PROXY STATEMENT


The Board of Directors of TORtec Group Corporation (the Company) is soliciting proxies to vote shares of Common Stock at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 9:00 a.m., MST, on March 20, 2021, at 6250 Partridge Way, Ammon, ID 83406, and at any adjournment thereof. A Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice of Internet Availability) containing instructions on how to access and review this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy, and how to access the proxy card to vote, is first being mailed to stockholders on or about February 8, 2021. For ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting during regular business hours at the Companys corporate office, located at the address set forth above. If you would like to review the stockholder list, please call or email our Secretary at (801) 226-1264 or at tortecgroupcorp@gmail.com to schedule an appointment or, in light of COVID-19, make other arrangements to view the list.


Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote; Quorum


The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on January 19, 2021 as the record date for the Companys stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Only holders of common stock as of the record date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 100,074,854 shares of the Companys common stock outstanding, which were held by approximately 108 holders of record. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of the Companys common stock held as of the record date.


The holders of one half of the outstanding shares of the Companys common stock issued and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or by proxy to establish a quorum for business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.


A broker non-vote occurs when you fail to provide your broker with voting instructions and the broker does not have the discretionary authority to vote your shares on a particular proposal because the proposal is not a routine matter under New York Stock Exchange rules. A broker non-vote may also occur if your broker fails to vote your shares for any reason. Brokers cannot vote on their customers behalf on non-routine proposals such as Proposals One, Three, Four, Five, and Six. Because brokers require their customers direction to vote on such non-routine matters, it is critical that stockholders provide their brokers with voting instructions. Proposal Two, ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, will be a routine matter for which your broker does not need your voting instruction in order to vote your shares.




7



Votes Required


The votes required for each proposal is as follows:


Election of Directors. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of directors. Each director will be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast for a director exceeds the number of votes cast against that director. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast with respect to the election of directors. Under Nevada law, if the director is not elected at the Annual Meeting, the director will continue to serve on the Board as a holdover director.


If you sign and submit your proxy card or voting instruction form without specifying how you would like your shares voted, your shares will be voted FOR the Boards recommendations specified below under Proposal OneElection of Directors, and in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders with respect to any other matters that may be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Should the Company lawfully identify or nominate substitute or additional nominees before the Annual Meeting, we will file supplemental proxy material that identifies such nominee(s), discloses whether such nominee(s) has (have) consented to being named in the proxy material and to serve if elected and includes the relevant required disclosures with respect to such nominee(s).


The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the nominees on the proxy card.


Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the ratification of the appointment of BF Borgers CPA PC as our independent registered public accounting firm. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter will be considered to determine the outcome of this proposal. Abstentions from voting will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. This proposal is a routine matter for which your broker does not need your voting instruction in order to vote your shares. The outcome of this proposal is advisory in nature and is non-binding.


The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of BF Borgers CPA PC, as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.


Transfer and Assignment of the Right, Title, and Interest in TORtec Group, a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company, and All Other Assets of the Company to Capital Vario, in Complete and Final Settlement of the Companys Debts Owed to Capital Vario of over $400,000, Resulting in the Company Becoming a Shell Company, within the meaning of Rule 405, promulgated pursuant to Securities Act. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote with respect to the approval of the sale of all or substantially all of the Companys assets. Pursuant to NRS 78.565, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter will be considered to determine the outcome of this proposal. Abstentions from voting will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Brokers, as nominees for the beneficial owner, may not exercise discretion in voting on this matter and may only vote on this proposal as instructed by the beneficial owner of the shares.


The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the transfer and assignment of the right, title, and interest in TORtec Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and all other assets of the Company to Capital Vario, in complete and final settlement of the Companys debts owed to Capital Vario of over $400,000, resulting in the Company becoming a shell company, within the meaning of Rule 405, promulgated pursuant to Securities Act.


Shareholder Proposals


The Company has received the following shareholder proposals:


Shareholder Proposal No. 1. On the appointment of an independent additional audit of the activities of the President Smoot and the financial officer Irina Kochetkova or assistance and verification of the SEC for the reliability of the



8



financial statements and information they provide to the SEC and for cost effectiveness, and on the subject of the condition and operability of the only asset - the mobile unit TORNADO.


Shareholder Proposal No. 2. No confidence in the president and member of the board of directors, Mr. S. Smoot, and the officer, member of the board of directors, Ms. Irina Kochetkova (Livits), due to continued incompetent actions to the detriment of our corporation, subsidiaries and shareholders and to exclude them from the board of directors with further delimitation of the functions of executive bodies and supervisory bodies of the corporation and with the introduction of the institution of independent directors.


