Information Statement Pursuant to Section
14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth, as of the
Record Date, information concerning the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock by (i) each person or group of
persons known to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, (ii) each person who is our executive
officer or director and (iii) all such executive officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership and percentage ownership
are determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership generally includes any shares as
to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power and includes any shares that an individual
or entity has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of within 60 days of the Record Date through the exercise of any option,
warrant, conversion privilege or similar right. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage
ownership of that person, shares of our common stock that could be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants
that are exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date are considered to be outstanding. These shares, however, are not considered
outstanding as of the Record Date when computing the percentage ownership of each other person, except as specifically set forth
below. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the following beneficial owner is c/o Hypersolar, Inc., 10
E. Yanonali, Suite 36, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.
To our knowledge, except as indicated
in the footnotes to the following table, all beneficial owners named in this table have sole voting and investment power with
respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

ACTION 1
Amendment
to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of shares of authorized common stock to 5,000,000,000 shares of common
stock from 3,000,000,000.
Our board of directors and the holders
of a majority of the voting securities have approved the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”)
increasing our authorized shares of Common Stock from 3,000,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares. The increase in our authorized
shares of Common Stock will become effective upon the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
We will file the Amendment approximately (but not less than) 20 days after the definitive information statement is mailed to stockholders.
The form of the Amendment to be filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada is set forth as Appendix A to this information statement.
Outstanding Shares and Purpose of the
Amendment
Our Articles of Incorporation currently
authorize us to issue a maximum of 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 per share and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
As of the Record Date, we had 1,487,065,306 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding.
The board of directors believes that the
increase in our authorized common stock will provide us with greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure for business
purposes including additional equity financings and stock based acquisitions. There will be no change to our authorized preferred
stock.
Effects of the Increase in Authorized
Common Stock
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 of directors 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, settlement of debt, 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. The Company has historically funded its operations through
the issuance of its securities in the form of convertible debt or common stock issuances. The additional shares of common stock
will allow the Company to continue to fund its operations through the issuance of convertible debt.
We could also use the additional shares
of common stock that will become available pursuant to the Amendment to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent
changes in control or management of our company. Although the board’s approval of the Amendment was not prompted by the threat
of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the board currently aware of any such attempts directed at us), nevertheless, stockholders
should be aware that the Amendment could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control of our company,
including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.
Interests of Certain Persons in the
Action
Certain of the Company’s officers
and directors have an interest in the Amendment 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 Amendment that are different from or greater than those of any other of our
stockholders.
ACTION 2
Our board of directors and the holders
of a majority of the voting securities have approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split
of our common stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-15 and not more than 1-for-50 at any time prior to the one year anniversary
of filing the definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, with the Board having the
discretion as to whether or not the Reverse Stock Split is to be effected, and with the exact ratio of any Reverse Stock Split
to be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by the Board in its discretion.
The form of the proposed amendment to the
Company’s Articles to effect a Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock will be substantially as set
forth on Appendix B (subject to any changes required by applicable law). The Reverse Stock Split proposal would
permit (but not require) our Board to effect a Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock at any time prior
to the one year anniversary of filing the definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C with respect to the Reverse Stock Split,
by a ratio of not less than 1-for-15 and not more than 1-for-50, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range
as determined by our Board in its sole discretion. We believe that enabling our Board to set the ratio within the stated range
will provide us with the flexibility to implement the Reverse Stock Split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits
for our stockholders. In determining a ratio, if any, our Board may consider, among other things, factors such as:
|
●
|
the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the then-prevailing trading price and
trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our
Common Stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the anticipated impact of a particular ratio on our ability to reduce administrative and transactional costs; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
prevailing general market and economic conditions.
|
Our Board reserves the right to elect to
abandon the Reverse Stock Split, including any or all proposed reverse stock split ratios, if it determines, in its sole discretion,
that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Depending on the ratio for the Reverse
Stock Split determined by our Board, Stockholders with less than 15 shares and no more than 50 shares of existing Common Stock,
may be combined into one share of Common Stock. Any fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole number. The Amendment
to effect the Reverse Stock Split, if any, will include only the Reverse Stock Split ratio determined by our Board to be in the
best interests of our Stockholders and all of the other proposed amendments at different ratios will be abandoned.
Background and Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split; Potential
Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
The Company currently does not have any
plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the authorized but unissued shares that would become available
as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition to increasing the market price of our Common Stock, the Reverse Stock Split
would also reduce certain of our costs, as discussed below. Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe
that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the Company’s and our Stockholders’ best interests.
Reducing the number of outstanding shares
of our Common Stock should, absent other factors, increase the per share market price of our Common Stock, although we cannot provide
any assurance that the post reverse stock split price would remain following the Reverse Stock Split.
Reducing the number of outstanding shares
of our Common Stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of
our Common Stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business
may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split,
if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our Common Stock will increase following
the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our Common Stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure
you that the market price per share of our Common Stock after a Reverse Stock Split will increase in proportion to the reduction
in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization
of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.
