Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.
COMMON STOCK
This registration statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Yappn Corp. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”).
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders and are not entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.
Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders.
In addition, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Registrant’s Board of Directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of the Registrant’s Board of Directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth.
In the event of our liquidation or dissolution, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights and no right to convert their Common Stock into any other securities.
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of the Registrant’s Board of Directors.
