Item 5.02     Corporate Governance.
The Company has voluntarily elected to fully-report with audited financial statements by Spring, 2016. It has also reassessed its need for a full-time chief financial officer until its longer-term expansion plan to open multiple retail establishments has begun to develop. In connection with this decision Mr. Lillis will remain available to the Company on a consulting basis and will no longer serve as chief financial officer.
Item 8.01     Other Events.
Certain shareholder-lenders representing $3 million of debt have elected to convert early-stage loans into common stock at the negotiated price of $.30 per share in anticipation of the Company's closing on a $5 million equity offering. The proceeds of the offering will be used to fund an expansion into the retail sector in the format of a combined neighborhood cheese shop and café. In conjunction with an anticipated closing of its equity offering this month, the Company has initiated a site selection plan with commercial real property broker, Cushman & Wakefield. The first outlet is targeted for Spring 2016 in the borough of Manhattan in New York City.
The shareholder loan conversion is part of a previously announced agreement with early-stage investors to convert approximately $7 million of loans into common stock at $.30 per share at the closing of the equity offering.
