Legal Proceedings

 

During the past ten years, none of the persons serving as executive officers and/or directors of the Company has been the subject matter of any of the following legal proceedings that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K including:  (a) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (b) any criminal convictions; (c) any order, judgment, or decree permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; (d) any finding by a court, the SEC or the CFTC to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud; or (e) any sanction or order of any self-regulatory organization or registered entity or equivalent exchange, association or entity.  Further, no such legal proceedings are believed to be contemplated by governmental authorities against any director or executive officer.

 

Board of Directors – Composition, Qualifications and Attributes

 

The Company's Board of Directors seeks to ensure that it is composed of members whose particular experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, when taken together, will allow the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight obligations effectively.  Currently, the Company does not have a separate nominating committee as, to date, it does not believe that the Company as an early stage company with limited personnel, required such a committee.  However, as the Company grows, the Board may consider establishing a separate nominating committee.  As such, currently the Board of Directors as a whole is in charge of identifying and appointing appropriate persons to add to the Board of Directors when necessary.

 

In identifying Board candidates it is the Board's goal to identify persons whom it believes have appropriate expertise and experience to contribute to the oversight of a company of the Company's nature while also reviewing other appropriate factors.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Oversight

 

The Company's Board of Directors currently comprises of two persons, being Joseph Segelman and Chaya Segelman.

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for risk oversight of the Company.  Risks facing the Company include competitive, economic, operational, financial, accounting, liquidity, tax, regulatory, safety, employment, political and other risks that are attendant to early stage companies.  Risks are reported to the Board of Directors through the Company's (and its subsidiaries') executive officers, who are responsible for the identification, assessment and management of the Company's risks.  However, the current members of the Board of Directors are actively involved in various aspects of the Company's operations and thus are also charged with identifying risks. The Board of Directors regularly discusses the risks identified and reported by the Company's executive officers and reviews with management strategies and actions to mitigate the risks and the status and effectiveness of such strategies and actions.

 

Meetings of the Board and Committees

 

The Board of Directors took action three times by written consent during the Company's calendar year ended December 31, 2016.   The Company's Board of Directors maintained regular communications throughout the year between all of the officers and directors.  The Company does not have a policy regarding board members' attendance at annual meetings of shareholders.  As discussed in more detail below, the Company does not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees.

 

 

 

 

Committees of the Company's Board of Directors

 

The Company does not have a separately designated audit committee or compensation committee. Instead, the entire Board as a whole acts as the Company's audit and compensation committees.  Consequently the Company does not currently have a designated audit committee financial expert.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has not formally adopted a written Code of Ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.

 

No Nominating Committee; Procedures by which Security Holders May Recommend Nominees to the Board of Directors

 

The Company does not have a separately designated nominating committee.  The Company does not have such a committee because we currently believe that, given our small size, and the fact that no Company securities are traded on a national stock exchange, that such a committee is not currently necessary.  Unless and until the Company establishes a separate nominating committee, when a board vacancy occurs, the remaining board members will participate in deliberations concerning director nominees.  In the future the Company may determine that it is appropriate to designate a separate nominating committee of the board of directors comprised solely of independent directors.

 

In considering candidates for membership on the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will take into consideration the needs of the Company and its Board of Directors, the qualifications of the candidate and the personal and cultural fit with the Company.  With respect to potential new Board members the Board will require and/or review information such as the following:

 

  The name and address of the proposed candidate;
  The proposed candidates' resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of the Company;
  A description of any relationship that could affect such person's qualifying as an independent director, including identifying all other public company board and committee memberships;
  Any information about the proposed candidate that would, under the federal proxy rules, be required to be included in the Company's proxy statement if such person were a nominee.

 

Director Independence

 

We do not have any independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  · the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
  · the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

 

 

 

 

  · a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
  · the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
  · the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
  · the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

Shareholder Communication with the Board of Directors

 

The Company values the views of its shareholders (current and future shareholders, employees and others).  Any shareholder desiring to communicate directly with any officer or director of the Company may address correspondence to that person at our offices in Beverly Hills, California.  Our office staff will forward such communications to the addressee.

 

Transactions with Related Persons

 

Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with our executive officer(s), Director(s) and significant stockholders. We rely on our board to review related party transactions on an ongoing basis to prevent conflicts of interest. Our board reviews a transaction in light of the affiliations of the director, officer or employee and the affiliations of such person’s immediate family. Transactions are presented to our board for approval before they are entered into or, if this is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our board finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate remedial action, if any. Our board approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with the best interests of the Company. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional Directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof.

 

The Company's Board of Directors as a whole is charged with reviewing and approving all related party transactions.  There have not been any transactions, or proposed transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which any Company director, officer, 5% beneficial owner or any member of the immediate family of the aforementioned persons had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest, except those outlined below.  The following disclosure is with respect to material transactions between the Company and related parties and with respect to material transactions.

 

Other than compensation arrangements, we describe below transactions and series of similar transactions, since January 1, 2015 (i.e., the last two completed fiscal years), to which we were a party or will be a party, in which the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years; and any of our directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

2015 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On May 1, 2015 the board of directors and stockholders of the Company authorized the adoption and implementation of the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The principal purpose of the 2015 Plan is to attract, retain and motivate employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company and its related companies by providing them the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and to link their interests and efforts to the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The material terms of the 2015 Plan are summarized below.

