ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

Adoption of 2013 Stock Incentive Plan Effective November 21, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Company's 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). The purpose of this 2013 Plan is to maintain the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries (if any) to attract and retain highly qualified and experienced directors, officers, employees and consultants ("Participants") and to give such Participants a continued proprietary interest in the success of the Company and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to this Plan, eligible Participants will be provided the opportunity to participate in the enhancement of shareholder value through the grants of options, stock appreciation rights, awards of free trading stock and restricted stock, bonuses and/or fees payable in stock, or any combination thereof. The term "subsidiary" as used in this Plan shall mean any present or future corporation which is or would be a "subsidiary corporation" of the Company as the term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the "Code").

The 2013 Plan allows the Company to grant options, stock appreciation rights, awards, bonuses and or fees payable in stock or any combination thereof to its officers, directors, and employees. In addition, the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, awards, bonuses and or fees payable in stock or any combination thereof to individuals who act as consultants to the Company, so long as those consultants do not provide services connected to the offer or sale of the Company's securities in capital raising transactions.

A total of 2,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock are available for issuance under the Plan.

2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the Plan are those intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company within 12 months of its adoption. The Plan has not been approved by the Company's stockholders. Non-qualified stock options granted under the Plan are option grants that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The above description of the 2013 Plan does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2013 Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Grant of Options Pursuant to 2013 Plan Effective November 21, 2013, the Company granted non-qualified stock options to acquire an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock under the Company's 2013 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the "2013 Plan") to various officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Each option was granted for a six year term with an exercise price of $6.00 per share. Of the 1,500,000 stock options granted, 950,000 were issued to the Company's directors and executive officers, 250,000 were issued to executive officers and directors of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary and the remaining 300,000 were issued to various consultants of the Company.
