WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

 YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to our stockholders on behalf of our board of directors pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purpose of informing our stockholders of amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), to 1,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.00001 per share. This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of record of our Common Stock, on the record date as determined by our board of directors to be the close of business on February 1, 2016.

 

Our board of directors approved by written consent the amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized Common Stock from 250,000,000 shares to 1,500,000,000 shares on September 15, 2015, and the Company also received on September 15, 2015 the written consent from a stockholder of our Company who is the beneficial owner of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, both of which consents authorized management to file for an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock that was less than the maximum of 5,000,000,000 shares authorized in the consents if management determined that the full number of shares authorized was not required. Upon the expiration of the 20 day period required by Rule 14c-2 and in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our Company intends to file a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the amendment to increase our authorized Common Stock. The Certificate of Amendment will not be filed until at least 20 days after we file the Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and deliver the Information Statement to our stockholders of record.

 

The proposed Certificate of Amendment, attached hereto as Exhibit A, will become effective when it has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. We anticipate that our Company will file the Certificate of Amendment 20 days after the Definitive Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.

 

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by our Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our Common Stock held on the record date.

 

Our board of directors has fixed the close of business on February 1, 2016, as the record date for determining the holders of our Common Stock who are entitled to receive this Information Statement. As of February 1, 2016, there were 209,843,447 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. We anticipate that this Information Statement will be mailed on or about February 5, 2016, to our stockholders of record.

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE OR A PROXY, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED TO INFORM YOU OF THE AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.

AMENDMENTS TO OUR COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

Increase in Authorized Common Stock

 

As of the record date, there were 209,843,447 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, in the capital of our Company. Each share of our company’s Common Stock is entitled to one vote.

 

The board of directors of the Company on September 15, 2015, adopted a resolution approving and recommending to the Company's stockholders for their approval an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to provide for an increase of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 250,000,000 to 1,500,000,000.

  

The board of directors recommends the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock to insure that a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares is available (i) to provide for conversion shares for our convertible debt outstanding at the date of this Information Statement and to raise additional capital for the operations of the Company; (ii) to make options and shares available to employees, future non-employee directors and consultants of the Company as an incentive for services provided to the Company; and (iii) to have shares of Common Stock available for possible acquisitions. Such shares would be available for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company without further action by the stockholders, unless required by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or by the laws of the State of Delaware. Neither the presently authorized shares of Common Stock nor the additional shares of Common Stock that may be authorized pursuant to the proposed amendment carry preemptive rights.

 

As of February 1, 2016, with 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, we had 209,843,447 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and therefore, as of February 1, 2016, we have approximately 40,000,000 shares available for other corporate purposes. The price of our Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on February 2, 2016, closed at $0.0005. With a stock price in this range we will require additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to provide conversion shares for our aggregate of approximately $975,000 principal amount of currently outstanding convertible debt, and to accomplish the purposes set forth in the preceding paragraph. There are currently no set plans or arrangements relating to the possible issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock proposed to be authorized except for the issuance of shares under the terms of convertible debt now outstanding. We are not party to any agreements or understandings regarding any acquisitions, nor are any acquisitions under negotiation.

 

The additional shares of Common Stock, if issued, would have a dilutive effect upon the percentage of equity of the Company owned by present stockholders. The issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock might be disadvantageous to current stockholders in that any additional issuances would potentially reduce per share dividends, if any. Stockholders should consider, however, that the possible impact upon dividends is likely to be minimal in view of the fact that the Company has never paid dividends, has never adopted any policy with respect to the payment of dividends and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock, by reducing the percentage of equity of the Company owned by present stockholders, would reduce such present stockholders' ability to influence the election of directors or any other action taken by the holders of Common Stock.

 

STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

 

Our Company obtained stockholder approval for the amendment to increase the number of shares of our Common Stock that we are authorized to issue from 250,000,000 shares to 1,500,000,000 shares by written consent on September 15, 2015, from EIG Capital, Ltd., our principal stockholder which owns beneficially 85,679,118 shares, or 56.93%, of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of the date of such approval. The amendment authorizing the increase in our Common Stock will not become effective until (i) at least 20 days after we deliver the Information Statement to our stockholders of record, (ii) we file the Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (iii) the Certificate of Amendment has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
