Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

 

Effective on November 3, 2017, Michael Chavez, who until the date of his resignation, as described in Item 5.02, below, was the sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President of Reliant Holdings, Inc. (the “ Company ”, “ we ” and “ us ”), entered into a Voting Agreement with Elijah May, our Chief Operating Officer (COO), and subsequent to the appointments described in Item 5.02, below, our sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President as well as our COO (the “ Voting Agreement ”), resulting in a change in control of the Company.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Mr. Chavez provided complete authority to Mr. May to vote the 4,000,000 shares of common stock which Mr. Chavez then held (and any other securities of the Company obtained by Mr. Chavez in the future) at any and all meetings of shareholders of the Company and via any written consents. Those 4,000,000 shares represent 27.4% of the Company’s common stock as of the parties’ entry into the Voting Agreement and together with the 4,500,000 shares held by Mr. May prior to the parties’ entry into the Voting Agreement, constitute 58.3% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of common stock. The Voting Agreement has a term of ten years, through November 3, 2027, but can be terminated at any time by Mr. May and terminates automatically upon the death of Mr. May. In connection with his entry into the Voting Agreement, Mr. Chavez provided Mr. May an irrevocable voting proxy to vote the shares covered by the Voting Agreement. Additionally, during the term of such agreement, Mr. Chavez agreed not to transfer the shares covered by the Voting Agreement except pursuant to certain limited exceptions. Due to the Voting Agreement, Mr. May holds voting control over the Company due to his ability to vote 58.3% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of voting stock.

Other than as described above, the Company is not aware of any arrangements, including any pledge by any person of securities of the Company or any of its parents, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

The description of the Voting Agreement above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Voting Agreement, filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference in this Item 5.01.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. 

Effective on November 3, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of Reliant Pools Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, each then consisting solely of Mr. Chavez, increased the number of members of the Board of Directors of each company from one to two and appointed Mr. May as a member of the Board of Directors of each company to fill the vacancy created by such vacancy. 

Thereafter the Board of Directors of the Company and of Reliant Pools Inc. appointed Mr. May, age 39, as the Chief Executive Officer and President of each company and concurrent therewith, Mr. Chavez resigned as a member of the Board of Directors and as the Chief Executive Officer and President of both the Company and of Reliant Pools Inc.

Mr. Chavez’s resignation was not in connection with a disagreement with the Company or in connection with any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Mr. May’s biographical information can be found in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (Amendment No. 6), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2017, under the heading “ Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance ”.

ARTICLE I.
SHARES AND VOTING PROXY

 

1.1.        The Shares . Any interest or other voting securities, or the voting rights relating thereto, of the Company, that may be owned, held or subsequently acquired in any manner, legally or beneficially, directly or indirectly, of record or otherwise, by the Shareholder, other than the Shares, at any time during the term of this Agreement as (a) a result of the ownership of the Shares whether issued incident to any split, dividend, conversion, increase in capitalization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other transaction; and (b) any additional voting shares or other voting securities of the Company, or the voting rights relating thereto, that may be owned, held or subsequently acquired in any manner, legally or beneficially, directly or indirectly, of record or otherwise, by the Shareholder from time to time during the Term of this Agreement; shall be included within the term “ Shares ” as used herein and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

1.2.1       Shareholder, by its entry into this Agreement, hereby constitutes and appoints May, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, during and for the Term, as Shareholder’s true and lawful attorney and irrevocable proxy, for and in the Shareholder’s name, place and stead, to vote or act by written consent with respect to the Shares owned or held by Shareholder as Shareholder’s proxy, and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of Shareholder, in all proceedings in which the vote or written consent of the Shareholder may be required or authorized by law during the Term (including, but not limited to actual meetings of the shareholders of the Company and written consents to action) regardless of whether such Shareholder actually attends any applicable meeting or signs any applicable consent, or not (the “ Proxy ”). Shareholder intends the foregoing Proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest during the Term.

