Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Effective January 1, 2020, we consummated a plan and agreement of merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with Black Bird Potentials Inc., a Wyoming corporation
("Black Bird"), pursuant to which Black Bird has become our wholly-owned
subsidiary. Under the Merger Agreement, we issued a total of 120,000,000 shares
of our common stock to the Black Bird shareholders, in exchange for their voting
stock of Black Bird.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain of our new directors and officers were
issued shares of our common stock, as follows:
Name of New Number of
Director/Officer Current Position(s) Shares Issued
Fabian G. Deneault President, Director 49,746,265 shares
24,658,709 shares
Eric Newlan Vice President, Secretary, Director (1)
24,658,709 shares
L. A. Newlan, Jr. Director (1)
William E. Sluss Vice President-Finance, Director (2) 1,115,002 shares
(1) Such shares were issued in the name of Newlan & Newlan, Ltd., a law firm
owned 50% each by Eric Newlan and L. A. Newlan, Jr. During the second half
of 2019, Newlan & Newlan, Ltd. served as legal counsel to our company.
(2)
Prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Sluss was our
company's principal accounting officer.
In determining the number of shares of our common stock to be issued under the
Merger Agreement, our Board of Directors did not employ any standard valuation
formula or any other standard measure of value. Rather, the number of shares
that was issued was determined through arm's-length negotiations.
The acquisition of Black Bird was pursued and consummated by our company, after
our Board of Directors had determined, after investigating the Black Bird
opportunity, that the best interests of our company and our shareholders would
be best served by acquiring Black Bird rather than to continue as a "shell
company."
Our Board of Directors has adopted the business plan of Black Bird. Please see
"Our Company After Acquiring Black Bird Potentials Inc." below for a complete
description of our company following the acquisition of Black Bird, its business
plans, its financial condition and the current status of its business efforts,
as a combined enterprise with Black Bird.
