AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AT
THE RATIO OF 1-FOR-1,000

 

Our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders have approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split would combine each 1,000 outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $.0001 per share, into one share of common stock, par value $.00001 per share, thus reducing the number of outstanding shares. The Reverse Stock Split would also result in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of common stock we have reserved for issuance under convertible securities with our transfer agent. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We will file the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split (the “Amendment”) approximately (but not less than) 20 days after the definitive information statement is mailed to stockholders, subject to obtaining the requisite approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

 

The form of the 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.

 

Reasons for the Reverse Split

 

The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect the Reverse Stock Split in order to (i) reduce the number of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock thereby increasing the number of shares of common stock available for issuance, (ii) reduce the number of shares of common stock we have reserved for issuance under convertible securities with our transfer agent, and (iii) increase the trading price of the common stock.

 

Currently, all of our unissued shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under outstanding convertible securities, which has curtailed our ability to engage in necessary financing activities. By effecting the Reverse Stock Split, even after giving effect to the reduction of our authorized shares of common stock as described further below, we will have a substantial number of shares of common stock available for issuance. This will allow us to resume our financing activities when needed and give us greater flexibility in considering and planning for future corporate needs. However, we do not currently have any definitive plans, arrangements, understandings or agreements regarding the issuance of the additional shares of common stock.

 

As of December 18, 2019, the closing price of our common stock was $0.0002. The Board also believes that the current price of our common stock has negatively impacted the Company’s ability to raise financing, and that an increase in the share price of the common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will make an investment in the Company’s common stock or securities convertible into common stock more attractive to potential investors.

 

Potential Disadvantages of a Reverse Stock Split

 

Reduced Market Capitalization. While we expect that the reduction in the outstanding shares of common stock will increase the market price of the common stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price of our common stock by a multiple corresponding to the reverse split ratio, or result in any permanent increase in the market price, which can be dependent upon many factors, including our financing activities, business, financial performance and prospects. Should the market price decline after the Reverse Stock Split, the percentage decline may be greater, due to the smaller number of shares outstanding, than it would have been prior to the Reverse Stock Split. In some cases the stock price of companies that have effected reverse stock splits has subsequently declined back to pre-reverse split levels. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock immediately after the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split will be maintained for any period of time or that the ratio of post- and pre-split shares will remain the same after the Reverse Stock Split is effected, or that the Reverse Stock Split will not have an adverse effect on our stock price due to the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split. A Reverse Stock Split is often viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, can lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. If the per share price does not increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, then our overall market capitalization will be reduced.

 

Increased Transaction Costs. The number of shares held by each individual shareholder will be reduced if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented. This will increase the number of shareholders who hold less than a “round lot,” or 100 shares. Typically, the transaction costs to shareholders selling “odd lots” are higher on a per share basis. Consequently, the Reverse Stock Split could increase the transaction costs to existing shareholders in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their position.

2

 

Liquidity. Although the Board believes that the decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Stock Split and the anticipated increase in the price of our common stock could encourage interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our shareholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of common stock would be issued as a result of a proposed Reverse Stock Split. Instead, shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fraction of a share of common stock will, in lieu of such fractional share, receive one whole share of common stock.

 

Outstanding Convertible Notes

 

Our outstanding convertible notes are convertible into common stock based upon a discount to the market price of our common stock at the time of conversion. Therefore, the number of shares into which the notes are convertible varies with the market price of our common stock.

 

The total principal and interest amount of our convertible notes as of December 12, 2019 was approximately $1,142,580. Amounts outstanding under our convertible notes convert into shares of common stock at fluctuating prices equal to our recent market price at the time of conversion, discounted by thirty five percent (35%) to fifty percent (50%) (depending on the terms of the particular convertible note).

 

The following table summarizes the number of shares of comment stock that could be issued upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes as of December 12, 2019, based upon a reasonable range of the recent market price of $0.0001 per share, and before giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split:

 

    Number of Shares
25% below the recent market price   25,789,765,576
50% below the recent market price   38,684,648,365
75% below the recent market price   77,369,296,729

 

Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Convertible Securities

 

We have outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at fixed conversion prices that include provisions requiring adjustments to both the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants, and the exercise prices of such warrants, in the event of a reverse stock split. For example, upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, a warrant holder that previously held a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0002 per share, would hold a warrant to purchase 100 shares at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will not have any direct effect on the conversion price of our other convertible securities (consisting of convertible notes, Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock), which convert into common stock based on the market price of our common stock on the date of conversion.

