Who is Entitled to Vote?

We have fixed the close of business on June 7, 2021 as the Record Date for shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, our annual meeting. Only holders of record of USAC’s common stock and preferred stock on that date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the annual meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of USAC common stock, Series A preferred stock, and Series C preferred stock that you own. Each holder of shares of Series D preferred stock is entitled to such number of votes as shall be equal to the whole number of shares of common stock into which such holder’s aggregate number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible immediately after the close of business on the Record Date.

anchor On the Record Date, the following shares were outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting: (1) 106,253,081 shares of common stock, (2) 177,904 shares of Series C preferred stock, and (3) 1,751,005 shares of Series D preferred stock. There are no issued or outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock and the Company’s Series B preferred stock does not have voting rights.

The Common Stock and Preferred Stock are sometimes collectively referred to in this Proxy Statement as the “Capital Stock.”

How Do I Vote at the Annual Meeting?

You have several voting options. You may vote by:

●

Completing your proxy card over the internet at the following website: http://www.iproxydirect.com/UAMY ;

●

Downloading your proxy card from http://www.iproxydirect.com/UAMY (or sending an email to Issuer Direct at [email protected] and requesting that your proxy card be emailed to you), and then completing and signing your proxy card, and faxing your proxy card to Issuer Direct at 202-521-3464, Attention: Proxy Services;

●

Downloading your proxy card from http://www.iproxydirect.com/UAMY (or sending an email to Issuer Direct at [email protected] and requesting that your proxy card be emailed to you), and then completing and signing your proxy card, and emailing your proxy card to Issuer Direct at [email protected] ;

●

Downloading your proxy card from http://www.iproxydirect.com/UAMY (or sending an email to Issuer Direct at [email protected] and requesting that your proxy card be emailed to you), and then completing and signing your proxy card, and mailing your proxy card to the attention of Proxy Services at One Glenwood Ave, Suite 1001, Raleigh, NC 27603-2582; or

●

Attending and voting at the annual meeting. To attend the annual meeting, you will need to provide your Control ID, and to vote at the annual meeting, you will need to provide your Request ID. Each of your Control ID and Request ID can be found on either (i) your proxy card (which is available to download at http://www.iproxydirect.com/UAMY or which may be obtained by sending an email to Issuer Direct at [email protected] and requesting that your proxy card be emailed to you ) or (ii) your notice of internet availability of proxy materials (which was mailed to you ) .

Proxies are solicited to provide all shareholders of record on the Record Date with an opportunity to vote on matters scheduled for the annual meeting and described in these materials. You are a shareholder of record if your shares of USAC common stock and/or preferred stock are held in your name. If you are a beneficial owner of USAC common stock or preferred stock held by a broker, bank or other nominee ( i.e. , in “street name”), please see the instructions under the following question.

Shares of USAC common stock and preferred stock can only be voted if the shareholder is present at the annual meeting, which will be held completely virtually via live audio webcast, or by proxy at the annual meeting. To ensure your representation at the annual meeting, we recommend you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You can always change your vote at the annual meeting if you are a shareholder of record.

page break

Shares of USAC common stock and preferred stock represented by properly executed proxies will be voted by the individuals named on the proxy card in accordance with the shareholder’s instructions. Where properly executed proxies are returned to us with no specific instruction as how to vote at the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote the shares "FOR" the election of each of our four named director nominees and "FOR" ratification of the selection of Assure CPA, LLC as our independent auditor for 2020 and 2021. If any other matters are properly presented at the annual meeting for action, the persons named in the enclosed proxy and acting thereunder will have the discretion to vote on these matters in accordance with their best judgment. We do not currently expect that any other matters will be properly presented for action at the annual meeting.

You may receive more than one proxy card depending on how your shares are held. For example, you may hold some of your shares individually, some jointly with your spouse, and some in trust for your children. In such case, you will receive three separate proxy cards to vote.

What if My Shares Are Held in Street Name?

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, your broker, as the record holder of the shares, is required to vote the shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker may nevertheless vote the shares with respect to discretionary items, but will not be permitted to vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary items, pursuant to current industry practice. In the case of non-discretionary items, the shares not voted will be treated as “broker non-votes.”

If your shares are held in street name, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the annual meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letter from the record holder of your shares are examples of proof of ownership. If you want to vote your shares of common stock or preferred stock held in street name in person at the annual meeting, you will have to get a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee who holds your shares.

