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

 

On May 20, 2015, John Tostanoski, the Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of CES Synergies, Inc. (the “Company”), resigned as the Company’s President. Mr. Tostanoski did not resign as the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operation, policies (including accounting or financial policies), or practices.

 

On May 20, 2015, the Board appointed Clyde A. Biston, the Chairman of the Board, as the Company’s President.

 

Mr. Tostanoski, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, remains the Company’s principal executive officer.

 

Mr. Biston, 65, founded the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cross Environmental Services, Inc. (“CES”), in 1988 and has been its Chief Executive Officer since inception. Mr. Biston was the Chief Executive Officer of the Company from September 10, 2013 through April 7, 2015 and has been Chairman of the Board since September 10, 2013. Mr. Biston has over 40 years’ experience in the general construction and asbestos abatement industry. Prior to entering the abatement profession, he operated a building contractor business. In the nine years prior to the formation of CES, Mr. Biston personally supervised the removal of more than 2 million square feet of asbestos containing materials on projects in Florida and Georgia, as well as many large-scale demolition and remediation projects.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between Mr. Biston and any member of the Board or any executive officer of the Company.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company operates out of two facilities owned by Mr. Biston. Between June 2013 and October 2013, the Company was allowed to use the facilities rent-free. As of November 1, 2013, the Company entered into two lease agreements with Mr. Biston for rental of the facilities for an aggregate annual rent of $235,320 ($180,000 per year with respect to the Crystal Springs facilities and $55,320 per year with respect to the Zephyrhills facilities), all of which is paid to Mr. Biston directly. The lease agreements expire on November 1, 2015, but automatically renew for additional 48 month terms. The Company also pays the property taxes for use of the facilities.

 

In April 2014, CES issued an adjustable rate note in the principal amount of $2,800,000 (the “Note”) to Mr. Biston. The Note bears interest at an initial rate of 6.15% per year, subject to adjustment on May 25, 2019 and every 60 days thereafter to a rate equal to 4.5% plus the five-year Swap Rate. Interest and principal on the Note is due in 180 monthly installments of $23,994, which commenced on May 25, 2014, with the final payment due on or before April 25, 2029. At December 31, 2014, $2,721,450 was outstanding under the Note. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid $78,550 in principal and $113,402 in interest under this Note.

 

In September, 2014, the Company entered into an additional promissory note with Mr. Biston pursuant to which Mr. Biston provided the Company with a loan in the aggregate amount of $250,000. Interest on the loan accrues at a rate of 4.25% per annum, and the Company is obligated to make monthly principal and interest payments to Mr. Biston in the amount of $4,632 per month. At December 31, 2013, $118,130 was outstanding under the loan, and at December 31, 2014, $273,273 was outstanding under the loan. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid $124,882 in principal and $19,200 in interest under this loan. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid $94,857 in principal and $178,416 in interest under this loan.