Procedure for Implementing the Reverse
Stock Split
The Reverse Stock Split would become effective
upon the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The exact timing of the filing of the Amendment
that will effect the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by our Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be
the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders. In addition, our Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder
approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior
to filing the Amendment, our Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests
of our stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If the Amendment effecting the Reverse Stock Split has not been filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida by the close of business on March 8, 2019, our board of directors will abandon
the Reverse Stock Split.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on
Holders of Outstanding Common Stock
As of November 25, 2019, there were 1,487,065,306
shares outstanding. Depending on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our board of directors, a minimum of 15 and
a maximum of 50 shares of existing Common Stock will be combined into one new share of Common Stock. The table below shows, as
of November 25, 2019, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that would result from the listed hypothetical Reverse Stock
Split ratios (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares):

The actual number of shares issued after
giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined
by our Board.
The Reverse Stock Split will affect all
holders of our Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any Stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company,
except that as described below in “Fractional Shares,” record holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional
share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole number. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split
will not affect any Stockholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).
The implementation of the Reverse Stock
Split will result in an increased number of available authorized shares of Common Stock. The resulting increase in such availability
in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company's Stockholders depending upon
the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase in available authorized
shares for issuance could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by
applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For
example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking
to obtain control of the Company, even if the persons seeking to obtain control of the Company offer an above-market premium that
is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied
with the Company's management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company's current management by diluting
the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Company does not have any other provisions in
its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, employment agreements, credit agreements or any other documents that have material anti-takeover
consequences. Additionally, the Company has no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that
may have material anti-takeover consequences. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control
of the Company, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti- takeover device.
Additionally, because holders of Common
Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company, the issuance of additional shares
of authorized Common Stock that will become newly available as a result of the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split will reduce
the current Stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock.
The Company may issue the additional shares
of authorized Common Stock that will become available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split without the additional approval of
its Stockholders.
The Reverse Stock Split may result in some
Stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult
to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of
transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
After the Effective Time, our Common Stock
will have new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) numbers, which is a number used to identify our
equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP numbers will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the
new CUSIP numbers by following the procedures described below. After the Reverse Stock Split, we will continue to be subject to
the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our Common Stock will continue
to be listed on the OTC Markets under the symbol “HYSR.”
Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e. Stockholders who
hold in street name)
Upon the implementation of the Reverse
Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by Stockholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner
as registered Stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed
to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our Common Stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers,
custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered Stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split.
Stockholders who hold shares of our Common Stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in
this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
Registered “Book-Entry”
Holders of Common Stock (i.e. Stockholders that are registered on the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold
stock certificates)
Certain of our registered holders of Common
Stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These Stockholders do not
have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting
the number of shares registered in their accounts.
Stockholders who hold shares electronically
in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action (the exchange will be automatic) to receive whole shares
of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, subject to adjustment for treatment of fractional shares.
Holders of Certificated Shares of Common
Stock
Until surrendered, we will deem outstanding
certificates representing shares of our Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”) held by Stockholders to be cancelled
and only to represent the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to which these Stockholders are entitled,
subject to the treatment of fractional shares. Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale,
transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for certificates representing the appropriate number of
whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock (the “New Certificates”). If an Old Certificate has a
restrictive legend on the back of the Old Certificate(s), the New Certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legends
that are on the back of the Old Certificate(s).
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY
STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Fractional Shares
We do not currently intend to issue fractional
shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, we will not issue certificates representing fractional shares. In
lieu of issuing fractions of shares, we will round up to the next whole number.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on
Employee Plans, Options, Restricted Stock Awards and Units, Warrants, and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities
Based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio
determined by the Board, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number
of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities
entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of Common Stock. This would result in approximately
the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise,
and approximately the same value of shares of Common Stock being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately
following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares deliverable
upon settlement or vesting of restricted stock awards will be similarly adjusted, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.
The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately based upon the Reverse Stock Split
ratio determined by the Board, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.
Accounting Matters
The proposed amendment to the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, will not affect the par value of our Common Stock per share, which will remain $0.001 par
value per share. As a result, as of the Effective Time, the stated capital attributable to Common Stock and the additional paid-in
capital account on our balance sheet will not change due to the Reverse Stock Split. Reported per share net income or loss will
be higher because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock
Split
The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to holders of our Common Stock:
Unless otherwise specifically indicated
herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is a citizen or individual
resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District
of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our Common Stock (a “U.S.
holder”). A trust may also be a U.S. holder if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over administration
of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a
valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person. An estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless
of its source may also be a U.S. holder. This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any
particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes
of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to
(i) persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as banks, insurance companies, thrift
institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, persons
subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies,
(ii) persons that hold our Common Stock as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging,”
“conversion” or other integrated investment transaction for federal income tax purposes, or (iii) persons that do not
hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment).
If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership
for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner
in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that
hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income
tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
This summary is based on the provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all
as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes
in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income
tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING
THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES
UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
U.S. Holders
The Reverse Stock Split should be treated
as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, a Stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss
on the Reverse Stock Split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-Reverse
Stock Split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-split
shares exchanged therefore (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding
period of the post-split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-split shares exchanged. A holder of the pre-split
shares who receives cash will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of
the pre-split shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain
or loss and will be short term if the pre-split shares were held for one year or less and long term if held more than one year.
No gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
No Appraisal Rights
Under Florida law and our charter documents,
holders of our Common Stock will not be entitled to dissenter’s rights or appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Stock
Split.
