Effective June 8, 2015, Jessica Snyder-Gutierrez was appointed the Company’s Executive Vice President and Secretary for a term of three years.

Beginning in May 2010 Ms. Snyder-Snyder-Gutierrez served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Hall of Fame Beverage, Inc.

Further, neither Hall of Fame Beverage, Inc. nor any of its affiliates, promoters or related persons have ever had any relationship with the Company. The Company, through its outside SEC compliance counsel, reviewed Ms. Snyder-Snyder-Gutierrez’s service for Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc., including the circumstances regarding her resignation, and determined that her previous duties and performance were compliant with both her fiduciary duties and existing law.

Since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, Ms. Snyder-Gutierrez was not involved in any transaction with any related person, promoter or control person of the Company that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

The Company and Ms. Snyder-Gutierrez entered into a written contract in which Ms. Snyder-Gutierrez agreed to render services as Executive Vice President and Secretary to the Company.
