ACTION APPROVED

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO

EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Our Board of Directors has adopted a resolution authorizing it to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of our common stock at a ratio of one-for-two hundred. Stockholders holding a majority of the voting rights related to our outstanding shares of our common stock and Series C preferred stock, representing 51.44% of the shares to be voted, have also approved the Reverse Split by written consent. The par value of our common stock will remain $0.001 per share and the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued will remain at 250,000,000.

Our Board believes that the Reverse Split is in our best interests, principally because it may increase the bid price of our common stock and facilitate our ability to attract investment. The current bid price of our common stock on the OTCQB was $0.0051 on November 16, 2016. Our Board believes that conducting the Reverse Split may increase our ability to attract investment, as our Board also believes that we need to seek additional financing to fund our business plan and that the Reverse Split is a necessary pre-requisite to conducting financings.

Our Board also believes that the current price of our common stock impairs an efficient market in our common stock. This is due to several factors that impact lower priced stocks, including (1) a reluctance among certain institutions and investors to invest in low priced securities, (2) internal restrictions imposed by many securities firms on the solicitation of orders for low priced stocks by stockbrokers, (3) the ineligibility of our common stock for margin loans due to its low share price, (4) a reluctance among analysts to write research reports on low priced stocks due to the preceding factors, and (5) high transaction costs relative to share price due to the prevailing rule that commissions charged on the purchase and sale of stock, as a percentage of share price, are higher on lower priced stocks.

There can be no assurance that if we effect the Reverse Split we will successfully complete a financing.

Our Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Split will have the effect of increasing the market price per share of our common stock and, while the Board believes that the Reverse Split will not immediately alleviate all the above factors, it does believe that such increase may, over time, alleviate some or all of the factors noted above and lead to a more efficient market in our common stock. In addition, an increase in the per share price of our common stock may also generate greater investor interest in our common stock, thereby possibly enhancing the marketability of our common stock to the financial community.

The immediate effect of the Reverse Split will be to reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock from approximately 155,721,443 to approximately 778,607 (based on a one-for-two hundred ratio). In addition to our outstanding shares of common stock, we have approximately 116,035,000 shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding and warrants and convertible securities. Upon completion of the Reverse Split, this number of shares reserved for issuance would be reduced to 580,175. The par value of our common stock will remain $0.001 per share and the number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued will remain at 250,000,000. The Reverse Split will not reduce or affect our authorized preferred shares.

The following table sets forth the effects of the Reverse Split on our outstanding and authorized capital:

(1) Includes 60,000 shares of Series C preferred stock and 49,691,682 shares of Series A preferred stock currently outstanding.

.

In addition, (i) proportionate adjustments will be made to the per-share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants entitling the holders to purchase shares of our common stock, which will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid for such options and warrants upon exercise immediately as would have been required immediately preceding the Reverse Split, and (ii) the number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of conversion rights by holders of securities convertible into our common stock will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio of one for two hundred.

The Reverse Split will affect all of the holders of our common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that will result from the rounding up of fractional shares as discussed below. Our outstanding options and warrants contain provisions that are intended to protect the holders against dilution of the holders’ percentage interest in our company and that also effect a reduction in the exercise price of the option in the event our shares are issued at less than the option exercise price.

The current number of holders of record of our common stock is approximately 475. Following the Reverse Split, the number of our stockholders of record will remain approximately 475, as any of our stockholders with less than one share will be rounded up in the exchange to one share.

Although the Reverse Split may increase the per share market price of our common stock, an increase in price can neither be assured nor calculated with certainty. The per share market price of our common stock may not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split and such per share market price may be less than the proportionate increase in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split. There can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will lead to a sustained increase in the per share market price of our common stock or that the factors discussed above that we believe impair an efficient market in our common stock will be alleviated.

Stockholders should also be aware that the Reverse Split may result in a decrease in the trading volume of the common stock due to the decrease in the number of outstanding shares. The per share market price of our common stock may also change as a result of other unrelated factors, including our business activities performance and other factors related to our business as well as general market conditions.

No Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split will receive one whole share of our common stock in lieu of the fractional share. No stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

Authorized Shares

The Reverse Split would affect all issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and outstanding rights to acquire our common stock. Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, the number of authorized shares of our common stock that are not issued or outstanding would increase due to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. As of November 16, 2016, we had 250,000,000 shares of authorized common stock and 155,656,433 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. We will continue to have 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. Authorized but unissued shares will be available for issuance, and we may issue such shares in the future. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interest of holders of our common stock will be diluted.

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Split

we will promptly file a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to amend our existing Certificate of Incorporation. The Reverse Split will become effective on the date of filing the Certificate of Amendment, which is referred to as the "effective date." Beginning on the effective date, each certificate representing pre-Reverse Split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Split shares. The text of the Certificate of Amendment is set forth in Exhibit A to this information statement. The Certificate of Amendment has received the unanimous approval of our Board of Directors and has also been approved by stockholders holding a majority of the voting rights of our outstanding shares of common and preferred stock. The text of the Certificate of Amendment is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and as the Board of Directors deems necessary and advisable to effect the Reverse Split.

The Reverse Split will take place on the effective date without any action on the part of the holders of our common stock and without regard to current certificates representing shares of our common stock being physically surrendered for certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock each stockholder is entitled to receive as a result of the Reverse Split. New certificates for shares of our common stock will not be issued at this time. Stockholders who hold shares in certificated form should not do anything with their certificates at this time.

Effect on Registered and Beneficial Stockholders

Upon a Reverse Split, we intend to treat stockholders holding our common stock in "street name", through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Split. If you hold your shares with a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your nominee.

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

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect

The Reverse Split could adversely affect the ability of third parties to takeover or change the control of the our company by, for example, permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of our company with another company. Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, the Reverse Split is not in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or obtain control of our company, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to the our Board and stockholders.

No Appraisal Rights

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Split, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Split will not affect the par value of our common stock. As a result, as of the effective time of the Reverse Split, the stated capital attributable to our common stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio selected by the Board of Directors, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per-share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock will be restated because there will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split, does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split and is included for general information only. Further, it does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences. Also, it does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The discussion is based on the provisions of the United States federal income tax law as of the date hereof, which is subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively. This summary also assumes that the pre-Reverse Split shares were, and the post-Reverse Split shares will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (i.e., generally, property held for investment). The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder's own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Split. As used herein, the term United States holder means a stockholder that is, for federal income tax purposes: a citizen or resident of the United States; a corporation or other entity taxed as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State of the United States or the District of Columbia; an estate the income of which is subject to federal income tax regardless of its source; or a trust if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange of pre-Reverse Split shares for post-Reverse Split shares pursuant to the Reverse Split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Split shares received in the Reverse Split will be the same as the stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Split shares exchanged therefor. The stockholder's holding period for the post-Reverse Split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-Reverse Split shares surrendered in the Reverse Split.

Our view regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts.

ACCORDINGLY, EACH STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE REVERSE SPLIT.
