INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(C) OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND REGULATION 14C THEREUNDER

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU

ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

 

General:

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to all holders of the common stock of Swordfish Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 25, 2014 in connection with the action taken by written consent of holders of the majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company to adopt the 2014 Incentive Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan

 

“We,” “us,” “our,” the “Registrant” and the “Company” refers to Swordfish Financial, Inc., a Minnesota corporation.

 

2014 Incentive Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan & Related Actions

 

This Information Statement is furnished to the stockholders of the Company in connection with our prior receipt of approval by our Chief Executive Officer and holder of 71.4% of the common voting rights of the Company, Clark Ortiz, by written consents, in lieu of a special meeting of shareholders to adopt our 2014 Incentive Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”)(the “Voting Stockholder”). In connection with adopting the Plan, the Voting Stockholder also approved the issuance of up to 2,000,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Plan. As of March 25, 2014, the Voting Stockholder is the owner of 50,000,000 shares of our common stock and 25,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of a common stock per share and carries with it voting rights pari passu to our common stock at a factor of 100 common votes for each share of Preferred Stock (e.g., 2,500,000,000 votes).

 

Currently, the Company does not have a formal equity compensation plan in place. The Plan, in relevant part, provides that our Board of Directors may by majority vote direct that employees, directors and consultants of the Company be granted shares of our common stock and options to purchase shares of our common stock as compensation for past and future services rendered to the Company. Specifically, the Plan provides that the Company may grant such eligible individuals incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, shares of common stock and stock appreciation rights. The Board of Directors and Voting Shareholder anticipate that in adopting the Plan, the Company will become better suited to attract and retain qualified directors, employees and consultants to the Company.

 

In connection with adopting the Plan, the Voting Shareholder also approved a resolution that up to 2,000,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the terms and conditions of the Plan. That is, at its discretion, the Board of Directors may elect to have issued to directors, employees and consultants it deems deserving, up to 2,000,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock, options to purchase our common stock, or some combination thereof. If our Board of Directors decides to issue shares of common stock or options to purchase our common stock, the issuance of such securities would not affect the rights of the holders of our currently outstanding common stock, except for affects incidental to increasing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, such as dilution of the earnings per share and voting rights of current holders of common stock.

 

Finally, to accommodate the future issuance of our Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Voting Stockholder approved a resolution amending our Articles of Incorporation to issue up to 5,000,000,000 shares of our Common Stock from its previous total of 3,000,000,000.

 

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

As of March 25, 2014, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, Clark Ortiz was the owner of 50,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and 25, 000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible at the holder’s election into 250,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. The Preferred Stock also carries with it voting rights pari passu to our Common Stock at a factor of 100 common votes for each share of Preferred or, in total, 2,500,000,000 votes. Together, Mr. Ortiz, controls 71.4% of the total common voting rights. His ownership of our securities will not change as a result of the actions described herein. Our Board of Directors has not yet caused any awards to be made pursuant to the Plan.
