Compensation of Directors
Directors of our company who are also employees do not receive cash compensation for their services as directors or members of the committees of the Board of Directors. All directors may be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors or management committees.
Employment Agreements
None of our executive officers has an employment agreement with the Company.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDER
The following action was taken based upon the written consent of the consenting stockholder:
ACTION 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Our Bylaws provide that our Board of Directors shall consist of a number of directors determined by our Board but not more than ten. Currently, our Board of Directors has two members. Under Nevada law, the Written Consent is sufficient to elect all nominees to our Board of Directors without the vote or consent of any other shareholders of the Company. On October
14, 2008, the consenting stockholder consented in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders to elect Ryan Gibson, Anthony Caridi and Marvin Williams as directors of the Company until the next annual meeting of shareholders and their respective successors are duly elected, or until their respective death or resignation or removal.
Because holders of approximately 59.22% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock have executed a written consent in lieu of an annual meeting of stockholders, no vote or consent of any other shareholder is being, or will be, solicited in connection with the authorization of the matters set forth in the written consent. Under Nevada law and our Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, the votes represented by the holders signing the written consent are sufficient in number to elect directors and authorize the other matters set forth in the written consent, without the vote or consent of any other shareholder of the Company. Nevada statutes provide that any action that is required to be taken, or that may be taken, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of a Nevada corporation may be taken, without a meeting,
without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent, setting forth the action taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action.

(“OTCBB”). From August 2006 until December 2007, Mr. Gibson served as President and Chief Executive Officer of CanAm. From October 2005 until June 2006, Mr. Gibson served as a Director of Vocalscape Networks, Inc., whose shares of common stock are also quoted on the OTCBB. Mr. Gibson has also served as a Director of Nevstar Precious Metals, a mining company whose shares of common stock are quoted on the Pink Sheets. Mr. Gibson has over 8 years experience in international
business, mainly within Canada, the USA, and South Africa.
Anthony Caridi
, age 37, has been involved in the public markets for over 15 years. He commenced his career in the financial industry in 1992 as a broker where he was involved in raising over $200 million for various public companies. He then moved on to the public company side as the head of Corporate Development for

From August 2004 to September 2007, Mr. Caridi was Vice President of sales & marketing for Vocalscape networks, a leading VoIP technology company. From September 2007 to present, Mr. Caridi has been self-employed, working in the real estate development business. From August 2003

Prior to retirement, Mr. Williams was General Manager of Real Car Cash Inc., a British Columbia, Canada company involved in the automobile financing industry. Over the course of his career Mr. Williams has

There are no orders, judgments, or decrees of any governmental agency or administrator, or of any court of competent jurisdiction, revoking or suspending for cause any license, permit or other authority to engage in the securities business or in the sale of a particular security or temporarily or permanently restraining any of our officers or directors from
engaging in or continuing any conduct, practice or employment in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, or convicting such person of any felony or misdemeanor involving a security, or any aspect of the
securities business or of theft or of any felony. Nor are any of the officers or directors of any corporation or entity affiliated with us so enjoined.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors
Our business is managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors meets as needed to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring approval of the Board of Directors. During the fiscal year ended 2007, the Board of Directors did not hold any meetings, but took action by unanimous written consent.
The Board of Directors does not have a standing audit, compensation, nominating or governance committee.
All of our directors are independent, as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq’s listing standards.
Audit Committee
The Company does not maintain a standing Audit Committee. An audit committee typically reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the recommendations and performance of independent auditors, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent auditors, and internal
accounting and financial control policies and procedures. All members of the Board of Directors act in the capacity of and perform the duties of an audit committee. Certain stock exchanges currently require companies to adopt a formal written charter that establishes an audit committee that specifies the scope of an audit committee’s responsibilities and the means by which it carries out those responsibilities. In order to be listed on any of these exchanges, the Company will
be required to establish an audit committee.
Compensation Committee
The Company does not maintain a standing Compensation Committee. Due to the Company’s capital restraints, our early operational state and the size of our current Board of Directors making constituting and administering such a committee excessively burdensome and costly, the Board of Directors has not established a separate compensation committee. All members
of the Board of Directors must participate in a compensation award process. During fiscal 2007, no executive officer received any compensation from the Company.
Nominating Committee
The Company does not maintain a standing Nominating Committee and does not have a Nominating Committee charter. Due to the Company’s capital restraints, our early operational state and the size of our current Board of directors making constituting and administering such a committee excessively burdensome and costly, the Board of Directors has not established
a separate nominating committee. As such, members of the Board of Directors generally participate in the director nomination process. Under the rules promulgated by the SEC, the Board of Directors is, therefore, treated as a “nominating committee”.
The Board of Directors will consider qualified nominees recommended by shareholders. Shareholders desiring to make such recommendations should submit such recommendations to PlasmaTech, Inc., 777 N. Rainbow Boulevard, Suite 250, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107. Attn: Anthony Caridi. Mr. Caridi may also be reached by telephone at (702) 851-1330. The Board of Directors will
evaluate candidates properly proposed by shareholders in the same manner as all other candidates.
With respect to the nominations process, the Board of Directors does not operate under a written charter, but under resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and interviewing qualified candidates to serve on the Board of Directors, for making recommendations for nominations to fill vacancies on the Board of
Directors, and for selecting the nominees for selection by the Company’s shareholders at each annual meeting. The Board of Directors has not established specific minimum age, education, experience or skill requirements for potential directors. The Board of Directors takes into account all factors they consider
appropriate in fulfilling their responsibilities to identify and recommend individuals as director nominees. Those factors may include, without limitation, the following::
|
•
|
an individual’s business or professional experience, accomplishments, education, judgment, understanding of the business and the industry in which the Company operates, specific skills and talents, independence, time commitments, reputation, general business acumen and personal and professional integrity or
character;
|
|
•
|
the size and composition of the Board of Directors and the interaction of its members, in each case with respect to the needs of the Company and its shareholders; and
|
|
•
|
regarding any individual who has served as a director of the Company, his or her past preparation for, attendance at, and participation in meetings and other activities of the Board of Directors or its committees and his or her overall contributions to the Board of Directors and the Company.
|
The Board of Directors may use multiple sources for identifying and evaluating nominees for directors, including referrals from the Company’s current directors and management as well as input from third parties, including executive search firms retained by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will obtain background information about candidates,
which may include information from directors’ and officers’ questionnaires and background and reference checks, and will then interview qualified candidates. The Board of Directors will then determine, based on the background information and the information obtained in the interviews, whether to recommend that a candidate be nominated to the Board of Directors. We strongly encourage and, from time to time actively survey, our shareholders to recommend potential director
candidates.
Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers
None of our directors or officers or their respective associates or affiliates is indebted to us.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.
Shareholder Communications with the Company’s Board of Directors
Any shareholder wishing to send written communications to the Company’s Board of Directors may do so by sending them in care of the Corporate Secretary, at the Company’s principal executive offices. All such communications will be forwarded to the intended recipient(s).
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its
review of filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no Section 16(a) reports were filed by the Company’s officers, directors and 10% shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Code of Ethics
Due to the current formative stage of the Company’s development, it has not yet developed a written code of ethics for its directors or executive officers.