1.2.2        The proxy and power granted by such Shareholder pursuant to this Section 1.2 are coupled with an interest. The proxy and power will be irrevocable for the Term hereof, and the vote (or action by written consent) of May (or his assigns), in his capacity as proxyholder, shall control in any conflict between the vote (or action by written consent) of May (or his assigns), in his capacity as proxyholder, with respect to Shareholder’s Shares and the vote (or action by written consent) of each such Shareholder with respect to Shareholder’s Shares.

 

1.2.3        Shareholder agrees that, except as required under the Company’s organizational documents, as soon as reasonably practicable prior to (i) any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, and (ii) the requested execution of any written consent of the shareholders of the Company, Shareholder shall notify May in writing of such meeting or written consent and, in the case of a meeting, deliver to May any proxy card received by Shareholder relating thereto. May agrees that he shall exercise his duty as proxyholder in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.2 .

 

1.2.4        Shareholder hereby agrees that, except for this Agreement, Shareholder (i) has not entered into, and shall not enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement or voting trust with respect to any Shares and (ii) has not granted, and shall not grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy, consent or power of attorney with respect to any Shares, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), that would prevent the Shareholder’s compliance with this Agreement.

 

1.3.        Termination . The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the death of May; (b) the written consent of May; or (c) November 3, 2027, unless the term hereof is extended with the mutual consent of the parties (the “ Term ”).

 

1.4.        Reservation of Rights . All other rights and privileges of ownership of the Shares shall be reserved to and retained by Shareholder, except to the extent expressly set forth herein.

Any Transfer not in accordance with this Section 2.1 shall be deemed to constitute a Transfer by Shareholder in violation of this Agreement, shall be void ab initio , and the Company shall not recognize any such Transfer.

ARTICLE III.
REASONABLE EFFORTS TO COOPERATE.

 

3.1.        Shareholder shall, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice by May, without further consideration, promptly provide any customary information reasonably requested by May that is necessary for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including filings with any governmental authority).

 

3.2.        Shareholder hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in any documents or communications provided by May or the Company to any governmental authority or to the Company’s security holders of Shareholder’s identity and beneficial and record ownership of the Shares and the nature of Shareholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement.

Furthermore, upon any judicial or other inquiry or investigation of or concerning May’s acts pursuant to his rights and powers as a proxyholder, such acts shall be deemed reasonable and in the best interests of the Shareholder unless proved to the contrary by clear and convincing evidence.

4.3.        Notices . All notices, approvals, consents, requests, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) by personal delivery, or (ii) by national overnight courier service, or (iii) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or (iv) via facsimile transmission, with confirmed receipt, or (v) via email.

4.4.        Counterparts . This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “ Electronic Delivery ”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party, each other party shall re execute the original form of this Agreement and deliver such form to all other parties. No party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

4.7.        Authority to Enter Into Agreement .

Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto and thereto, this Agreement constitutes, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the parties enforceable against each party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.

 

4.8.        Third-Party Beneficiary . Except for the Company’s rights hereunder to reject a Transfer not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person, firm, corporation or other entity other than the parties hereto any remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any terms or conditions hereof, and all of the terms, conditions, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and the Company, as applicable.

 

4.9.        Governing Law .

4.12.      Severability . If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy by a court of competent jurisdiction, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

 

4.13.      Waiver and Amendment . No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed in the case of an amendment, by May and the Shareholder. No failure on the part of a party hereto to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

4.14.      Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.15.      Specific Performance . The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas or any Texas State Court sitting in Austin, Texas, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. The parties agree that they shall not object to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at law.

4.19.      Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc . In the event of any issuance of shares of the Company’s voting securities hereafter to Shareholder (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction), such shares shall become subject to this Agreement and shall be endorsed with the legend set forth above. Wherever in this Agreement (or the Proxy) there is a reference to a specific number of Shares of the equity securities of the Company, then, upon the occurrence of any of foregoing events, the specific number of Shares so referenced in this Agreement (or the Proxy) shall automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such class or series of stock by such event.
