INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement is being mailed to holders of record as of November 1, 2020 (the “Record Date”) of shares of common stock of Quanta, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), in accordance with the requirements of Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. This Information Statement relates to an anticipated change in the composition of our Board of Directors (the “Board”) that is expected to occur in connection with the Company’s reorganization as a holding company, while transitioning the Company’s existing CBD business operations into a newly formed operating subsidiary. This Information Statement is being mailed on or about November 20, 2020 to all holders of record as of the Record Date.

 

The terms of the Transition to a Holding Company provide, among other things, that the Company shall transfer the current operations, including certain assets and liabilities, of its CBD business into a new, wholly-owned operating subsidiary, to be formed following the mailing of this Information Statement (the “Operating Sub”). The Operating Sub shall continue to operate as it does currently, with Eric Rice overseeing this transition of the CBD business into the Operating Sub.

 

In connection with the Company’s Transition to a Holding Company, Phil Sands, a seasoned executive with operating experience across a broad range of industries, was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors on November 13, 2020. On November 13, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors also appointed Mr. Sands to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which shall be effective ten days following the mailing of this Information Statement to our Shareholders. Pursuant to Mr. Sands appointment, our current Chief Executive Officer, Eric Rice, has submitted his resignation letter to the Board of Directors, which likewise does not take effect until ten days following the mailing of this Information Statement.

 

In order to assist the Company with its Transition to a Holding Company, and as a further inducement to bring Mr. Sands aboard as Director and CEO, Eric Rice executed a Control Block Transfer Agreement on November 16, 2020, which transfers his 2,500,000 shares of Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock to Mr. Sands. In addition, in order to assist the Company, on November 16, 2020 Mr. Rice has also executed a Share Cancellation Agreement by which he has elected to cancel and return to treasury a total of 17,030,032 shares of QNTA Common Stock, while retaining his ownership in 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. Mr. Rice’s cancellation of 17,030,032 shares will be processed ten days after the mailing of this Information Statement to our Shareholders, and is designed to strengthen the Company’s financial position, so that such cancelled shares may be returned to treasury and later used in order to fund future acquisitions or expansion.

 

Finally, in connection with its Transition to a Holding Company, on November 20, 2020, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares by Unanimous Written Consent in order to provide the Company with sufficient shares to adequately pay down its debt, to allow for compensation to vendors and executives for ongoing services being rendered to the Company, and to accommodate for future financings and acquisitions. On November 20, 2020, the Board Received the Majority Shareholder’s Consent from Phil Sands, holder of 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, approving the increase in our authorized shares of Common Stock to 500,000,000. No changes to our Preferred Stock are being made. A copy of the Nevada Certificate of Amendment is attached as an exhibit hereto.

 

At the effective time of the Transition to a Holding Company (the “Effective Time ” or the “Closing”), the Phil Sands will effectively control the Company, as its sole Officer and Director. The Transition to a Holding Company will therefore constitute a change in control of the. The Transition to a Holding Company is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of Phil Sands. The Transition to a Holding Company will become effective upon the Closing Date, currently anticipated to occur on or about ten days from the date this Information Statement is being mailed.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Control Block Transfer Agreement and Share Cancellation Agreement does not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the actual Control Block Transfer Agreement and Share Cancellation Agreement, which were filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K on November 18, 2020.

 

No action is required by our stockholders in connection with this Information statement. However, Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder require the mailing to our stockholders of record of the information set forth in this Information Statement at least ten (10) days prior to the date a change in a majority of our directors occurs (otherwise than at a meeting of our stockholders). Accordingly, the Closing and the resulting change in a majority of our directors will not occur until at least ten (10) days following the mailing of this Information Statement. This Information Statement will be first mailed to the Company’s stockholders of record on or about November 20, 2020.

