Re:  Action by Written Consent In lieu of Annual Meeting of Stockholders

 

This Information Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors of Bergio International, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Company”, or “BRGO”), to holders of record of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, at the close of business on February 10, 2021. The purpose of this Information Statement is to inform the Company’s stockholders of certain actions taken by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting stock, dated as of February 10, 2021, in lieu of an Annual Meeting of stockholders.

 

1.To grant the Board of Directors the authority to amend the Company’s Certificate of Designation for Series A Preferred Stock.

4.To grant the Board of Directors the authority to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock. 

 

The foregoing actions were approved on February 10, 2021 by our Board of Directors. In addition, on February 10, 2021, Berge Abajian, the majority holder of the Company’s outstanding voting securities, as of the record date, approved the foregoing actions. The number of shares voting for the proposals was sufficient for approval because Berge Abajian owns 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock which in the aggregate, gives him voting rights equal to 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Wyoming Business Corporation Act, Title 17, Chapter 16 of the Revised Wyoming Statutes (the “Wyoming Business Corporation Act”) provides in part that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required.

 

In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to affect the above actions as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as herein described, the Board consented to the utilization of, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the Consenting Stockholders who collectively own shares representing a majority of our Common Stock.

 

The above actions taken by the Company’s stockholders will become effective on or about March 26, 2021 and are more fully described in the Information Statement accompanying this Notice. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the above actions cannot become effective until at least 20 days after the accompanying Information Statement has been distributed to the stockholders of the Company.

 

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. The Company may request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

No action is required by you. The accompanying Information Statement is furnished only to inform our stockholders of the actions described above before they take place in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the corporate actions cannot become effective until twenty (20) days after the date this Information Statement is mailed to the Company’s stockholders. We anticipate that the corporate actions will become effective on or after March 26, 2021.

[2]Berge Abajian also owns 51 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, giving him voting power equal to 51% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, which based on the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock on the Record Date, is equivalent to his ownership of 75,042,528 shares of Common Stock. 

 

PROPOSAL 1

 

APPROVAL TO AFFECT AN AMENDMENT TO THE

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATE

OF DESIGNATION

 

We are seeking shareholder approval to file Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Appendix A.

 

Purpose of the Amendment to the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation

 

The purpose of the amendment to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is to provide our Chief Executive Officer, Berge Abajian, with continued majority voting control even after the issuance of all authorized shares of our newly created Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock as further detailed herein. Under the current Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, filed on September 2, 2011, the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock is 51, giving Mr. Abajian voting rights equal to 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Appendix A, increases the number of authorized shares of our Series A Preferred Stock to 75, giving Mr. Abajian voting rights equal to 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which will allow Mr. Abajian to maintain majority voting control of the Company.

 

The aforementioned two changes to the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation are found in Appendix A, in “Section II. (B) Designation and Amount; Dividends” and “VI. Voting Rights” as follows, and in all other respects the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation as filed on September 2, 2011 remains unchanged:

 

II.  DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT; DIVIDENDS

 

B.  Number of Shares .  The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized shall be Seventy-Five (75) shares.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to $0.001 (as may be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) (the “Series A Stated Value”).

 

VI.  VOTING RIGHTS

 

Each one (1) share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to One Percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock on the date of any such vote, such that the Holder of all Seventy-Five (75) shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shall always have voting rights equal to Seventy-Five Percent (75%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock.

 

With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or by-laws.

 

The Board unanimously approved and recommended seeking shareholder approval of this proposal to file Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, on February 10, 2021.

 

Conversion Rights

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into the Company’s shares of Common Stock.

Majority Voting Control Remains with Berge Abajian

 

Our CEO, Berge Abajian, holds all 51 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and as such he holds majority voting power.  Because the existing Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which was filed on September 2, 2011, already provides the holder with a vote equal to 1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Abajian already votes the equivalent of 51% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on any matter put to a shareholder vote.

 

Once the Company files the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Abajian will still maintain voting control, except that he will be entitled to vote the equivalent of 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In that way, Mr. Abajian maintains voting control, albeit by a larger majority.

 

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

 

Our shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to an amendment of our Series A Preferred Stock, and we will not independently provide shareholders with any such right.

 

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

 

Our sole officer and director, Berge Abajian, has no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal to file Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock except to the extent of his ownership of shares of our Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Vote Required

 

Berge Abajian, the Majority Shareholder executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the action set forth herein. Since the action has been approved by the Majority Stockholder, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.

 

PROPOSAL 2

 

APPROVAL TO FILE A CERTIFICATE

OF DESIGNATION FOR NEWLY CREATED SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

 

We are seeking shareholder approval to file a Certificate of Designation for the newly created Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Appendix B.