 

Share Reserve . Under the 2015 Plan, as amended on December 22, 2015, 14,000,000 shares of our common stock have initially been reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock and cash-based awards. To the extent that an award terminates, expires or lapses for any reason or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares, any shares subject to the award at such time will be available for future grants under the 2015 Plan. As of the date of this filing, options to issue 10,000,000 shares of our common stock (all of the share reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan) have been issued under the 2015 Plan. For information on the terms of such issued options, all of which have been issued to Joseph Segelman, our President and CEO.

 

 

 

 

Administration . The 2015 Plan will be administered by the Company’s board of directors as the “administrator”. Except for the terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the 2015 Plan, the administrator shall have full power and exclusive authority, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to such orders or resolutions not inconsistent with the provisions of the 2015 Plan as may from time to time be adopted by the Board to (i) select the eligible persons to whom awards may from time to time be granted under the 2015 Plan; (ii) determine the type or types of award to be granted to each participant under the 2015 Plan; (iii) determine the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award granted under the 2015 Plan; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any award granted under the 2015 Plan; (v) approve the forms of notice or agreement for use under the 2015 Plan; (vi) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances awards may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock or other property or canceled or suspended; (vii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances cash, shares of common stock, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the participant; (viii) interpret and administer the 2015 Plan and any instrument evidencing an award or notice or agreement entered into under the 2015 Plan; (ix) establish such rules and regulations as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the 2015 Plan; (x) delegate ministerial duties to such of the Company’s employees as it so determines; and (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the administrator deems necessary or desirable for administration of the 2015 Plan.

 

Eligibility . An award may be granted under the 2015 Plan to any employee, officer or director of the Company or a related company whom the administrator from time to time selects. An award may also be granted to any consultant, agent, advisor or independent contractor for bona fide services rendered to the Company or any related company that (a) are not in connection with the offer and sale of the Company’s securities in a capital-raising transaction and (b) do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.

 

Awards . The 2015 Plan provides that the administrator may grant or issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock and cash-based awards. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement with the person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of the award.

 

Nonstatutory Stock Option , or NSOs, will provide for the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a specified price which may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (at the discretion of the administrator) in one or more installments after the grant date, subject to the participant’s continued employment or service with us and/or subject to the satisfaction of corporate performance targets and individual performance targets established by the administrator. NSOs may be granted for any term specified by the administrator that does not exceed ten years.

 

Incentive Stock Options , or ISOs, will be designed in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date of grant. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our capital stock, the 2015 Plan provides that the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five years measured from the date of grant.

 

Restricted Stock may be granted to any eligible individual and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by the administrator. Restricted stock, typically, may be forfeited for no consideration or repurchased by us at the original purchase price if the conditions or restrictions on vesting are not met. In general, restricted stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions are removed or expire. Purchasers of restricted stock, unlike recipients of options, will have voting rights and the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions lapse; however, extraordinary dividends will generally be placed in escrow, and will not be released until restrictions are removed or expire.

 

Restricted Stock Units may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration, but subject to vesting conditions based on continued employment or service or on performance criteria established by the administrator. Like restricted stock, restricted stock units may not be sold or otherwise transferred or hypothecated until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted stock, stock underlying restricted stock units will not be issued until the restricted stock units have vested, and recipients of restricted stock units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.

 

 

 

 

Stock Appreciation Rights , or SARs, may be granted in connection with stock options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with stock options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our common stock over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the 2015 Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Except as required by Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to a SAR intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m) of the Code, there are no restrictions specified in the 2015 Plan on the exercise of SARs or the amount of gain realizable therefrom, although restrictions may be imposed by the administrator in the SAR agreements. SARs under the 2015 Plan will be settled in cash or shares of our common stock, or in a combination of both, at the election of the administrator.

 

Dividend Equivalents represent the value of the dividends, if any, per share paid by us, calculated with reference to the number of shares covered by the award. Dividend equivalents may be settled in cash or shares and at such times as determined by the compensation committee or board of directors, as applicable.

 

Qualified Performance-Based Awards. The administrator has the ability to grant restricted stock or restricted stock units as qualified performance-based awards under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Change in Control . In the event of a change of control, as defined in the 2015 Plan, the administrator may, in its discretion and without limitation, (i) cancel outstanding awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such awards, (ii) substitute other property (including cash or other securities) for shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards, (iii) arrange for the assumption of awards, or replacement of awards with new awards based on other property or securities, and (iv) after giving participants an opportunity to exercise any outstanding stock options and SARs, terminate any or all unexercised options and SARs.

 

Adjustments of Awards . In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization, distribution of our assets to stockholders (other than normal cash dividends) or any other corporate event affecting the number of outstanding shares of our common stock or the share price of our common stock that would require adjustments to the 2015 Plan or any awards under the 2015 Plan in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits intended to be made available thereunder, the administrator will make appropriate, proportionate adjustments to the aggregate number and type of shares subject to the 2015 Plan, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards and terms and conditions of outstanding awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect to such awards), and the grant or exercise price per share of any outstanding awards under the 2015 Plan.

