INFORMATION STATEMENT

_________________

General Information

NaturalNano, Inc.(the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation with its principal executive office located at 763 Linden Ave., Rochester, New York, 14625. The Company’s telephone number is (585) 267-4848. This Information Statement is being sent to the Company’s stockholders by the Board of Directors to notify them about actions that the holder of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting capital has taken by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders. The actions were taken on November 4, 2014, and will be effective on or about December 14, 2014, twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement. This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about November 24, 2014 to the stockholders as of the Record Date (as defined below).

On November 4, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and recommended to the Majority Stockholder (as defined below) for approval the following resolutions (collectively, the “Actions”):

	(i)	To approve the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Charter”) to increase the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000;

	(ii)	To approve the Company’s Amended and Restated Charter to change the required number of directors comprising of the Board of Directors;

	(iii)	To approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) in the ratio range of not less than one-for-100 and not more than one-for-600 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), pursuant to which in lieu of issuing fractional shares, holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, will receive shares in an amount to be rounded up to the next whole number, with the exact ratio to be set within this range as determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion; and

	(iv)	To ratify the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company.

On November 4, 2014, the sole stockholder of a majority of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company (the “Majority Stockholder”) approved the Actions by written consent in lieu of a special meeting in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes. The Majority Stockholder holds 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which is entitled to a fifty-one percent (51%) vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, neither your vote nor your consent is required and neither is being solicited in connection with the approval of the Actions. In addition to the Actions set forth above, the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder also approved a proposal to change the name of the Company from “NaturalNano, Inc.” to “Encore Energy Partners, Inc.” and a proposal to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock from 800,000,000 to 1,800,000,000 on July 18, 2014, which proposals were subsequently abandoned upon approval of the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder on August 15, 2014, and on November 4, 2014, respectively, as they deem it to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to retain the Company’s current name and the authorized number of shares of Common Stock is sufficient for the Company’s current needs for additional equity financings, stock based acquisitions and other corporate actions. On November 4, 2014, the Board of Directors changed the Record Date from July 18, 2014 to November 4, 2014 (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement.

Attached to this Information Statement are appendixes setting forth the Amended and Restated Charter and the amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter which will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and the Amended and Restated Bylaws. The summary in this Information Statement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Charter, Amended and Restated Bylaws and the amendment to the Amended and Restated Charter in Appendixes A, B and C.

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Actions described herein cannot be completed until at least twenty (20) days after the date on which the Information Statement has been mailed to stockholders. The Company anticipates that the Actions will be effected on or about the close of business on December 14, 2014. This Information Statement will serve as written notice to stockholders pursuant to Section 78.370 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

This Information Statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, to the stockholders of Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock of the Company in order to notify such stockholders of the following:

ABOUT THE INFORMATION STATEMENT

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE INFORMATION STATEMENT?

This Information Statement is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act to notify the Company’s stockholders as of the close of business on the Record Date of certain corporate actions taken by a majority of the voting capital of the Company. The Majority Stockholder holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock has voted in favor of the Actions, as outlined in this Information Statement, which actions are expected to take place on or about December 14, 2014.

WHO IS ENTITLED TO NOTICE?

Each outstanding share of the Company’s voting securities on the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to notice of the Actions voted on by the Majority Stockholder. The Majority Stockholder, who as of the close of business on the Record Date held the authority to cast votes in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s outstanding voting power, voted in favor of the Actions. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, stockholder approval may be taken by obtaining the written consent and approval of the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of voting stock in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders.

WHAT CONSTITUTES THE VOTING SHARES OF THE COMPANY?

The voting power entitled to vote on the Actions consists of the vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting securities as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, the Company’s voting securities consisted of 597,479,214 shares of outstanding Common Stock, 5,000 shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and 100 shares of outstanding Series D Preferred Stock. The Majority Stockholder holds 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which is entitled to a fifty-one percent (51%) vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. The remaining forty-nine percent (49%) vote is shared among the holders of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock based on their prospective voting power.

WHAT CORPORATE MATTERS HAS THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER VOTED FOR?