 

The Acquisition Agreement and Amendment (detailed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on February 17, 2021), require the Company to issue a total of 3,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Selling Shareholders of Digital Age Business, Inc. upon Closing, and also allow them to earn up to an additional 1,900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock if the Acquisition Sub meets the performance benchmarks as detailed in the Acquisition Agreement and Amendment.

 

The Board unanimously approved and recommended seeking shareholder approval of this proposal to file a Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, on February 10, 2021.

 

Dividends

 

The Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Stock provides, in part, that the holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, as set forth in “Section 2 Dividends”, as follows:

 

Section 2. Dividends.

(a)  Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, and the Company shall accrue, quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on the Issuance Date, cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) equal to two percent (2%) per annum on the Stated Value., payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

Conversion Rights of Series B Preferred Stock

 

The Series B Preferred Stock allows the holders thereof to convert all or a portion of their shares of Series B Preferred Stock into the Company’s shares of Common Stock at any time. “Section 5 Conversion” describes the conversion metrics, which essentially will allow the holders of all 4,900 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (if and when all authorized Series B Preferred Stock are issued), to convert into an aggregate of 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as follows:

 

Section 5. Conversion.

(a)  Conversion at Option of Holder. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 0.01% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (such that all 4,900 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, if issued and outstanding, would be convertible in the aggregate into 49% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock) (as determined at the earlier of (i) the date of Conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following February 8, 2021) (“Conversion Ratio”).

 

Since the Acquisition Agreement and Amendment require the Company to issue a total of 3,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock to the Selling Shareholders of Digital Age Business, Inc. upon Closing, it is possible for those 3,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be converted into 30% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. If the additional 1,900 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock are later issued to the Selling Shareholders when Acquisition Sub meets the performance benchmarks set forth in the Acquisition Agreement and Amendment, those Selling Shareholders would, in the aggregate, be able to convert into a total of 49% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights of Series B Preferred Stock

 

The Series B Preferred Stock allows each holder thereof to vote on an “as converted basis” meaning that each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a vote equal to 0.01% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, such that all 4,900 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock, if issued and outstanding, would in the aggregate, be eligible to cast votes equivalent to 49% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (as determined at the earlier of (i) the date of Conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following February 8, 2021). “Section 3 Voting Rights; Negative Covenants” states, in part, as follows:

Section 3. Voting Rights; Negative Covenants.

Each holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company's shareholders for a vote, on an as-converted basis, either by written consent or by proxy.

 

Majority Voting Control Remains with Berge Abajian

 

The issuance of newly created Series B Preferred Stock will not change the majority voting control of the Company, even if all of the 4,900 authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued. Our CEO, Berge Abajian, holds all 51 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and as such he holds majority voting power.  Because the existing Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which was filed on September 2, 2011, already provides the holder with a vote equal to 1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Abajian already votes the equivalent of 51% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on any matter put to a shareholder vote.

 

Once the Company files the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock as shown in Proposal 1, Mr. Abajian will still maintain voting control, except that he will be entitled to vote the equivalent of 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  In that way, Mr. Abajian maintains voting control, albeit by a larger majority.

 

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

 

Our shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to our Series B Preferred Stock, and we will not independently provide shareholders with any such right.


7


Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

 

Our sole officer and director, Berge Abajian, has no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal to file the Certificate of Designation for the Company’s newly created Series B Preferred Stock except to the extent of his ownership of shares of our Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Vote Required

 

Berge Abajian, the Majority Shareholder executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the action set forth herein. Since the action has been approved by the Majority Stockholder, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.

 

PROPOSAL 3

 

APPROVAL TO FILE A CERTIFICATE

OF DESIGNATION FOR NEWLY CREATED SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

 

We are seeking shareholder approval to file a Certificate of Designation for the newly created Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Appendix C.

 

The Board unanimously approved and recommended seeking shareholder approval of this proposal to file Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, on February 10, 2021.

 

The Acquisition Agreement and Amendment (detailed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on February 17, 2021) require the Company to issue a total of 5 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock to Southridge (or its affiliates as directed by Southridge) upon Closing.

 

The Board unanimously approved and recommended seeking shareholder approval of this proposal to file a Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, on February 10, 2021.

 

Dividends

 

The Certificate of Designation for the Series C Preferred Stock provides, in part, that the holders of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends, as set forth in “Section 2 Dividends”, as follows:

 

Section 2. Dividends.