How Many Shares Must Be Present to Hold the Meeting?

A quorum must be present at the meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the shares of USAC common stock and preferred stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting as of the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Proxies received but marked as abstentions or broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting.

What if a Quorum Is Not Present at the Meeting?

If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the meeting, either the chairperson of the meeting or a majority of the shareholders present or represented by proxy at the meeting may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present. The time and place of the adjourned meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given unless the meeting is adjourned for 60 days or more. An adjournment will have no effect on the business that may be conducted at the meeting.

Vote Required to Approve Proposal 1: Election of Directors

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the annual meeting by holders of outstanding shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Pursuant to our Bylaws and Montana law, shareholders are permitted to cumulate their votes for the election of directors. Under cumulative voting, each holder of voting stock has a number of votes that is equal to the number of shares of voting stock he or she owns multiplied by the number of directors to be elected. The holder may cast all of those votes for one nominee or distribute them among all or less than all of the nominees as the shareholder sees fit. Since four directors are to be elected at the meeting, the total votes which may be cast in the election of directors is calculated as follows:

Number of shares of voting stock owned by you x 4 (number of directors to be elected) = total votes. Shareholders may allocate their votes among the four nominees described below. Votes may be cast for or withheld from each nominee.

Vote Required to Approve Proposal 2: Ratification of the Selection of the Independent Auditor

Ratification of the selection of Assure CPA, LLC as our independent auditor for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote which are present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal.

May I Revoke My Proxy?

You may revoke your proxy before it is voted by:

●

submitting a new proxy with a later date;

●

notifying Issuer Direct in writing before the annual meeting that you have revoked your proxy by delivering such writing by email to proxy@issuerdirect. com , by fax to the attention of Proxy Services at 202-521-3464, or by mail to the attention of Proxy Services at One Glenwood Ave, Suite 1001, Raleigh, NC 27603-2582; or

●

attending and voting at the annual meeting.

If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, you must contact the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

How can I obtain a copy of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K?

The Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including financial statements, is available on the internet with this Proxy Statement at http://www.iproxydirect.com/UAMY . The Form is also available through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov .

At the written request of any shareholder who owns shares on the Record Date, the Company will provide to such shareholder, without charge, a paper copy of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, including the financial statements, but not including exhibits .

If requested, the Company will provide copies of the exhibits for a reasonable fee.

What is the current composition of the Board?

Our Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at six. Our Board of Directors currently consists of four members, with two vacancies. The Board of Directors has not nominated nominees to fill the current vacancies, and only four nominees are standing for election at the Annual Meeting. As a result, if all four nominees are elected at the Annual Meeting, there will be two vacancies.

No, the Board is not divided into classes. All directors serve one-year terms until their successors are elected and qualified at the next annual meeting.

●

Blaise Aguirre, MD

What if a nominee is unable or unwilling to serve?

All of our nominees currently serve as USAC directors. Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected. If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the Board of Directors may either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, the proxy holders will vote your shares for the substitute nominee, unless you have withheld authority. At this time, we are not aware of any reason why a nominee might be unable to serve if elected.

How are nominees elected?

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends a vote FOR each of the four named nominees.

The external auditors report directly to the Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee has the authority to terminate our external auditors’ engagement and approve in advance any services to be provided by the external auditors that are not related to the audit.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Audit Committee met four (4) times. A copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on our website at www.usantimony.com .

Audit Committee Report

Our Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. During 2020, the Committee had three (3) members, each of whom is “independent” as determined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE American. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

The Committee assists the Board by overseeing (1) the integrity of our financial reporting and internal control, (2) the independence and performance of our independent auditors, and (3) providing an avenue of communication between management, the independent auditors and the Board.

In the course of providing its oversight responsibilities regarding the 2020 financial statements, the Committee reviewed the 2020 audited financial statements, which appear in the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, with management and our independent auditors. The Committee reviewed accounting principles, practices, and judgments as well as the adequacy and clarity of the notes to the financial statements. The Committee reviewed the independence and performance of the independent auditors who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and such other matters as required to be communicated by the independent auditors in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards 61, as superseded by Statement of Auditing Standard 114—the Auditor’s Communication With Those Charged With Governance, as modified or supplemented.

