General
Information Concerning the Board of Directors
.
Meetings
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, our board of directors held four meetings.
Each member of the board of directors participated in each meeting of the board.
In the interim between annual meetings, the board has the authority under our
bylaws to increase or decrease the size of the board and to fill vacancies
on
the board, for the unexpired term of such vacant position.
Compensation
of Directors
.
All
members of our board of directors are employees of the company, and do not
receive any additional compensation for serving on the board, although the
company may adopt a director compensation policy in the future.
Conflicts
of Interest
Our
management has other financial and business interests to which a significant
amount of time is devoted which may pose conflicts of interest with regard
to
the allocation of their time and efforts. Teodosio Pangia, our former president
and chief executive officer and a former director owns 4,500,000 shares or
1.3%
of our shares of common stock. He is also the sole principal of Epwort Trading,
Ltd., holder of 53,821,763 shares or 15.0% of our common stock and beneficially
owns and/or controls, either directly or indirectly, seven companies, Altea
Investments, Ltd., Gata Investments, Ltd., Baychester
Investments, Ltd., TVP Capital Corp., Bekeman Investments, Ltd.,
Aester Investment Holdings Limited, and S D Investments, Ltd., which in the
aggregate hold 8,243,000 shares or 2.3% of our shares of common stock. There
can
be no assurance that our management will resolve all conflicts of interest
in
favor of the company. Failure of management to conduct the company’s business in
its best interest may result in liability of our management to the
company.
Code
of Ethics
We
have a
code of ethics that applies to members of our board, our officers including
our
president (our principal executive officer), and our chief financial officer
(our principal financial and accounting officer). The code of ethics sets
forth written standards which are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote
honest and ethical conduct; full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable
disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the
Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made
by
us; compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules, and regulations; prompt
internal reporting of violations of the code of ethics to an appropriate person
or persons identified in the code of ethics; and accountability for adherence
to
the code of ethics. A copy of the code of ethics is attached as an exhibit
to
our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14,
2004.
Committees
of the Board
The
board
of directors does not have a standing audit committee, nominating committee,
or
compensation committee and has not adopted a charter for any of such committees.
The board has not established committees, because at the company’s current stage
of development, the board has not felt the need to appoint committees and
because there are no independent directors to appoint to such committees.
Independence
There
are
no “independent directors” as defined in Rule 4200 of the Marketplace Rules of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. on our board. All of our
directors are employees of the company and are our management team. At such
time
as financial resources are available, the board may seek to recruit one or
more
independent directors.
Selection
of Nominees
The
entire board considers candidates for the board of directors. The board does
not
believe there is any single set of qualities or skills that an individual must
possess to be an effective director or that it is appropriate to establish
any
specific, minimum qualifications for a candidate for election as a director.
Rather, each candidate will be evaluated in light of the strengths of the other
members of the board and the needs of the board and our company at the time
of
the election, and the following criteria:
|
|
·
|
Reputation
for integrity.
|
|
|
·
|
Business
expertise and achievements.
|
|
|
·
|
Demonstrated
ability and sound judgment that usually will be based on broad
experience.
|
|
|
·
|
Ability
and willingness to devote the required amount of time to our affairs,
including attendance at board and committee meetings and the annual
stockholders' meeting.
|
|
|
·
|
Temperament
and objectivity.
|
|
|
·
|
Commitment
to our values of building sound, long-term growth for our
stockholders.
|
The
board
of directors will also consider candidates for directors nominated by
stockholders.
Stockholder
Recommendations for Nomination as a Director
A
stockholder who wishes to submit a candidate for consideration at the annual
meeting of stockholders to be held in 2008, must notify the secretary of the
company, in writing, no later than December 31, 2007. The written notice must
include information about each proposed nominee, including name, age, business
address, principal occupation, shares beneficially owned, and other information
required to be included in proxy solicitations. A statement from the proposed
candidate must also be furnished, indicating the candidate's desire and ability
to serve as a director. Adherence to these procedures is a prerequisite to
a
stockholder's right to nominate a candidate for director.
Communications
with the Board
Stockholders
and other parties interested in communicating with our board may do so by
writing to the Board of Directors, Diamond Discoveries International Corp.,
45
Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 2000, New York, NY 10111. The chairman of the board
reviews and forwards all such correspondence to the other members of the board.
Directors may at any time review a log of all correspondence received by the
company that is addressed to the board and request copies of any such
correspondence.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive
officers, and 10% or greater shareholders of the Company to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and
reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the company (Form 4
and
Form 5) and to provide copies of these Forms, as filed, to the company. Based
solely on our review of the copies of these forms received by us or
representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that SEC beneficial
ownership reporting requirements for fiscal 2006 were met.
Due
to
the complexity of the reporting rules, we expect to institute procedures to
assist our officers and directors with these obligations.
EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION

