PLEASE
NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTEREST IN THE COMPANY, EXCEPT AS MAY RESULT FROM
THE ISSUANCE OR CANCELLATION OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE FRACTIONAL SHARES.
PLEASE
NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
MATERIAL EFFECTS OF
THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
When a company engages
in a reverse stock split, it substitutes one share of stock for a predetermined amount of shares of stock. It does not increase
the market capitalization of the company. Under this reverse stock split each share of Preferred Stock will be automatically converted
at the rate as described in Table 1. To avoid the issuance of fractional shares of Preferred Stock, the Company will issue an additional
share to all holders of fractional shares.
The Reverse Stock
Split will affect all of our stockholders of Preferred Stock Series B, D, D1, E, E1, F, F1, G, G1, H, H1, and L and will not
affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent
that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. All stockholders holding a
fractional share shall be issued an additional share. The principal effect of the Reverse Stock Split will be that the number
of shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the shares of
any Series of Preferred Stock of the Company that are not specifically detailed in Table 1 above. The number of authorized
shares of Preferred Stock will not be affected.
Due to the fact that we
are not decreasing the number of Authorized Preferred Stock of the Company in conjunction with the Reverse Stock Split, it will
have many of the same effects as an increase in authorized preferred stock. We are not undergoing a Reverse Stock Split in order
to construct or enable any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on behalf of the Company. While it is possible that management could
use the additional common shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored
by a majority of the independent stockholders, we have no intent or plan to employ the additional unissued authorized shares as
an anti-takeover device.
FRACTIONAL SHARES
We
will not issue fractional certificates for post- Reverse Stock Split shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead,
an additional share shall be issued to all holders of a fractional share. To the extent any holders of pre- Reverse Stock Split
shares are entitled to fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will issue an additional share to
all holders of fractional shares.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY
ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT BEING ASKED TO DO SO.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion
is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to us and stockholders of our
common stock. It does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse
Stock Split and is included for general information only. This discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions
in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations.
This discussion only applies to stockholders that are U.S. persons as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a stockholder in light of his particular circumstances
or to stockholders subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations, foreign individuals and entities, and persons who acquired their common stock as compensation). In addition, this
summary is limited to stockholders that hold their common stock as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax
consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction or alternative minimum tax consequences. The tax
treatment of each stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder.
We have not sought and will
not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the
Reverse Stock Split. We believe, however, that because the Reverse Stock Split is not part of a plan to periodically increase or
decrease any stockholder’s proportionate interest in the assets or earnings and profits of our company, the Reverse Stock
Split should have the federal income tax effects described below:
|
§
|
The exchange of pre-split shares for post-split shares should not result in
recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
|
|
§
|
The stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the post-split shares would
equal that stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-split shares.
|
|
§
|
The stockholder’s holding period for the post-split shares will include
such stockholder’s holding period for the pre-split shares.
|
|
§
|
Provided that a stockholder held the pre-split shares as a capital asset, the
post-split shares received in exchange therefor would also be held as a capital asset.
|
We believe that our Company
should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Our view regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse
Stock Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. We urge all stockholders to consult their own tax advisers
to determine the particular federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to each of them of the Reverse Stock Split.
TO
ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, STOCKHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX
ISSUES IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY STOCKHOLDERS FOR
THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON STOCKHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED
HEREIN BY THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) BY THE COMPANY OF THE
TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM
AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
PROPOSAL NUMBER TWO:TO
FILE WITH THE STATE OF FLORIDA AMENDMENT(S) TO THE DESIGNATION(S) OF CERTAIN SERIES OF PREFERRED STOCK
On November 12, 2019, the
Board recommended to the Shareholders, and by the close of business on November 18, 2019, the Holders of a majority of each Series
of Preferred Stock affected herein approved by written consent to approve a resolution in favor of the filing of Amendment(s) to
the Designation(s) of certain shares of Preferred Stock, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Amendment(s) will affect only the Conversion
Rights of the shares, and the Voting Rights of the shares, as detailed below:
|
a.
|
Holders of the Series B, D, D1, E, E1, F, F1, G, G1, H, H1, I, J, J1, L, L1, M, and P Preferred Stock shall have

defined herein, divided by the closing market price as reported on such national exchange where the Company’s common stock
is traded on the date of conversion.

|
|
|
For Example. If the closing price of the common stock as reported on such national exchange where the Company’s

|
|
|
|
For Example. If the closing price of the common stock as reported on such national exchange where the Company’s
common stock is traded is $5.00 one (1) preferred share would convert into two (2) shares of common stock.
|
|
b.
|
Holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall have Conversion Rights such
that upon Conversion each one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock shall convert into one hundred thousand (100,000) shares of
the Common Stock. In the event that the Company should up list to a national exchange as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission , each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall automatically be redeemed by the Company in exchange for a total of Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) worth of the Common Stock, valued at the time of redemption.
|
|
c.
|
Holders if the Series K and K1 Preferred Stock shall have Conversion Rights

Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to which a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of
any common shares that such person or group has the right to acquire within 60 days after November 18, 2019. For purposes of

such person or group has the right to acquire within 60 days after November 18, 2019 are deemed outstanding but are not
deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group.
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION OF THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS

avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation pursuant to this Series B Preferred
Stock), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (including by way of reverse
stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification of shares of
the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of

Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any
time while Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to Holders) evidences of its
indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion
Price shall be determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of
the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value
at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share
of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in
a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription
rights applicable to one share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall
become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

of any such shares of Common Stock shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 6, the number
of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
