Family Relationships

 

Except for Michael J. West and Stephen West who are brothers, there are no family relationships among any of our directors, executive officers or key employees. 

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our shares are currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “CNMF.”   We have no separately designated standing audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. The functions of those committees are currently undertaken by our Board of Directors.

 

Our Board of Directors believes that, considering our size, decisions relating to director nominations can be made on a case-by-case basis by all members of the Board of Directors without the formality of a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.

 

The Board of Directors does not have an express policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by stockholders since the Board of Directors believes that it can adequately evaluate any such nominees on a case-by-case basis; however, the Board of Directors will evaluate stockholder recommended candidates under the same criteria as internally generated candidates. Although the Board of Directors does not currently have any formal minimum criteria for nominees, substantial relevant business and industry experience would generally be considered important, as would the ability to attend and prepare for board, committee and stockholder meetings. Any candidate must state in advance his or her willingness and interest in serving on the board of directors.

 

Meetings of the Board of Directors

 

Our Board held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019 and acted via board consent. We held no annual meeting of stockholders during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Director Independence

 

The OTCQB imposes no director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive 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.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of our securities with the SEC on Forms 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership), 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities).  Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.  Based solely on review of the copies of such forms, our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to them.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our current or incoming directors, officers or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