The Committee meets with the independent auditors to discuss their audit plans, scope and timing on a regular basis, with or without management present. The Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for independent auditor communications with audit committees concerning independence, as may be modified or supplemented.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Compensation Committee

During 2020, we had a Compensation Committee composed of the following three (3) directors, each of whom, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, was independent (under Section 803A of the NYSE MKT Company Guide): Craig W. Thomas (Chairman) Jeffrey D. Wright, and Hartmut W. Baitis . Jeffery D. Wright resigned from the Board in January 2021, and Craig W. Thomas resigned from the Board in February 2021. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Hartmut W. Baitis and Blaise Aguirre.

We have a Compensation Committee charter that complies with the requirements of the NYSE American. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for considering and authorizing terms of employment and compensation of executive officers and providing advice on compensation structures in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our Chief Executive Officer may not be present during the voting determination or deliberations of his or her compensation; however, our Compensation Committee does consult with our Chief Executive Officer in determining and recommending the compensation of directors and other executive officers.

In addition, our Compensation Committee reviews both our overall salary objectives and significant modifications made to employee benefit plans, including those applicable to executive officers, and proposes awards of stock options, if any. The Compensation Committee has determined that the Company’s compensation policies and practices for its employees generally, not only with respect to executive officers, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Compensation Committee does not and cannot delegate its authority to determine director and executive officer compensation. Due to budgetary constraints, neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee has engaged the services of an external compensation consultant.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Compensation Committee met two (2) times. A copy of the Compensation Committee charter is available on our website at www.usantimony.com .

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

During 2020, we had a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee composed of the following three (3) directors, each of whom, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, was independent (under Section 803A of the NYSE American Company Guide): Jeffrey Wright (Chairman), Hartmut W. Baitis, and Craig W. Thomas . The charter of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee charter complies with the requirements of the NYSE American.

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for developing our approach to corporate governance issues. The Committee evaluates the qualifications of potential candidates for director positions and recommends to the Board nominees for election at the next annual meeting or any special meeting of shareholders, and any person to be considered to fill a Board vacancy resulting from death, disability, removal, resignation or an increase in Board size. The Committee has adopted a Director Nominating Process and Policy which sets forth the criteria the Board will assess in connection with the consideration of a candidate, including the candidate’s integrity, reputation, judgment, knowledge, independence, experience, accomplishments, commitment and skills, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that time. A copy of the Director Nominating Process and Policy is available on our website at www.usantimony.com .

We do not have a formal policy regarding diversity in the selection of nominees for directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does, however, consider diversity as part of its overall selection strategy. In considering diversity of the Board as a criteria for selecting nominees, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee takes into account various factors and perspectives, including differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, personal and professional skills and other individual qualities and attributes that contribute to Board heterogeneity, as well as race, gender and national origin. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee seeks persons with leadership experience in a variety of contexts. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee believes that this conceptualization of diversity is the most effective means to implement Board diversity. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will assess the effectiveness of this approach as part of its annual review of its charter.

The Committee will consider recommendations for director nominees made by shareholders and others if these individuals meet the criteria set forth in the Director Nominating Process and Policy. For consideration by the Committee, the nominating shareholder or other person must provide the Corporate Secretary’s Office with information about the nominee, including a detailed background of the suggested candidate that will demonstrate how the individual meets our director nomination criteria. If a candidate proposed by a shareholder meets the criteria, the individual will be considered on the same basis as other candidates. No shareholder or shareholders holding 5% or more of our outstanding stock, either individually or in aggregate, has recommended a nominee for election to the Board.

All of the four nominees included on the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement were nominated by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and were recommended by our current Board.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee met one (1) time. A copy of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee charter is available on our website at www.usantimony.com .

Board Leadership Structure

The Board has reviewed our current Board leadership structure in light of the composition of the Board, our size, the nature of our business, the regulatory framework under which we operate, our shareholder base, our peer group and other relevant factors. Considering these factors, we determined to have a separate Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. We determined that this structure is currently the most appropriate Board leadership structure for the Company. The Board noted the following factors in reaching its determination:

●

The Board acts efficiently and effectively under its current structure.

●

A structure of a combined Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board is in the best position to be aware of major issues facing us on a day-to-day and long-term basis, and is in the best position to identify key risks and developments facing us to be brought to the Board’s attention.

●

This structure eliminates the potential for confusion and duplication of efforts, including among employees.

●

Companies within our peer group utilize similar Board structures.