capacities to the company and its subsidiaries paid during the year ended

Action
2 — Approval of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation
to
Increase
Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock
The
holders of 198,395,122 shares of our common stock, representing 55.4% of
the
shares of our common stock entitled to vote on the record date, executed
a
written consent in lieu of an annual meeting which is effective on January
7,
2008, approving an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 480 Million
to 2.5
Billion. The form of the certificate of amendment to the certificate of
incorporation is attached as
Exhibit
A
to this
information statement.
Purpose
of Increase in the Number of Authorized Shares
The
company has only approximately 22,500,000 shares of common stock available
for general corporate purposes. The board of directors does not believe this
is
an adequate number of shares to assure that there will be sufficient shares
available for issuance in connection with possible future financings, possible
future acquisition transactions, possible future awards under employee benefit
plans, stock dividends, stock splits, and other corporate purposes. Therefore,
the board of directors has proposed the increase in authorized shares of
common
stock as a means of providing it with the flexibility to act with respect
to the
issuance of common stock or securities exercisable for, or convertible into,
common stock in circumstances which it believes will advance the interests
of
the company and its stockholders without the delay of seeking an amendment
to
the certificate of incorporation at that time.
The
increase in authorized common stock will not have any immediate effect on
the
rights of existing stockholders. However, under the laws of the State of
Delaware, authorized, unissued, and unreserved, shares may be issued for
such
consideration (not less than par value) and purposes as the board of directors
may determine without further action by the stockholders. The issuance of
such
additional shares may, under certain circumstances, result in the dilution
of
the equity or earnings per share of the existing stockholders.
The
board
of directors has no current specific plans to authorize the issuance of
additional shares of common stock, except in connection with awards under
the
Diamond Discoveries International Corp. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. In connection
with the company’s overall financing plan, from time to time, the board of
directors has considered the issuance of common stock or securities convertible
into common stock. As a result of stockholder approval of the amendment,
the
board of directors will have more flexibility to pursue opportunities to
engage
in possible future financing transactions involving common stock or securities
convertible into common stock. However, at this time, no decision to proceed
with any such transaction has been made and no determination as to the type
or
amount of securities that might be offered has been made, should a possible
future transaction be pursued.
Certain
Effects of the Amendment
The
increase in authorized shares is not being proposed as a means of preventing
or
dissuading a change in control or a takeover of the company. However, use
of
these shares for such a purpose is possible. Shares of authorized but unissued
or unreserved common stock and preferred stock, for example, could be issued
in
an effort to dilute the stock ownership and voting power of persons seeking
to
obtain control of the company or could be issued to purchasers who would
support
the board of directors in opposing a takeover proposal. In addition, the
increase in authorized shares, if approved, may have the effect of discouraging
a challenge for control or make it less likely that such a challenge, if
attempted, would be successful. The board of directors and executive officers
of
the company have no knowledge of any current effort to obtain control of
the
company or to accumulate large amounts of common stock.
Holders
of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to the
issuance of additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into
or
exercisable for common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of additional shares
of
common stock or such other securities might dilute the ownership and voting
rights of stockholders. The proposed amendment to the certificate of
incorporation does not change the terms of the common stock. The additional
shares of common stock for which authorization is sought will have the same
voting rights, the same rights to dividends and distributions, and will be
identical in all other respects to the shares of common stock now authorized.
The
amendment to the certificate of incorporation will become effective on, or
as
soon as practicable after, January 7, 2008.
Financial
Statements and Other Information.
The
information required to be disclosed by Item 13 of Secedule 14A is incorporated
by reference from the company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with SEC on
April 16, 2007.
Action
3 — Ratification of Auditors
The
holders of 198,395,122 shares of our common stock, representing 55.4% of
the
shares of our common stock entitled to vote on the record date, executed
a
written consent in lieu of an annual meeting which is effective on January
7,
2008, ratifying the Board of Directors' engagement of Rodefer Moss & Co PLLC
as the Company’s independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2007.

Preapproval
Policies
The
board
of directors, acting as the audit committee, must pre-approve all audit
and
non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure
that
the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. The
board has not designated any exclusions to this general policy or delegated
its
responsibility to any officer or director.
