Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 78.390 provides that every amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation shall first be adopted by the resolution of the Board of Directors and then be subject to the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of voting stock entitled to vote on any such amendment.
 
NRS 78.320 provides that, unless otherwise provided in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power.

NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION
APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following actions have been approved by the written consent of the holders of shares of Common Stock, which together represents a majority of the voting power of the Company:
 
FILING A CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT AUTHORIZING 30,000,000 SHARES OF
“BLANK CHECK” PREFERRED STOCK
 
Purpose of the Amendment to Authorize Blank Check Preferred Stock.
 
Currently the Company’s Articles do not designate preferred stock.  By amending the Articles of Incorporation to authorize “blank check” preferred stock, the Board can designate different series of preferred stock to issue to investors when the Company is seeking to raise capital. In addition, the Board can issue, under certain circumstances, a new series of preferred stock as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, which could be unfavorable to our stockholders. 
 
The Board of Directors is not currently aware of any attempt to take over or acquire the Company. While it may be deemed to have potential anti-takeover effects, the Certificate of Amendment is not prompted by any specific effort or takeover threat currently perceived by management.
 
Effect of the Certificate of Amendment to Authorize Blank Check Preferred Stock
 
The Amendment to authorize blank check preferred stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, when the amendment is effective, the Board will have the authority in its absolute and sole discretion to designate series of preferred stock without requiring future stockholder approval of such designation, except as may be required by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is or may be listed. To the extent that an additional series of preferred stock is designated that is convertible into shares of common stock in the future, such issuance may decrease the existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing stockholders.
 
Shares of authorized and unissued preferred stock could, within the limits imposed by applicable law, be issued in one or more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of additional convertible preferred stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company.
 
Vote Required
 
Pursuant to NRS 78.385 and NRS 78.390, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock is sufficient to take the actions described above, which vote was obtained by written consent of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock having in the aggregate 55.91 % of the voting power of the Company. As a result, the corporate actions were approved and no further votes will be needed.
 
Effective Date
 
Under applicable federal securities laws, the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to provide for “blank check preferred stock” cannot be effective until at least 20 calendar days after this Information Statement distributed to the Company’s stockholders. The Certificate of Amendment has been filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada. However, it will become effective on the date that is the 21 st calendar day after distribution of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders.
 
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal
 
The Nevada Revised Statutes do not provide for appraisal rights in connection with the action described above.
