INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

December 28, 2012

 

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

To the Holders of Common Stock of Attune RTD:

 

This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to the holders (the “Common Stockholders”) of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Attune RTD, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to notify such Common Stockholders that on December 17, 2012, the Company received a unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of Class B Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.0166 per share (the “Series B Preferred”). Each share of Class B Preferred has the equivalent of one hundred (100) votes of Common Stock. Currently, there are seven (7) holders of Class B Preferred (together, the “Class B Stockholders”), collectively holding 1,000,000 shares of Class B Preferred, resulting in the Class B Stockholders holding in the aggregate approximately 88.72% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company (the “Majority Stockholders”). The Majority Stockholders authorized the following:

 

The increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from fifty nine million (59,000,000) shares of Common Stock to twenty billion (20,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Common Stock Share Increase”);

 

The amendment of the par value (the “Common Par Change”) of Common Stock from a par value $0.0166 per share to a par value of $0.00004897 per share.
     
    The amendment of the Class B Preferred to such that the voting rights of Class B Shareholders are increased from one hundred votes per share to twenty thousand votes per share (the “Class B Vote Increase”).
     
    The Amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of five million (5,000,000) shares of “blank check” preferred stock, 0.0166 par value per share, to be issued in series, and all properties of such preferred stock to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Authorized Blank Check Preferred Stock”)

 

We have attached Appendix A hereto a form of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, indicating the change of par value of the common stock to $.00004897, the increase in authorized shares of common stock to twenty billion, the increase in the voting rights of Class B Shareholders to twenty thousand, and the authorization of issuance of five million shares of “blank check” preferred stock.

 

 
 

  

On December 17, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, and recommended for approval to the holders having the power to vote with respect to the Common Stock, the: (i) Authorized Common Stock Share Increase, (ii) Common Par Change, (ii) Class B Vote Increase, and (iv) Authorized Blank Check Preferred Stock (collectively the “Actions “). On December 17, 2012, the Majority Stockholders approved each of the Actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with the Nevada General Corporation Law (“NRS”). Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Actions.

 

We will mail the Notice to the Common Stockholders on or about January __, 2013.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.

 

The Board believes that the Common Stockholders of the Company will benefit from these Actions because it believes that the Company will be able to attract new investors for investment in its mobile robotics and enhanced collaboration businesses.

 

The Board believes that the Common Stockholders of the Company will benefit from the Actions because such changes may allow the Company greater flexibility in pursuing acquisitions, equity investments and other opportunities.

 

The increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is not intended to have an anti-takeover effect. However, future issuances of Common Stock would have the effect of diluting the voting rights of existing holders of such stock.

 

Accordingly, it was the Board’s opinion that the Actions would better position the Company to attract potential business candidates and provide the Common Stockholders a greater potential return.

 

 
 

   

INTRODUCTION

 

Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. The NRS, however, does not require that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a Company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action.

 

Nonetheless, in accordance with Rule 14c-2(b) of the Exchange Act, we will mail the Notice to the Common Stockholders on or about February__, 2013.

 

This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of each of the Actions approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Attune RTD (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and the holders of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Class B Preferred”), which have voting rights with respect to the Common Stock and constitute a majority of the voting power of the Common Stock.

 

CLASS B PREFERRED STOCK

 

On November 28, 2007, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of one million (1,000,000) shares (par value $0.0166) of the Class B Preferred. Among the rights, preferences and privileges of the Class B Preferred is that each holder of one share of Class B Preferred (the “Class B Stockholders”) has the equivalent of one hundred (100) votes of Common Stock.

 

As of December 17, 2012, there were issued and outstanding 32,126,716 shares of our Common Stock, and (ii) one million shares of our Class B Preferred. Based on the foregoing, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Actions is 132,126,716 (32,126,716 + 100,000,000) (the sum of the votes represented by the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class B Preferred). Pursuant to Section 78.320 of the NRS, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least sixty six million sixty three thousand three hundred fifty six (66,063,356) votes, are required to approve the Actions by written consent. The Class B Stockholders, which hold in the aggregate one hundred seventeen million two hundred twenty four thousand seven hundred sixteen (117,224,716) votes or approximately 88.72% of the voting equity of the Company, have all voted in favor of the Actions, thereby satisfying the requirement under Section 78.320 of the NRS that at least a majority of the voting equity vote in favor of a corporate action by written consent.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

 

The (i) Authorized Common Stock Share Increase, (ii) Common Par Change, (ii) Class B Vote Increase, and (iv) Authorized Blank Check Preferred Stock will become effective on the date that we file the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. Such filing can occur no earlier than twenty (20) calendar days after the mailing of this information statement.

 

We currently expect to file the Amendment on or about February __, 2013.

