To the stockholders of Janus Resources, Inc.:
This Information Statement is being furnished on or about [•], 2013, by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Janus Resource, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), to the holders of record of our issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the close of business on November 26, 2013 (the “Record Date”), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The purpose of this Information Statement is to inform holders of Common Stock that on November 15, 2013, Kalen Capital Corporation, a private company and a stockholder owning a majority of our issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Majority Stockholder”), executed a written consent (the “Stockholder Consent”) and on November 19, 2013, the Board executed a written consent (the “Board Consent”) approving the following actions (the Stockholder Consent and Board Consent may hereinafter be referred to collectively as the “Written Consents”):

Information Statement
Pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
And Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C Thereunder
This Information Statement is being first mailed on or about [•], 2013, to our stockholders of record as of the Record Date by the Board to provide material information regarding corporate actions that have been approved by the Written Consents.
Only one Information Statement is being delivered to two or more stockholders who share an address unless we have received contrary instruction from one or more of such stockholders. We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Information Statement to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered. If you would like to request additional copies of this Information Statement, or if in the future you would like to receive multiple copies of information statements or proxy statements, or annual reports, or, if you are currently receiving multiple copies of these documents and would, in the future, like to receive only a single copy, please so instruct us by writing to the corporate secretary at our executive offices at the address specified above.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE OR A PROXY
STATEMENT, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED TO INFORM
YOU OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF OUR ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION, THE SHARE INCREASE AND OTHER ACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by us. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them.
AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER
Under the NRS and our Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that will be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing. The approval of the Certificate of Amendment and Certificate of Change require the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each of the Stockholder Consent and Board Consent constitute the only authorization that we require to undertake the actions described herein.
On the Record Date, we had 66,575,122 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER
On November 15, 2013, the Majority Stockholder executed the Stockholder Consent. As of the date of the Stockholder Consent, the Majority Stockholder was the record holder of 32,064,8001 shares of Common Stock, making up approximately 50.8% of our then issued and outstanding shares. Accordingly, we have obtained all necessary stockholder approval in connection with the:
|
4.
|
Directors Appointments;
|
|
5.
|
Ratification of the 2013 Plan and the issuance of stock options pursuant to the 2013 Plan; and
|
|
6.
|
Ratification of the selection of Peterson Sullivan, LLP, as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
|
We are not seeking proxies or consents from any other stockholders, and the other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the actions described in this Information Statement. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising stockholders of the action taken by written consent and giving Stockholders notice of such actions taken as required by the Exchange Act.
ACTION I: THE FOSTUNG SALE
In February 2013, we divested ourselves of our oil and gas properties and on July 12, 2013, we, together with our wholly owned subsidiary, Janus Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“JAC”), entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which JAC purchased the rights to an organ regeneration technology (the “Regeneration Technology”). We plan to further the development of the Regeneration Technology and, if commercially viable, bring the product to market for use in a variety of applications.
As a result of the acquisition of the Regeneration Technology, on July 29, 2013, the Board approved the disposition of our Fostung Property. Pursuant to the Stockholder Consent, the Majority Stockholder approved the Fostung Sale on such terms and conditions as the Company’s officers deem appropriate.
Purpose of the Fostung Sale
The Board determined that the best way to enhance the success and maximize our stockholder value over the long term is to enable us to focus on the further research, development and, if commercially viable, commercialization of products based upon our recently acquired Regeneration Technology. In order to do so, the Board and Majority Stockholder have approved the sale of the Fostung Property. We are currently in the process of locating a potential buyer for the Fostung Property, but as of the date of this Information Statement we have not yet located a buyer nor have the terms of a sale been finalized.
______________
1 On November 29, 2013, we entered into a subscription agreement with the Majority Shareholder pursuant to which we sold to the Majority Shareholder 3,500,000 units of our equity securities (the “Units”) at a purchase price of $0.43 per Unit, $1,505,000 in the aggregate. Each Unit consisted of (a) one share of Common Stock; (b) one Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrant; and (c) one Series C Common Stock Purchase Warrant. Accordingly, as of the Record Date the Majority Shareholder was the beneficial owner of 42,564,800 of Common Stock. See “SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT” below for additional information regarding the Majority Shareholder’s ownership of our Common Stock.
ACTION II: AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT THE NAME CHANGE
The Board has determined that since we are changing our primary business from a natural resources exploration company to developing and, if warranted, commercializing organ regeneration products based upon our recently acquired Regeneration Technology, the Name Change is appropriate so that our name better reflects the nature of our business.
