VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

 

On or about [date], 2017, the Company received written consents from three shareholders in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders. These shareholders own 30,090,005 Class A Common Shares and 6,000,000 Class B Common Shares representing approximately 99.86% of the voting class (the “Majority Stockholder”) authorizing the Company’s Board of Directors, to increase the number of authorized share to 2,000,000,000 from 200,000,000, while retaining the current par value of $0.001 . Percentage of total voting power represents voting power with respect to all shares of our Class A Common Stock (30,217,046 issued and outstanding) and Class B Voting stock (6,000,000 shares issued and outstanding), as a single class. The holder of our Class B Voting Stock is entitled to ten votes per share, and holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. The 6,000,000 Class B shares have voting rights equal to 60,000,000 common shares. Percentage of Total Voting Power is calculated based on an aggregate of 90,217,046 (30,217,046 Class A Common + 60,000,000 Class B Voting Common) shares issued and outstanding.

 

On [date], 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the above-mentioned actions, subject to Stockholder approval. The Majority Stockholder approved the action by written consent in lieu of a meeting on [date] 2017, in accordance with Delaware Corporate law . Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the action.

 

This consent will be sufficient, without any further action, to provide the necessary stockholder approval of the action.

CORPORATE ACTION TO BE TAKEN

 

ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

The Board of Directors is recommending that the Company’s current Articles of Incorporation be amended to increase the authorized common stock (Class A, B and C) to 2,000,000,000 shares. Specifically, increase the number of authorized Class A common shares from 130,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000, increase the authorized Class B common shares from 6,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares and increase the number of Class C common shares from 64,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares.

 

The increase in the authorized Common Stock will provide the Company with needed stock to enable it to undertake financing transactions in which the Company may employ the common stock, including transactions to raise working capital through the sale of common stock. Since the Board of Directors believes that the currently authorized number of shares may be not be sufficient to meet anticipated needs in the immediate future, the Board considers it desirable that the Company has the flexibility to issue an additional amount of Common Stock without further stockholder action, unless otherwise required by law or other regulations. The availability of these additional shares will enhance the Company’s flexibility in connection with any possible acquisition or merger, stock splits or dividends, financings and other corporate purposes and will allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting, unless such action is required by applicable law or rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may then be listed.

 

  -3- 

 

 
 

 

 

We do not have any specific plans, agreements, arrangements or understanding with respect to the proposed increase of our authorized but unissued stock.

 

In certain circumstances, a proposal to increase the authorized capital stock may have an anti-takeover effect. The authorization, without prior shareholder approval of additional unreserved classes of Common Stock with either specified voting rights or rights providing for the approval of extraordinary corporate action may be used to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a merger or otherwise gain control of the Company opposed by management by diluting the stock ownership of any persons seeking to obtain control of the Company. Management of the Company might use the additional authorized capital stock to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction which might provide an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders. Management of the Company has no present plans to adopt any proposals or to enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences. There are no anti-takeover provisions in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other governing documents at this time.

 

A copy of the proposed amendment is included in this Information Statement.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK AND VOTING RIGHTS

 

The Company’s authorized capital consists currently of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share and no Preferred Stock. At the Record Date, the Company had 30,217,046 of Class A shares of Common Stock, 6,000,000 Class B Voting stock and 48,400,000 Class C, all par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding. The holder of our Class B Voting Stock is entitled to ten votes per share, and holders of our Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. The holders of Class A and Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters to come before a vote of the stockholders of the Company.

 

VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

 

Section 242 of the Delaware General Business Corporation Act provides an outline of the scope of the amendments of the Articles of Incorporation allowed a Delaware Corporation. This includes the amendment discussed in this Information Statement. The procedure and requirements to effect an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of a Delaware corporation are set forth in Section 242 provides that proposed amendments must first be adopted by the Board of Directors and then submitted to stockholders for their consideration at an annual or special meeting and must be approved by shareholders holding at least the majority voting power of the Company.

 

Section 228 of the Delaware General Business Corporation Act provides that any action required to be taken at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders of a Delaware corporation may be taken by written consent, in lieu of a meeting, if the consent is signed by stockholders holding at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote were present and voted.

