Date first mailed to stockholders: November
[*], 2020
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT
This information statement (the “Information
Statement”) has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is being mailed or otherwise
furnished to the registered shareholders of Inspyr Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,”
or “us”), solely for the purpose of informing you, as one of our shareholders on the Record Date (as defined below),
in the manner required under Regulation 14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that the holders
of a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding Common Stock have executed a written consent approving certain
corporate actions described herein. All of these corporate actions described herein have also been approved by the Company’s
board of directors (“Board”).
The proposed corporate actions were approved
by a joint written consent (“Written Consent”) of the Board and Ridgeway Therapeutics, Inc., the holder of 65,000,000
shares of Common Stock (“Majority Shareholder”) on October 6, 2020 (“Written Consent Date”). The Majority
Shareholder holds a majority of the voting power of our Capital Stock entitled to vote on the proposed actions as of the Written
Consent Date. October 6, 2020 is the record date (“Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders who are entitled
to receive this Information Statement.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE INFORMATION STATEMENT?
This Information Statement is being furnished
to you pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to notify the Company’s shareholders
as of the close of business on the Record Date of corporate actions taken by a majority of the voting power of the Company’s
Capital Stock entitled to vote on the action. Shareholders holding a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding
Common Stock have voted in favor of the proposal set forth herein.
WHO IS ENTITLED TO NOTICE?
With regard to the Proposals contained
herein, each holder of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the close of business on the Record Date is entitled
to notice of the matter voted on by the shareholders. Ridgeway Therapeutics, Inc., the holder of (i) 65,000,000 shares of Common
Stock, as of the close of business on the Written Consent Date, held the authority to votes cast, which constitute in excess of
fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s outstanding voting power and has voted in favor of the proposal herein. Under Delaware
law, stockholder approval may be taken by obtaining the written consent and approval of more than 50% of the holders of voting
power of our Capital Stock entitled to vote, in lieu of a meeting of the shareholders.
WHAT CONSTITUTES THE VOTING SHARES OF THE COMPANY?
As of the Written Consent Date, the Company’s
securities entitled to vote on the action consisted of 120,065,657 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock was entitled
to one (1) vote per share. No preferred stock was entitled to vote on these matters, despite our Series D 0% Convertible Preferred
Stock, and Series E 0% Convertible Preferred Stock generally having rights to vote on all matters with our Common Stock holders
since these matters relate to Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL and require the vote of a majority of the outstanding class of shares
affected (the Common Stock).
WHAT CORPORATE MATTERS WERE APPROVED?
Shareholders holding a majority of our voting Common Stock have
voted in favor of the following proposal:
The amendment and restatement
of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to (i) increase the Company’s authorized Common Stock from 150,000,000
shares to 1,000,000,000 shares and (ii) increase or decrease (but not below the number of
shares of such class outstanding) the number of authorized shares of the class of Common Stock or Preferred Stock by the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation irrespective of
the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
The foregoing proposal has been approved
and is discussed in further detail under its respective headings below.
WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED BY SHAREHOLDERS TO APPROVE THE PROPOSALS
No further vote is required for approval of any proposal.
APPROVAL OF THE CORPORATE ACTION
Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law and the Company’s bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may

action. The written consent of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock is sufficient to approve
these matters. We received the written consent of 65,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Written Consent, which constitutes
approximately 54% of our outstanding voting capital entitled to vote on these matters as of the Record Date.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
Our Board of Directors and the holders
of a majority of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote on the Proposal have approved via a joint unanimous written consent
executed on October 6, 2020, an amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Amended Certificate”) to (i) increase
the number of authorized shares of our capital stock from one hundred eighty million (180,000,000) shares to one billion thirty
million (1,000,030,000) shares and to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from one hundred fifty million
(150,000,000) shares to one billion (1,000,000,000) shares, and (ii) increase or decrease
(but not below the number of shares of such class outstanding) the number of authorized shares of the class of Common Stock or
Preferred Stock by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of the Corporation irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
A copy of the form of anticipated Amended
Certificate is attached hereto as Exhibit A and will not be filed until twenty (20) days from the mailing of our definitive
information statement.
Current Plans, Proposals or Arrangements
to Issue Shares of Common Stock
As of the Record Date, the Company
had approximately $2,096,488 in outstanding convertible debentures and promissory notes that are convertible into shares of Common
Stock at any time by the debt holders (the “Outstanding Debentures”) Additionally, On October 23, 2020, the Company
sold $600,000 in new convertible debentures (“New Debentures”) to fund its ongoing operations. The conversion prices
of the Outstanding Debentures are more fully described below and are the same as the New Debentures except that the New Debentures
have a ceiling price of conversion of $0.02 per share, which was greater than the closing price of the Company’s Common
Stock on the date of issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for the contractually obligated conversion features of the
Outstanding Debentures and New Debentures, which will require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock at the holder’s
request upon conversion or upon exercise of any of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants, the Company has no current
plans, proposals or arrangements, written or oral, to issue any of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock that would
become available as a result of the Amended Certificate.
