INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

Concerning Corporate Action Authorized by Written Consent of Stockholders

 

 

 

No vote or other action of our stockholders is required in connection

with this Information Statement. We are not asking you for a proxy,

and you are requested not to send us a proxy.

 

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation, to advise them of the corporate actions described herein, which have been authorized by the written consent of stockholders owning a majority of our voting stock, in accordance with the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

This Information Statement will first be mailed to stockholders on or about June 14, 2019, and is being furnished for informational purposes only.

 

Our board of directors has determined that the close of business on June 14, 2019, was the record date for the stockholders entitled to notice of the actions authorizing the amendment to our certificate of incorporation: (i) to authorize the board of directors to combine up to 200 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, into one share of validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable common stock, par value $0.001, at any time within one year of the date of the authorization, at the board’s discretion (the “ Reverse Split ”); (ii) to authorize the board of directors to issue, without stockholder action and within the limits of Delaware General Corporation Law, in one or more series, shares of any class of stock; and (iii) to consolidate our previous amendments. A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in substantially the form that will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, is attached hereto as Appendix A (the “ Shareholder Actions ”). On January 24, 2019, our board of directors and stockholders holding shares entitling them to a majority of the voting power, respectively, approved the Shareholder Actions in writing.

 

Under Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, any action required or permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law to be taken at a meeting of stockholders of a Delaware corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if consents in writing setting forth the action so taken are signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power. No stockholder meeting was required, and no other stockholder approval is required.

 

Stockholders owning of record 231,306,187 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 52.2% of our outstanding shares of voting stock as of January 24, 2019, executed and delivered to us a written consent authorizing and approving the Shareholder Actions.

Accordingly, the Shareholder Actions have been approved by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of voting stock, and no further vote or further action of our stockholders is required to approve these actions. On January 24, 2019, our board of directors authorized management to deliver this Information Statement. You are being provided with notice of the approval of the Shareholder Actions by less than unanimous written consent of our stockholders. However, under Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Shareholder Actions will not be effective until 20 days after this Information Statement has first been sent to stockholders.

 

Our executive offices are located at 14699 Holman Mountain Road, Jamestown, CA 95327 and our telephone number is (209) 881-3523.

SHAREHOLDER ACTIONS

 

The Reverse Split

 

Our board of directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of voting stock have authorized the board to effect a reverse split of our common stock in any amount up to 200-to-one at any time within one year of the date of the authorization, at the board’s discretion. The authorization will become effective 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

 

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation (as amended to date), we had authorized capital of 775,000,000 shares, consisting of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001.

 

As of January 24, 2019: (i) 442,898,825 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and 305,137,384 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of promissory notes and exercise of outstanding warrants; (ii) 47,300 shares of Series B 12% Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding; and (iii) an aggregate of $237,100 in principal amount of convertible notes was outstanding, convertible into approximately 295,275,000 shares of common stock, based on our closing trading price on that date of $0.0019 per share, a 20-day low of $0.0012 per share, and an assumed weighted average discount rate of 50% below the market price applicable to the convertible notes.

 

As of June 10, 2019: (i) 493,985,986 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and 255,568,512 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of promissory notes and exercise of outstanding warrants; (ii) none of the shares of Series B 12% Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding; and (iii) an aggregate of $1,800,018 in principal amount of convertible notes were outstanding, convertible into approximately 716,821,400 shares of common stock, based on our closing trading price on that date of $0.0005 per share, a 20-day low of $0.0004 per share, and an assumed weighted average discount rate of 40% below the market price applicable to the convertible notes.

 

Certain noteholders are converting at such a rapid pace that we are unable to accommodate the reserve shares requirement from our unissued shares. We do not have the financial resources to repay the noteholders at this time nor enough time to facilitate new funding to stop the conversions that continue to lower the price of our stock in the market, which increases the reserves needed to supply the conversions. Our 750,000,000 authorized shares of common stock will be consumed rapidly if we are not able to stop this trend. Therefore, it is the consensus of management and the shareholders to authorize a reverse split of our common stock in order to increase the price per share in the market and to reduce the outstanding number.

 

Filing an Amendment and Restatement

 

We seek to amend and restate our certificate of incorporation to remove any ambiguity respecting the authority of our board of directors to issue, without stockholder action and within the limits of Delaware General Corporation Law, in one or more series, shares of any class of our stock. In addition, we believe an amendment and restatement would be helpful to our stockholders and potential investors by consolidating our previous amendments.

Potential Anti-takeover Effect

 

Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our board of directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of us with another entity), the resulting increase in our available shares of common stock is not part of such a plan. Nevertheless, management could use the additional shares that will be available following the reverse split to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction to acquire control of us. Although our board of directors has no present intention of doing so, our authorized but unissued common stock could be issued in one or more transactions that would make a takeover of us more difficult or costly and, therefore, less likely.

 

After the Shareholder Actions are effective, generally, no stockholder approval would be necessary for the issuance of all or any portion of the additional shares of common stock unless required by any law, rules, or regulations to which we are subject.

 

Depending upon the consideration per share received by us for any subsequent issuance of common stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on those stockholders who paid a higher consideration per share for their stock. Also, future issuances of common stock will increase the number of outstanding shares, thereby decreasing the percentage ownership (for voting, distributions, and all other purposes) represented by existing shares of common stock. Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive rights to acquire any additional securities issued by us.

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR

IN OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

 

No person who has served as our officer or director since the beginning of our last fiscal year or any associates of such person have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the Shareholder Actions, other than the interest held by such persons through their respective stock ownership of the shares of our capital stock set forth above in the section entitled “Principal Stockholders.”

 

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

 

Only one Information Statement to security holders is being delivered to multiple security holders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the security holders. Upon written or oral request, a separate copy of an Information Statement can be provided to security holders at a shared address. To request a separate copy, please contact our corporate secretary at 14699 Holman Mountain Road, Jamestown, CA 95327.
