DESCRIPTION
OF THE CONSENT ACTIONS
RATIFICATION
OF CORPORATE NAME CHANGE
On
September 23, 2022, we filed an amendment to our Articles changing our corporate name to “FOMO WORLDWIDE, INC.” from
“FOMO CORP.” As a result of certain state government agency confusion regarding the payment of California corporate
franchise taxes, the Company was deemed to have been administratively revoked for a period of time. In connection with the resolution
of those issues and the reinstatement of the Company in good standing in 2022, we learned that during the pendency of the dissolution,
the corporate name “FOMO CORP.” had been assigned by the Secretary of State of California to another California corporation
and accordingly was no longer available to us. As a result, we changed our corporate name to “FOMO WORLDWIDE, INC.”
in connection with our reinstatement to good standing.
AMENDMENT
OF OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AT THE RATIO OF ONE-FOR-100
The
sole director and the Majority Shareholder by written consent dated April 30, 2023 has approved the filing of an amendment to our Articles
to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at the ratio of one-for-100, subject to receipt of FINRA and any other necessary
regulatory approvals and the passage of all necessary waiting periods. The Reverse Split would reduce the number of outstanding shares
of our common stock and would proportionate reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Preferred Stock
but would have no effect on the number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The sole director and the Majority Shareholder has determined
that it would be in the Company’s best interest to conduct the Reverse Split. In approving this action, the sole director and the
Majority Shareholder considered certain factors including, but not limited to, the following:
(i)
current trading price of the Company’s shares of common stock on the OTC Pink market and potential to increase the marketability
and liquidity of the Company’s common stock;
(ii)
possible reluctance or inability of brokerage firms and institutional investors to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or
to hold in their own portfolios;
(iii)
desire to meet future requirements of per-share price and net tangible assets and shareholders’ equity relating to admission for
trading on other markets;
(iv)
posturing the Company and its structure in favorable position in order to effectively negotiate with potential acquisition candidates;
and
(v)
provide the management of the Company with additional flexibility to issue shares to facilitate future stock acquisitions and financing
for the Company.
For
the above reasons, the sole director and the Majority Shareholder board believes that the Reverse Split is in the best interest of the
Company and its shareholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Reverse Split will have the desired benefits.
The
Reverse Split would provide for the combination of the presently issued and outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number
of shares of identical common stock, and the Reverse Split would affect all common shareholders uniformly. For example, as result of
the Reverse Split, 100 shares of our presently issued and outstanding common stock on the effective date of the amendment to the Articles
implementing the Reverse Split would be converted into one share of the post-Reverse Split common stock. The conversion rate of all securities
convertible into common stock would be proportionately adjusted.
In
connection with the Reverse Split, fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, the Company will issue one full share of the post-Reverse
stock Split common stock to any shareholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. Each
holder of common stock will hold the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the Reverse Split as that
shareholder did immediately prior to the Reverse Split, except for the minor adjustment that will result from the additional shares that
will need to be issued a result of the treatment of fractional shares.
The
Reverse Split will be effected by filing an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the California Secretary
of State’s office and will become effective upon such filing. The actual timing of any such filing will be made by our sole director,
based upon an evaluation as to when FINRA and other the requisite approvals are received, and the requisite waiting periods have passed.
The Reverse Split will, however, reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 9,342,899,754 to approximately
93,428,998 shares (based on 9,342,899,754 shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date). The Reverse Split will not have
any effect on the par value of the common stock.
The
Reverse Split may also result in some shareholders holding “odd lots” of fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage
commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots may be higher, particularly on a per-share basis, than the cost of transactions
in even multiples of 100 shares.
As
a result of implementation of the Reverse Split, the Company will have more authorized shares available for issuance than it currently
has available and therefore, there is a significant risk of shareholder value represented by the common stock being further diluted by
additional share issuances. The proposed Reverse Split creates a risk that current shareholders of the common stock will see the value
of those shares diluted through the issuance of additional authorized but currently unissued shares. The current net tangible book value
per share would be diluted if additional shares are issued without an increase taking place in the net book value of the assets of the
Company. The current book value of shares held by existing shareholders would not be maintained in the event additional shares are issued.
After the Reverse Split, if the Company were to issue the balance of the authorized shares, that action would have a material dilutive
effect upon existing shareholders The board of directors has no immediate plans, understandings, agreements or commitments to issue additional
shares of stock for any purpose. Although the Company has no other current financing plans or understandings, agreements or commitments
for financing, if an opportunity should present itself, the Company may issue shares of common stock in connection with such a financing.
The increased capital will provide the board of directors with the ability to issue additional shares of stock without further vote of
the shareholders of the Company. The Company’s shareholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities
which may be issued by the Company which means that current shareholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issuance of capital
stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of the Company’s stock.
After
the taking of any action to conduct or authorize the Reverse Split is filed there is not a requirement that shareholders obtain new or
replacement share certificates. Each of the holders of record of shares of the Company’s common stock that is outstanding on the
effective date of the Reverse Split may contact the Company’s transfer agent to exchange the certificates for new certificates
representing the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Split common shares into which the existing shares have been converted as a result
of the Reverse Split.
Because
the Reverse Split results in an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock, it may be construed as
having an anti-takeover effect. Although the Reverse Split is not being undertaken for this purpose, in the future the board of directors
could, subject to its fiduciary duties and applicable law, use the increased number of authorized but unissued shares to frustrate persons
seeking to take over or otherwise gain control of our company by, for example, privately placing shares with purchasers who might side
with the board of directors in opposing a hostile takeover bid. Such use of our common stock could render more difficult, or discourage,
an attempt to acquire control of our company if such transactions were opposed by the board of directors.
REDOMICILING
OF THE COMPANY TO WYOMING FROM CALIFORNIA
The
sole director and the Majority Shareholder by written consent dated April 30, 2023 has approved the redomiciling of the Company to the
State of Wyoming from the State of California, upon receipt of FINRA and all other necessary regulatory approvals and the passage of
all necessary waiting periods. The redomicile would have no effect on the number of outstanding shares of common stock or any class of
preferred stock.
The
sole director and the Majority Shareholder has determined that it is in the Company’s best interests to effect the redomicile and
has considered certain factors including, but not limited to, the following:
|
(i) |
simplified
legal and regulatory compliance; |
|
(ii) |
enhanced
reduced filing fees and expenses; |
|
(iii) |
tax
treatment; and |
|
(iv) |
simplified
application of accounting principles to derivative liabilities. |