Purpose of the Name Change
We have been operating under the name Janus Resources, Inc., which reflects our prior business as a natural resources exploration company. The Majority Stockholder and the Board believe that the Name Change is appropriate so that our name better reflects the nature of our current and anticipated operations. On November 15, 2013, our Board received the Stockholder Consent authorizing the Board to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to RenovaCare, Inc. and on November 19, 2013, the Board authorized the Name Change.
Certificate of Amendment
We will file a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada in order to effect the Name Change on a date no earlier than twenty (20) days following the mailing of this Information Statement. The Name Change will become effective upon our filing the Certificate of Amendment and our receipt of approval of the Name Change from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
In connection with the Name Change we anticipate that our symbol will be changed from JANI to such other symbol as we request and FINRA approves and we will obtain a new CUSIP number for our Common Stock.
ACTION III: AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES
The Board has determined that since we are changing our primary business we may require additional authorized shares of Common Stock to finance our continued operations or for use in any future acquisitions.
Purpose of the Share Increase
The increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock will enable us, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares of Common Stock from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as fulfilling current obligations, raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions (if appropriate), stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes. Having such additional authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance in the future should give us greater flexibility with respect to future actions involving the issuance of stock. The Board does not intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of Common Stock unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law or any applicable stock market or exchange requirements.
We are currently authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which we currently have 66,575,122 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 133,424,878 available for issuance. Additionally, we have options and warrants outstanding which are exercisable for up to an additional 8,260,000 shares of Common Stock, which have been reserved for such issuances. In addition to having enough shares available to fulfill its current obligations, the Board would like the flexibility of having additional shares available for issuance in order to allow it to issue stock in lieu of cash for acquisitions, thus allowing it to preserve cash. Our Board believes that the increase will allow it to take advantage of market conditions and favorable opportunities without the delay and expense associated with holding a special meeting of stockholders. Other than for shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, at the present time, the Board has no binding plan or agreement with respect to the future issuance of shares of Common Stock, with respect to any acquisition or otherwise.
Effects of the Share Increase
The increase in our authorized Common Stock will allow the Board to issue shares without further action or vote by our stockholders, including for acquisitions of other businesses or assets and capital-raising purposes. The issuance in the future of such additional authorized shares may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights, of existing holders of our common stock. Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the amount of shares issued. It may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
The table below shows the cumulative effect of the Increase on our Common Stock outstanding at December 5, 2013 (as well as the number of shares of preferred stock that are and will be available for issuance both before and after the Share Increase).

Anti-Takeover Effects
Issuance of additional Common Stock may have the effect of deterring or thwarting persons seeking to take control of us through a tender offer, proxy fight or otherwise or to bring about removal of incumbent management or a corporate transaction such as a merger. The Share Increase would permit us to issue additional shares of Common Stock that could dilute the ownership of the holders of our Common Stock by one or more persons seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination between us and another company. When, in the judgment of the Board, this action will be in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company, such shares could be used to create voting or other impediments or to discourage persons seeking to gain control of us. Such shares also could be privately placed with purchasers favorable to the Board in opposing such action. The existence of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock could have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. The issuance of new shares also could be used to entrench current management or deter an attempt to replace the Board by diluting the number or rights of shares held by individuals seeking to control us by obtaining a certain number of seats on the Board. The issuance of shares to certain persons allied with management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of those seeking to cause such removal. The Share Increase is not being undertaken in response to any effort of which the Board is aware to enable anyone to accumulate shares of our common stock or gain control of us or our common stock. The purpose of the Share Increase is to provide us with additional shares of Common Stock to meet current obligations and for acquisitions and other matters and not to provide any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on our behalf.
Other than the Share Increase, the Board does not currently contemplate the adoption of any other amendments to the Articles of Incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the holders of our voting control. While it is possible that our management could use the additional authorized shares of Common Stock or our preferred stock to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders, we have no intent, plans or proposals to use the unissued authorized shares of Common Stock or our preferred stock as an anti-takeover mechanism or to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have anti-takeover consequences.
While the Share Increase may have anti-takeover ramifications, the Board believes that the financial flexibility offered by such corporate actions will outweigh the disadvantages. To the extent that these corporate actions may have anti-takeover effects, third parties seeking to acquire us may be encouraged to negotiate directly with the Board, enabling us to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves all of our stockholders’ interests.
ACTION IV: DIRECTORS APPOINTMENTS
Pursuant to the Stockholder Consent, the Majority Stockholder approved the appointment of each of Kenneth Kirkland and Joseph Sierchio as directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and have qualified or their earlier resignation.
