To Our Stockholders:

 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the following actions will be taken pursuant to a written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company dated June 28, 2022, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders. Such actions will be taken on or about *, 2022:

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

 

As of the Record Date, the Company’s authorized capitalization consisted of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 977,741,469 shares were issued and outstanding. Holders of Common Stock of the Company have no preemptive rights to acquire or subscribe to any of the additional shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company has authorized 20,000,000 shares of preferred shares of which 45,000 of Series B Preferred Shares, 700 Series C Preferred Shares and 20,000 Series H Preferred Shares are presently outstanding.

 

Series B Preferred Shares

 

On November 1, 2011, the Company and certain creditors entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby without admitting any wrongdoing on either part, the parties settled all previous agreements and resolved any existing disputes. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the creditors 45,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company on a pro-rata basis. Following the issuance and delivery of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to said creditors, as well as surrendering the undelivered shares, the Settlement Agreement resulted in the settlement of all debts, liabilities and obligations between the parties.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $30.00 per share representing 30 posts split common shares. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock votes on an as converted basis and carries standard anti-dilution rights. These rights were subsequently removed, except in cases of stock dividends or splits.

 

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares outstanding.

 

Series C Preferred Shares

 

On April 29, 2011, GV Global Communications, Inc. (“GV”) provided funding to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $111,000 (the “Loan”).

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of GV, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The Conversion Price for each share is equal to a 50% discount to the average of the lowest three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 10-day trading period prior to the conversion with a minimum conversion price of $0.02. The stated value is $11.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). The Series C Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into. GV has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Series C Preferred Stock and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, GV Global Communications, Inc. converted 7,770 of its Series C Preferred Stock into 120 post-splits. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company received 42 post-split common shares to adjust the shares issued to reflect the amount that both they and the Company believed that they were owed. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, GV owns 700 Series C Preferred Shares.

 

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 700 Series C Preferred Shares outstanding.

 

Series H Preferred Shares

 

On June 17, 2019, the Company, AltCorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AltCorp”), GBT Technologies, S.A., a Costa Rica company (“GBT-CR”) and Pablo Gonzalez, a shareholder’s representative of GBT-CR (“Gonzalez”), entered into and closed an Exchange Agreement (the “GBT Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties exchanged certain securities. In accordance with the Exchange Agreement, AltCorp acquired 625,000 shares of GBT-CR representing 25% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock from Gonzalez in exchange for the issuance of 20,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and a Convertible Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 issued by the Company (the “Gopher Convertible Note”) as well as additional consideration. The Gopher Convertible Note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of Gonzalez, the Gopher Convertible Note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share). The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible into.

 

Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders.

 

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the actions will not be adopted until a date at least 20 days after the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the stockholders.

AMENDMENT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO

INCREASE OF AUTHORIZED SHARES

 

On June 28, 2022, the majority stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 2,000,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares. The Company currently has authorized capital stock of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and approximately 977,741,469 shares of Common Stock are outstanding as of July 5, 2022. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) believes that the increase in authorized common shares would provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the Company’s capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financings, and stock based acquisitions.

 

The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized Common Stock will not alter the current number of issued shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under this amendment.

 

As of *, 2022, a total of 977,741,469 shares of the Company’s currently authorized 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding. The increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would enable the Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes.

 

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company’s stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company, even if the persons seeking to obtain control of the Company offer an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company’s management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company’s current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Company does not have any other provisions in its certificate or incorporation, by-laws, employment agreements, credit agreements or any other documents that have material anti-takeover consequences. Additionally, the Company has no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements, except as disclosed below, that may have material anti-takeover consequences. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti- takeover device.

 

Stockholders should recognize that, as a result of this proposal, they will own a fewer percentage of shares with respect to the total authorized shares of the Company, than they presently own, and will be diluted as a result of any issuances contemplated by the Company in the future.

 

Except as set forth below, there are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock which are proposed to be authorized:

 

Series B Preferred Shares

 

On November 1, 2011, the Company and certain creditors entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby without admitting any wrongdoing on either part, the parties settled all previous agreements and resolved any existing disputes. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the creditors 45,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company on a pro-rata basis. Following the issuance and delivery of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to said creditors, as well as surrendering the undelivered shares, the Settlement Agreement resulted in the settlement of all debts, liabilities and obligations between the parties.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 per share and is convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $30.00 per share representing 30 posts split common shares. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock votes on an as converted basis and carries standard anti-dilution rights. These rights were subsequently removed, except in cases of stock dividends or splits.

 

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 45,000 Series B Preferred Shares outstanding.

 

Series C Preferred Shares

 

On April 29, 2011, GV Global Communications, Inc. (“GV”) provided funding to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $111,000 (the “Loan”).

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of GV, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value (as defined below) by the Conversion Price (as defined below). The Conversion Price for each share is equal to a 50% discount to the average of the lowest three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock during the 10-day trading period prior to the conversion with a minimum conversion price of $0.02. The stated value is $11.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). The Series C Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible into. GV has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Series C Preferred Stock and receive shares of the Company’s common stock such that the number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, GV Global Communications, Inc. converted 7,770 of its Series C Preferred Stock into 120 post-splits.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 700 Series C Preferred Shares outstanding.