Shareholder Proposal No. 3. Due to the fact that the executive bodies of the public corporation TRTK, President Mr. Smoot and officer Irina Kochetkova (Irina Livits) ineffectively and improperly used the only corporate asset on the balance sheet of a subsidiary of TORtec Inc. - the mobile unit TORNADO, grossly violated the license agreements with the licensor TORtec Forschungsinstitut GmbH, which led to the termination of all license agreements and the termination of the General Contract with Vortex Technologies & Engineering GmbH, as well as due to the fact that the executive body notified me in writing of its intentions to transfer somehow the only asset of the corporation to the offshore company Vario in Costa Rica, which will cause economic damage to the corporation and the value of shares.


You will be asked to vote either FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN in regards to each of the shareholder proposals.


Voting of Proxies


If you are a stockholder whose shares are registered in your name, you may vote your shares by printing, completing, signing, dating and mailing your proxy card to the Companys corporate office. You may also email your proxy card to the Companys Secretary at tortecgroupcorp@gmail.com.


The deadline for receipt of your proxy (either via mail or email) is 11:59 p.m., EST, on March 19, 2021.


If your shares are held in street name (through a broker, bank or other nominee), you may receive a separate voting instruction form with this proxy statement, or you may need to contact your broker, bank or other nominee to determine whether you will be able to vote via mail or email.


PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR SHARES ARE HELD OF RECORD BY A BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE AND YOU WISH TO VOTE AT THE MEETING, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN PERSON AT THE MEETING UNLESS YOU FIRST OBTAIN A LEGAL PROXY ISSUED IN YOUR NAME FROM THE RECORD HOLDER. PLEASE SEE FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.


The proxies identified on the proxy card will vote the shares of which you are stockholder of record in accordance with your instructions. If you sign and return your proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, the proxies will vote your shares FOR the nominated slate of directors and FOR proposals Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six. The giving of a proxy will not affect your right to vote in person if you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.


Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name or with our transfer agent, IssuerDirect, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares and the Notice of Internet Availability, containing instructions for how to access the proxy materials and a proxy card via the Internet, is being sent directly to you by us. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us.


Beneficial Holder. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of the shares held in street name, and the Notice of Internet Availability is being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote and are also invited to attend the meeting. Additionally, since you are not the stockholder of record, in order to vote these shares at the Annual Meeting you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or other nominee will provide a voting form for your use that contains instructions on how to obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee. Once you have obtained the legal proxy, you must send a copy of the legal proxy to



9



our Secretary via e-mail at tortecgroupcorp@gmail.com prior to March 20, 2021. If you should have any questions, please call our Secretary at (801) 226-1264.


How to Vote by Proxy; Revocability of Proxies


To vote by proxy, you must print, mark, sign, date, and return the proxy card to the Companys corporate office or via email at tortecgroupcorp@gmail.com. If you are a beneficial holder, you may also vote your shares using the instructions provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. Any Company stockholder who delivers a properly executed proxy may revoke the proxy at any time before it is voted.


Whether you vote by mail or email, you can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting by:


·

submitting a new proxy card bearing a later date;


·

voting again by mail or email at a later time;


·

giving written notice before the meeting to our Secretary at the address set forth on the cover of this proxy statement stating that you are revoking your proxy; or


·

attending the meeting and voting your shares in person.


Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute revocation of a proxy. A Company stockholder whose shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee must bring a legal proxy from his, her or its broker, bank or other nominee to the meeting in order to vote in person.


Deadline for Voting by Proxy


In order to be counted, votes cast by proxy must be received prior to March 20, 2021.


Solicitation of Proxies


The cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form will be borne by the Company. Proxies may be solicited by our management by mail, telephone, fax, and email. We may also make arrangements with brokerage firms, banks and other nominees to forward proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares and will reimburse such nominees for their reasonable costs.


Important Information Regarding Delivery of Proxy Material


The Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) has adopted rules regarding how companies must provide proxy materials to their stockholders. These rules are often referred to as notice and access, under which a company may select either of the following options for making proxy materials available to its stockholders:


·

the full set delivery option; or


·

the notice only option.


A company may use a single method for all of its stockholders, or use full set delivery for some while adopting the notice only option for others.


