INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

Dated June 18, 2013

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about June 18, 2013 to the stockholders of record of Cytocore, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) at the close of business on June 14, 2013 (the “Record Date”). This Information Statement is being sent to you for information purposes only. No action is required or requested on your part.

 

This Information Statement is being provided:

 

(i) to inform you of the approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation (as amended to date, “Certificate of Incorporation”) to implement a reverse stock split of our common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-10, while maintaining the current amount of shares of common stock and preferred stock that are presently authorized; and

 

(ii) to serve as notice of the foregoing actions in accordance with Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Section 228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law states that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and those consents are delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

The amendment was approved on June 4, 2013, upon the execution of a written consent by the holders of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Stock”), voting together as a single class. Because the amendment has been approved by the holders of the requisite number of outstanding shares that are entitled to cast votes, no other stockholder approval of the amendment is necessary. This Information Statement will also serve as notice of actions taken without a meeting as required by Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. No further notice of the actions described herein will be given to you.

 

We are currently authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 250,665,878 shares of Common Stock, 47,250 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 93,750 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 38,333 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, 175,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and 19,022 shares of Series E Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Series E Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share is convertible on the Record Date, calculated to the nearest whole share. As of the Record Date, the Series E Stock outstanding was convertible into approximately 52,311 shares of Common Stock. Other than the Series E Stock, no class of Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on the amendment to our certificate of incorporation. The affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class is necessary to approve the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. The requisite stockholder approval of the amendments was obtained on June 4, 2013.

 

The expenses of preparing and mailing this Information Statement and all documents that now accompany or may hereafter supplement it will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers and other persons holding stock in their names or the names of nominees for their expenses incurred in forwarding this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of such shares.

 

Amendment to our CERTIFICATE of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock

 

On May 20, 2013, our board of directors executed a written consent authorizing the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. On June 4, 2013, the holders of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, acted by written consent to approve the amendment. A copy of this amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A (subject to any changes required by applicable law) (the “Certificate of Amendment”).

 

General

 

The reverse stock split will be realized simultaneously for all outstanding Common Stock and the ratio will be the same for all outstanding Common Stock. The reverse stock split will affect all holders of Common Stock uniformly and each stockholder will hold the same percentage of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the reverse stock split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below. The Certificate of Amendment will not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock (which will remain at 500,000,000) and will not change the par value of the Common Stock (which will remain at $0.001 per share).

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

 

The reason for the reverse stock split is to provide us with the ability to support our present capital needs and future anticipated growth. As discussed below under the caption " Effect on Authorized but Unissued Shares ," the reverse stock split will have the effect of significantly increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. The Board believes that we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue our operations through 2013 and beyond. As of June 14, 2013, 249,334,122 shares of Common Stock were authorized but unissued and available for issuance, which may not be sufficient to meet our capital needs. The availability of additional shares of Common Stock would also provide us with the flexibility to consider and respond to future business opportunities and needs as they arise, including equity offerings, mergers or other business combinations, asset acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and other corporate purposes. The Company currently has no agreements for any of the foregoing.

 

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

A reverse stock split refers to a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of a class of a corporation's capital stock, which may be accomplished, as in this case, by reclassifying and combining all of our outstanding shares of Common Stock into a proportionately smaller number of shares. For example, a stockholder holding 10,000 shares of Common Stock before the reverse stock split would instead hold 1,000 shares of Common Stock immediately after the reverse stock split. Each stockholder's proportionate ownership of outstanding shares of Common Stock would remain the same, subject to adjustments in connection with rounding up fractional shares. All shares of Common Stock will remain validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We do not intend to use the reverse stock split as a part of or a first step in a "going private" transaction within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). There is no plan or contemplated plan by the Company to take itself private at the date of this information statement.

 

Effect on Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

The reverse stock split will have the effect of significantly increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock will not be decreased and will remain at 500,000,000. Because the number of outstanding shares will be reduced as a result of the reverse stock split, the number of shares available for issuance will be increased. As of the Record Date, there were 250,665,878 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. After completion of the reverse stock split, there will be approximately 25,066,588 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

We may issue shares to acquire other companies or assets or engage in business combination transactions. As of the date of this information statement, we have no specific plans, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, with respect to the increase in shares available for issuance as a result of the reverse stock split.

