GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO CONDUCT A 1-FOR-50 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF NEXT 1’S COMMON STOCK.

 

Purpose: Next 1’s Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Board of Directors to effectuate a 1-for-50 reverse stock split. The Stock Split would reduce the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. The Board of Directors has determined that it would be in Next 1’s best interest to conduct a reverse stock split of its common stock on a 1-for-50 basis and has received the consent of the holders of in excess of a majority of the voting power of Next 1’s securities to authorize the Board of Directors to conduct such a reverse stock split.  

 

The primary purposes of the Stock Split would be to increase the per share price of Next 1’s common stock. Prior to the reverse stock split, the common stock, which is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, has traded at very low prices for some time. We believe that if we are successful in maintaining a higher stock price, the stock will generate greater interest among professional investors and institutions. If we are successful in generating interest among such entities, we anticipate that our common stock would have greater liquidity and a stronger investor base.

 

In evaluating the Stock Split, the Company's Board of Directors also took into consideration negative factors associated with reverse stock splits. These factors include the negative perception of reverse stock splits held by many investors, analysts and other stock market participants, as well as the fact that the stock price of some companies that have effected reverse stock splits has subsequently declined back to pre-reverse stock split levels. The Board of Directors, however, determined that these negative factors were outweighed by the potential benefits.

 

For the above reasons, the Board of Directors believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of Next 1 and its stockholders.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Stock Split will have the desired benefits. Even if a reverse stock split is effected, some or all of the expected benefits discussed above may not be realized or maintained. The market price of Next 1’s common stock will continue to be based, in part, on Next 1’s performance and other factors unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. There can be no assurance that the market price per share of Next 1’s common stock after a reverse stock split will increase or remain in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Next 1’s common stock outstanding before the Stock Split.

 

Effects: The Stock Split will provide for the combination of the presently issued and outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of identical common stock without reducing the number of shares of available but unissued common stock, which will also have the effect of increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.  Fifty (50) shares of the presently issued and outstanding common stock on the effective date of the Stock Split will convert into one share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. The Stock Split will affect all common stockholders uniformly and will have no impact on the par value.    A reverse stock split would effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of Next 1’s outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio. Additionally, the exercise price of outstanding options and conversion price of convertible securities would increase, likewise in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio. In connection with the Stock Split, the Board of Directors will also make a corresponding reduction in the number of shares available with respect to options granted under our Option Plan so as to avoid the effect of increasing the value of options previously granted.

The Board of Directors has indicated that fractional shares will not be issued.  Instead, Next 1 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.  

The Board of Directors 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, if the security holders should request conversion.

The Stock Split will be effected by filing an amendment to Next 1’s Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State’s office and will become effective upon such filing, which is expected to occur promptly after the mailing of this Information Statement and the 20 day waiting period.

Next 1 is currently authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of its common stock of which 23,583,347 shares are currently issued and outstanding and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock are authorized of which (i) 3,000,000 are designated as Series A preferred stock and 1,884,611 shares of Series A preferred stock are outstanding, 3,000,000 are designated Series B preferred stock and 242,200 shares of Series B preferred stock are outstanding, 3,000,000 shares of Series C preferred stock and 209,600 shares of Series C preferred stock outstanding and 3,000,000 shares of Series D preferred stock and 872,800 shares of Series D preferred stock outstanding. The outstanding shares of Next 1 Series A preferred stock are entitled to vote along with the common stockholders on a one vote per share basis and will continue after the Stock Split to have one vote per each share of Series A preferred stock outstanding, thus resulting in a slight increase in the voting power of the Series A preferred stock after the Stock Split.  The Series B, C and D preferred stock are non-voting.

 

Currently, stockholders holding 6,842 shares of common stock and 1,884,611 shares of Series A preferred stock which represents 188,461,100 votes representing approximately 90% of the voting rights have consented in writing to the proposal.

 

The Stock Split will affect all common stockholders 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 Next 1’s 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 50, with an adjustment for any fractional shares.  (Fractional shares will be rounded up into a whole share).   A reverse stock split on a 1-for-50 basis would reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock to approximately 471,667, but will not reduce the number of preferred shares outstanding or authorized shares of common stock. Although the number of shares into which the Next 1 Series A, B, C and D preferred stock is convertible will be reduced, the percentage of the outstanding shares of common stock into which the Next 1 Series A, B, C and D preferred stock will be convertible will not change.  

 

Each common stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in Next 1 will remain virtually unchanged on the date that the Stock 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.  

 

As a result of the proposal to conduct the Stock Split, Next 1 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 Next 1. The Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock to approximately 471,667; however, the authorized shares will remain at 500,000,000 and the issuance of the remaining 499,528,333 would have a material dilutive effect upon existing stockholders. These additional shares may be issued in the future for a variety of corporate purposes including, but not limited to, raising additional capital, corporate acquisitions, and equity incentive plans. Except for a stock split or stock dividend, future issuances of common stock will dilute the voting power and ownership of our existing stockholders and, depending on the amount of consideration received in connection with the issuance, could also reduce stockholders’ equity on a per share basis.

 

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 Next 1 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 Next 1 if such transactions were opposed by the Board of Directors.

 

2
 

 

 

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 Next 1’s common stock that is outstanding on the effective date of the Stock Split may contact Next 1’s transfer agent to exchange the certificates for new certificates representing the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split common stock into which the existing shares have been converted as a result of the Stock Split.

 

EXISTING CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO NEXT 1 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 Next 1 common stock to the transfer agent and receives in return a new certificate representing shares of Next 1 common stock, such stockholder's existing common stock shall be deemed equal to the number of shares of Next 1 common stock to which such stockholder is entitled as a result of the Stock Split.

 

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 Next 1 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 Amendments. 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.

 

Next 1 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, Next 1 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.

GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE CORPORATION

 

Purpose: The Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to amend the Articles of Incorporation to change the Corporation’s name to “Monaker Group, Inc.” The Board of Directors believes that the name Next 1 Interactive no longer has any relevance to its travel and employment business and that the word “Monaker” which represents a signature or a mark, is more reflective of its business objectives, one of which is to put a mark on the travel and employment industry. 

 

Based on the foregoing, the Board of Directors also believes that the new name is more accurately aligned with the business strategy of the Corporation.

 

Effect: A change to the Corporation’s name will most likely result in a change to the Corporation’s ticker symbol and CUSIP number.  Stockholders will not be required to tender their shares for reissuance; however, shares that are submitted to the transfer agent for whatever reason will be reissued under the new name and CUSIP number.  Stockholders should not encounter difficulty in selling or transferring shares as a result of the change in name, CUSIP number or ticker symbol.  

 

No Dissenters' Rights: The holders of the Corporation’s common stock are not entitled to dissenters' rights in connection with the name change. Furthermore, the Corporation does not intend to independently provide those stockholders with any such rights.