ACTION V: RATIFICATION OF THE 2013 PLAN AND ISSUANCE OF STOCK OPTIONS
In April 2011, our 2001 Incentive Stock Option Plan expired by its terms and no new stock options could be granted thereunder. The Board and the Majority of Stockholder have determined that, in order to be able to provide incentive to management, directors and certain consultants, it is in the best interests of our stockholders that the 2013 Plan be approved and adopted.
In order to attract and hire key technical personnel and management as we grow, it will be necessary to offer option packages in order for us to compete effectively with other companies seeking the support of these highly qualified individuals.
As a result, the Board has recommended that we authorize an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares to be reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Approval Of The Board and Majority Stockholder
On June 20, 2013, the Board adopted our 2013 Plan and by executing the Stockholder Consent the Majority Stockholder approved adoption of the 2013 Plan on November 15, 2013.
THE 2013 PLAN
In order to be authorized to grant incentive stock options that qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), it is necessary that such a plan receive and obtain stockholder approval. The essential features of the 2013 Plan are outlined below:
The description of the 2013 Plan contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2013 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2013. (See “WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION,” below).
The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of (1) both incentive and non-statutory stock options, (2) stock bonuses, (3) rights to purchase restricted stock and (4) stock appreciation rights (collectively, “Stock Awards”). Incentive stock options granted under the 2013 Plan are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Non-statutory stock options granted under the 2013 Plan are intended not to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code. See “Federal Income Tax Information” for a discussion of the tax treatment of Stock Awards.
The 2013 Plan is administered by the Board, or a committee that the Board may designate to administer the 2013 Plan. The Board has the power to construe and interpret the 2013 Plan and, subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan, to determine the persons to whom and the dates on which Stock Awards will be granted; whether a Stock Award will be an incentive stock option, a non-statutory stock option, a stock bonus, a right to purchase restricted stock, a stock appreciation right or a combination of the foregoing; the provisions of each Stock Award granted (which need not be identical), including the time or times when a person shall be permitted to receive stock pursuant to a Stock Award; whether a person shall be permitted to receive stock upon exercise of an independent stock appreciation right; and the number of shares with respect to which a Stock Award shall be granted to each such person. The Board is authorized to delegate administration of the 2013 Plan to a committee of the Board.
Incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights related to incentive stock options may be granted under the 2013 Plan only to selected employees (including officers and directors who are employees) of ours and our affiliates. Selected employees, non-employee directors and consultants are eligible to receive Stock Awards other than incentive stock options and such stock appreciation rights under the 2013 Plan. Non-employee directors are eligible only for non-statutory stock options. No incentive stock option may be granted under the 2013 Plan to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns (or is deemed to own) stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company or any affiliate of ours, unless the incentive stock option exercise price is at least 110%of the fair market value of the stock subject to the incentive stock option on the date of grant, and the term of the option does not exceed five years from the date of grant. For incentive stock options granted under the 2013 Plan, the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which such options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its affiliates) may not exceed $100,000. Non-employee directors are eligible only for non-statutory stock options.
If any Stock Award granted under the 2013 Plan expires or otherwise terminates without being exercised, the Common Stock not purchased pursuant to such Stock Awards again becomes available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.
The following is a description of the permissible terms of options under the 2013 Plan. Individual option grants may be more restrictive as to any or all of the permissible terms described below.
Exercise Price; Payment
The exercise price of incentive stock options under the 2013 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of the option grant, and in some cases may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise price of non-statutory options under the 2013 Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of the option grant. The exercise price of options granted under the 2013 Plan must be paid either: (a) in cash at the time the option is exercised; or (b) at the discretion of the Board, (i) by delivery of other Common Stock (i.e. “cashless exercise”), (ii) pursuant to a deferred payment arrangement or (c) in any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Board.
Option Exercise
Options granted under the 2013 Plan may become exercisable (“vest”) in cumulative increments as determined by the Board. Shares covered by options granted in the future under the 2013 Plan may be subject to different vesting terms. The Board has the power to accelerate the time during which an option may be exercised. To the extent provided by the terms of an option, an optionee may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise of such option by a cash payment upon exercise, by authorizing us to withhold a portion of the stock otherwise issuable to the optionee, by delivering already-owned stock of the Company or by a combination of these means.
Term
The maximum term of options under the 2013 Plan is ten years. The 2013 Plan will terminate on June 20, 2023, but Stock Awards granted before that date will continue to be effective in accordance with their terms and conditions.