Full Set Delivery Option


Under the full set delivery option, which we have elected NOT to use for the Annual Meeting, a company delivers all proxy materials to its stockholders by mail as it would have done prior to the change in the rules. In addition to delivery of proxy materials to stockholders, the company must post all proxy materials on a publicly-accessible website and provide information to stockholders about how to access the website.




10



Notice Only Option


Under the notice only option, a company must post all proxy materials on a publicly accessible website. Instead of delivering proxy materials to its stockholders, the company instead delivers a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The notice includes, among other matters:


·

information regarding the date and time of the Annual Meeting of stockholders as well as the items to be considered at the meeting;


·

information regarding the website where the proxy materials are posted; and


·

various means by which a stockholder can request paper or e-mail copies of the proxy materials.


If a stockholder requests paper copies of the proxy materials, these materials must be sent to the stockholder within three business days and by first class mail.


In connection with its Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company has elected to use the notice only option. Accordingly, the Notice of Internet Availability will be mailed to our stockholders on or about February 8, 2021. The Notice of Internet Availability will provide instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials via the Internet and how to access the proxy card to vote by mail or email. These proxy materials include the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, proxy statement, proxy card and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company has posted these materials at HTTPS://WWW.IPROXYDIRECT.COM/TRTK. If you would like to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials, please follow the instructions that are included in the Notice of Internet Availability for requesting such materials.


Householding


The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single set of proxy materials or, as applicable, a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability. This process, which is commonly referred to as householding, potentially results in extra convenience for stockholders, cost savings for companies and conservation of paper products. We have adopted this householding procedure.


If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or other proxy materials, you may:


·

send a written request to TORtec Group Corporation, 30 N Gould St., Suite 2489, Sheridan, WY 82801 or call (801) 226-1264, if you are a stockholder of record; or


·

notify your broker, if you hold your shares in street name.


Upon receipt of your request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability to you. You may also contact Investor Relations as described above if you are receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and would like to receive only one copy in the future.


PROPOSAL ONE


ELECTION OF DIRECTORS


Our Board of Directors currently consists of five members but will contract to four members after the elections at the Annual Meeting. Each person elected as a director will continue in office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or retirement. The director nominees named in this Proxy Statement have agreed to serve as a director if elected, and we have no reason to believe that either of them will be unable to serve. In the event that before the Annual Meeting a nominee named in this Proxy Statement should become unable or unwilling to serve, the person



11



named in the proxy will vote the shares represented by any proxy received by our Board of Directors for such other person or persons as may thereafter be nominated for director by our Board of Directors.


Assuming the presence of a quorum, a director will be elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast for a director exceeds the number of votes cast against that director. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast with respect to the election of directors. Under Nevada law, if the director is not elected at the Annual Meeting, the director will continue to serve on the Board as a holdover director.


The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the election of the nominees to the Board of Directors.

Agreements Concerning Appointment of Directors


The Share Exchange Agreement dated November 22, 2017, pursuant to which TORtec Group was acquired by the Company contained the following provision as a condition to closing the acquisition: The directors of the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date shall appoint Mr. Franc Schmidt, Chairman; and up to three other representatives chosen by Mr. Schmidt; Stephen Smoot, Irina Kochetkova & Jeffery R.

On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TORtec Central Asia, a Wyoming corporation, and the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% ownership of the outstanding shares of TORtec Central Asia stock in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to Merdan Atayev who is the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia.  The Share Exchange Agreement was subject to certain terms and conditions some of which were never completed.  The Share Exchange Agreement provided that the Company would elect Merdan Atayev as a Vice President of the Company as a condition to the Closing of the proposed acquisition of TORtec Central Asia. The parties have mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement.


Composition of the Board of Directors


The Company believes that its Board as a whole should encompass a diverse range of talent, skill, experience and expertise enabling it to provide sound guidance with respect to the Companys operations and business goals. In addition to considering a candidates background and accomplishments, candidates are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board and the evolving needs of the Company. In these positions, we believe that each nominee and current director has gained experience in core management skills, such as strategic and financial planning, public company financial reporting, corporate governance, risk management, and leadership development. Our Board of Directors also believes that each nominee and current director has other key attributes that are important to an effective board: integrity and demonstrated high ethical standards; sound judgment; analytical skills; the ability to engage management and each other in a constructive and collaborative fashion; diversity of background, experience and thought; and the commitment to devote significant time and energy to service on the Board.