 

The persons holding at least the majority voting power of the Company have adopted, ratified and approved the amendment to the articles of incorporation increasing the authorized capital stock as described in this Information Statement. No further votes are required or necessary to effect the proposed amendment or the other corporate actions to be taken.

The securities that would have been entitled to vote if a meeting was required to be held to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation consist of 30,217,046 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and 6,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding, representing 99.86% of the voting class as of the Record Date.

 

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS

AND FIVE PERCENT STOCKHOLDERS

 

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the ownership of the Company’s Common Stock as of [date], 2017, with respect to: (i) each person known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock; (ii) all directors; and (iii) directors and executive officers of the Company as a group. To the knowledge of the Company, each shareholder listed below possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated.

 

We believe that all persons named have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated, unless otherwise noted in the table. Under the rules of the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60-days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.

2. Designation of Additional Shares .

 

2.1 The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, by resolution or resolutions, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and, by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware (“ Certificate of Designation ”), to establish from time-to-time the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, and to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of such class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of any series thereof, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of any Certificate of Designation designating a series of Preferred Stock.

 

2.2 Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Certificate of Designation designating any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE IV, any new series of Preferred Stock may be designated, fixed and determined as provided herein by the Board of Directors without approval of the holders of Common Stock or the holders of Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, and any such new series may have powers, preferences and rights, including, without limitation, voting powers, dividend rights, liquidation rights, redemption rights and conversion rights, senior to, junior to or pari passu with the rights of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, or any future class or series of Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

 

3. Rights of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class Capital Stock .

 

3.1 Equal Status . Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation (“ Certificate of Incorporation ”) or required by applicable law, shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Capital Stock shall have the same rights and powers, rank equally (including as to dividends and distributions, and upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation), share ratably and be identical in all respects and as to all matters.

 

3.2 Voting Rights . Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Certificate of Incorporation or as provided by law, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall (a) at all times vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote or for the consent (if action by written consent of the stockholders is permitted at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the stockholders of the corporation, (b) be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the corporation and (c) be entitled to vote upon such matters and in such manner as may be provided by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may pay or make a disparate dividend or distribution per share of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class Capital Stock (whether in the amount of such dividend or distribution payable per share, the form in which such dividend or distribution is payable, the timing of the payment, or otherwise) if such disparate dividend or distribution is approved in advance by the affirmative vote (or written consent if action by written consent of stockholders is permitted at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Capital Stock, each voting separately as a class.

 

3.4 Subdivisions, Combinations or Reclassifications . Shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Capital Stock may not be subdivided, combined or reclassified unless the shares of each of the other classes are concurrently therewith proportionately subdivided, combined or reclassified in a manner that maintains the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Capital Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification; provided , however , that shares of one such class may be subdivided, combined or reclassified in a different or disproportionate manner if such subdivision, combination or reclassification is approved in advance by the affirmative vote (or written consent if action by written consent of stockholders is permitted at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Capital Stock, each voting separately as a class.

 

3.5 Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up . Subject to the preferential or other rights of any holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding, upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive ratably all assets of the corporation available for distribution to its stockholders unless disparate or different treatment of the shares of each such class with respect to distributions upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is approved in advance by the affirmative vote (or written consent if action by written consent of stockholders is permitted at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

 

3.6 Transactions.

 

(a) Merger or Consolidation .

The corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Class B Common Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid (if such shares are certificated) or, if such shares are uncertificated, register such shares in book-entry form. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Class B Common Stock to be converted following or contemporaneously with the written notice of such holder’s election to convert required by this Section 3.8(a), and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock as of such date.

(c) Certificates. Each outstanding stock certificate (if shares are in certificated form) that, immediately prior to a Conversion Event, represented one or more shares of Class B Common Stock subject to such Conversion Event shall, upon such Conversion Event, be deemed to represent an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock, without the need for surrender or exchange thereof.

In connection with any action of stockholders taken at a meeting or by written consent (if action by written consent of stockholders is permitted at such time under this Certificate of Incorporation), the stock ledger of the corporation shall be presumptive evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders or in connection with any such written consent and the class or classes or series of shares held by each such stockholder and the number of shares of each class or classes or series held by such stockholder.
