NaturalNano, Inc., (NNAN) announced that on June 23, 2016 (the "Effective Date"), it entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with all of the shareholders of Omni Shrimp, Inc., a Florida corporation ("OMNI"), pursuant to which the shareholders exchanged with the Company all of the outstanding shares of stock of OMNI and OMNI thereupon became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In consideration for the exchange of those OMNI shares, the Company issued 28,500 shares of a newly created Series E Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series E Preferred Stock").
As a result of their ownership of the Series E Preferred Stock, the Omni shareholders acquired the right to vote 95% of the voting control of the Company. The Series E Preferred Stock is also convertible into common stock which, in the aggregate, would represent up to 95% of the outstanding common stock after the conversion. In addition, on the Effective Date, the holders of all of the Company's outstanding Series B and Series D Preferred Stock, including Mr. Wemett as the holder of the Series D shares, surrendered those shares to the Company.
On June 15, 2016, two of the Company's directors, Isaac Onn and Alex Ruckdaschel, resigned from those positions. Neither of the resignations was the result of any disagreement with the management of the Company.
On June 21, 2016, to fill one of the Board vacancies, Colm Wrynn was elected as a director of the Company.
On the Effective Date, James Wemett resigned as an officer of the Company and Colm Wrynn, the President of Omni became the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Daniel Stelcer, a Vice President of Omni became the Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Wemett will resign as a director of the Company, and Mr. Stelcer will be appointed in his stead, effective as of ten (10) days after the delivery to the shareholders of the Company of an Information Statement pursuant to Rule 14f-1.
Additionally, on the Effective Date the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with James Wemett, the former President and CEO, pursuant to which Mr. Wemett acquired all right, title and interest to the existing business activities of the Company prior to that date; specifically, those activities were (i) developing and commercializing material additives based on a technology utilizing halloysite nanotubes and (ii) reselling Ebola personal protective equipment and ancillary supplies, and assumed the related liabilities. In connection with that transaction, Mr. Wemett waived all accumulated compensation due to him from the Company.
In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and Mr. Wemett exchanged releases, and the Company issued to Wemett a six year divisible Warrant with cashless exercise to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.05 per share.
In connection with the Exchange Agreement and the disposition of the company's existing business, the Company has relocated its principal offices to 13613 Gulf Boulevard, Madeira Beach, Florida 33738.
Jim Wemett, outgoing CEO of NaturalNano stated, "We are very pleased to have acquired Omni Shrimp on behalf of our shareholders. We believe this new direction will be most beneficial for all stakeholders".
Colm Wrynn, now CEO of NaturalNano commented, "We are thrilled that Omni Shrimp is now part of a public Company and look forward to our continued success and growth on behalf of the Company's shareholders as we build out our customer base and our territorial reach".