The Majority Stockholder, holding a majority of our outstanding voting securities, has voted in favor of the following Actions:

	·	To approve the Company’s Amended and Restated Charter to increase the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000;
	·	To approve the Company’s Amended and Restated Charter to change the required number of directors comprising of the Board of Directors;
	·	To approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in the ratio range of not less than one-for-100 and not more than one-for-600, with the exact ratio to be set within this range as determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion; and
	·	To ratify the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company.

WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE ACTIONS?

No further vote is required for approval of the Actions.

DO THE STOCKHOLDERS HAVE DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL?

The stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Nevada law or under the governing documents of the Company with respect to the Actions.

OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES

As of the Record Date, the Company’s authorized capital consisted of 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, consisting of two series of preferred stock: 44,118 shares authorized as Series B Preferred Stock and 5,000 outstanding and 100 shares authorized as Series D Preferred Stock and 100 outstanding. As of the Record Date, 597,479,214 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and 5,100 shares of preferred stock with voting powers were issued and outstanding. After taking into account shares underlying outstanding stock options, outstanding warrants and preferred stock, and the reservation of shares for the issuance under the Company’s equity-based compensation plans, approximately 34,776,402 remained available for issuance. No fractional shares are outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 160 shares of Common Stock and represents, on an as converted basis, 160 votes on each matter submitted to the stockholders, subject to beneficial ownership limitation. However, because a stockholder holding at least a majority of the voting rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock executed a written consent approving of the Actions discussed in this Information Statement, and having sufficient voting power to approve such proposals through majority ownership of voting capital, no other stockholder consent will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.

The holder of Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to a fifty-one percent (51%) vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. There are no other rights or preferences attached to the Series D Preferred Stock. As a result of the issuance of the 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to James Wemett, the Majority Stockholder and the Company’s President and Chairman, Mr. Wemett has voting rights over fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company.

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Actions will not be adopted until a date at least twenty (20) days after the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the stockholders. The Company anticipates that the Actions contemplated herein will be effected on or about the close of business on December 14, 2014.

The Company has asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE – ACTIONS 1-2

On November 4, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution approving and recommending to the stockholders for their approval the Amended and Restated Charter, including amendments (i) to increase the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from 10,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares; and (ii) to change the required number of directors comprising of the Board of Directors. On November 4, 2014, the Majority Stockholder approved and authorized the Amended and Restated Charter.

Below is a description of the changes proposed to be effected by adoption of the Amended and Restated Charter. The description of the amendments should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated Charter attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A. All rights, preferences and designations of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, and Series D Preferred Stock will remain unchanged except to the extent amended by the Amended and Restated Charter.

The Amended and Restated Charter will become effective upon filing with the Nevada Secretary of State as required by the Nevada Revised Statutes. It is anticipated that this will occur approximately twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

ACTION 1

TO APPROVE THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CHARTER TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK OF THE COMPANY

Purpose and Effect of the Amendment

As described above under “Introductory Note – Actions 1-2,” the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder approved the Amended and Restated Charter, which, among other things, increases the authorized number of shares of preferred stock of the Company to 100,000,000 shares from 10,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors believes it continues to be in our best interest to have sufficient additional authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock available in order to provide flexibility for corporate action in the future. Management believes that the availability of additional authorized shares of preferred stock for issuance from time to time in the Board of Directors’ discretion in connection with possible acquisitions of other companies, future financings, investment opportunities, stock splits or dividends or for other corporate purposes is desirable in order to avoid repeated separate amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and the delay and expense incurred in holding meetings of the stockholders to approve such amendments.

The Company currently has 800,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. As of the Record Date, the Company had approximately 597,479,214 shares of Common Stock outstanding, 5,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding.

This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized preferred stock will not alter the current number of issued shares. The authorized shares of preferred stock will be available for issuance at such times and for such corporate purposes as our Board of Directors may deem advisable, without further action by our holders of Common Stock, except as may be required by applicable law or by the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association trading system on which the preferred stock may be listed or traded in the future. The Board of Directors has authority to issue the authorized preferred stock in one or more series, each of which will have the designation and number of shares as the Board of Directors may fix prior to the issuance of any shares of such series. Each series may have the preferences in relative, participating, optional or other special rights, with the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, as are stated in the resolutions providing for the issue of the series as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares of such series.