 

Amendment and Termination . Our board of directors may amend or modify the 2015 Plan at any time and from time to time. However, we must generally obtain stockholder approval to increase the number of shares available under the 2015 Plan (other than in connection with certain corporate events, as described above) and to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable stock exchange rule).

 

Termination . The board of directors may terminate the 2015 Plan at any time. No awards may be granted under the 2015 Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the 2015 Plan.

 

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The Board of Directors acting in lieu of a compensation committee, is charged with reviewing and approving the terms and structure of the compensation of the Company's executive officers.  To date, the Company has not retained an independent compensation committee to assist the Company review and analyze the structure and terms of the Company's executive officers.

 

The Company considers various factors when evaluating and determining the compensation terms and structure of its executive officers, including the following:

 

1. The Executive's leadership and operational performance and potential to enhance long-term value to the Company's shareholders;
2. The Company's financial resources, results of operations, and financial projections;
3. Performance compared to the financial, operational and strategic goals established for the Company;

 

 

 

 

4. The nature, scope and level of the executive's responsibilities;
5. Competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions, experience and performance levels; and
6. The executive's current salary, the appropriate balance between incentives for long-term and short-term performance.

 

Company management is responsible for reviewing the base salary, annual bonus and long-term compensation levels for other Company employees, and the Company expects this practice to continue going forward.  The entire Board of Directors remains responsible for significant changes to, or adoption, of new employee benefit plans.  The Company believes that, as a relatively new company, its compensation structure is fair to its executive officers as it is intended to balance the Company's need to minimize its overhead costs yet reward its executives for individual performance and company performance.

 

During the Company's 2016 and 2015 calendar years it paid its executive officers the following base salaries:

 

Joseph Segelman was paid a salary of $165,000 in 2015 and $0 in 2016.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

The Board of Directors is nominating two persons to be elected to the Company's Board of Directors:  Joseph Segelman and Chaya Segelman.  If elected each director will serve for a one year term and until his/her successor is elected and qualified.

 

The Company's Board of Directors currently consists of three directors.  After consideration of director nominees and other factors, the Board of Directors determined to reduce the size of the Board to two members.

 

Vote Required and Recommendation

 

To be elected each director must receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting.  The holders of Common Stock will vote as a single class.  The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the election of Joseph Segelman and Chaya Segelman.  Unless otherwise specified, the enclosed proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of the Board of Directors' slate of nominees.  Neither Management nor the Board of Directors of the Company is aware of any reason which would cause any nominee to be unavailable to serve as a Director.

 

PROPOSAL TWO

AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO AUTHORIZE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Company's Board of Directors proposes an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to authorize a class of preferred stock, titled Series A Preferred Stock, which will consist of one share. The Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class with the holders of the Corporation’s common stock and the holders of any other class or series of shares entitled to vote with the common stock, with the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock being entitled to fifty-one (51%) of the total votes on all such matters regardless of the actual number f shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, and the holders of common stock and any other shares entitled to vote being entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 49% of the total votes based on their respective voting power. The Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any right to receive any dividends, nor any distributions in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary. The one share of Series A Preferred Stock will be issued to Joseph Segelman.

 

Discussion of Proposed Amendment

 

The Company believes that it is necessary for our sole officer, Joseph Segelman, to retain voting control over the Company, in order for the Company to accomplish its business objectives.  Consequently, the Board of Directors approved, and recommends that the shareholders approve, an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to authorize the single share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects .  The issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock by the Company may potentially have an anti-takeover effect by making it more difficult to obtain stockholder approval of various actions, such as a merger or removal of management.  The authorization of the Series A Preferred Stock has not been proposed for an anti-takeover related purpose and the Board of Directors and management have no knowledge of any current efforts to obtain control of the Company or to effect large accumulations of its Common Stock.

 

 

 

 

Dilutive Effects .  The authorization and subsequent issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock may, among other things, have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity and voting power of existing holders of our capital stock.  The actual effect on the current holders of Common Stock cannot be ascertained until the Series A Preferred Stock is issued.  However, such effects might include dilution of the voting power and reduction of amounts available on liquidation.

 

Vote Required and Recommendation of Board

 

Proposal Two requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Common Stock at the Meeting.  The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to authorize the single share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

PROPOSAL THREE

AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO CHANGE THE CORPORATE NAME

 

The Company’s board of directors proposes an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation in order to change the corporate name from Reign Sapphire Corporation, to Reign Corporation.

 

Discussion of Proposed Amendment

 

The Company believes that the corporate name change to Reign Corporation will better identify the business operations of the Company, as due to recent acquisitions, the Company no longer only sells sapphire jewelry. The Company believes it will be better positioned in the future with a corporate name that does not identify the Company with only one business line.

 

ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

Upon written request, we will provide, without charge, a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 to any stockholders of record, or to any stockholder who owns common stock listed in the name of a bank or broker as nominee, at the close of business on the Record Date.