Anti-Takeover and Dilutive Effects

 

The purpose of maintaining our authorized Common Stock at 500,000,000 shares after the reverse stock split is to facilitate our ability to raise additional capital to support our operations, not to establish any barriers to a change of control or acquisition of the Company. Shares of Common Stock that are authorized but unissued provide the Board with flexibility to effect, among other transactions, public or private financings, subscription rights offerings, mergers, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the granting of equity incentive awards. However, these authorized but unissued shares may also be used by the Board, consistent with and subject to its fiduciary duties, to deter future attempts to gain control of us or make such actions more expensive and less desirable.

 

In addition, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock for any of the corporate purposes listed above could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and the book or market value of the outstanding Common Stock, depending on the circumstances, and would likely dilute a stockholder's percentage voting power in the Company. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution.

 

We did not propose this amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation in response to any effort known to us to accumulate Common Stock or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer or solicitation in opposition to management.

 

Effect on Fractional Stockholders

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, we intend to round shares up to the next whole share.

 

Effect on Beneficial Stockholders

 

If you hold shares of Common Stock in "street name" through an intermediary, we will treat your Common Stock in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names. Intermediaries will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their customers holding Common Stock in street name. However, these intermediaries may have different procedures for processing a reverse stock split. If you hold shares of Common Stock in street name, we encourage you to contact your intermediaries.

 

Registered "Book-Entry" Holders of Common Stock

 

If you hold shares of Common Stock electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent, you do not currently have and will not be issued stock certificates evidencing your ownership after the reverse stock split, and you do not need to take action to receive post-reverse stock split shares. If you are entitled to post-reverse stock split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to you indicating the number of shares of Common Stock held following the reverse stock split.

 

Effect on Registered Stockholders Holding Certificates

 

As soon as practicable after the reverse stock split, our transfer agent will mail transmittal letters to each stockholder holding shares of Common Stock in certificated form. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how a stockholder should surrender his or her certificate(s) representing shares of Common Stock (the "Old Certificates") to the transfer agent in exchange for certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split Common Stock (the "New Certificates"). No New Certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all Old Certificates, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the transfer agent. Stockholders will then receive a New Certificate(s) representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock that they are entitled as a result of the reverse stock split. Until surrendered, we will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by stockholders to be cancelled and only to represent the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split Common Stock to which these stockholders are entitled. Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for New Certificates.

 

5
 

 

Effect on Outstanding Options and Warrants

 

Upon a reverse stock split, all outstanding options, warrants and future or contingent rights to acquire Common Stock will be adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. With respect to all outstanding options and warrants to purchase Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock that such holders may purchase upon exercise of such options or warrants will decrease, and the exercise prices of such options or warrants will increase, in proportion to the fraction by which the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such options and warrants are reduced as a result of the reverse stock split. Also, the number of shares reserved for issuance under our existing stock option and equity incentive plans would be reduced proportionally based on the ratio of the reverse stock split.

 

Effect on Outstanding Shares of Preferred Stock

 

All outstanding shares of preferred stock entitling the holders thereof to convert such securities into shares of our Common Stock (including but not limited to our Series A, B, C, D and E Convertible Preferred Stock) will enable such holders to receive, upon conversion of such shares of preferred stock, one-tenth of the number of shares of our Common Stock that such holders would have been able to receive upon conversion of their shares of preferred stock immediately preceding the reverse stock split, at a conversion price equal to between ten times greater the price before the reverse stock split, resulting in approximately the same aggregate conversion price upon conversion thereof as in effect immediately preceding the reverse stock split.

 

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split

 

If the Board elects to effect the reverse stock split, we will effect the reverse stock split by filing the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The reverse stock split will become effective, and the combination of, and reduction in, the number of our outstanding shares as a result of the reverse stock split will occur automatically, at the time of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment (referred to as the "effective time"), without any action on the part of our stockholders and without regard to the date that stock certificates representing any certificated shares prior to the reverse stock split are physically surrendered for new stock certificates. Beginning at the effective time, each certificate representing pre-reverse stock split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split shares. The text of the Certificate of Amendment is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and as the Board deems necessary and advisable to effect the reverse stock split.