The holders of our Common Stock do not have any preemptive or similar rights to purchase any shares of preferred stock. Although the increase in the authorized number of shares of preferred stock will not, in and of itself, have any immediate effect on the rights of the holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the issuance of shares of one or more series of preferred stock could, depending on the nature of the rights, and preferences granted to a newly issued series of preferred stock, affect the holders of shares of our Common Stock in a number of respects, including the following:

	·	diluting the voting power of the holders of our Common Stock, to the extent that a new series of preferred stock has voting rights;

	·	reducing the amount otherwise available for payment of dividends on our Common Stock, to the extent dividends are payable on shares of a new series of preferred stock;

	·	restricting the payment of dividends on our Common Stock;

	·	decreasing the market price of our Common Stock, to the extent that a new series of preferred stock provides for the conversion of such preferred stock into the Company’s Common Stock at prices that could be below the fair market value of our Common Stock (either initially or following implementation of anti-dilution or other adjustment provisions); and

	·	reducing the amount otherwise available for payment upon liquidation of the Company to holders of our Common Stock, to the extent of any liquidation preference on a new series of preferred stock.

Although the Company has no present intention to issue shares of our preferred stock to make acquisitions of control of the Company more difficult and is unaware of any pending proposals or initiatives of third parties to acquire the Company, substantial future issuances of our preferred stock could have that effect. For example, the acquisition of shares of our Common Stock by an entity seeking to acquire control of the Company might be discouraged through the public or private issuance of shares of our preferred stock that are convertible into shares of Common Stock, because such issuance could be used to dilute the ownership interest of the acquiring entity. The Company’s preferred stock could also be issued to existing shareholders as a dividend or as part of a shareholder rights plan or “poison pill,” which could have the effect of discouraging possible takeover bids for the Company.

ACTION 2

TO APPROVE THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CHARTER TO CHANGE THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF DIRECTORS COMPRISING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

As described above under “Introductory Note – Actions1-2,” the Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder approved the Amended and Restated Charter, which, among other things, provides that the number of directors comprising the Board of Directors shall be at least one and shall be fixed and may be increased or decreased from time to time in accordance with the Company’s bylaws. Currently, Article 9 of the Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company provides that the Board of Directors shall consist of no less than three nor more than nine directors.

The Board of Directors believes that the change to the requirement on the size of the Board of Directors is in the best interest of the Company. This amendment provides more flexibility and allows the Company to determine from time to time the optimal size of its Board of Directors, to facilitate the development of the Company’s business in light of its business size and development stage.

ACTION 3

TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECTUATE A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On November 4, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution approving and recommending to the stockholders for their approval an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock in the ratio range of not less than one-for-100 and not more than one-for-600. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, in lieu of issuing fractional shares, holders of the Company’s Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, will receive shares in an amount to be rounded up to the next whole number, with the exact ratio to be set within this range as determined by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.

On November 4, 2014, the Majority Stockholder approved and authorized the Reverse Stock Split.

The form of the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split will be substantially as set forth on Appendix C (subject to any changes required by applicable law).

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split; Potential Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

Our Board of Directors and Majority Stockholder approved the Reverse Stock Split with the primary intent of increasing the market price of our Common Stock to enhance our ability to meet the initial listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market or other national exchange and to make our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. The Company currently does not have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the authorized but unissued shares that would become available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition to increasing the market price of our Common Stock, the Reverse Stock Split would also reduce certain of our costs, as discussed below. Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders.

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, as we have been advised that the current market price of our Common Stock may affect its acceptability to certain institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public. Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because broker commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our Common Stock a more attractive and cost effective investment for many investors, which will enhance the liquidity of the holders of our Common Stock.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our Common Stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our Common Stock will increase following the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our Common Stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our Common Stock after a Reverse Stock Split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.

Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split, would become effective upon the filing (the “Effective Time”) of the Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The exact timing of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment that will effect the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by our Board of Directors based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders, but in any event, not before the elapse of twenty (20) days from the mailing of this Information Statement. In addition, our Board of Directors reserves the right 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 to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split.

Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Holders of Outstanding Common Stock

Depending on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our Board of Directors, a minimum of 100 and a maximum of 600 shares of existing Common Stock will be combined into one new share of Common Stock. The table below shows, as of the Record Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares) that would result from the listed hypothetical reverse stock split ratios (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares):

Reverse Stock Split Ratio	Approximate Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock Following the Reverse Stock Split
1-for-100		5,974,792
1-for-200		2,987,396
1-for-300		1,991,597
1-for-400		1,493,698
1-for-500		1,194,958
1-for-600		995,799

The actual number of shares issued after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by our Board of Directors.

The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except that as described below in the section entitled “Fractional Shares,” any fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).

The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

After the Effective Time, our Common Stock will have new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (“CUSIP”) number, which is a number used to identify our equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP number can be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below. After the Reverse Stock Split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. Our Common Stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace, subject to any decision of our Board of Directors to list our securities on another stock exchange.

Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e. stockholders who hold in street name)

Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our Common Stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold shares of our Common Stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.

Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e. stockholders that are registered on the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold stock certificates)

Certain of our registered holders of Common Stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.

Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action (the exchange will be automatic) to receive whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, subject to adjustment for treatment of fractional shares.

Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock

Stockholders holding shares of our Common Stock in certificated form will be sent a transmittal letter by our transfer agent after the Effective Time. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how a stockholder should surrender his, her or its certificate(s) representing shares of our 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. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange his, her or its Old Certificates. 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, subject to the treatment of fractional shares described below. 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, subject to the treatment of fractional shares. Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for New Certificates. If an Old Certificate has a restrictive legend on the back of the Old Certificate(s), the New Certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legends that are on the back of the Old Certificate(s).

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Fractional Shares

We do not currently intend to issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, we will not issue certificates representing fractional shares. In lieu of issuing fractions of shares, we will round up to the next whole number.

Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Employee Plans, Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Units, Warrants, and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities

Based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio determined by the Board of Directors, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of Common Stock. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of Common Stock being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares deliverable upon settlement or vesting of restricted stock awards will be similarly adjusted, subject to our treatment of fractional shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio determined by the Board of Directors, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock per share, which will remain $0.001 per share. As a result, as of the Effective Time, the stated capital attributable to Common Stock and the additional paid-in capital account on our balance sheet will not change due to the Reverse Stock Split. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to holders of our Common Stock:

Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our Common Stock (a “U.S. holder”). A trust may also be a U.S. holder if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person. An estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source may also be a U.S. holder. This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to (i) persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as banks, insurance companies, thrift institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies, (ii) persons that hold our Common Stock as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging,”“conversion” or other integrated investment transaction for federal income tax purposes, or (iii) persons that do not hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment).

If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

U.S. Holders

The Reverse Stock Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the Reverse Stock Split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-Reverse Stock Split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-split shares exchanged therefore (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-split shares exchanged. A holder of the pre-split shares who receives cash will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of the pre-split shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be short term if the pre-split shares were held for one year or less and long term if held more than one year. No gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

ACTION 4

TO APPROVE THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY

The Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholder approved the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws on November 4, 2014.

The Board of Directors reviews the Company’s corporate governance and organizational documents and has determined that its bylaws should be revised and updated to include and revise certain provisions to reflect the changes in and requirements of the Company’s business. The following is a brief summary of the changes to the previous Bylaws. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are attached hereto as Appendix B.

Certain Amendments to Our Bylaws

Appendix B

AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

NATURALNANO, INC.

(a Nevada corporation)

________________

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

1. CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK. Certificates representing stock in the corporation shall be signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or by the Chief Executive Officer or a President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation. Any or all the signatures on any such certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

Whenever the corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class of stock, and whenever the corporation shall issue any shares of its stock as partly paid stock, the certificates representing shares of any such class or series or of any such partly paid stock shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by the Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Private Corporations Law”). Any restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of any shares of stock of any class or series shall be noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such shares.

The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of the lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate, or such owner's legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

2. UNCERTIFICATED SHARES. Subject to any conditions imposed by the Private Corporations Law, the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the stock of the corporation shall be uncertificated shares. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of any uncertificated shares, the corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof any written notice prescribed by the Private Corporations Law.

