Item 8.01. Other
Events
On July 16, 2009, a
special meeting (the Special Meeting) of the stockholders of Commerce Energy
Group, Inc. (the Corporation) was held to consider and vote upon a
proposal to adopt the Plan of Liquidation (the Plan of Liquidation) set forth
on Annex A to the Corporations definitive proxy statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on June 4, 2009 (the
Proxy Statement) and to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn or
postpone the Special Meeting to a later date or time, if necessary or
appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event there were insufficient
votes at the time of such adjournment or postponement to adopt the Plan of
Liquidation.
At the time the Special
Meeting was called to order on July 16, 2009, there was less than a
majority of the Corporations outstanding shares of common stock, par value
$0.001 per share, present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting. Without the required quorum, no business
could be transacted at the Special Meeting and the Special Meeting was
adjourned without a vote upon either the proposal to adopt the Plan of
Liquidation or the proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting to a
later date or time.
Following the conclusion
of the Special Meeting, the Corporations sole director and sole remaining executive
officer asked the Corporations registered agent in the State of Delaware to
resign without designating a replacement.
This action was consistent with the Corporations previous disclosures
as set forth in the Proxy Statement as to what actions the Corporation intended
to take if the Corporations stockholders did not vote to adopt the Plan of
Liquidation at the Special Meeting.
Accordingly, on August 4,
2009, the Corporations registered agent in the state of Delaware resigned
without designating a replacement. As a
result, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Corporations
charter will be forfeited 30 days after such date. Following the effectiveness of the forfeiture
of the Corporations charter, with the exception of the activities noted in the
next sentence, the Corporation will suspend all business activities. Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Corporation shall be continued for three years after the effectiveness
of the forfeiture, or for such longer period as the Delaware Court of Chancery
shall direct, for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits, whether
civil, criminal or administrative, by or against the Corporation, and enabling
the Corporation to gradually settle and close its business, dispose of and
convey its property, discharge its liabilities and distribute its remaining
assets, but not for the purpose of continuing the business for which it was
organized or any other business. Any
legal action commenced by or against the Corporation during this three-year
period will not terminate by reason of the expiration of such period.
In addition, the
Corporation anticipates that its sole remaining director and sole remaining
executive officer will resign within 30 days of August 4, 2009, as each
previously indicated he intended to do if the Corporations stockholders did
not vote to adopt the Plan of Liquidation at the Special Meeting.
As noted in the Proxy
Statement, following the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K with
the Commission, the Corporation will cease filing reports with the Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