The following is a description of the permissible terms of stock bonuses and restricted stock purchase agreements under the 2013 Plan. The terms and conditions of stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each stock bonus or restricted stock purchase agreement includes the substance of each of the following provisions as appropriate:
Purchase Price
The purchase price under each restricted stock purchase agreement is such amount as the Board may determine and designate in such agreement, but in no event may the purchase price be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the stock’s fair market value on the date such award is made.
Consideration
The purchase price of stock acquired pursuant to a stock purchase agreement must be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of purchase; (ii) at the discretion of the Board or the Committee, according to a deferred payment or other arrangement with the person to whom the stock is sold; or (iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its discretion.
In addition to approving the 2013 Plan, the Stockholder Consent approved the following stock options grants that had been previously issued by the Board.

ACTION VI: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR AND REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNT
The Board has previously selected Peterson Sullivan, LLP (“Peterson Sullivan”) to serve as our independent auditor and registered public accountants and in the Stockholder Consent the choice of Peterson Sullivan to serve in the same capacity for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 was ratified.
Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of Peterson Sullivan as our independent auditor and registered public accountants. Even though the selection has been ratified, the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered public accountants at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The Board selected Peterson Sullivan as the independent auditor and registered public accountants to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. To the knowledge of management, neither such firm nor any of its members has any direct or material indirect financial interest in the Company or any connection with the Company in any capacity otherwise than as independent accountants. We do not currently have an audit committee.

CONSIDERATION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
Director Qualifications
We believe that the Board, to the extent that our limited resources permit, should encompass a diverse range of talent, skill and expertise sufficient to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to our operations and interests. Each director also is expected to: exhibit high standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; use his or her skills and experiences to provide independent oversight to the business of ours; participate in a constructive and collegial manner; be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively; devote the time and effort necessary to learn our business; and represent the long-term interests of all stockholders.
The Board has determined that the Board as a whole must have the right diversity, mix of characteristics and skills for the optimal functioning of the Board in its oversight of ours. The Board believes it should be comprised of persons with skills in areas such as: finance; real estate; banking; strategic planning; human resources and diversity; leadership of business organizations; and legal matters. The Board may also consider in its assessment of the Board’s diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity.
In addition to the targeted skill areas, the Board looks for a strong record of achievement in key knowledge areas that it believes are critical for directors to add value to the Board, including:
|
·
|
Strategy – knowledge of our business model, the formulation of corporate strategies, knowledge of key competitors and markets;
|
|
·
|
Leadership – skills in coaching and working with senior executives and the ability to assist the Chief Executive Officer;
|
|
·
|
Organizational Issues – understanding of strategy implementation, change management processes, group effectiveness and organizational design;
|
|
·
|
Relationships – understanding how to interact with investors, accountants, attorneys, management companies, analysts, and communities in which we operate;
|
|
·
|
Functional Matter – understanding of finance and accounting, financial statements and auditing procedures, technical expertise, legal issues, information technology and marketing; and
|
|
·
|
Ethics – the ability to identify and raise key ethical issues concerning the activities of ours and senior management as they affect the business community and society.
|
Nomination Procedures
We have no nominating committee, and all nominating functions are handled directly by the full Board, which the Board believes is the most effective and efficient approach, based on the size of the Board and our current and anticipated operations and needs. As outlined above in selecting a qualified nominee, the Board considers such factors as it deems appropriate which may include: the current composition of the Board; the range of talents of the nominee that would best complement those already represented on the Board; the extent to which the nominee would diversify the Board; the nominee’s standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; and the need for specialized expertise. Applying these criteria, the Board considers candidates for Board membership suggested by its members, as well as management and Stockholders. Stockholders of record may nominate directors in accordance with our Bylaws which require among other items notice sent to the our Secretary not less than 60 days prior to a Stockholder meeting that will include the election of board members. No nominations other than those made by the Board were received for the Annual Stockholder Meeting.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, including its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, which complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and FINRA listing standards. Accordingly, the Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing, and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, timely, accurate and clear public disclosures, compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, and accountability.
Corporate Governance
We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to the Board.
Director Independence
Our securities are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, is not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. However, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Board has determined that Dr. Kirkland is independent from our management and qualifies as an “Independent Director” under the standards of independence under the applicable FINRA listing standards. This means that, in the judgment of the Board, Dr. Kirkland (1) is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, or (2) has not had any direct or indirect relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Upon our listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, we will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.
Certain Relationships
There are no family relationships among or between any of our officers and directors.
Our proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors of other companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.
In determining whether we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. We are not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.