All Company filings and exhibits thereto may be inspected without charge at the public reference section of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549 or obtained on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

 

MAJORITY OF VOTING SECURITIES APPROVED TRANSITION TO A HOLDING COMPANY

 

The Transition to a Holding Company was approved on November 13, 2020, by Eric Rice, the holder of all 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which gives Mr. Rice voting power equal to 51% of the total votes of all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company entitled to vote.[1][2]

 

 

Title of Class		Name of Beneficial Owner		Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership				Percent of Class
Series A Preferred Stock		Eric Rice			2,500,000				100	%

 

[1] On April 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada designating 2,500,000 shares of its authorized preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive any dividends or liquidation preference and are not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, in the aggregate, have voting power equal to 51% of the total votes of all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of the Company entitled to vote. Accordingly, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to one and one-tenth (1.1) times a fraction, the numerator of which is the shares of outstanding common stock and undesignated preferred stock of the Company and the denominator of which is number of shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote with the holders of the common stock and any outstanding preferred stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Eric Rice, was issued all 2,500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, giving him effective voting control over the Company’s affairs.

[2] On November 16, 2020, Eric Sands entered into a Control Block Transfer Agreement whereby he transferred his 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Phil Sands.

 

CHANGE OF CONTROL

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Transition to a Holding Company, and to the Control Block Transfer Agreement and Share Cancellation Agreement, upon the closing of the Transition to a Holding Company, which will occur ten days following the mailing of this Information Statement to our Shareholders, Eric Rice will resign from all officer and director positions with the Company, Phil Sands will be our Sole Officer and Director, and Mr. Sands will also hold majority voting control of our issued and outstanding capital stock by virtue of his ownership of 2,500,000 shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock, which by its terms grants him 51% of the total votes of all outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Company entitled to vote..

 

Because of the change in the composition of the Board and the cancellation, transfer or issuance of securities contemplated by the Transition to a Holding Company, the Control Block Transfer Agreement and the Share Cancellation Agreements, there will be a change-of-control of the Company on the date the Transition to a Holding Company is completed.

As of the date hereof, we have no significant employees other than the named officers above, and we do not anticipate having any significant employees following the Transition to a Holding Company, other than our named executive officers.

 

Family Relationships

Transactions with Related Persons

 

On April 14, 2020, we issued to Eric Rice, our Current Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 2,500,000 shares of a newly created class of preferred stock, Series A Preferred Stock, in a private placement transaction in satisfaction of certain accrued but unpaid compensation in the amount of $120,000 then owed to Mr. Rice.

Except as set forth above, we have not entered into any transactions with our officers, directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of those persons wherein the amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two fiscal years, including the transition period ended December 31, 2018.

 

The Board appointed Phil Sands as a director on November 13, 2020, and since that time our Board of Directors has consisted of two members, including newly appointed Director, Phil Sands and Eric Rice, who was previously our Sole Director.

Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

 

While we do not have any special committee, policy or procedure related to the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, our board of directors reviews all such transactions.

 

 

Director Independence

 

Director Independence

 

Our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, NASDAQ, or on any inter-dealer quotation system which has a requirement that a majority of directors be independent. We evaluate independence by the standards for director independence set forth in the NYSE MKT Marketplace Rules.

 

Under these rules, a director is not considered to be independent if he or she also is an executive officer or employee of the corporation. As a result, our current director, Eric Rice, is not considered independent. Upon completion of the Transition to a Holding Company, our new director, Phil Sands, will not be considered independent because he will also serve as an officer of our company.

 

Board of Directors’ Meetings

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our board of directors did not meet, as it consisted of one member, Eric Rice. Our board conducted all business and approved all corporate actions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 by the unanimous written consent of its members, in the absence of formal board meetings.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

As our common stock is not presently listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not presently required to and do not have any board committees.

 

The Board performs the functions of the audit committee. The Board does not have a qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert.

 

Due to our small size and limited operations to date, we do not presently have a nominating committee, compensation committee or other committee performing similar functions. We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board, and we do not have a diversity policy.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers and 10% or greater shareholders of Quanta to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company (Form 4 and Form 5) and to provide copies of all such Forms as filed to Quanta. Based solely on Quanta’s review of the copies of these forms received by it or representations from certain reporting persons, management believes that SEC beneficial ownership reporting requirements for fiscal 2019 were met.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company’s Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our S-1 Registration Statement originally filed on March 27, 2017 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight

 

Eric Rice currently serves as our Current Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Eric Rice was the sole member of our board of directors until the Board appointed Phil Sands as a director on November 13, 2020.

We have no policy requiring the combination or separation of the Principal Executive Officer and Chairman roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. Our directors recognize that the leadership structure and the combination or separation of these leadership roles is driven by our needs at any point in time.