15



Meeting Attendance


During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the Board of Directors held no meetings. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, no director received compensation for his or her services to the Company for their role as director. The Company encourages, but does not require, directors to attend the Annual Meeting of stockholders; however, such attendance allows for direct interaction between stockholders and members of the Board of Directors.


Committees of the Board of Directors


Nominating Committee. We have not yet established a Nominating Committee, and we believe that we are able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by a Nominating Committee.


If we do establish a Nominating Committee, we will disclose this change to our procedures in recommending nominees to our Board of Directors.


Audit Committee. We have not yet established an Audit Committee.  As of the present time, the entire Board of Directors serves as our audit committee.


Compensation Committee.  We have not established a Compensation Committee or committee performing similar functions.  At the present time, Compensation Committee matters are being handles by our entire Board of Directors.


Director Independence


None of our directors are independent as determined in accordance with the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.


Board Leadership Structure


The Board of Directors believes that the Chief Executive Officer is best situated to serve as Chairman because he is the director most familiar with the Companys business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The Board believes this provides the Company with an efficient and effective leadership model. The Board believes that combining the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making and alignment on corporate strategy.


The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the Companys stockholders because it provides the appropriate balance between strategic development and independent oversight of management.


Code of Ethics


We have adopted a Code of Ethics, and it was attached as Exhibit 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.  See Part IV, Item 15.


The Board of Directors unanimously approved a Code of Ethics. This Code is a statement of the Companys high standards for ethical behavior, legal compliance and financial disclosure, and is applicable to all directors, officers, and employees. The Companys Code of Ethics is periodically reviewed by the Board of Directors. Due to the fact that our website is under construction, a copy of the Code of Ethics cannot be found our corporate website. The Code of Ethics was attached as Exhibit 14 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, should there be any changes to, or waivers from, the Companys Code of Ethics, those changes or waivers will be attached as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.




16



Stockholder Communications with the Board


The Board of Directors has implemented a process by which stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors. Any stockholder desiring to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so in writing by sending a letter addressed to the Board of Directors, c/o Secretary. The Secretary has been instructed by the Board to promptly forward any communications received to the members of the Board.


Nominations


The Board of Directors is responsible for determining the slate of director nominees for election by stockholders. All director nominees are approved by the Board prior to annual proxy material preparation and are required to stand for election by stockholders at the next annual meeting. For positions on the Board created by a directors leaving the Board prior to the expiration of his or her current term, whether due to death, resignation, or other inability to serve, the Companys Bylaws provides that a director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office.


The Board of Directors does not currently utilize the services of any third-party search firm to assist in the identification or evaluation of Board member candidates. The Board of Directors may engage a third party to provide such services in the future, as it deems necessary or appropriate at the time in question.


The Board of Directors determines the required selection criteria and qualifications of director nominees based upon the needs of the Company at the time nominees are considered. A candidate must possess the ability to apply good business judgment and be in a position to properly exercise his or her duties of loyalty and care. Candidates should also exhibit proven leadership capabilities, high integrity and experience with a high level of responsibility within his or her chosen fields, and have the ability to quickly understand complex principles. When current Board members are considered for nomination for re-election, the Board of Directors also takes into consideration their prior Board contributions, performance and meeting attendance records.


The Board of Directors strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills so that, as a group, the Board will possess the appropriate talent, skills, experience and expertise to oversee the Companys business. As part of this process, the Board evaluates how a particular candidate would strengthen and increase the diversity of the Board of Directors in terms of how that candidate may contribute to the Boards overall balance of perspectives, backgrounds, knowledge, experience, skill sets and expertise in substantive matters pertaining to the Companys business.


The Board of Directors will consider qualified candidates for possible nomination that are recommended by stockholders for the next annual meeting of shareholders. Stockholders wishing to make such a recommendation may do so by sending the required information to the Board of Directors, c/o Secretary at the address listed above. Any such nomination must comply with the advance notice provisions of, and provide all of the information required by, the Company governing documents and the requirements of the Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act.


The Board of Directors conducts a process of making a preliminary assessment of each proposed nominee based upon the resume and biographical information, an indication of the individuals willingness to serve and other background information. This information is evaluated against the criteria set forth above as well as the specific needs of the Company at that time. Based upon a preliminary assessment of the candidate(s), those who appear best suited to meet the needs of the Company may be invited to participate in a series of interviews, which are used for further evaluation. The Board of Directors uses the same process for evaluating all nominees, regardless of the original source of the information.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Transactions with Related Persons


Except as described below, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our last two fiscal years, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we or any of our subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.


