NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION
APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
 
The following action has been approved by the written consent of the holders together entitled to vote a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock:
 
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A FORWARD STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE FORWARD STOCK SPLIT
 
Purpose of the Stock Split
 
The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to effect a forward split of our Common Stock of two shares for one share outstanding (the “Stock Split”), so that every one outstanding share of Common Stock before the Stock Split shall represent two shares of Common Stock after the Stock Split with all fractional shares rounded up to the next whole share. The Board of Directors believes that the Company’s stockholders would benefit from greater liquidity in the Company’s Common Stock, that the Common Stock is too expensive for many investors and that a forward stock split of the Common Stock will allow the Common Stock to trade in a less expensive price range. Consequently, the Board of Directors has recommended that we effect the Stock Split.
 
Principal Effects of the Stock Split
 
On the effective date of the Stock Split, each one share of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Stock Split effective date (the “Old Shares”) will automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders be converted into two shares of our Common Stock (the “New Shares”).  In the following discussion, we provide examples of the effects of a two-for-one forward stock split.
 
Corporate Matters.   The Stock Split would have the following effects on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding:
 
 
·
in a two-for-one forward stock split, every one of our Old Shares owned by a stockholder would be exchanged for two New Shares; and
 
 
·
the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be increased from 8,440,837 shares to 16,881,674 shares.
 
The Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all of our outstanding Common Stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all of our outstanding Common Stock. The Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Stock Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. As described below, stockholders and holders of options and warrants holding fractional shares will have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. Common Stock issued pursuant to the Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 
 

 

Effect on Market Price of our Common Stock.   The market price of the Common Stock may fall proportionally to the increase in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the Stock Split. However, stockholders should note that the effect of the Stock Split upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be accurately predicted. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock immediately after the Stock Split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view the Stock Split negatively, there can be no assurance that the Stock Split will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock or, alternatively, that the market price following the Stock Split will either exceed or remain in excess of the current market price.

Fractional Shares. No scrip or fractional share certificates will be issued in connection with the Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of Old Shares not evenly divisible by the two for one stock split ratio, will be entitled, upon surrender of  certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares of New Shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the stockholder any voting, dividend or other rights except to have his or her fractional interest rounded up to the nearest whole number when the New Shares are issued.
 
Options and Warrants . Holders of options and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, who upon exercise of their options or warrants would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares, because they hold options which upon exercise would result in a number of shares of Common Stock not evenly divisible by the Stock Split ratio, will receive a number of shares of Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole number.
 
Authorized Shares . The Company is presently authorized under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  Upon effectiveness of the Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock would remain the same, although the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will increase.  The issuance in the future of additional shares of the our Common Stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights of the currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock.  Authorized but unissued shares will be available for issuance, and we may issue such shares in future financings or otherwise. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock would be diluted.
 
Accounting Matters . The Stock Split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Stock Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be increased in proportion to the Stock Split ratio (that is, in a two-for-one stock split, the stated capital attributable to our Common Stock will be increased to twice the number of its existing amount) and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is increased. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will also be decreased because there will be more shares of our Common Stock outstanding.
 
Procedure for Effecting a Forward Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates
 
The Stock Split will be accomplished by amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include the paragraph immediately below substantially in the following form:
 
“The Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, designated “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock,” respectively.  The total number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue is 110,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value.  The number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue is 100,000,000 shares, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock that the Company is authorized to issue is 10,000,000 shares.  The Board of Directors of the Company is hereby authorized to provide for the issue of all or any of the remaining shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of shares and to determine or alter, for each such series, such powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series and as may be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.  Effective upon filing of this Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each one (1) outstanding share of Common Stock shall be forward split into two (2) shares of Common Stock.”

 
 

 

 
A copy of the Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is attached hereto as Appendix C .
 
The Stock Split will become effective at such future date as determined by the Board of Directors, as evidenced by the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (which we refer to as the “Effective Time”), but in no event earlier than the 20 th calendar day following the mailing of this Information Statement. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing Old Shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of New Shares.
 
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, stockholders will be notified that the Stock Split has been effected. The Company expects that its transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of Old Shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing Old Shares in exchange for certificates representing New Shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in the letter of transmittal the Company sends to its stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to any stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s), together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. Any Old Shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale, other disposition or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for New Shares.  Securities Transfer Corporation charges a fee of approximately $25 for each certificate issued representing New Shares, which cost shall be borne by the stockholder.
 
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
 
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Stock Split
 
The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Stock Split to a current stockholder of the Company that is a “United States person,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (sometimes referred to herein as a “U.S. stockholder”), and who holds Common Stock of the Company as a “capital asset,” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the Stock Split. Tax considerations applicable to a particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s individual circumstances. The discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular categories of stockholders subject to special treatment under certain U.S. federal income tax laws (such as dealers in securities or currencies, banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment companies, real estate mortgage investment conduits and foreign individuals and entities). The discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. In addition, the discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our shares through such entities.
 
The following discussion is based upon the Code, U.S. Treasury Department regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change or to varying interpretation at any time. Any such changes or varying interpretations may also be applied retroactively. The following discussion has no binding effect on the IRS or the courts.

 
 

 
 
No gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. stockholder upon such stockholder’s deemed exchange of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the New Shares received in the Stock Split should be the same as such stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares being exchanged, and the holding period of the New Shares should include the holding period of such stockholder in the Old Shares.
 
We can give no assurance that the tax treatment described herein will remain unchanged. No ruling has been requested from the IRS with respect to the anticipated tax treatment of the Stock Split, and we will not seek either such a ruling or an opinion of counsel with respect to the anticipated tax treatment. If any tax consequences or facts prove not to be as anticipated and described herein, the result could be increased taxation at the stockholder level.
 
Because of the complexity of the tax laws and because the tax consequences to the Company or to any particular stockholder may be affected by matters not discussed herein, stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them in connection with the Stock Split, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of foreign, U.S. federal, state, local and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.
 
Vote Required
 
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on these corporate actions has been received in the form of a written consent in lieu of special meeting.
 
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal
 
We are a Delaware corporation and are governed by the DGCL.  Holders of the Company’s Common Stock do not have appraisal or dissenter’s rights under the DGCL in connection with the Stock Split or the filing of the Amendment as approved by the Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company.
 
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon
 
No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Stock Split that is not shared by all other shareholders of ours.
