EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on March 31, 2021 (the “Original Filing”). We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing. This Amendment amends the Original Filing to include the information required by Part III of the Original Filing because we have not and will not file a definitive proxy statement within 120 days after the end of our 2020 fiscal year. As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amendment amends Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing to include new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Amendment contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, outcome of events, timing and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our business, particularly those mentioned in the Risk Factors in Item 1A of our Original Filing and in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

 

All references in this Amendment to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Andover National Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Director Independence

 

We are not currently listed on any trading market and therefore we are not required to have a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors or separate committees comprised of independent directors. We use the definition of “independence” under the Nasdaq Rules, as applicable and as may be modified or supplemented from time to time and the interpretations thereunder, to determine if the members of our board of directors are independent. In making this determination, our board of directors considers, among other things, transactions and relationships between each director and his immediate family and us, including those reported in this Amendment under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions are material and, therefore, inconsistent with a determination that the directors are independent. On the basis of such review and its understanding of such relationships and transactions, our board of directors has determined that Rehana S. Farrell and Jules B. Kroll are “independent directors”.

  

Our board of directors will continually assess its size, structure and composition, taking into consideration its current strengths, skills and experience, and the requirements and strategic direction of the Company. As required, our board of directors will seek out and recommend suitable candidates for consideration as members of the board or directors.

  

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

 

In 2020, the board of directors held two meetings which were attended by all currently serving members of the board of directors.

 

We do not have any committees of our board of directors. Because of the lack of financial resources available to us, we also do not have an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is described in Item 401 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

 

Delinquent Section 16 Reports

 

Our records reflect that all reports which were required to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, were filed on a timely basis.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We expect that our officers and directors will maintain appropriate standards of honesty and ethical conduct in connection with the performance of their duties on our behalf. In recognition of this expectation, we have adopted a Code of Ethics. The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to codify standards we believe are reasonably necessary to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships and full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC, or other regulatory bodies and in our other public communications.

The total number of shares of our common stock initially reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan was equal to 1,000,000.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

The following table sets forth information regarding shares of our Class A Common Stock beneficially owned as of April 15, 2021 by: (i) each of our named officers and directors; (ii) all officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each person known by us to beneficially own five percent or more of the outstanding shares of its common stock. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. We deem shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days of April 15, 2021 pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table. Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown to be beneficially owned by them based on information provided to us by these stockholders. Percentage of ownership is based on 3,560,462 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on April 15, 2021.