3. FRACTIONAL SHARE INTERESTS. The corporation may, but shall not be required to, issue fractions of a share. If the corporation does not issue fractions of a share, it shall (1) arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto, (2) pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or (3) issue scrip or warrants in registered form (either represented by a certificate or uncertificated) or bearer form (represented by a certificate) which shall entitle the holder to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share. A certificate for a fractional share or an uncertificated fractional share shall, but scrip or warrants shall not unless otherwise provided therein, entitle the holder to exercise voting rights, to receive dividends thereon, and to participate in any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of Directors may cause scrip or warrants to be issued subject to the conditions that they shall become void if not exchanged for certificates representing the full shares or uncertificated full shares before a specified date, or subject to the conditions that the shares for which scrip or warrants are exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of scrip or warrants, or subject to any other conditions which the Board of Directors may impose.

4. STOCK TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, transfers or registration of transfers of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the stock ledger of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by the registered holder's attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation or with a transfer agent or a registrar, if any, and, in the case of shares represented by certificates, on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares of stock properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes due thereon.

5. RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDERS. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the Private Corporations Law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to 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. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the Private Corporations Law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

6. MEANING OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used herein in respect of the right to notice of a meeting of stockholders or a waiver thereof or to participate or vote thereat or to consent or dissent in writing in lieu of a meeting, as the case may be, the term "share" or "shares" or "share of stock" or "shares of stock" or "stockholder" or "stockholders" refers to an outstanding share or shares of stock and to a holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock when the corporation is authorized to issue only one class of shares of stock, and said reference is also intended to include any outstanding share or shares of stock and any holder or holders of record of outstanding shares of stock of any class upon which or upon whom the certificate of incorporation confers such rights where there are two or more classes or series of shares of stock or upon which or upon whom the Private Corporations Law confers such rights notwithstanding that the certificate of incorporation may provide for more than one class or series of shares of stock, one or more of which are limited or denied such rights thereunder; provided, however, that no such right shall vest in the event of an increase or a decrease in the authorized number of shares of stock of any class or series which is otherwise denied voting rights under the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, except as any provision of law may otherwise require.

7. STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS.

- TIME. The annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed, from time to time, by the directors, provided, that the first annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the organization of the corporation, and each successive annual meeting shall be held on a date within thirteen months after the date of the preceding annual meeting. A special meeting shall be held on the date and at the time fixed by the directors.

- PLACE. Annual meetings and special meetings may be held at such place, either within or without the State of Nevada, as the directors may, from time to time, fix. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix such place, the meeting shall be held at the registered office of the corporation in the State of Nevada. The board of directors may also, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Private Corporations Law. If a meeting by remote communication is authorized by the board of directors in its sole discretion, and subject to guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication participate in a meeting of stockholders and be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (a) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder, (b) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (c) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

- CALL. Annual meetings and special meetings may be called by the directors or by any officer instructed by the directors to call the meeting.

- NOTICE OR WAIVER OF NOTICE. Written notice of all meetings shall be given, which shall state the place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The notice of an annual meeting shall state that the meeting is called for the election of directors and for the transaction of other business which may properly come before the meeting, and shall (if any other action which could be taken at a special meeting is to be taken at such annual meeting) state the purpose or purposes. The notice of any meeting shall also include, or be accompanied by, any additional statements, information, or documents prescribed by the Private Corporations Law. Except as otherwise provided by the Private Corporations Law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the corporation. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. Whenever notice is required to be given under the Nevada Private Corporations Law, certificate of incorporation or bylaws, a written waiver signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

- STOCKHOLDER LIST. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

- CONDUCT OF MEETING. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by one of the following officers in the order of seniority and if present and acting - the Chairperson of the Board, if any, the Vice-Chairperson of the Board, if any, the Chief Executive Officer, President, an Executive Vice-President, or, if none of the foregoing is in office and present and acting, by a chairperson to be chosen by the stockholders. The Secretary of the corporation, or in such Secretary's absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of every meeting, but if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a secretary of the meeting.

- PROXY REPRESENTATION. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature. A stockholder may also authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making the determination shall specify the information upon which they relied. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to Section 78.355 of the Nevada Private Corporations Law may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally.

A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed.

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Action taken pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of Section 78.320 of the Private Corporations Law.

Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation. Except as the Private Corporations Law may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or of special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or for the removal of one or more directors and for the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause or without cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director.

Attendance of any such person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when such person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

Except as herein otherwise provided, and except as otherwise provided by the Private Corporations Law, the vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board.
