IEG
HOLDINGS CORPORATION
Information
Statement Pursuant to Section 14C
of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
This
Information Statement is being mailed on or about November 14, 2016, to all holders of record on October 28, 2016, of the $.001
par value common stock of IEG Holdings Corporation, a Florida corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the
vote of our Board of Directors and the approval by written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our issued
and outstanding capital stock to effect an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 to 300,000,000
(the “Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock”).
Currently,
the Company has authorized 40,000,000 shares of common stock. As of October 28, 2016, there were 678 stockholders of record of
our common stock and 9,661,547 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of our common stock has one
vote per share. Paul Mathieson, our Chief Executive Officer, owns 6,900,000 shares of our common stock, which represents approximately
71.4% of the voting power of our issued and outstanding capital stock. Our Board of Directors and Mr. Mathieson approved the Increase
in Authorized Shares of Common Stock by actions by written consent on October 28, 2016. Since our Board of Directors and the holder
of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock have voted in favor of
the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock, all corporate actions necessary to authorize the Increase in Authorized Shares
of Common Stock have been taken.
The
Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock will be effective on or about December 5, 2016 (the “Effective Date”),
which date shall be no sooner than 20 days after we mail this Information Statement to our stockholders. Our Board retains the
authority to abandon the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock for any reason at any time prior to the Effective Date.
Because the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock have already been approved by holders of a majority of our outstanding
shares of common stock, you are not required to take any action. This Information Statement provides to you notice that the Increase
in Authorized Shares of Common Stock have been approved. You will receive no further notice of the approval nor of the Effective
Date of the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock other than pursuant to reports which we will be required to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in the future.
Our
common stock is traded over the counter on the OTCQX under the symbol IEGH. On November 9, 2016, the closing price for our common
stock as reported on the OTCQX was $2.50 per share with respect to an insignificant volume of shares.
WE
ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
APPRAISAL
RIGHTS
Stockholders
do not have appraisal rights under Florida state law or under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws in connection
with the Corporate Action.
INCREASE
IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Our
Board of Directors and holder of the majority voting power of our issued and outstanding capital stock have approved an amendment
to the Restated Articles to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 40,000,000 to 300,000,000. Our Board
believes it is in the best interest of our company to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock in order to give
us greater flexibility in considering and planning for future corporate needs, including, but not limited to, stock dividends,
grants under equity compensation plans, stock splits, financings, potential strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions
and business combinations, as well as other general corporate transactions. The Board believes that additional authorized shares
of common stock will enable us to take timely advantage of market conditions and favorable financing and acquisition opportunities
that become available to us. We do not have any definitive plans, arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding the issuance
of the additional shares of common stock that will result from our adoption of the proposed amendment. Except as otherwise required
by law, the newly authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at the discretion of our Board (without further
action by the stockholders) for various future corporate needs, including those outlined above. While adoption of the proposed
amendment would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of existing stockholders,
any future issuance of additional authorized shares of our common stock may, among other things, dilute the earnings per share
of our common stock and the equity and voting rights of those holding common stock at the time the additional shares are issued.
Any
newly authorized shares of common stock will be identical to the shares of common stock now authorized and outstanding. The proposed
amendment will not affect the rights of current holders of our common stock, none of whom have preemptive or similar rights to
acquire the newly authorized shares.
The
Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock will be effective on or about December 5, 2016 (the “Effective Date”),
which date shall be no sooner than 20 days after we mail this Information Statement and accompanying notice to our stockholders.
Our Board retains the authority to abandon the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock for any reason at any time prior
to the Effective Date.
The
form of the proposed amendment to our Restated Articles necessary to effect the Increase in Authorized Shares of common stock
is attached hereto as
Appendix A

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
We
are subject to the disclosure requirements of the Exchange Act, and in accordance therewith, file reports, information statements
and other information, including annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, with the SEC. Reports and other
information filed by us can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street,
N.E., Washington, DC 20549. Copies of such material can also be obtained upon written request addressed to the SEC, Public Reference
Section, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549 at prescribed rates. In addition, the SEC maintains a web site on the Internet

DELIVERY
OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS
If
hard copies of the materials are requested, we will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders
who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known

or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the
Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating
(i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information
Statement, to the Company at 6160 West Tropicana Ave., Suite E-13, Las Vegas, NV 89103, ATTN: Paul Mathieson or calling the Company

If
multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and
would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call us
at, the address and phone number in the preceding paragraph. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received
multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future
mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the address
or phone number provided in the preceding paragraph.
MISCELLANEOUS
Additional
copies of this Information Statement may be obtained at no charge by writing to us at 6160 West Tropicana Ave., Suite E-13, Las
Vegas, NV 89103.
NO
ADDITIONAL ACTION IS REQUIRED BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ACTION. HOWEVER, SECTION 14C OF THE EXCHANGE ACT REQUIRES
THE MAILING TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS OF THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT AT LEAST 20 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EARLIEST
DATE ON WHICH THE CORPORATE ACTION MAY BE TAKEN.