3

 

Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Available Shares for Issuance

 

Because all of our unissued shares of common stock are currently reserved for issuance under convertible securities, we do not have shares of common stock available for issuance. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, even after giving effect to the reduction in our authorized shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares as described further below, we will have a significant number of shares of common stock available for future issuance. The following table summarizes the principal effects of the Reverse Stock Split, after giving effect to the reduction of our authorized shares of common stock, on our common stock outstanding, authorized and reserved for issuance:

 

Shares of Common Stock   Pre-Actions     Post-Actions  
Issued and outstanding     4,474,351,026       4,474,351  
Reserved for issuance upon conversion of notes, warrants, and preferred stock     5,525,648,974       5,525,649  
Reserved for issuance pursuant to current and planned acquisitions     0       0  
Authorized and unreserved     0       990,000,000  

 

Implementation and Effect of the Reverse Stock Split

 

We expect that following the Reverse Stock Split we would have the same number of stockholders and, except for the rounding of fractional shares as described above, the completion of the Reverse Stock Split would not affect any shareholder’s proportionate equity interest in the Company. By way of example, a shareholder who owns a number of shares that prior to the Reverse Stock Split representing one-half of a percent of the outstanding shares of common stock would continue to own one-half of a percent of the outstanding shares of common stock after the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Exchange of Stock Certificates. Following the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, holders of stock certificates representing our common stock may, but will not be required to, contact our stock transfer agent, New Horizon Transfer, regarding the procedure for surrendering certificates representing pre-split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-split shares. Holders of certificates will not receive a new stock certificate representing post-split shares until the outstanding certificate(s) representing such holder’s pre-split shares have been surrendered to our transfer agent. We will not issue scrip or fractional shares, or certificates for fractional shares, in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Should you be entitled to receive fractional shares because you hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the relevant reverse split number selected by our Board of Directors, you will receive one whole share of common stock instead of such fractional share. PLEASE DO NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE.

 

Effect of Failure to Exchange Stock Certificates. Upon the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada, each certificate representing shares of our common stock outstanding prior to the that time will, unless and until surrendered and exchanged as described above, be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the whole number of shares of our common stock into which the shares of our common stock evidenced by such certificate have been converted by the Reverse Stock Split.

 

No Appraisals Rights

 

Under the Nevada law, you will not be entitled to appraisal rights upon our implementation of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following description of the material federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split is based on the Internal Revenue Code, applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, judicial authority and current administrative rulings and practices as in effect on the date of this proxy statement. Changes to the laws could alter the tax consequences described below, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion is for general information only and does not discuss the tax consequences that may apply to special classes of taxpayers (e.g., non-resident aliens, broker/dealers or insurance companies). The state and local tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split may vary significantly as to each shareholder, depending upon the jurisdiction in which such shareholder resides. We urge shareholders to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular consequences to them.

 

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. The aggregate tax basis of the post-split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-split shares exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the post-split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-split shares exchanged.

 

We will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO DECREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
FROM 10,000,000,000, PAR VALUE $.0001 PER SHARE
TO 1,000,000,000, PAR VALUE $.00001 PER SHARE

 

Our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders have approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to decrease our authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000,000, par value $.0001 per share, to 1,000,000,000, par value $.00001 per share. The decrease 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, subject to obtaining the requisite approval from FINRA to the Reverse Stock Split.

 

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.

 

Reasons for and Effect of the Decrease in Authorized Shares

 

We currently have 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 4,474,351,026 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 18, 2019 and 5,525,648,974 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under convertible securities. Following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, we will have approximately 4,474,351 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 5,525,649 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under convertible securities. We do not anticipate that for the foreseeable future following the Reverse Split we will need to have 10,000,000,000 shares authorized. We believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to have a reasonable number of authorized shares of common stock available for future issuances. The decrease in the number of our authorized shares of common stock will not have any effect on our authorized or issued shares of preferred stock or our convertible securities.

 

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES AND SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

 

The following table and footnotes thereto sets forth information regarding the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by (i) each director and named executive officer of our company, (ii) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and (iii) all named executive officers and directors of the Company as a group. In calculating any percentage in the following table of common stock beneficially owned by one or more persons named therein, the following table assumes 4,474,351.026 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Unless otherwise further indicated in the following table, the persons and entities named in the following table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the shareholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable. Unless as otherwise indicated in the following table and/or the footnotes thereto, the address of each person beneficially owning in excess of 5% of the outstanding common stock named in the following table is: 175 Joerschke Dr., Ste. A, Grass Valley, CA 95945.

(1) Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the date of this report.

 

(2) Mr. Hylen also holds all 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each of which entitles him to cast four times the votes of all of our outstanding shares of common stock. When the 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are taken into account, Mr. Hylen accounts for more than 99% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock.

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS

 

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, holders of shares of common stock are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to any aspect of the Amendment, and we will not independently provide holders with any such right.

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE AMENDMENTS

 

No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Amendment which is not shared by all other holders of the shares of our common stock.