Compliance with Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance, of the Exchange Act of 1934
Based on information provided to us, it is believed that all of our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of Common Stock were in compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Legal Proceedings
During the past five years none of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been:
|
·
|
the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
|
|
·
|
convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
|
|

(iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity.
|
·
|
any federal or state judicial or administrative proceedings based on violations of federal or state securities, commodities, banking or insurance laws and regulations, or any settlement to such actions (excluding settlements between private parties); and
|
|
·
|
any disciplinary sanctions or orders imposed by a stock, commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization.
|
Compensation of Directors
We do not pay director compensation to directors who are also our employees. The Board determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:
|
·
|
Compensation should consist of a combination of cash and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required for a company of our size and scope;
|
|
·
|
Compensation should align the directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and
|
|
·
|
Compensation should assist with attracting and retaining qualified directors.
|
Effective as of August 1, 2013, non-employee directors receive $1,500 per quarter ($6,000 per year) for their service as director. Directors are entitled to participate in the 2013 Plan and, effective as of August 1, 2013, all non-employee directors were issued a stock option to purchase up to 20,000 shares of Common Stock (see, “SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT,” below). We also reimburse our directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend Board meetings.
The table below outlines director compensation to directors for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The Board believes full and open communication between it and management is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Members of the Board meet regularly with our Chief Executive Officer to discuss strategy and risks facing us. Our Chief Executive Officer attends the quarterly board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the board on risk management-related and any other matters. Our Chief Executive Officer is also asked to contribute to the agenda for these meetings, so that each functional division of the Company can identify topics that may require board attention. Our Chief Executive Officer presents to the Board on strategic matters involving our operations and strategic initiatives and discusses with the Board key strategies, challenges, risks, and opportunities for the Company.
Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, is responsible for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board monitors whether the risk management processes that management has designed and implemented are effective both as designed and as executed.
Communications with the Board
Stockholders and other interested persons may send communications to the Board, including to any of our non-management directors, by writing to them at Janus Resources, Inc., 430 Park Avenue, Suite 702, New York, New York, 10022, Attention: President and Chief Executive Officer. The President and Chief Executive Officer will distribute all stockholder communications to the intended recipients.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS
We do not currently have any standing committees of the Board and, accordingly, there are no formal committee charters. The full Board is responsible for performing the functions of the: (i) Audit Committee, (ii) Compensation Committee and (iii) Nominating Committee. We do not have a policy requiring director attendance at stockholder meetings, but members of the Board are encouraged to attend.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR SECURITIES
General
We are currently authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share.
As of the Record Date, a total of 66,575,122 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding; no shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding issued and outstanding capital stock is, and will be, fully paid and non-assessable.
Common Stock
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any shares of preferred stock that may be outstanding from time to time, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally available therefore. In the event we liquidate, dissolves or wind ups, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, or subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All the outstanding shares of common stock are, and all shares of common stock to be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
The Board has the ability to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, without stockholder approval. The Board may designate for the series:
|
·
|
the number of shares and name of the series,
|
|
·
|
the voting powers of the series, including the right to elect directors, if any,
|
|
·
|
the dividend rights and preferences, if any,
|
|
·
|
redemption terms, if any,
|
|
·
|
liquidation preferences and the amounts payable on liquidation or dissolution, and
|
|
·
|
the terms upon which such series may be converted into any other series or class of our stock, including the Common Stock and any other terms that are not prohibited by law.
|
It is impossible to state the actual effect it will have on common stock holders if the Board designates a new series of preferred stock. The effects of such a designation will not be determinable until the rights accompanying the series have been designated. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power, liquidation rights or other rights held by owners of common stock or other series of preferred stock. The Board’s authority to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company, and could discourage any such attempt. We have no present plans to issue any additional shares of preferred stock.
Options and Warrants
As of the Record Date we had the following options and warrants outstanding: (a) options to purchase up to 40,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.65 issued to our directors (20,000 to each director), of which 20,000 have vested; (b) Series A Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series A Warrant”) exercisable for up to 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock vesting in five equal annual installments at an exercise price of $0.35 per share exercisable through July 11, 2019, subject to the holder meeting certain milestone requirements; as of the Record Date none of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrant have vested; (c) Series B Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) exercisable for up to 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.43 per share if exercised within the first eighteen months and $0.46 if exercised after eighteen months and prior to its expiration on November 29, 2018; and (d) Series B Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Series C Warrant”) exercisable for up to 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.43 per share if exercised within the first eighteen months and $0.49 if exercised after eighteen months and prior to its expiration on November 29, 2018. Each of the Series A Warrant, the Series B Warrant and the Series C Warrant may be exercised on a “cashless basis” using the formula set forth in the respective warrant.