 

With respect to each Action described in this Information Statement, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding that the Class B Stockholders have approved each Action, to elect not to proceed with one or more Actions if, at any time prior to filing the Amendment, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to consummate any one or more of the Actions.

 

INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES

OF COMMON STOCK

 

GENERAL

 

The number of authorized shares of our Common Stock will be increased from fifty nine million (59,000,000) shares to twenty billion (20,000,000,000) shares (the “Authorized Common Stock Share Increase”).

 

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES

 

The additional shares of common stock for which authorization is sought would be part of the existing class of Common Stock, if and when issued. These shares would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock currently outstanding. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for and purchase any new or additional issues of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock.

 

2
 

  

The Board of Directors believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is to have shares available for issuance for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may determine in its discretion, including, without limitation:

 

conversion of convertible securities 

 

- future acquisitions
- investment opportunities
- stock splits
- stock dividends or other distributions
- future financings and other corporate purposes

 

Although the Company is actively discussing financing alternatives which may result in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, the Company has no such plans, proposals, or arrangements, written or otherwise, at this time to issue any of the newly available authorized shares of common stock.

  

CHANGE IN PAR VALUE OF COMMON STOCK

 

GENERAL

 

The par value of our Common Stock will be changed from $0.0166 par value per share to $0.00004897 par value per share.

 

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE COMMON PAR CHANGE

 

“Par Value” is a dollar value assigned to shares of stock, which is the minimum amount for which each share may be sold. Historically, the concept of par value and the stated capital of a company were to protect creditors and senior security holders by ensuring that a company received at least the par value as consideration for issuance of its shares. Over time, these concepts have lost their significance for the most part. In fact, Nevada (as well as most states) permits the issuance of shares without par value and most newly-formed companies have no par value or a minimal par value shares.

 

The reduction in par value is not being done for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt. Nevertheless, the power of the Board of Directors to provide for the issuance of shares of common stock at a price as low as $0.00004897 per share without shareholder approval has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the private placement of stock into “friendly” hands, for example, could make the Company unattractive to the party seeking control of the Company. This would have a detrimental effect on the interests of any stockholder who wanted to tender his or her shares to the party seeking control or who would favor a change in control.

 

The Board also believes that the reduction in par value of the Company’s Common Stock will provide it with greater flexibility in setting the consideration that may be received for shares of Common Stock issued in transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations, stock issuances and issuances of securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock.

 

CLASS B PREFERRED VOTE INCREASE

 

GENERAL

 

The Class B Preferred will be changed such that the voting rights of Class B Shareholders are increased from one hundred votes per share to twenty thousand votes per share.

 

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE CLASS B VOTE INCREASE

 

The Board believes that the increase in the voting rights of Class B Shareholders from one hundred votes per share to twenty thousand votes per share will preserve the current relative voting power of the Majority Shareholders despite the issuance of large amounts of Common Stock in future potential financings and acquisitions.

 

Although the increase in the voting rights of Class B Shareholders is not being done for the purpose of impeding any pending takeover attempt, nevertheless, the voting power of the Class B Shareholders has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the inability to win the approval of the Class B Shareholders, for example, could make the Company unattractive to the party seeking control of the Company. This would also have a detrimental effect on the interests of any stockholder who wanted to tender his or her shares to the party seeking control or who would favor a change in control.

AUTHORIZED BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

 

GENERAL

 

The Articles of Incorporation will be amended to authorize the issuance of five million (5,000,000) shares of “blank check” preferred stock, $0.00004897 par value per share, to be issued in series, and all properties of such preferred stock shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE AUTHORIZED BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Board believes that the ability to create and issue various series of the Company’s preferred stock with various properties as determined by its Board of Directors will provide it with greater speed and flexibility in determining the consideration that may be offered by the Company’s issuance of its equity in transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations, and for raising capital for the Company. In many of these transactions, time is of the essence, and the ability of the Board to act in such matters without the time-consuming process of shareholder approval (especially in the case of an Exchange Act reporting company) can make the difference in consummation of such transactions.

 

The authorization of the issuance of five million shares of “blank check” preferred stock is not being done for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt. Nevertheless, the power of the Board of Directors to provide for the issuance of various series of the Company’s preferred stock with various properties without shareholder approval has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following tables set forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of December 28, 2012 of (i) each person known to us to beneficially own more than 10% of Common Stock, (ii) our directors, (iii) each named executive officer and (iv) all directors and named executive officers as a group. As of December 28, 2012, there were a total of 32,126,716 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on matters on which holders of voting stock of the Company are eligible to vote. The column entitled “Percentage of Total Voting Stock” shows the percentage of total voting stock beneficially owned by each listed party.

 

The number of shares beneficially owned is determined under the rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power plus any shares which such person or entity has the right to acquire, within sixty (60) days of December 28, 2012 through the exercise or conversion of any stock option, convertible security, warrant or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares such power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.