On April 12, 2019, the Company, through TORtec Titan+, entered into a perpetual license for the use of certain technologies with an entity controlled by Franc Smidt who was then the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Franc Smidt. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $35,051 for the rights and will provide future royalties of 10% of the subsidiaries' net income. The Company expects to use the technology in connection with its Tornado M.


On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TORtec Central Asia, a Wyoming corporation, and the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire 100% ownership of the outstanding shares of TORtec Central Asia stock in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia, Mr. Merdan Atayev. Mr. Atayev is the President, sole director and sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia, a newly formed Wyoming corporation. The Share Exchange Agreement was subject to certain terms and conditions, including the transfer of: (a) a 99 year Lease Agreement to a new office and warehouse facility in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan (Target Land); and (b) any furniture, tools, machinery and equipment for maintenance and lifting located at the facility (Target Assets). TORtec Central Asia must first have acquired leasehold ownership to the Target Land based on a ninety-nine year lease from the government of Turkmenistan, free and clear from all mortgages, trust deeds, liens or other encumbrances, and TORtec Central Asia shall have acquired undisputed ownership of the Target Assets free and clear from all security interests, liens or other encumbrances. Although the Share Exchange Agreement was not a related party transaction at the time it was entered into, Merdan Atayev has since been appointed as a Vice President of the Company which is a condition to the Closing of the proposed acquisition.  Some of the conditions described in the agreement were never satisfied, and the parties have mutually agreed to cancel the agreement.


From time to time, Capital Vario, a shareholder of the Company, advances monies for operations. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand.  During the year ended March 31, 2020, Capital Vario advanced the Company an additional $63,700 for operations.  The advances have been reflected as "short term advances - related parties" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.    Mr. Stephen H. Smoot was an officer and former consultant to Capital Vario, but he resigned those positions more than two years ago.


Effective March 31, 2020, the Company sold some shares of its common stock together with ownership interests in its partially owned subsidiary, TORtec Nanosynthesis Corp., to various investors, some of which are related parties.  The related party transactions include the following: (a) Stephen H. Smoot paid $50,000 for 5,000 shares of the Companys common stock and a 3.333% ownership interest in TORtec Nanosynthesis Corp.; (b) the Sorensen Family Trust, dated December 3, 1994, a principal shareholder of the Company, paid $50,000 for 5,000 shares of the Companys common stock and a 3.333% ownership interest in TORtec Nanosynthesis Corp.  Asael T. Sorensen, Jr., a trustee of the trust, became a director of the Company on June 6, 2020; (c) $100,000 of the debt owed to Capital Vario was converted to 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock and a 6.666% ownership interest in TORtec Nanosynthesis Corp. and issued to Simmons Benefit Group; and (d) Sherm Smoot (a brother to Stephen H. Smoot) and his wife, Sherri, paid $15,000 for 1,500 shares of the Companys common stock and a 1.000% ownership interest in TORtec Nanosynthesis Corp.

PROPOSAL TWO


RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


BF Borgers CPA PC (BF Borgers) provided audit services to the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2020. Although stockholder ratification is not required, the Board of Directors has directed that such appointment be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the Board believes that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and its stockholders. If our stockholders do not ratify the selection of BF Borgers, the Board of Directors will take that fact into consideration, together with such other factors it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of an independent registered public accounting firm.


A representative of BF Borgers will NOT be present at the Annual Meeting.


Assuming the presence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter is necessary to ratify the appointment of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The proxy card provides a means for stockholders to vote for the ratification of the selection of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, to vote against it or to abstain from voting with respect to it. If a stockholder executes and returns a proxy, but does not specify how the shares represented by such stockholders proxy are to be voted, such shares will be voted FOR the ratification of selection of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have the same legal effect as a vote against the proposal. This proposal is a routine matter for which your broker does not need your voting instruction in order to vote your shares.


The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of BF Borgers CPA PC as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

TRANSFER AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE RIGHT, TITLE, AND INTEREST IN TORTEC GROUP, A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY, AND ALL OTHER ASSETS OF THE COMPANY TO CAPITAL VARIO, IN COMPLETE AND FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE COMPANYS DEBTS OWED TO CAPITAL VARIO OF OVER $400,000, RESULTING IN THE COMPANY BECOMING A SHELL COMPANY, WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 405, PROMULGATED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT


Background


On November 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with TORtec Group, a Wyoming corporation (TORtec) and all of the shareholders of TORtec, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TORtec. The acquisition of TORtec by the Company was successfully consummated on December 4, 2017.