 

The Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split if, at any time prior to filing the Certificate of Amendment, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to proceed with the reverse stock split.

 

Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate(s) and should not submit any certificate(s) until they receive a letter of transmittal from our transfer agent.

Effective Date of the Amendment

 

The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Our board of directors intends to file the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation as soon as practicable upon the passing of 20 calendar days from the date a definitive copy of this Information Statement is mailed to our stockholders. The full text of the proposed amendment is set forth in Appendix A to this Information Statement. The text of the amendment is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of Delaware and as our board of directors deems necessary and advisable to effect the amendment.

 

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

 

The following is a summary of important tax considerations of the reverse stock split. It addresses only stockholders who hold Common Stock as capital assets. It does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold their pre-reverse stock split shares as part of a straddle, hedge or conversion transaction, and stockholders who acquired their pre-reverse stock split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. This summary is based upon current law, which may change, possibly even retroactively. It does not address tax considerations under state, local, foreign and other laws. The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder's own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the reverse stock split.

 

A stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the reverse stock split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the post-reverse stock split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged.

 

The foregoing views are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, each stockholder should consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to him or her of the reverse stock split.

 

7
 

 

Accounting Matters

 

The par value of the Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share after the reverse stock split. As a result, our stated capital, which consists of the par value per share of the Common Stock multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding, will be reduced proportionately at the effective time of the reverse stock split. Correspondingly, our additional paid-in capital, which consists of the difference between our stated capital and the aggregate amount paid to us upon the issuance of all currently outstanding shares of Common Stock, will be increased by a number equal to the decrease in stated capital. Further, net loss per share, book value per share and other per share amounts will be increased as a result of the reverse stock split because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.

 

Required Vote

 

The affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class is necessary to approve the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. The requisite stockholder approval of the amendments was obtained on June 4, 2013.

 

Notice of Action by Written Consent

 

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 of Regulation 14C promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are required to distribute an information statement to every stockholder from whom consent is not solicited at least 20 calendar days prior to the earliest date on which the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation becomes effective. This Information Statement serves as the notice required by Rule 14c-2 of Regulation 14C.

 

Dissenters’ Rights

 

The stockholders have no right under the DGCL, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation consistent with above, or the Company’s bylaws to dissent from the action adopted as set forth herein.

Change In Control Transaction in Last Fiscal Year .

 

On May 20, 2013, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) with Robert McCullough, Jr., our chief executive officer, pursuant to which all parties agreed to convert the $3.25 million payable by us to Mr. McCullough (the “Advance”) into shares of our Common Stock. Under the Conversion Agreement, we agreed to issue to Mr. McCullough 162,500,000 shares of our Common Stock in exchange for the cancellation of the Advance. Prior to the issuance, Mr. McCullough beneficially owned 5,190,706 shares of Common Stock, constituting 7.1% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. After the issuance, Mr. McCullough beneficially owned 167,690,706 shares of our Common Stock, which constitutes 66.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. McCullough intends to remain a member of our board of directors and to continue serving as our chief executive officer for the foreseeable future.

 

HOUSEHOLDING

 

Under SEC rules, only one annual report, information statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, need be sent to any household at which two or more of our stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family and contrary instructions have not been received from an affected stockholder. This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and printing expenses for us. Brokers with accountholders who are our stockholders may be householding these materials. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, now or at any time in the future, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would like to receive a separate annual report, information statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or if you currently receive multiple copies of these documents at your address and would prefer that the communications be householded, you should contact us at 414 N. Orleans Street, Suite 510, Chicago, Illinois 60654 or (312) 222-9550.

 

REQUESTS FOR CERTAIN DOCUMENTS

 

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). You may read and copy any document we file with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for information on the public reference room. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy and information statements and other information that issuers (including us) file electronically with the SEC. Our electronic SEC filings are available to the public at the SEC’s internet site, www.sec.gov.

We make available free of charge financial information, news releases, SEC filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports as soon as reasonably practical after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC, on our website at www.globalstar.com. The documents available on, and the contents of, our website are not incorporated by reference into this Information Statement.

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

OF

CYTOCORE, INC.

 

Pursuant to Section 242 of the