We do not have a lead independent director. Given the size of the Board, the Board believes that the presence of three independent directors, with independent directors sitting on the Board’s committees, is sufficient independent oversight even if we combine the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The independent directors work well together in the current structure and the Board does not believe that selecting a lead independent director would add significant benefits to the Board oversight role.

We currently have an Interim Chief Executive Officer who is not a director, and we do not currently have a Chairman of the Board. However, if we appoint a permanent Chief Executive Officer, our Board may choose to elect the Chief Executive Officer as a director and combine the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles.

The Board of Director’s Role in Risk Management Oversight

The understanding, identification and management of risk are essential elements for the successful management of the Company. Risk oversight begins with the Board and the Audit Committee. During 2020, the Audit Committee consisted of Craig W. Thomas (Chairman), Jeffrey D. Wright, and Blaise Aguirre , each of whom was an independent director.

The Audit Committee reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of our financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance and accounting, as well as our financial statements.

At the management level, an internal audit provides reliable and timely information to the Board and management regarding our effectiveness in identifying and appropriately controlling risks. Annually, management presents to the Audit Committee a report summarizing the review of our methods for identifying and managing risks.

Additionally, our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the risks related to succession planning and the independence of the Board. The Compensation Committee reviews the risks related to our various compensation plans.

In the event that a committee is allocated responsibility for examining and analyzing a specific risk, such committee reports on the relevant risk exposure during its regular reports to the entire Board facilitates proper risk oversight by the entire Board.

Based on a review of the nature of operations, we do not believe that any areas of the Company are incentivized to take excessive risks that would likely have a material adverse effect on our operations.

Compensation for all executive officers, except for the CEO position, is recommended to the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors by the CEO.

The Compensation Committee has identified a peer group of mining companies to aid in reviewing the President’s compensation recommendations for executives, and for reviewing the compensation of the CEO. The Board approves the compensation amounts recommended by the Compensation Committee. Currently, compensation for executive management includes only base salary and health insurance. The Company does not have annual performance-based salary increases, long-term performance-based cash incentives, deferred compensation, retirement benefits, or disability benefits.

Two executive officers, the CEO and the Executive Director of Latin America, receive restricted stock awards for their services as Board members.

Compensation Committee Discussion and Analysis

This discussion and analysis provides you with an understanding of our executive compensation philosophy, plans and practices, and gives you context for understanding and evaluating the more specific compensation information contained in the tables and related disclosures set forth above.

United States Antimony Corporation (“USAC” or the “Company”) mines and processes zeolite, antimony and precious metals. A wholly owned subsidiary, Bear River Zeolite, operates a zeolite mine and plant near Preston, Idaho. Wholly-owned subsidiaries in Mexico operate the Los Juarez antimony mine in the state of Queretaro, Mexico, a mill in Guanajuato, Mexico, and an antimony smelter in Coahuila, Mexico. The Company’s headquarters, primary smelter and refinery are located in Thompson Falls, Montana.

In analyzing executive compensation, the committee recognized the hardship and risk which the CEO, John Lawrence, and the Executive Vice Presidents, John Gustavsen and Russell Lawrence, have faced and continue to endure in working in Mexico. Employment at the management level has been static from 2013 through 2020, both in the Company and in all of its subsidiaries.

Oversight of the Executive Compensation Program

Role of the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee (“Committee”) reviews and oversees the Company’s compensation programs. The Committee recommends the compensation levels for management level officers. The Compensation Committee also makes recommendations to the Board concerning salary guidelines and reviews compensation matters concerning all other executive officer and director compensation, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based awards and grants, and the terms and conditions of employment contracts.

The Compensation Committee meets annually to consider recommendations to the Board. Typically, the CEO of the Company makes recommendations to the Committee concerning individual salary levels and other compensation for the executives based on his or her knowledge of the work requirements and their effort and success. The CEO does not make any recommendation concerning his or her own salary or compensation. The Compensation Committee balances the Company’s compensation levels with the present operational goals and objectives of the Company.

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Hartmut W. Baitis, Lloyd Joseph Bardswich, and Blaise Aguirre. The Compensation Committee did not engage a compensation consultant in either the preparation or review of this report. The Board of Directors fixes director compensation based on the Committee’s recommendations.

Role of Executive Officers

The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Committee concerning executive officers’ total compensation.

At this time, the Company does not have a qualified or non-qualified stock plan.

