NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 31, 2024, Mr. John Boreta resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Boreta’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the company. Also effective on October 31, 2024, effective immediately after the resignation of Mr. Boreta, the Board of Directors appointed James Askew as a member of the Board of Directors.

In November 2024, the Company’s management determined to cease seeking out business opportunities, mergers or acquisitions, and instead to launch an operating strategy to become a leader in the global sports entertainment and media industry. The Company’s efforts are initially focused on court sports, beginning with planned growth opportunities associated with branding and growing the pickleball and padel industries, both of which are currently experiencing significant growth. The Company expects its publicly-traded structure to provide a way for the investing public to participate in these exciting and rapidly growing markets.

Under the Subscription Agreements, the maximum amount of the Offering was $2,500,000, which amount was fully subscribed. In connection with the Offering, we sold to 23 Investors, an aggregate of 2,631,543 shares of our restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) for $0.95 per Share.
