Changes
in Control
There
are no present contractual arrangements or pledges of our securities that may result in a change in control of the Company.
VOTE
REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL AND EFFECTIVE DATE
Nevada
Law
Pursuant
to the Nevada Revised Statutes, amendments to the Articles of Incorporation are required to be approved by a majority of the votes
of our shareholders entitled to vote on the matter. This approval could be obtained either by the written consent of the holders
of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities, or it could be considered by our shareholders at a special shareholders’
meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the name change. The Company’s voting securities consist of common
stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on
any matter requiring shareholder vote, each share of Series A Preferred Stock has 1,000 votes per each share on any matters requiring
shareholder vote, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock has 10,000,000,000 votes per each share on any matters requiring
a shareholder vote.
In
order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors voted to utilize
the written consent of the majority shareholders. The elimination of the need for a meeting of shareholders to approve this action
is made possible by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as may be amended, which provides that the written consent
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having no less than the minimum number of votes
which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present.
Resolutions
to effect the amendments were unanimously adopted by our Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholder on December 28, 2017.
The Majority Shareholder owns 98.2389% of the votes for our outstanding voting securities. No other votes or consents are required
or necessary to affect the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation.
Effective
Date of Amendment
The
effective date of the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation will be on the opening of business on January 31, 2018, or a
date that is 21 days from the mailing of this Information Statement to our shareholders, subject to the filing of Articles of
Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada, Division of Corporations.
AMENDMENT
TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES
The
Authorized Increase Amendment is being sought to enhance corporate flexibility and to advance the Company’s business plan.
We believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we likely will need to raise investment capital and it may
be preferable or necessary to issue and sell additional shares of our common stock to raise such capital, and/or to retain key
personnel. In addition, we believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy, we may need to make one or more
acquisitions, and in such event it may be preferable or necessary to issue additional shares as a part of such acquisition transactions.
Accordingly, in order to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company, the
Authorized Increase Amendment will increase the authorized shares of common stock to 10,000,000,000 shares. As of December 28,
2017 the Company did not have any executed definitive agreement to issue shares of its common stock in order to raise capital
or make an acquisition (aside from certain obligations to issue conversion shares pursuant to the terms of certain Convertible
Notes outstanding, the details of which have been previously reported on Form 8K).
The
Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The amendment to increase the authorized shares of common
stock would not affect the number of preferred shares the Company is authorized to issue.
Management
believes that this increase in authorized shares will allow the Company to have sufficient shares available now and in the foreseeable
future to provide for raising additional capital and/or acquisitions for the benefit of our shareholders. By taking this action
now to increase the authorized common shares, it prevents us from possibly having to incur these same costs associated with increasing
the authorized shares multiple times in the future as the needs may develop, saving our shareholders money in the future. By having
taken this action, management now will have sufficient common shares available as the need develops, but is not currently obligated
to issue some, part, or any of the additional authorized shares.
The
Authorized Increase Amendment may have the effect of preventing or delaying the acquisition by third parties of a controlling
interest in us, even though the Majority Shareholder owns approximately 98.2389% of our currently outstanding voting securities.
Our ability to issue a vastly increased number of voting securities may lead to an increase in the number of votes required in
order to approve a future change in control and may make it substantially more difficult for third parties to gain control of
us through a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or other transaction. The ability to prevent a change in control may deprive
our shareholders of any benefits that may result from such a change in control, including the potential realization of a premium
over the market price for our common stock that such a transaction may cause. Furthermore, the issuance of a large block of additional
shares to parties who may be deemed “friendly” to our Board of Directors may make it more difficult to remove incumbent
directors from office, even if such removal would benefit our common shareholders. Despite these potential anti-takeover effects,
however, the Board of Directors believed that the financial flexibility afforded by this increase in our authorized common stock
outweighs any potential disadvantages. Our management and our Board of Directors have no present intention to use the increased
number of authorized common shares for any anti-takeover purpose.
Our
issuance of any additional shares of our common stock in the future may dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per
share of our existing common shareholders. Such dilution may be substantial, depending on the number of shares issued. Any newly
authorized shares of common stock will have voting and other rights identical to those of the currently authorized shares of common
stock.
The
cost of preparing, printing and mailing this Schedule 14C and all other costs in connection with amendment of the Articles will
be paid by the Company.
DISSENTERS’
RIGHTS
There
are no dissenters’ rights applicable with respect to the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation.
INTEREST
OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No
director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any
other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the amendments to our Articles
of Incorporation, which is not shared by all other shareholders.

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
as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly
upon written 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 11678 N. Huron Street, Northglenn, CO 80234.
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 the
Company at, its principal executive offices. 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 Company’s
principal executive offices.
This
Information Statement is provided to the holders of Common Stock of the Company only for information purposes in connection with
the Actions, pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act. Please carefully read this Information Statement.
