ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY; RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Information About Our Common Stock Our shares are quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “MVCO”. The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks,” as well as volume information. The trading of securities on the OTC Pink is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations for them, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated the high and low bid quotations for our common stock. These quotations represent inter-dealer quotations, without adjustment for retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not represent actual transactions. High Low Fiscal Year 2023 April 1 to June 30, 2023 $ 0.098 $ 0.098 January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023 0.051 0.036 October 1 to December 31, 2022 0.082 0.025 July 1 to September 30, 2022 0.114 0.025 Fiscal Year 2022 April 1 to June 30, 2022 $ 0.159 $ 0.070 January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022 0.170 0.098 October 1 to December 31, 2021 0.170 0.037 July 1 to September 30, 2021 0.090 0.017 On September 30, 2023, the closing price of our common stock was $0.053. Penny Stock Rules The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). A purchaser is purchasing penny stock, which limits the ability to sell the stock. Our shares constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock. 13 The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which: ● contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading; ● contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; ● contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; ● contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; ● defines significant terms in the disclosure document or the conduct of trading penny stocks; and ● contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer: ● the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; ● the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; ● the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and ● monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, shareholders may have difficulty selling their securities. Reports We will furnish annual financial statements to our shareholders, audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, and will furnish un-audited quarterly financial statements in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All financial statements and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov. Transfer Agent The Company has retained Computershare Investor Services Inc., 1500 Robert-Bourassa Blvd., 7 th Floor, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 3S8, as its transfer agent. 14 Number of Equity Security Holders As of September 30, 2023, we had 25 holders of record of our common stock. This does not include beneficial owners holding common stock in street name. As such, the number of beneficial holders of our shares could be substantially larger than the number of shareholders of record. Dividend Policy We have no current plans to pay dividends. We currently anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings, if any, for use in the development and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, and other factors that the Board, in its discretion, may deem relevant. There are no restrictions, other than applicable law, on the ability of the Board to declare and pay dividends. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities None. Repurchase of Equity Securities None.
