PURSUANT TO SECTION 14

OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

AND REGULATION 14C AND SCHEDULE 14C THEREUNDER

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY

AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY

 

This information statement has been mailed on or about January __, 2018 to the shareholders of record on January 9, 2018 (the “Record Date”) of 2050 Motors, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), in connection with certain actions to be taken by the written consent by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, dated as of January 9, 2018. The actions to be taken pursuant to the written consent may be taken on or about February __, 2018, 20 days after the mailing of this information statement.

 

THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND NO SHAREHOLDER MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER WHICH WILL BE DESCRIBED HEREIN.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY

AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY

 

By Order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ George S. Hedrick

President

 


     

 

 

NOTICE OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN PURSUANT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE SHAREHOLDER HOLDING A MAJORITY OF THE VOTING POWER OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF STOCK OF THE COMPANY IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SHAREHOLDERS.

 

To the Company’s Shareholders:

 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following action has been approved pursuant to the written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company dated January 9, 2018, in lieu of a special meeting of the shareholders.

 

To amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to (1) increase (the “Increase”) the authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 300,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 (the “Amendment”).

 

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

 

As of the record date of January 9, 2018 (the “Record Date”), the Company’s authorized capitalization consisted of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 52,194,167 shares were issued and outstanding and 10,000,000 of Preferred Stock of which 3,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) were issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders and each share of Series A Preferred stock entitles its holder to 50 votes on each matter submitted to shareholders. However, because shareholders holding voting rights of all outstanding shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock as of January 9, 2018 in an amount equal to approximately 86.8%, have voted in favor of the foregoing action by resolution dated January 9 2018, no other shareholder consents will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.

 

Shareholders of record on the Record Date will be entitled to receive this notice and Information Statement.

 

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the actions described herein will not be implemented until a date at least 20 days after the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the shareholders. The Company anticipates that the Amendment will be effectuated on or about February __, 2018.

 

What action was taken by written consent?

 

We obtained stockholder consent for the approval of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) from 300,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.

 

How many shares of voting stock were outstanding on the Record Date?

 

On the Record Date, the date we received the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders, there were 52,194,167 shares of Common Stock and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

What vote was obtained to approve the amendment to the articles of incorporation described in this information statement?

 

Our board of directors approved the Amendment at special meetings of the board of directors on January 9, 2018. Stockholder approval of the Amendment also was required. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power entitled to vote on the Amendment constituted the act of the stockholders with regard to the Amendment. The voting power entitled to vote on the Amendment approved the Amendment by approximately 86.8% and consisted of the vote of the holders of the common stock and the holder of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, with each share of common stock having one vote and each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock having 50 non-cumulative votes. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of and to approve the Amendment. As of the record date, 52,194,167 shares of Common Stock, 3,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

 

AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 300,000,000 TO 1,000,000,000

 

Our board of directors and the holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders have approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation (the “Amendment”) increasing our authorized shares of Common Stock from 300,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares. The increase in our authorized shares of Common Stock will become effective upon the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of California. We will file the Amendment approximately (but not less than) 20 days after the definitive information statement is mailed to stockholders.

 

The form of Certificate of Amendment to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California is set forth as Appendix A to this information statement.

 

     

 

 

Outstanding Shares and Purpose of the Amendment

 

Our articles of incorporation currently authorize us to issue a maximum of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of the Record Date, we had 52,194,167 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 3,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

The board of directors believes that the increase in our authorized Common Stock will provide us with greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure for business purposes including additional equity financings and stock based acquisitions.

 

Effects of the Increase in Authorized Common Stock

 

The additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the right to cast one vote per share of Common Stock. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (other than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share of existing stockholders.

 

At present, the board of directors has no plans to issue the additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Amendment. However, it is possible that some of these additional shares could be used in the future for various other purposes without further stockholder approval, except as such approval may be required in particular cases by our charter documents, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other quotation system on which our securities may then be listed. These purposes may include: raising capital, settlement of debt, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, establishing strategic relationships with other companies, and expanding our business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products.

 

We could also use the additional shares of Common Stock that will become available pursuant to the Amendment to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of our company. Although the board’s approval of the Amendment was not prompted by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the board currently aware of any such attempts directed at us), nevertheless, stockholders should be aware that the Amendment could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control of our company, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

 

Interests of Certain Persons in the Action

 

Certain of the Company’s officers and directors have an interest in the Amendment as a result of their ownership of shares of our common stock, as set forth in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below. However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in the Amendment that are different from or greater than those of any other of our stockholders.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Record Date by (i) each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock; (ii) each of the Company’s officers and directors; and (iii) all of the Company’s officers and directors as a group.

 

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and includes voting or investment power with respect to the shares. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the number of shares indicated as beneficially owned by them.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

General

 

The following summary includes a description of material provisions of our capital stock.

 

Authorized and Outstanding Securities

 

We have the authority to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value. As of January 9, 2018, there were 52,194,167 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters requiring a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board in its discretion from funds legally available therefore, subject to preferences that may be applicable to preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. At present, we have no plans to issue dividends. See “Dividend Policy” for additional information. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The Common Stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. Our Common Stock is traded on the OTC market.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and our board of directors, without action by the holders of common stock, may fix or alter the voting rights, redemption provisions, dividend rights, dividend rates, claims to our assets superior to those of holders of our common stock, conversion rights and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock. The board of directors, without stockholder approval, can issue shares of preferred stock with rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock. No shares of preferred stock presently are outstanding other than the shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and we have no present plans to issue any additional preferred shares. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage or delay a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding stock.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock rank the same to our common stock as to dividends and distributions. The holders of outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at times and in amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine together with dividends paid on common stock.

 

Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to 50 non-cumulative votes per share on all matters presented to our stockholders for action. This right could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage or delay a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding stock. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a separate class, is required for 2050 Motors to do any of the following:

 

     

 

 

o amend, alter or repeal any of the preferences or rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

 

o authorize any reclassification of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock;

 

o increase the authorized number of shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; or

 

o create any class or series of shares ranking prior to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation.

 

Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights.

 

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock have the right to convert their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at any time not less than 15 days nor more than 30 days prior to delivery of a written redemption notice to the Company, at a conversion rate equal to one share of common stock for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The conversion rate is subject to anti-dilution adjustments. If we disappear in a merger or consolidation or we sell substantially all of our assets, then each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will entitle the holder to convert such share into the kind and amount of consideration that the holder would have been entitled to receive immediately after the merger, consolidation or sale.

 

Dividend Policy

 

Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial conditions. The payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of our Board. We intend to retain earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS

 

Under the California Statutes, holders of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to any aspect of the Amendment, and we will not independently provide holders with any such right.
