Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On June 1, 2011, the Company announced the appointment of Matthew D. Liotta to fill a vacancy in its Board of Directors, increasing the number of Board members from three to four. Mr. Liottas appointment is effective as of June 2, 2011 and he will serve his term as director until the date of the next annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company, or until his successor is duly elected or qualified.
Mr. Liotta currently serves as Chief Executive Officer for PodPonics, LLC, a company he founded in 2010. Mr. Liotta was the Chief Technology Officer and a director of Rapid Link Incorporated (our predecessor) from October 2008 through August 2009. In 2004, Mr. Liotta founded One Ring Networks, Inc. (One Ring), a hybrid fiber and fixed access carrier and an alternative access provider in the U.S. In 2008, Rapid Link Incorporated acquired One Ring. Prior to founding One Ring, Mr. Liotta was the chief executive officer of Montara Software, a content management and portal software company, from 2002 through 2004. Prior to that, Mr. Liotta was the portal engineering manager for DevX. Mr. Liotta has also served as a software architect for a variety of companies in San Francisco and Atlanta.
As previously disclosed, Mr. Liotta in November 2009 commenced litigation against Telenational Communications, Inc., our former subsidiary, alleging wrongful termination and damages for unpaid compensation. Mr. Liotta was also involved in a separate lawsuit against Telenational Communications and Rapid Link Incorporated claiming certain contingent purchase price payments under a stock purchase agreement with Rapid Link Incorporated. Both of these claims arose prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement transaction, and the resulting change in control of the Company, in February 2010. On July 28, 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Liotta and other plaintiffs in both of these proceedings pursuant to which we agreed to issue an aggregate of 350,000 shares of our common stock to the plaintiffs in exchange for a full release of all liabilities, damages and obligations relating to these matters.
There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Liotta and the Company, or to the Companys knowledge, any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Liotta was selected as a director. Except as disclosed above, there have been no transactions, and no transactions are proposed, by Mr. Liotta with related persons as defined by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
