PROPOSAL
THE REVERSE SPLIT
As a result of the Reverse Split, which is defined by the SEC as a transaction that reduces the number of shares and increases the share price proportionately, each share of Common Stock outstanding at the effective time of the Reverse Split, will become, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, one-fiftieth to two hundredth of a share of Common Stock. The reverse split will not affect the par value per share of the Company’s common stock as the Company’s Common Stock does not have par value. For purposes of this description, the Common Stock, as presently constituted, is referred to as the “Old Common Stock” and the Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Split is referred to as the “New Common Stock.” The bid price of the Company’s Common Stock on May 8, 2023 was $0.061.
The Reverse Split will become effective at least 20 days after this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders
Purpose and Effects of the Reverse Split
The principal effects of the Reverse Split will be as follows:
Based upon the 195,057,503 shares of Old Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date, the Reverse Split would decrease the outstanding shares of Old Common Stock to a number of shares between and including one-fiftieth to two hundredth that amount, as the case may be based on the ratio for the reverse stock split as determined by our Board, which will result in the number of New Common Stock falling within the range between 3,901,150 shares and 975,287 shares.
The Company will obtain a new CUSIP number for the New Common Stock at the time of the Reverse Split. Following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, each yet to be determined number of shares of Old Common Stock, without any action on the part of the holder, will represent one share of New Common Stock.
Subject to the provisions for elimination of fractional shares, as described below, consummation of the Reverse Split will not result in a change in the relative equity position or voting power of the holders of Old Common Stock.
The Reverse Split will decrease the number of shares of Old Common Stock outstanding and presumably increase the per share market price for the New Common Stock. Theoretically, the number of shares outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the stock, the type of investor who acquires it, or the Company’s reputation in the financial community, but in practice this is not necessarily the case, as many investors look upon a stock trading at or under $1.00 per share as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment in such stocks.
Many leading brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced securities to their clients and a variety of brokerage house policies and practices currently tend to discourage individual brokers within firms from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Some of those policies and practices pertain to the payment of brokers’ commissions and to time-consuming procedures that make the handling of lower priced stocks unattractive to brokers from an economic standpoint. In addition, the structure of trading commissions also tends to have an adverse impact upon holders of lower priced stocks because the brokerage commission on a sale of a lower priced stock generally represents a higher percentage of the sales price than the commission on a relatively higher priced issue.
The Board believes that the Reverse Split is in the best interest of the Company and its Stockholders because it would reduce the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding to amounts that the Board believes are more reasonable in light of its size and market capitalization. The Company requires additional capital for its operations and does not believe that it will be able to raise the necessary capital unless the price of the Common Stock is higher than the current Common Stock price levels. However, no assurance can be given that the Reverse Split will result in any increase in the Common Stock price or that the Company will be able to complete any financing following the Reverse Split.
The result of the Reverse Split will only affect the issued and outstanding shares. It is important we preserve our flexibility to issue additional shares of Common Stock. The Board believes that the additional authorized shares of Common Stock is advisable to provide us with the flexibility to take advantage of opportunities to issue such stock in order to obtain capital, as consideration for possible acquisitions or for other purposes including, without limitation, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock through stock splits and stock dividends in appropriate circumstances. There are, at present, no plans, understandings, agreements or arrangements concerning the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock.
Exchange of Certificate and Elimination of Fractional Share Interests
On the Effective Date, each fifty to two hundred shares of Old Common Stock will automatically be combined and changed into one share of New Common Stock. No additional action on the part of the Company or any Stockholder will be required in order to affect the Reverse Split. Stockholders will be requested to exchange their certificates representing shares of Old Common Stock held prior to the Reverse Split for new certificates representing shares of New Common Stock. Stockholders will be furnished the necessary materials and instructions to affect such exchange promptly following the Effective Date. Certificates representing shares of Old Common Stock subsequently presented for transfer will not be transferred on the books and records of the Company but will be returned to the tendering person for exchange. Stockholders should not submit any certificates until requested to do so. In the event any certificate representing shares of Old Common Stock is not presented for exchange upon request by the Company, any dividends that may be declared after the Effective Date of the Reverse Split with respect to the Common Stock represented by such certificate will be withheld by the Company until such certificate has been properly presented for exchange, at which time all such withheld dividends which have not yet been paid to a public official pursuant to relevant abandoned property laws will be paid to the holder thereof or his designee, without interest.
No fractional shares of New Common Stock will be issued to any Stockholder. Accordingly, Stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of New Common Stock, will, upon surrender of their certificates representing shares of Old Common Stock, receive a new certificate representing the New Common Stock rounded up to the nearest whole share.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
The combination of shares of the Old Common Stock into one share of New Common Stock should be a tax-free transaction under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the holding period and tax basis of the Old Common Stock will be transferred to the New Common Stock received in exchange therefor.
This discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax consequences of the Reverse Split may not be the same for all shareholders. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors to know their individual Federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.
PRINCIPAL EFFECTS OF THE
REVERSE SPLIT
We must first notify FINRA of the intended Reverse Split by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated record date of such action. Our failure to provide such notice may constitute fraud under Section 10 of the Exchange Act.
The following table, which is for illustrative purposes only, illustrates the effects of the reverse stock split at certain exchange ratios within the foregoing range, without giving effect to any adjustments for fractional shares of common stock, on our outstanding shares of common stock and authorized shares of capital stock as of May 2, 2023:
| | Before reverse | | | After Reverse Split | |
| | stock split | | | 1-for-50 | | | 1-for-100 | | | 1-for-200 | |
Common Stock Issued and Outstanding | | | 195,057,503 | | | | 3,901,150 | | | | 1,950,575 | | | | 975,287 | |
Common Stock
Each share of our common stock entitles the owner thereof to vote at the rate of one (1) vote for each share held.
DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
Holders of our voting securities do not have dissenter’s rights under the Wyoming Business Corporation Act in connection with our Proposal.
