GENERAL
This
Information Statement is being furnished to all holders of the common stock of NightFood Holdings, Inc. (the "Company")
as of August 4, 2017 in connection with the action taken by written consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding voting
power of the Company to authorize the Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.
"We,"
"us," "our," and the "Company" refers to NightFood Holdings, Inc. a Nevada.
RECOMMENDATION
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The
Company’s Board of Directors is proposing an amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company's
authorized capital to 201,000,000 shares comprising 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock par value $.001 per share and 1,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock par value $0.001 per share. In order to fund its current expansion prior to funds being made available
under the Company’s Equity Line of Credit with Black Forest Capital, LLC, the company has entered into a series of convertible
promissory notes. These promissory notes required us to reserve an aggregate of approximately 69,000,000 shares of our common
stock. When this is added to the 29,785,082 shares currently outstanding, 300,000 shares reserved for warrants and options, we
obviously are in need of additional shares to realize benefits under the Equity Line of Credit and to meet our existing obligations
as well as have shares available for future possible business opportunities (none of which are presently identified). Furthermore,
if we do not increase our authorized shares by October 1, 2017, so that we can make a reserve of 14,000,000 shares available to
one of our lenders, Labrys Fund, LP, we will be subject to a confession of judgment on our $100,000 note to them. If a judgement
in that amount were entered against us, it is likely that we would be forced to cease operations and our shareholders would lose
all of their investment in us.
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:
Complying
with our obligations to Labrys Fund, LP
Possibly
increasing the liquidity of the Company’s stock in the market.
Avoiding
the entry of a judgement against the Company
Having
shares of common stock available so the Company can be proactive in pursuing potentially beneficial business expansion opportunities
when they arise.
Having
the ability to raise capital by issuing capital stock under future financing transactions, if any.
The
disadvantages include:
Potential
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 of Directors, 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.
ACTION
TO BE TAKEN
This
Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the action approved by the Board and the holders of
the majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company.
CHANGE
AND AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY TO FROM 100,000,000 to 200,000,000.
The
Board approved the increase in the amount of the authorized common stock of the Company to 200,000,000 shares. A copy of the proposed
amendment is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.
As
of the Record Date the Company, the Board of Directors believes that the stockholders of the Company will benefit from an increase
in the number of authorized shares of common stock, and such an increase is necessary because, as of the Record Date, the Company
does not have sufficient authorized common stock to meet the required reserve levels for prior convertible financing done by the
Company. As of the Record Date there were 29,785,082 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of the Record Date the
Company was contractually required to have approximately 69,000,000 shares held in reserve for holders of convertible notes. Therefore,
there are no authorized shares of common stock available to be reserved for existing and future convertible notes and other debt
financing, including the $5,000,000 equity line the Company entered into or other sales of stock to raise capital or compensate
for services. Furthermore, if the authorized shares are not increased, the Company will be in default of a convertible note.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
The
Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
and in accordance therewith files reports, proxy statements and other information including annual and quarterly reports on Form
10-K and 10-Q (the “1934 Act Filings”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

DISSENTER’S
RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
The
Stockholders have no dissenter’s right under Nevada Law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation consistent with above,
or By-Laws to dissent from any of the provisions adopted in the Amendments.
VOTE
REQUIRED
Pursuant
to the Company's By-Laws and Nevada’s Revised Statutes, a vote by the holders of at least a majority of the Company’s
outstanding votes is required to effect the Amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. As of the Record Date,
the Company had 29,785,082 of the shares of common stock that are entitled to one vote each for a total of 29,785,082 votes. No
other class of stock was entitled to vote. On August 2, 2017, the holders of 20,443,568 shares (or 68.6% of the total issued and
outstanding voting capital stock on the Record Date) approved the proposed amendment; no action is needed by the minority stockholders
in connection with the Amendment.
POTENTIAL
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT
The
proposal to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that Company will be authorized to issue could have a potential anti-takeover
effect, even though our Board of Directors is not presenting the proposal for that reason and does not presently anticipate using
the increased authorized shares for such purpose. The effect of the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common
Stock might render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or change in control and the removal of
management, which a majority of independent stockholders might otherwise deem favorable.
VOTE
REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
In
accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes the following actions were taken based upon the unanimous recommendation and approval
by the Company's Board of Directors and the written consent of the majority voting power.
The
Board of Directors of the Company has adopted, ratified and approved the Amendment. The securities that are entitled to vote to
approve the Amendment consist of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common voting stock outstanding
on August 4, 2017, the Record Date for determining shareholders who are entitled to notice of, and to vote on, the proposed Amendment.
The holders of 68.6% of the issued and outstanding shares voted in favor of the amendment.
INTEREST
OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No
director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any
other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the proposed Amendment of
the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and of those shares, or in any action covered by the related resolutions adopted by the
Board of Directors, which is not shared by all other stockholders.
