Item 1.03  Bankruptcy or Receivership.

 

On January 15, 2016 TriStar Wellness Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") ceased operations and commenced bankruptcy proceedings (the "Chapter 7 Case") by filing a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§101 et seq. (the "Code"), to initiate an orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company. The Chapter 7 Case was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon. As a result of the filing, a Chapter 7 trustee will be appointed in the Chapter 7 Case (the "Chapter 7 Trustee"), and the assets of the Company will be liquidated in accordance with the Code.

 

SECTION 5 - CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(b) Each of the directors of the Company, Dr. Michel Boileau, Mr. Stuart Sands, and Mr. Michael Wax, resigned as a member of the Company's board of directors effective immediately upon the filing of the Chapter 7 Case. The resignations are not the result of any disagreement with the Company regarding the Company's operations, policies, or practices, but are because of the filing of the Chapter 7 Case. The Chapter 7 trustee will assume control over the assets of the Company, effectively eliminating the authority and powers of the board of directors of the Company.

 

Mr. Wax, Interim Chief Executive Officer and President and Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, also resigned all of his officer positions with the Company effective immediately upon the filing of the Chapter 7 Case. Mr. Wax was the only officer of the Company at the time of his resignation.
