This information statement is being furnished to all holders of the common stock of DC Brands in connection with the proposed action by Written Consent to authorize the board of directors to carry out the Stock Split of the common stock of the Corporation.

 

ITEM 1.


INFORMATION STATEMENT

This information statement is being furnished to all holders of the common stock of DC Brands, in connection with resolutions of the Board of Directors and the written consent of the holder of 62.60% of the voting rights of the stockholders of DC Brands. The board of directors hereby provides public notice of the approval and authorization to effectuate the Stock Split of the common stock of the Corporation, as approved by the written consent of the holder of 62.60% of the voting rights of the stockholders of DC Brands.

 

The Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Stock Split and a person owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of DC Brands, has adopted, ratified and approved the proposed actions. No other votes are required or necessary to effectuate the proposed actions.  See the caption "Vote Required for Approval" below. Such action by our stockholder will be effective 20 calendar days after the date this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders and after the filing of required amendment to the articles of incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State's office.

 The Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for quarterly periods ended March 31, 2014, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and any reports on Form 8-K filed by DC Brands during the past year with the Securities and Exchange Commission may be viewed on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov in the Edgar Archives. DC Brands is presently current in the filing of all reports required to be filed by it. See the caption “Where You Can Find More Information,” below.

GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO CONDUCT A 1 for 100 SHARE STOCK SPLIT OF DC BRANDS’ COMMON STOCK.

 

Purpose: DC Brands’ board has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Board to effectuate a reverse stock split. The Stock Split would reduce the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. The board has determined that it would be in the Corporation’s best interest to conduct a reverse stock split of its common stock on up to a 1 for 100 basis and has received the consent of the holder of a majority of the voting power of the Corporation’s securities to authorize the board to conduct such a reverse stock split.  

 

The primary purposes of the Stock Split are to accomplish the following:

 

a)  increase the per share price of the common stock to help maintain the interest of the markets;

 

b)  reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock to a level more consistent with other public companies with a similar anticipated market capitalization;

 

c) provide the management of DC Brands with additional flexibility to issue shares to facilitate future stock acquisitions and financing for DC Brands without the delay and expense of holding a special meeting of stockholders.

 

For the above reasons, the Board of Directors believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of DC Brands and its stockholders.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Stock Split will have the desired benefits.

 

The board believes that the Stock Split would provide for the combination of the presently issued and outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of identical common stock.  The Stock Split would affect all common stockholders uniformly. This process that is known as a reverse stock split, would take 100 shares of the presently issued and outstanding common stock on the effective date of the amendment to the articles of incorporation that would carry out the reverse stock split and convert those shares into one share of the post-reverse stock split common stock.  The conversion rate of all securities convertible into common stock would be proportionately adjusted.

 

The board has indicated that fractional shares will not be issued.  Instead, DC Brands will issue one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process.  Each stockholder will hold the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the Stock Split as that stockholder did immediately prior to the Stock Split, except for minor adjustment as a result of the additional shares that will need to be issued a result of the treatment of fractional shares.

 

For the above reasons, the board believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of DC Brands and its stockholders.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Stock Split will have the desired benefits. The board has no immediate plans, understandings, agreements or commitments to issue additional shares of common stock for any purpose other than upon conversion of currently outstanding securities, in accordance with their terms.

 

Effects: The Stock Split will be effected by filing an amendment to the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office and will become effective upon such filing and final approval of the board of directors of the Corporation.  The actual timing of any such filing will be made by the board of directors based upon its evaluation as to when the filing will be most advantageous to the Corporation and its stockholders.

 

DC Brands is currently authorized to issue 30,000,000,000 shares of its common stock of which 6,093,359,427 shares are currently issued and outstanding and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock are authorized of which (i) 100,000 are designated as Series A preferred stock and 91,111 shares of Series A preferred stock are outstanding (ii) 2,500 are designated Series B preferred stock and 106 shares of Series B preferred stock are outstanding.   (iii) 35,000 are designated Series C preferred stock and 1,641shares of Series C preferred stock are outstanding; (iv) 91,111 are designated Series D preferred stock and 44,663 shares of Series D preferred stock are outstanding; (v) 10,000 are designated Series E preferred stock and 2,737 shares of Series E preferred stock are outstanding; (vi) 5,500 are designated Series F preferred stock and 5,500 shares of Series F preferred stock are outstanding and (vii) 6,000 are designated Series G preferred stock and 6,000 shares of Series G preferred stock are outstanding. If all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock and outstanding convertible debt were to convert to common shares, we would be required to issue in excess of 17,000,000,000 shares of common stock which would far exceed our number of authorized shares of common stock.

 

The outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock are entitled to vote 51.25% of the outstanding common stock.

 

2
 

 

Each share of Series B preferred stock is nonvoting but is convertible into .075% of the outstanding common shares at the time of conversion. The Class C Preferred Stock has no voting rights and is convertible at any time after the 13 th month after the date of its issuance into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as shall equal 1% of the outstanding common shares on the date of conversion divided by 1,000.

  

The Class D Preferred Stock has no dividend, conversion or voting rights. The Class D Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference equal to 40% of the proceeds of any sale of shares of common stock, a liquidation or winding up, the sale of the Series A Preferred.

 

The Class E Preferred Stock has no liquidation or voting rights. The Class E Preferred Stock is entitled to a 10.25% dividend that is payable quarterly. The Class E Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as shall equal 2.5% of the outstanding common shares on the date of conversion divided by 1,000.

 

The Class F Preferred Stock has no dividend, liquidation or voting rights. The Class F Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as shall equal 1.0% of the outstanding common shares on the date of conversion divided by 1,000. The Company has the right to redeem the Class F Preferred at a redemption price of $286.86 per share.

