5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers
Effective
May 27, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company elected Joe
Christopher to the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Christopher, 60, has served
as the President of Oil America Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company since 2005. Mr. Christopher will serve as a Director until
the next annual meeting of the Shareholders of the Company.
Our
common stock trades on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. As such, we are not
currently subject to corporate governance standards of listed companies, which
require, among other things, that the majority of the board of directors be
independent. We are not currently subject to corporate governance
standards defining the independence of our directors, and we have chosen to
define an “independent” director in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market's
requirements for independent directors (NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200). Under
this definition, we have determined that since we have only two directors,
Charles Bitters, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and
Mr. Christopher, we do not currently qualify as has having any independent
directors. We do not list the “independent” definition we use on our Internet
website.
A copy of
the Company’s press release, dated June 2, 2008, announcing Mr. Christopher’s
election is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
