Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

Director Independence

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, none of our directors were independent.  None of our proposed Incoming Directors are expected to be independent.  We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence established by applicable laws, rules, and listing standards, including, without limitation, the standards for independent directors established by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ National Market, and the SEC.
 
Subject to some exceptions, these standards generally provide that a director will not be independent if (a) the director is, or in the past three years has been, an employee of ours; (b) a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of ours; (c) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received more than $120,000 per year in direct compensation from us other than for service as a director (or for a family member, as a non-executive employee); (d) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed in a professional capacity by our independent public accountants, or has worked for such firm in any capacity on our audit; (e) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a company where one of our executive officers serves on the compensation committee; or (f) the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is an executive officer of a company that makes payments to, or receives payments from, us in an amount which, in any twelve-month period during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or two percent of that other company’s consolidated gross revenues.

Meetings and Committees of the Board
 
Our Board of Directors held no formal meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.  All proceedings of the Board of Directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors.  Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Bylaws of our Company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.  We do not presently have a policy regarding director attendance at meetings.
 
We do not currently have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions.  Due to the size of our Board, our Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees at this time because the functions of such committees are adequately performed by our Board of Directors.  We do not have an audit, nominating or compensation committee charter as we do not currently have such committees.  We do not have a policy for electing members to the Board.
 
After the change in the Board of Directors, it is anticipated that the Board of Directors will form separate compensation, nominating and audit committees, with the audit committee including an audit committee financial expert.
 
Audit Committee
 
Our Board of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Instead, the entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act and will continue to do so upon the appointment of the proposed directors until such time as a separate audit committee has been established.
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and stockholders holding more than 10% of our outstanding Common Stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our Common Stock.  Executive officers, directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 delivered to us as filed with the SEC during our most recent fiscal year, none of our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our Common Stock failed to timely file the reports required pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
 
Nominations to the Board of Directors
 
Our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and oversee the management of the Company.  Board of Director candidates are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of the stockholders, diversity, and personal integrity and judgment.  While we seek a diversity of experience, viewpoints and backgrounds on the Board, we have not established a formal policy regarding diversity in identifying directors.
 
In addition, directors must have time available to devote to Board activities and to enhance their knowledge in the growing business.  Accordingly, we seek to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities to the Company.
 
In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board of Directors will consider candidates suggested by stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to formally place a candidate’s name in nomination, however, such stockholder must do so in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws.  Suggestions for candidates to be evaluated by the proposed directors must be sent to the Board of Directors, c/o 4Cable TV International, Inc., Lot 7B Blk 7 Emerald St., Gold Riverville Subd. Burgos, Montalban, Rizal, the Philippines.  The Board has determined not to adopt a formal methodology for communications from stockholders.

Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight
 
Anthony Martin currently serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and sole Director.  We determined this leadership structure was appropriate for the Company due to our small size and limited operations and resources.  In accordance with the proposed Exchange, Steven K. Richey will serve as our President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director.  The proposed Incoming Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s leadership structure and modify such structure as appropriate based on the size, resources, and operations of the Company.
 
Subsequent to the Closing, it is anticipated that the Board of Directors will establish procedures to determine an appropriate role for the Board of Directors in the Company’s risk oversight function.  Our Board of Directors is exclusively involved in the general oversight of risks that could affect our Company.
 
Board Compensation
 
We have no standard arrangement to compensate directors for their services in their capacity as directors.  Directors are not paid for meetings attended.

Executive Compensation
 
No director, officer or employee of the Company received compensation during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 or 2011.
 
Security Ownership of Principal Stockholders, Directors, and Officers
 
The Company has only one class of stock outstanding, its Common Stock.  The table below sets forth the number and percentage of shares of our common stock owned as of August 13, 2013, by the following persons: (i) stockholders known to us who own 5% or more of our outstanding stock, (ii) each of our officers and Directors, and (iii) our officers and Directors as a group.  Unless otherwise indicated, each of the stockholders has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned.