(a)  Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, and the Company shall accrue, quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on the Issuance Date, cumulative dividends on the Series C Preferred Stock at the rate per share (as a percentage of the Stated Value per share) equal to two percent (2%) per annum on the Stated Value., payable in additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

 

Conversion Rights of Series C Preferred Stock

 

The Series C Preferred Stock allows the holders thereof to convert all or a portion of their shares of Series C Preferred Stock into the Company’s shares of Common Stock at any time.   “Section 5 Conversion” describes the conversion metrics, which essentially will allow the holders of all 5 authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock, when issued, to convert into an aggregate of 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as follows:

 

Section 5. Conversion.

(a)  Conversion at Option of Holder. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (as determined at the earlier of (i) the date of Conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following February 8, 2021) (“Conversion Ratio”), at the option of a Holder, at any time and from time to time, from and after the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, except that such conversion will automatically be adjusted so that the Holder’s total beneficial ownership does not exceed greater than 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 


8


Since the Acquisition Agreement and Amendment require the Company to issue a total of 5 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock to Southridge (or its affiliates as directed by Southridge) upon Closing, it is possible for those 5 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be converted into 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to the provision that the Holder’s total beneficial ownership does not exceed greater than 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights of Series C Preferred Stock

 

The Series C Preferred Stock allows each holder thereof to vote on an “as converted basis” meaning that each share of Series C Preferred Stock has a vote equal to 1% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, such that all 5 authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock, if issued and outstanding, would in the aggregate, be eligible to cast votes equivalent to 5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, (as determined at the earlier of (i) the date of Conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock; and (ii) eighteen (18) months following February 8, 2021).  “Section 3 Voting Rights; Negative Covenants” states, in part, as follows:

 

Section 3. Voting Rights; Negative Covenants.

Each holder of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote on any matter that may from time to time be submitted to the Company's shareholders for a vote, on an as-converted basis, either by written consent or by proxy.

 

Majority Voting Control Remains with Berge Abajian

 

The issuance of newly created Series C Preferred Stock will not change the majority voting control of the Company, even when all of the 5 authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued. Our CEO, Berge Abajian, holds all 51 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and as such he holds majority voting power. Because the existing Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which was filed on September 2, 2011, already provides the holder with a vote equal to 1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Abajian already votes the equivalent of 51% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on any matter put to a shareholder vote.

 

Once the Company files the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock as shown in Proposal 1, Mr. Abajian will still maintain voting control, except that he will be entitled to vote the equivalent of 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  In that way, Mr. Abajian maintains voting control, albeit by a larger majority.

 

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

 

Our shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to the issuance of our Series C Preferred Stock, and we will not independently provide shareholders with any such right.

 

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

 

Our sole officer and director, Berge Abajian, has no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal to file the Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock except to the extent of his ownership of shares of our Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Vote Required

 

Berge Abajian, the Majority Shareholder executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the action set forth herein. Since the action has been approved by the Majority Stockholder, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.

PROPOSAL 4

 

APPROVAL TO FILE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

We are seeking shareholder approval to file Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of the Company’s shares of Common Stock to Three Billion (3,000,000,000) shares. The proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are attached hereto as Appendix D.

 

The Board unanimously approved and recommended seeking shareholder approval of this proposal to file Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of the Company’s shares of Common Stock to Three Billion (3,000,000,000) shares, on February 10, 2021.

 

Purpose of Increasing the Authorized Shares of Common Stock

 

It is necessary for the Company to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock in order to accommodate the share reserves needed a) upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, b) upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, and c) for the financing detailed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021, which includes those shares of Common Stock necessary to reserve for the conversion of the Notes and the Warrants detailed therein, and d) to allow the Company sufficient authorized Common Stock to issue shares as needed for future rounds financing, whether through private placement offerings or a planned Registration Statement on Form S-1.

 

Majority Voting Control Remains with Berge Abajian

 

The increase in the authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock to 3,000,000,000 shares will not change the majority voting control of the Company, even if all of the authorized shares of our Common Stock are issued.   Our CEO, Berge Abajian, holds all 51 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and as such he holds majority voting power. Because the existing Certificate of Designation of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, which was filed on September 2, 2011, already provides the holder with a vote equal to 1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Abajian already votes the equivalent of 51% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on any matter put to a shareholder vote.

 

Once the Company files the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock as shown in Proposal 1, Mr. Abajian will still maintain voting control, except that he will be entitled to vote the equivalent of 75% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In that way, Mr. Abajian maintains voting control, albeit by a larger majority.

 

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

 

Our shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to the amendment of our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and we will not independently provide shareholders with any such right.

 

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

 

Our sole officer and director, Berge Abajian, has no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal to file Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of the Company’s shares of Common Stock to Three Billion (3,000,000,000) shares except to the extent of his ownership of shares of our Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Vote Required

 

Berge Abajian, the Majority Shareholder executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the action set forth herein. Since the action has been approved by the Majority Stockholder, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.