Upon the effectiveness of the Amended
Certificate, the Company may explore additional financing opportunities or strategic transactions that would require the issuance
of additional shares of Common Stock, but no such plans are currently in existence and the Company has not begun any negotiations
with any party related thereto.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INCREASING
AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
There are certain advantages and disadvantages
of increasing the Company's authorized Common Stock.
The advantages include:
|
●
|
The
ability to issue shares of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for the Company’s outstanding senior convertible
debentures.
|
|
●
|
The
ability to raise capital by issuing capital stock under future financing transactions, if any.
|
|
●
|
To
have shares of Common Stock available to pursue business expansion opportunities, if any.
|
The disadvantages include:
|
●
|
In
the event that additional shares of Common Stock are issued, dilution to the existing shareholders, including a decrease in our
net income per share in future periods. This could cause the market price of our stock to decline.
|
|
●
|
The
issuance of authorized but unissued stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial
to shareholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a shareholder that will vote in accordance
with the desires of the Company's Board, at that time. A takeover may be beneficial to independent shareholders because, among
other reasons, a potential suitor may offer such shareholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing
market price. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt provisions or enter into agreements that may have material
anti-takeover consequences.
|
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INCLUDING
A PROVISION TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF THE CLASS OF COMMON STOCK OR PREFERRED STOCK (BUT NOT BELOW
THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF SUCH CLASS OUTSTANDING) BY THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY IN VOTING POWER OF THE OUTSTANDING
SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION IRRESPECTIVE OF THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 242(B)(2) OF THE DGCL.
There are certain advantages and disadvantages
of the foregoing amended and restated language regarding Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
The advantages include:
|
●
|
The
ability of the Company to solicit holders of Preferred Stock instead of holders of Common Stock which are held by substantially
fewer shareholders and would require less Company time and expense.
|
|
●
|
More
flexibility in authorizing more shares of Common Stock if and when needed by the Company to complete future financing transactions
or to pursue business expansion opportunities.
|
The disadvantages include:
|
●
|
In
the event that additional shares of Common Stock are authorized and subsequently issued, dilution to the existing shareholders,
including a decrease in our net income per share in future periods. This could cause the market price of our stock to decline.
|
|
●
|
The
issuance of authorized but unissued stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial
to shareholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a shareholder that will vote in accordance
with the desires of the Company's Board, at that time. A takeover may be beneficial to independent shareholders because, among
other reasons, a potential suitor may offer such shareholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing
market price. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt provisions or enter into agreements that may have material
anti-takeover consequences.
|
AUTHORIZED SHARES
As of the Record Date, we had 150,000,000
shares of authorized Common Stock and 120,065,657 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 30,000,000 shares of authorized
Preferred Stock authorized and (i) 133.8125 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, (ii) 71 shares of Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock outstanding, (iii) 290.4138 shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, (iv) 5,000 shares of Series D Preferred
Stock outstanding, and (v) 5,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding.
Additionally, as of the Record Date, the
Company has outstanding convertible debentures and notes (collectively, the “Debentures”) of (i) $1,030,253 in principal
issued in our September 2017 private placement, (ii) $515,000 in principal issued in our July 2018 private placement, (iii) $25,000
in principal issued in our December 2018 private placement (“December 2018 Note”), (iv) $154,000 in principal issued
in our July 2019 private placement, (v) $96,000 in principal issued in our October 2019 private placement, (vi) $26,235 in our
December 2019 debenture issuance, and (vii) $250,000 in principal issued in our March 2020 private placement. The Debentures are
convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.30 per share (as adjusted), or (ii) 85% of the
lesser of (a) the volume weighted average price on the trading day immediately preceding a conversion date and (b) the volume weighted
average price on a conversion date. The December 2018 Notes convert at 75% of the market value on the day converted.
Following the increase in authorized shares
as contemplated in the Amended Certificate, 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock will be authorized, and 30,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock will be authorized. There will be no changes to the issued and outstanding shares Common Stock or Preferred Stock. If
we issue additional shares, the ownership interest of holders of our capital stock will be diluted.
INCLUSION OF PROVISION EXCLUDING PROVISIONS
OF 242(B)(2) OF DGCL.
Following the effectiveness of the Amended
Certificate, unless provided for otherwise in any certificate of designation of our Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares
of the class of Common Stock or Preferred stock may from time to time be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares
of such class outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of the Company irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.
NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under the Delaware General Corporation
Law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to an increase of our authorized shares, and we will not
independently provide stockholders with any such right.