 

The Class G Preferred Stock has no dividend, liquidation or voting rights. The Class G Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as shall equal 1.0% of the outstanding common shares on the date of conversion divided by 1,000. The Company has the right to redeem the Class F Preferred at a redemption price of $1,250 per share.

 

Currently, a stockholder holding 201,000,000 shares of common stock and all of the outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock 62.60% of the voting rights has consented in writing to the proposal.  A reverse stock split on a 1 for 100 basis would reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock to approximately 60,933,594, but will not reduce the number of preferred shares outstanding or authorized shares of common stock. Although the number of shares into which the Series B, E, F and G preferred stock is convertible will be reduced, the percentage of the outstanding common shares into which the Series B preferred stock will be convertible will not change. The outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock are currently entitled and after the Stock Split will remain entitled to vote 51.25% of the outstanding common stock.

 

The Stock Split will affect all common holders uniformly and will not have any effect on the stated par value of the common stock.

 

The effect of the Stock Split upon existing stockholders of the common stock will be that the total number of shares of DC Brands’ common stock held by each stockholder will automatically convert into the number of whole shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock owned immediately prior to the Stock Split divided by 100, with an adjustment for any fractional shares.  (Fractional shares will be rounded up into a whole share). If acted upon by the Corporation’s board of directors, the consent by the majority stockholder reported herein, would result in each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Corporation and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged on the date that the split is effectuated, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares.  The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of common stock will be substantially unaffected by the Stock Split.  All issued and outstanding options, warrants, and convertible debt securities would be appropriately adjusted for the Stock Split automatically on the effective date of the Stock Split.  

 

The Stock Split may also result in some stockholders holding “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock.  Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots may be higher, particularly on a per-share basis, than the cost of transactions in even multiples of 100 shares.

 

As a result of the proposal to conduct the Stock Split, DC Brands will have more authorized shares available for issuance than it currently has available and therefore, there is a significant risk of stockholder value represented by the common stock being diluted.  The proposed Stock Split creates a risk that current stockholders of the common stock will see the value of those shares diluted through the issuance of additional authorized but currently unissued shares.  The current net tangible book value per share would be diluted if additional shares are issued without an increase taking place in the net book value of the assets of DC Brands.  The current book value of shares held by existing stockholders would not be maintained in the event additional shares are issued.  The Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock to approximately 60,933,594 however the authorized shares will remain at 30,000,000,000 and the issuance of the remaining 29,939,0066,406 would have a material dilutive effect upon existing stockholders.

 

Because the Stock Split results in an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock, it may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect.  Although the Stock Split is not being undertaken for this purpose, in the future the Board of Directors could, subject to its fiduciary duties and applicable law, use the increased number of authorized but unissued shares to frustrate persons seeking to take over or otherwise gain control of our Corporation by, for example, privately placing shares with purchasers who might side with the Board of Directors in opposing a hostile takeover bid.   Such use of our common stock could render more difficult, or discourage, an attempt to acquire control of our Corporation if such transactions were opposed by the Board of Directors.

 

3
 

 

After the taking of any action to conduct the Stock Split there is not a requirement that stockholders obtain new or replacement share certificates.  Each of the holders of record of shares of DC Brands’ common stock that is outstanding on the effective date of the Stock Split may contact DC Brands’ transfer agent to exchange the certificates for new certificates representing the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split common shares into which the existing shares have been converted as a result of the Stock Split.

 



EXISTING CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO THE CORPORATION OR THE TRANSFER AGENT BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE FILING OF THE PROPOSED MOVE.

 

Unless and until the stockholder forwards a completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing such stockholder's shares of DC Brands common stock to the transfer agent and receives in return a new certificate representing shares of DC Brands common stock, such stockholder's existing common stock shall be deemed equal to the number of shares of DC Brands common stock to which such stockholder is entitled as a result of the move.

 

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following discussion describes certain material federal income tax considerations relating to the proposed Stock Split. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, legislative history, judicial decisions, and current administrative rulings and practices, all as amended and in effect on the date hereof. Any of these authorities could be repealed, overruled, or modified at any time. Any such change could be retroactive and, accordingly, could cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described herein. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with respect to the matters discussed herein has been requested, and there is no assurance that the IRS would agree with the conclusions set forth in this discussion.

 

This discussion may not address federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders in light of their personal circumstances or to stockholders who may be subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.

 

STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCE OF THE MOVE FOR THEM, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS AND ANY PENDING OR PROPOSED LEGISLATION.

 

The Stock Split is intended to be a tax-free recapitalization to the Corporation and its stockholders. Stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Stock Split. The holding period for shares of common stock after the Stock Split will include the holding period of shares of common stock before the Stock Split, provided, that such shares of common stock are held as a capital asset at the effective date of the amendment. The aggregate adjusted basis of the shares of common stock after the Stock Split will be the same as the adjusted basis of the shares of common stock before the Stock Split.

 

DC Brands believes that the foregoing addresses the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Stock Split to stockholders. The opinion is based upon the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions and current administrative rulings, all of which are subject to change with retroactive effect. The tax consequences to stockholders of the Stock Split may be affected by their particular circumstances and by the applicability to them of one or more special rules like those which apply to dealers in securities, foreign persons, mutual funds, insurance companies and persons who do not hold their shares as capital assets. Therefore, DC Brands urges stockholders to consult their own tax advisors concerning the effect of the Stock Split upon them, including the effect of any state, local or other tax to which they may be subject. An opinion of tax counsel will not be provided to stockholders.

  

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE PROPOSAL AUTHORIZING THE BOARD TO CONDUCT THE PROPOSED MERGER.

 

Q.     WHY IS APPROVAL SOUGHT FOR THE PROPOSED STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMMON STOCK ON A 1 for 100 BASIS?
