Section 8- Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Pursuant to a Schedule 14C Definitive Information Statement, filed with the SEC on April 20, 2020, Agritek Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) applied for a Corporate Action with FINRA to change the name of the Company on April 29, 2020. As of the date of this filing, the Corporate Action has neither been approved nor denied by FINRA, however the Company believes that the extreme delay in processing this Action has caused substantial harm to the Shareholders. Corporate Counsel for the Company has advised the Company that completing the Corporate Action by meeting the requests of FINRA would likely be an impossibility due to outstanding filings with the SEC and certain debts owed by the Company.
Due to the above, on July 22, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company voted to approve the withdrawal of the Corporate Action with FINRA. Shareholder consent was not required due to the nature of the impossibility of completing the FINRA action. Such withdrawal of the Corporate Action was sent to FINRA on July 22, 2020 and confirmation of the withdrawal was received by the Company.