Capital Vario CR S.A. (Capital Vario) was the controlling shareholder of the Company prior to the acquisition. Stephen Smoot, a director and the Companys Chief Executive Officer and President, was a former consultant and officer of Capital Vario, but resigned from his affiliation with Capital Vario prior to a $500,000 debt-to-equity conversion by Capital Vario with the Company. Mr. Smoot became the Companys Chief Executive Officer and President on September 8, 2017.


Since the acquisition, from time to time, Capital Vario, a shareholder of the Company, has advanced monies to the Company for operations. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, amounts due to Capital Vario are over $400,000.


The Company has been unable generate revenues under its current business plan due to many factors and Capital Vario and management of the Company have discussed a settlement of the amounts owed to Capital Vario which would entail assigning all ownership of the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries TORtec, a Wyoming corporation. Due to the fact that the Companys intellectual property rights to the TOR-technologies are based on agreements the parties to which are the Companys existing subsidiaries, the Company would no longer have any intellectual property rights to the TOR-technologies.


Our management is proposing this transaction primarily for financial reasons, in particular, because we require reliable generation of revenues in order to cover basic ongoing costs of SEC compliance and reporting.


We expected our subsidiaries, along with their intellectual property licenses, to provide the necessary revenues for our growth and survival. However, the TOR-technology has taken much longer than expected to develop and it is not known when or if it will be commercially viable.  At the present, we do not have the funds to continue its development and our subsidiaries are not producing revenues to cover development expenses.


Selling our subsidiaries to Capital Vario in exchange for settlement of all outstanding indebtedness will serve the further purpose of letting us go forward with a clear financial debt-free status.


Our management believes that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to enter into the proposed transaction in order to protect the financial viability of the Company and avoid the possibility of insolvency. The current favorable market for "special purpose acquisition companies appears to support that conclusion.




23



We also do not believe that the rights and obligations of our subsidiaries and the licensor of the TOR-technology will also not be compromised or affected by the transaction. In particular, we do not believe that the rights and interests of the licensor will be prejudiced or negatively affected in any way.


The transfer and assignment of the Companys ownership in its current subsidiaries would render the Company a shell company, within the meaning of Rule 405, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, and the Companys management would seek an acquisition target. See RISK FACTORS below.

RISK FACTORS


Because We Will Become a Shell Company, the Holders of Our Restricted Securities Will Not Be Able to Sell Their Securities in Reliance on Rule 144, Until We Cease Being a Shell Company, Within the Meaning of Rule 405, Promulgated Pursuant to Securities Act.


Upon the consummation of the proposed transaction with Vario Capital, we will become a shell company within the meaning of Rule 405, promulgated pursuant to Securities Act, because we have no assets and nominal operations. The consummation of this transaction will enhance the Companys reporting requirements imposed on shell companies. Another implication of the Company being a shell company is that the Company cannot file registration statements under Section 5 of the Securities Act using a Form S-8, a short form of registration to register securities issued to employees and consultants under an employee benefit plan. Additionally, applicable provisions of Rule 144 specify that during that time that the Company is a shell company and for a period of one year thereafter, holders of the Companys restricted securities cannot sell those securities in reliance on Rule 144. As result, one year after the Company ceases being a shell company, assuming the Company are current in its reporting requirements with the SEC, holders of the Companys restricted securities may then sell those securities in reliance on Rule 144 (provided, however, those holders satisfy all of the applicable requirements of that rule). Being a shell company will also negatively impact on the Companys ability to attract additional capital.


DISSENTERS RIGHT OF APPRAISAL

 

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Companys stockholders are not entitled to dissenters rights with respect to the proposed transaction with Capital Vario, and the Company will not independently provide the Companys stockholders with dissenters rights.


OTHER MATTERS


No business other than the matters set forth in this Proxy Statement is expected to come before the meeting, but should any other matters requiring a stockholders vote arise, including a question of adjourning the meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote thereon according to their best judgment in the interests of the Company. If a nominee for office of director should withdraw or otherwise become unavailable for reasons not presently known, the persons named as proxies may vote for another person in his place in what they consider the best interests of the Company.


Upon the written request of any person whose proxy is solicited hereunder, the Company will furnish without charge to such person a copy of its annual report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K, including financial statements and schedules thereto, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Such written request is to be directed to Management, 30 N. Gould St., Suite 2489, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801.