The Committee reviews the executive officer recommendations for compensation and exercises its discretion in amending, accepting or modifying the recommendations for compensation.

Executive Compensation Principles

The following principles assist and guide the Committee in fulfilling its responsibilities as set forth in the Compensation Committee Charter and administration of the continuing executive compensation program:

●

Compensation should be transparent so that both the Company shareholders and executives understand the executive compensation program.

●

Compensation programs should correspond with the Company’s financial interest as well as the interests of shareholders.

●

Compensation should be flexible and rational in cyclical or volatile commodity markets.

●

Compensation should account for the inherent risks in certain geographical environments.

●

Compensation should be responsive to retaining qualified, high caliber executives and management.

Executive Management receives only a base salary and health insurance. The Company does not have annual performance-based salary plans, or long-term performance-based cash incentives, deferred compensation, retirement benefits or disability benefits. Russell Lawrence, the Executive Director of Latin America, is a Board member and receives compensation in the form of restricted Company common stock for serving on the Board.

The Committee made no changes in Executive Management base salaries in 2020, and salaries have remained static from the 2016 levels, except for a decrease in the salary for the CFO. The remainder of executive salaries remain unchanged since 2016. The Committee intends to review salaries again in 2021.

page break

The Board of Directors rescinded the historical annual permitted grant of 26,000 shares of restricted common stock to the directors as of May 13, 2012. Thereafter, directors’ compensation has been limited to not exceed a value of $25,000 unless circumstances otherwise permit a different award. The Company does not have percentile projections, incentives or goals of compensation for any executive officers or directors of the Company. The Board of Directors intends to review Committee recommendations regarding any changes in compensation for the 2021 calendar year.

Market Assessments

The Committee reviews market compensation levels for the Board of Directors and Executive compensation. At the present time, the continuing development of the Mexican program requires that changes in base salary of the executives and compensation of directors will be carefully determined and on a case-by-case basis annually.

Personal Benefits for Executives

The Company does not have:

● Change in control agreements;

● Supplemental compensation policies;

● Any practices or policies regarding hedging or offsetting any decrease in the market value of registrant equity securities;

● Employment contracts;

● Separation or Severance Agreements; or

● Any other type of compensation arrangements

Board of Director Compensation Guidance

The following compensation guidance will continue until changed by the Board of Directors:

In August of 2012 the Board of Directors changed the maximum award of stock to the Directors to be not more than $25,000 per director in value unless circumstances otherwise permitted a different amount. All stock awards for John Lawrence and Russell Lawrence are included in this compensation report as part of executive salary to follow industry custom and to make the comparisons with the peer group more consistent, even though the stock was not delivered at that time.

Compensation of Independent Directors

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of the Company Directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The table lists all compensation received by the independent directors. The stock received by the executive who was also a director, Russell Lawrence, was accounted for under executive compensation.

Committee Recommendations for the Company Officers in 2021

The Company does not have an executive director compensation program. The Company has a measured compensation approach consistent with its growth. Accordingly, compensation will be reviewed annually.

The Officers’ compensation rates for 2020 were as follows:

John C. Gustavsen, Exec. VP - $100,000

Russell Lawrence, Exec Dir Latin America - $110,000

Alicia Hill - Treasurer and Controller - $50,000

The Committee recommended that the Executive Pay for 2020 continue in 2021 for John Gustavsen, Executive VP and Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Russell Lawrence, Executive Director. The Committee recommends that the Chairmanship fees for the Audit, Compensation and Governance/Nomination Committees be accepted as set forth in this report and that the Director’s stock fees shall remain without change in 2020 and 2021 in the amount of $25,000 in USAC common stock, restricted under Rule 144, for 2020 and 2021 or as circumstances otherwise permit.

Compensation Committee Report

We, as members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, have reviewed the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based upon our independent review and discussions with management, we recommend that the Board of Directors accept this report and that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis of 2020 be included in the 2021 Proxy Statement for filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 2 – RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

What am I voting on?

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee have selected Assure CPA, LLC as our independent auditor for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2021 and that selection is being submitted to shareholders for ratification. Although ratification is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Assure CPA, LLC to our shareholder for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Board will consider whether it is appropriate to select another registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of USAC and our shareholders. Assure CPA, LLC was formerly named DeCoria, Maichel & Teague P.S. and served as our independent auditor for the year ended December 31, 2020.
