Item 4.   Purpose of the Transaction.

 

  On December 19, 2018, Mr. Headrick received 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Shares”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with the Issuer and Renewable Technology Solutions, Inc., a Tennessee corporation (“RTS”), by which RTS became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. On May 3, 2018, Mr. Headrick was awarded a grant of 10,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock as compensation for service as a director of the Issuer, vesting 1/3rd immediately, 1/3rd after one year and 1/3rd after two years for his services as a director. Mr. Headrick has the right to vote all 10,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, therefore, these shares are included in his total beneficial ownership.

 

 Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, after the expiration of the Unwind Condition defined below and the filing of an amendment to the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Issuer will issue to Mr. Headrick 150,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series D Preferred Shares”) that will have the right to an aggregate of 1,500,000,000 votes on all items presented to stockholders for a vote. After the issuance of the Series D Preferred Shares to Mr. Headrick, he will own securities providing him the right to vote approximately eighty eight percent (88%) of the Issuer’s voting securities. If prior to the twelve-month anniversary of the execution of the Share Exchange Agreement, RTS has not delivered evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of a copy of a financial commitment from a reputable source for $3,000,000 to fund in part the construction of a renewable fuel manufacturing facility to be located in Bay Minette, Alabama, the purchase of the equipment to be contained therein and the applicable technology (the “Unwind Condition”), the Share Exchange will be unwound and RTS Shares will be returned to Mr. Headrick and the Common Shares will be returned to the Issuer. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, until the Unwind Condition is satisfied Mr. Headrick has also agreed not to assign, pledge or transfer of any of the Common Shares.
