AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER

The approval to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effectuate the Authorized Capital Increase requires the affirmative vote or written consent of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock of the Company.

 

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote per share. On the Record Date, there were 186,951,500 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. There were also 1,593,630 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “ Series A Preferred Stock ”), 200,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (“ Series B Preferred Stock ”), 4,700,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (“ Series C Preferred Stock ”) and 710,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (“ Series D Preferred Sto ck”) issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. The outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock vote on a share for share basis with our Common Stock on any matter, including but not limited to, the Corporate Action. The outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock vote together with the shares of Common Stock and other voting securities of the Company as a single class and, regardless of the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding and as long as at least one share of Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding, the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall represent eighty percent (80%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company or action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company. Each outstanding share of the Series B Preferred Stock represents its proportionate share of the 80% which is allocated to the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. All of the 200,000 outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are held by Maverick, LLC (“ Maverick ” or the “ Majority Stockholder ”). Ester Barrios has voting and dispositive control over the securities owned by Maverick. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has the equivalency of twelve (12) shares of Common Stock, and each shares of Series D Preferred Stock has the voting equivalency of ten (10) shares of Common Stock.

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED CAPITAL SOTCK

 

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “ Articles of Incorporation ”), currently authorizes the maximum number of shares outstanding at any time shall be Five Hundred Million (500,000,000) shares of Common Stock and Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock. On the Record Date, the Board of Directors and Majority Stockholder approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation (the “ Authorized Shares Amendment ”) of the Company to increase the authorized Common Stock of the Company to One Billion, Nine Hundred Fifty Million (1,950,000,000) shares of Common Stock. There will be no change to the number of authorized shares of shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock and the $0.0001 per share par value of the Company’s Common Stock and Preferred Stock will remain unchanged.

 

The form of Certificate of Amendment to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada is set forth as Appendix A to this Information Statement.

 

Common Stock

 

Pursuant to our Bylaws, our Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our Common Stock possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our Common Stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Except as otherwise provided by law or, by the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, at all meetings of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting shall be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock in one or more designated series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock from the shares of all other series and classes. Our board of directors is authorized, without stockholders’ approval, within any limitations prescribed by law and our Articles of Incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock including but not limited to the following:

 

  (a) the rate of dividend, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends are cumulative, and the date from which any dividends shall accrue;
     
  (b) whether shares may be redeemed, and, if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions of redemption;
     
  (c) the amount payable upon shares of preferred stock in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation;
     
  (d) sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares of preferred stock;
     
  (e) the terms and conditions on which shares of preferred stock may be converted, if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion;

 

     
     

 

  (f) voting powers, if any, provided that if any of the preferred stock or series thereof shall have voting rights, such preferred stock or series shall vote only on a share for share basis with our Common Stock on any matter, including but not limited to the election of directors, for which such preferred stock or series has such rights; and
     
  (g) subject to the above, such other terms, qualifications, privileges, limitations, options, restrictions, and special or relative rights and preferences, if any, of shares or such series as our board of directors may, at the time so acting, lawfully fix and determine under the Nevada Revised Statutes.

On May 7, 2014, our Board decided to amend and restate the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation originally filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on May 10, 2012; and we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on May 8, 2014, therein re-designating the class. Under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation, 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” and each share has a stated value of $0.20 per share (the “ Stated Value ). On September 11, 2015, the Company amended the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and filed an amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada.

From the respective Commencement Date (as defined below), each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“ Holder ”) shall have the right to convert each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into twenty (20) shares of Common Stock.

For shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued on or after September 11, 2015, the Commencement Date shall be October 1, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any conversion hereunder, each Holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may not convert any part of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if such conversion would cause such Holder or any of its assignees to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Common Stock of the Company.

 

Redemption. The Company may, at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time from and after the day immediately following the date the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is first issued, redeem all or any portion of, on a pro rata basis, the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for $0.40 per share (the “ Redemption Price ”):

 

Rank. Generally, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend rights, rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank senior to (i) all classes of Common Stock of the Company and (ii) any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created (unless, with the consent of the Holder(s) of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock).

 

Liquidation Preference. Except as otherwise provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes or elsewhere in the Certificate of Designation, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the Holders of shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or earnings, an amount equal to the Stated Value.

 

     
     

 

Dividends/Stock Splits. The Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends. The number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable pursuant to the conversion of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall not be adjusted to reflect any forward to reverse stock splits by the Company of its outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights. The Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote only on a share for share basis with our Common Stock on any matter, including but not limited to, the election of directors, name changes, increases in the authorized common shares and for which such preferred stock or series has such rights and as otherwise provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and below.

 

To the extent that under the Nevada Revised Statutes the vote of the Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series, as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of a majority of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be required under the Nevada Revised Statutes) shall constitute the approval of such action by the class. To the extent that under the Nevada Revised Statutes Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on a matter with Holders of Common Stock, voting together as one class, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote.

