On February 10, 2012, pursuant to a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between the Issuer and Intellinetics, all of the former shareholders of Intellinetics transferred to the Issuer all of their shares of Intellinetics common stock in exchange for the issuance of 28,034,850 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock, constituting approximately 86% of the Issuer’s total shares outstanding immediately following the closing of the transaction (such transaction, the “Share Exchange”).

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and the Share Exchange, A. Michael Chretien became the beneficial owner of 9,727,800 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

The purpose of the Exchange Agreement was for the Issuer to acquire control of Intellinetics, an enterprise content management software development, sales, and marketing company.

As a result of the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Issuer ceased to be a “shell company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Intellinetics became the Issuer’s wholly-owned subsidiary.

Santiago, another former Intellinetics shareholder, was appointed as a director of the Issuer and as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. Matthew L. Chretien, another former Intellinetics shareholder and the son of A. Michael Chretien, was appointed as the Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, and Treasurer of the Issuer.

Effective February 27, 2012, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and ten days following the dissemination to the Issuer’s shareholders of an information statement on Schedule 14f-1, Donald R. Mayer resigned as a director of the Issuer, the bylaws of the Issuer were amended to allow for between three and nine directors, the authorized number of directors of the Issuer was set at six, and five individuals were appointed as directors of the Issuer. The new directors are A. Michael Chretien, and other former Intellinetics shareholders Matthew L. Chretien, Thomas D. Moss, Raymond M. Shealy, and Rye D’Orazio. Also effective February 27, 2012, Matthew L. Chretien was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer.
