As previously reported, on February 1, 2017, the Board of Directors of Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. appointed R. Daren Baxter to the Board, subject to the approval of the law firm in which he is a partner. As of March 21, 2017, Mr. Baxter has advised the company that such approval was denied and, therefore, Mr. Baxter's appointment, as well as the stock option grant which accompanied his appointment, is not effective and deemed null and void.
