ITEM 5.02DEPARTURE OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

  

On January 22, 2020, Jonathan R. Tegge resigned from his position as the Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective immediately. The Company expects that Mr. Tegge will continue to provide certain accounting and reporting services to the Company as an employee of Brio Financial Group LLC (“Brio”) pursuant to the Company’s existing agreement with Brio.

 

On January 22, 2020, the Company appointed William J. Caragol, 52 as its Chief Financial Officer. In connection with Mr. Caragol’s appointment, the Company entered into a consulting agreement dated January 22, 2020 with Quidem LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Quidem”) owned by Mr. Caragol. Under the agreement, Quidem agreed to provide certain consulting services to the Company, including assistance in capital raising, strategic planning, budgeting, financial reporting and investor relations. The agreement has a term of one year and may be terminated by either party upon thirty days’ notice. Quidem will be entitled to receive $5,000 per month for the provision of such consulting services, including making Mr. Caragol available to act as the Company’s part-time Chief Financial Officer.

 

Mr. Caragol has been Managing Director of Quidem LLC since 2018 and over the past thirty years has been a director, CFO or CEO of over a dozen public and private companies, primarily in the early growth stage of development, including two Nasdaq IPOs. Most recently from 2015 to 2018 Mr. Caragol was the Chairman, CEO and Acting CFO of PositiveID, a company focused on the development of high technology platforms, including both medical devices and homeland security applications. Mr. Caragol has a B.S. in Administration and Accounting from Washington & Lee University, and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

 

A copy of the consulting agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
