Item 5.02. Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
2021 Named Executive Officers Stock Compensation Plan
On
At the Company's 2020 Annual Shareholder meeting, held on
As disclosed in the Proxy Statement to the Shareholders, it was stated, "The key components of our executive compensation program are base salary, annual short-term incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation (restricted stock for achievement of milestones). In this mix of compensation, the achievement of the milestones is a significant portion of total compensation. Base salaries are based the Company's limited cash reserves, and not industry standards."

The Company's Board of Directors has implemented an objective criteria and a structured method of determining compensation. Compensation decisions made by the Board of Directors rely on performance, available working capital and individual levels. The Board of Directors reserve the right to modify or discontinue elements of the executive compensation program, and to revise compensation levels after considering qualitative and quantitative facts and circumstances surrounding actual or projected financial results, individual performance, as well as its view of the appropriate balance among base salary, annual short-term incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and other benefits.
The Board of Directors has determined that the Company needs to preserve its cash reserves to purchase inventory and run its daily operations. In an effort to preserve these cash reserves, the Board wants to act in the best interests of its shareholders, by establishing a 2021 Named Executive Officers Stock Compensation Plan, whereby the Named Executive Officers can elect to take restricted shares of common stock in lieu of salary.
Any Named Executive Officer of the Company may participate in the Plan and, if they elect to do so. They shall receive restricted shares of the Company's common stock (the "Plan Shares") in lieu of base cash salary payable to such person. The number of shares to be received by any participant shall be computed by dividing the Fair Market Value of the Company's common stock (defined the closing price, as reported by OTC Markets) within five (5) business days of the election date, by the aggregate base cash salary payable to such individual during the election period. Shares issuable under the Plan will be issued to the Named Executive Officer during the Election Period. Any and all elections made pursuant to the Plan are non-revocable.

A complete copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