Generally, the outstanding shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock shall vote together with the shares of Common Stock and other voting securities of the Company as a single class and, regardless of the number of shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding and as long as at least one of such shares of Series B Non-Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall represent eighty percent (80%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company or action by written consent of stockholders.

On June 4, 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock. A summary of the designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the Series C Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

Conversion. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, at any time or from time to time from and after the first year anniversary of the date the Series C Preferred Stock is issued to such Holder, to convert each share (“ Share ”) of Series C Preferred Stock into twelve (12) fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company; provided, however, in connection with any conversion hereunder, each Holder of Series C Preferred Stock may not convert any part of the Series C Preferred Stock if such conversion would cause such Holder or any of its assignees to beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Common Stock of the Company.

 

     
     

 

Redemption. The Company may, at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time from and after the day immediately following the date the Series C Preferred Stock is first issued, redeem all or any portion of, on a pro rata basis, the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $0.10 per share.

Dividends/Stock Splits. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, whether such dividend or distribution is payable in cash, securities or other property, including the purchase or redemption by the Company of shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or property, but excluding any repurchases of Common Stock held by employees or consultants of the Company upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for such repurchase, the Company shall simultaneously declare and pay a dividend on the Series C Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis with the Common Stock determined on an as-converted basis assuming all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock had been converted pursuant to Section 0 as of immediately prior to the record date of the applicable dividend (or if no record date is fixed, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined).

 

The number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable pursuant to the conversion of outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall not be adjusted to reflect any forward to reverse stock splits by the Company of its outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights. To the extent that under the Nevada Revised Statutes, the vote of the Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class or series, as applicable, is required to authorize a given action of the Company, the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or by written consent of a majority of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock (except as otherwise may be required under the Nevada Revised Statutes) shall constitute the approval of such action by the class.

Reasons for the Corporate Action

 

The Board has decided to increase the Company’s authorized Common Stock for the following reasons:

 

  1. As disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended October 30, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2017, on January 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated January 31, 2017 (the “ Stock Purchase Agreement ”), with Crown Bridge Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability agreement (“ Crown Bridge ” or the “ Holder ”), pursuant to which Crown Bridge purchased a convertible promissory note in the principal sum of $120,000 (the “ Principal Amount ”) from the Company, bearing interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (the “ Note ”). The consideration to the Company for the Note is up to $102,000 (the “ Consideration ”). The principal sum under the Note shall be prorated upon the consideration actually paid by Crown Bridge, the applicable portion of the OID as well as the accrued interest. The Company is not required to repay any unfunded portion of the Note. The maturity date for each tranche of the Principal Amount funded is twelve (12) months from the effective date of each payment (each, a “ Maturity Date ”).

 

Crown Bridge has the right at any time to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the Note into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Price (as defined therein), provided, however, that in no event shall Crown Bridge be entitled to convert any portion of the Note would result in the beneficial ownership by Crown Bridge and its affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, further, however, that the limitations on conversion may be waived by Crown Bridge.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Company is required, at all times during the period that the Note is convertible, to reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock, eight (8) times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon the full conversion of the Note (based on the then Conversion Price in effect from time to time) and to irrevocably instruct the Company’s transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note. Therefore, we are required to increase the authorized Common Stock to have a sufficient amount of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Note.

 

  2. To have available additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock in an amount adequate to provide for the Company’s future needs. The unissued shares of Common Stock will be available for issuance from time to time as may be deemed advisable or required for various purposes, including the issuance of shares in connection with future financings and/or acquisition transactions. The Company is not currently a party to any definitive financing or acquisition agreements.

 

     
     

 

Effect of Authorized Capital Increase

 

The additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the right to cast one vote per share of Common Stock. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (other than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share of existing stockholders.

 

At present, the Board has no plans to issue the additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Amendment. However, it is possible that some of these additional shares could be used in the future for various other purposes without further stockholder approval, except as such approval may be required in particular cases by our charter documents, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other quotation system on which our securities may then be listed. These purposes may include: raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, establishing strategic relationships with other companies, and expanding our business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products.

 

Effective Date

 

Under Rule 14c-2, promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Authorized Shares Amendment shall be effective twenty (20) days after this Information Statement is mailed to stockholders of the Company. We anticipate the effective date to be on or about March 13, 2017.

 

Interests of Certain Persons in the Action

 

Certain of the Company’s officers and directors have an interest in the Corporate Action as a result of their ownership of shares of our Common Stock, as set forth in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below. However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in the Corporate Action that are different from or greater than those of any other of our stockholders.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, shares of our Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days of the date of the applicable table below are deemed beneficially owned by the holders of such options and warrants and are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. Subject to community property laws, where applicable, the persons or entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our Common Stock indicated as beneficially owned by them.
