AVANGARD CAPITAL GROUP, INC FILES (8-K) Disclosing Change in Directors or Principal Officers

Edgar Online, Inc.

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

On May 22, 2013, our Board of Directors (the "Board") voted to increase the size of our board to five (5) members and appoint Eric Rayz, Robert A. Cornaglia and John A. Folino to serve as new directors. The above actions were authorized pursuant to Article II, Section 13 of our by-laws in which, in part, all board vacancies, including those caused by an increase in the number of directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors.

There is no arrangement or understanding among any of the new directors, on the one hand or any other person, on the other hand, pursuant to which a new director was appointed as a director. No new director has a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. None of the new directors have received any compensation in connection with their appointment as a director and no new director will serve on a committee of the Board.

At this time, we do not have any written employment agreement or other formal compensation agreements with our new directors. Compensation arrangements are the subject of ongoing development and we will make appropriate additional disclosures as they are further developed and formalized.

Eric Rayz (age 37). Arkady "Eric" Rayz, Esquire is a summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Temple University. As an undergraduate, Mr. Rayz was a recipient of the H. Thomas and Dorothy Willits Hallowell Scholarship and Temple University President's Scholar Award. Mr. Rayz obtained his Juris Doctorate from the James E.

Mr. Rayz served a two-year term as a Staff Attorney for Justice Sandra Schultz Newman of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and has co-authored an article entitled "Capital Sentencing: The Effect of Adding Aggravators to Death Penalty Statutes in Pennsylvania" that appeared in the University of Pittsburgh Law Review.

He is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New York, before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Judicial Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court. Since 2005, Mr. Rayz has been a co-managing member of Kalikhman & Rayz, LLC, where he advises clients on transactional and litigation matters, involving corporate governance, business financing, commercial disputes, and real estate transfers. In 2012, Mr. Rayz was appointed judge pro tempore by the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas. In the same year, Mr. Rayz received the honor of being named "Top Lawyer" by Main Line Today Magazine.
