CHANGE OF CONTROL AND CHANGE OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

On December 31, 2018, the Company completed a series of transactions set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), dated December 31, 2018, by and among the Company, Mid-Heaven Sincerity International Resources Investment Co., Ltd, a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Mid-Heaven”), Mao Zhang, Jian Zhang, and Ying Zhao, constituting all of the shareholders of Mid-Heaven (the “Mid-Heaven Shareholders”) whereby the Company issued an aggregate of 186,588,264 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share (the Common Stock”) to the Mid-Haven Shareholders as consideration for the exchange of 100% of the ownership shares of Mid-Heaven (the “Acquisition”). In connection with the transaction, Mao Zhang will be issued 141,919,034 shares of Common Stock, Jian Zhang will be issued 39,015,606 shares of Common Stock and Ying Zhao will be issued 5,653,624 shares of Common Stock representing 53.2%, 14.6% and 2.1% of the issued and outstanding stock, respectively, upon the effective date of a Schedule 14C relating to the increase of the authorized shares of the Company to 500,000,000 shares which has been approved by written consent by a majority of the stockholders of the Company.

 

On January 24, 2019, the Share Exchange Agreement was amended to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued to the Mid-Haven Shareholders from 186,588,264 shares to 106,001,971 shares. As a result, Mao Zhang will be issued 80,625,099 shares of Common Stock, Jian Zhang will be issued 22,165,012 shares of Common Stock and Ying Zhao will be issued 3,211,860 shares of Common Stock representing approximately 43.3%, 11.9% and 1.73% of the issued and outstanding stock, respectively, after the effective date of the increase of the authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company to 500,000,000.

 

 

 

 

The Share Exchange Agreement provides for certain limitations on actions taken by the Company until such effective date and proxies will be executed to grant the Mid-Haven Shareholders voting power consistent with the foregoing ownership percentages expiring upon the effective date of Schedule 14C.

 

On February 4, 2019, Northtech Holdings Inc. granted proxies to Mao Zhang, Jian Zhang and Zhao Ying to vote respectively 31,221,070, 8,491,481 and 1,230,472 shares of the Company’s Common Stock or approximately 41.5%, 11.32% and 1.64% respectively of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company. The proxies shall automatically expire upon issuance of shares due to the Mid-Haven Shareholders. After granting the proxies Northtech holds approximately 38.5% and Mr. Jimin Zhang holds approximately 1.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

 

The shares of Common Stock were issued to the Mid-Haven Shareholders pursuant to exemptions under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Regulation S thereunder. Mid-Haven, through two subsidiaries, owns 100% of Qing Hai Mid-Heaven Boron & Lithium Technology Company, Ltd. (“Qing Hai Technology”). The Acquisition was structured as a tax-free reorganization.

 

Additionally, the Share Exchange Agreement provides for the resignation and election of certain directors of the Company, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") thereunder.  The transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, including the change in composition of the Board of Directors of the Company as described herein, will result in a change of control of Smartheat.

 

Until the Closing Date, Mr. Kenneth Scipta, Ms. Hunajun Ai and Mr. Yangkai Wang were the officers of Smartheat, and Qingtai Kong, Xin Li and Weiguo Wang were directors of Smartheat.  On the Closing Date, Mr. Qingtai Kong, Mr. Xin Li and Mr. Weiguo Wang, submitted their resignation from Smartheat's Board of Directors (the "Board") and appointed Mr. Mao Zhang, Mr. Jimin Zhang, Mr. Xing Hai Li, and Mr. Liguo Zhang to serve on the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Term of Office

 

Directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by our Board.

 

All officers and directors listed above will remain in office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our bylaws provide that officers are appointed annually by our Board and each executive officer serves at the discretion of our Board.

 

Director Independence

 

We use 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, 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.

 

Smartheat's Common Stock is not currently quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our board of directors is independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements. Under the NASDAQ standards described above, the Company believes that Kenneth Scipta, Xing Hai Li and Liguo Zhang will be independent directors.

 

 

 

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

It is the intention of the board of directors to form three standing committees: Audit, Compensation and Nominating. Actions taken by our committees are reported to the full board. Each of our committees is expected to adopt a charter and each charter will be posted on our website.