 

Series H Preferred Shares

 

On June 17, 2019, the Company, AltCorp Trading LLC, a Costa Rica company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AltCorp”), GBT Technologies, S.A., a Costa Rica company (“GBT-CR”) and Pablo Gonzalez, a shareholder’s representative of GBT-CR (“Gonzalez”), entered into and closed an Exchange Agreement (the “GBT Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties exchanged certain securities. In accordance with the Exchange Agreement, AltCorp acquired 625,000 shares of GBT-CR representing 25% of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock from Gonzalez in exchange for the issuance of 20,000 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and a Convertible Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000 issued by the Company (the “Gopher Convertible Note”) as well as additional consideration. The Gopher Convertible Note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of Gonzalez, the Gopher Convertible Note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($10.00 per share). The Series H Preferred Stock has no liquidation preference, does not pay dividends and the holder of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that the Series H Preferred Stock may be convertible into.

In accordance with the acquisition of GBT-CR the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $10,000,000. The convertible note bears interest of 6% per annum and is payable at maturity on December 31, 2021. At the election of the holder, the convertible note can be converted into a maximum of 20,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder but subject to the Company increasing its authorized shares of common stock, into such number of shares of common stock of the Company as determined by dividing the Stated Value ($500 per share) by the conversion price ($500.00 per share). This convertible note may convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest trading price with a 20-day look back immediately preceding the date of conversion and therefore recorded as derivative liability.

 

On May 19, 2021, the Company, Gonzalez, GBT-CR and IGOR 1 Corp entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement and Irrevocable Assignment of outstanding balance plus accrued interest (the “Gonzalez Agreement”). Pursuant to the Gonzalez Agreement, without any party admission of liability and to avoid litigation, the parties has agreed to (i) extend the GBT convertible note maturity date to December 31, 2022, (ii) amend the GBT convertible note terms to include a beneficial ownership blocker of 4.99% and a modified conversion feature to the GBT convertible note with 15% discount to the market price during the 20 trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date and (iii) provided for an assignment of the GBT convertible note by Gonzalez to a third party. As a result of the change in terms of this convertible note, the Company took a charge related to the modification of debt of $13,777,480 during the year ended December 31, 2021. This convertible note is recorded as derivative liability because of the discounted price on conversion.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, IGOR 1 converted $1,284,600 of the convertible note into 4,185,650 shares of the Company’s common stock. Also, on June 24, 2021, the Company transferred 5,500,000 SURG shares received as repayment of $660,000 of this convertible note.

 

As of March 31, 2022, the note had an outstanding balance of $8,055,400 and accrued interest of $1,664,447.

 

Redstart Holdings Corp

 

On September 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Redstart pursuant to which the Company issued to Redstart a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Redstart Note No. 7”) in the aggregate principal amount of $244,500 for a purchase price of $203,750. The Redstart Note No. 7 has a maturity date of December 22, 2022 and the Company has agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Redstart Note No. 7 at the rate of two and a half percent (2.5%) per annum from the date on which the Redstart Note No. 7 is issued (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The Company shall have the right to prepay the Redstart Note No. 7, provided it makes a payment including a prepayment to Redstart as set forth in the Redstart Note No. 7. The transactions described above closed on September 28, 2021. The outstanding principal amount of the Redstart Note No. 7 may not be converted prior to the period beginning on the date that is 180 days following the Issue Date. Following the 180th day, Redstart may convert the Redstart Note No. 7 into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest trading price with a 20-day look back immediately preceding the date of conversion. Since the conversion price will vary based on the Company’s stock price, the beneficial conversion feature associated with this note is accounted for as a derivative liability. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the Redstart Note No. 7), the Redstart Note No. 7 shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to Redstart, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, additional amounts as set forth in the Redstart Note No. 7. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Redstart converted $35,000 of its convertible note into 369,198 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2022, the note had an outstanding balance of $209,500 and accrued interest of $3,091.

The DL Note has a maturity date of August 4, 2023 and the Company has agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the DL Note at the rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum from the date on which the DL Note is issued (the “Issue Date”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The Company shall have the right to prepay the DL Note at any time from the Issue Date and continuing through 180 days following the Issue Date, provided it makes a payment including a prepayment premium to DL as set forth in the DL Note. The transactions described above funded on May 9, 2022. The outstanding principal amount of the DL Note may not be converted prior to the period beginning on the date that is 180 days following the Issue Date. Following the 180th day, DL may convert the DL Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest trading price during the 20-day period immediately preceding the date of conversion. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in the DL Note), the DL Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to DL, in full satisfaction of its obligations hereunder, additional amounts as set forth in the DL Note. In no event shall DL be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by DL and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. Unless the Company shall have first delivered to DL, at least 48 hours prior to the closing of any equity (or debt with an equity component) financing in an amount less than $150,000 (“Future Offering”), written notice describing the proposed Future Offering and providing the Buyer an option during the 48 hour period following delivery of such notice to DL the securities being offered in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering then the Company is restricted from conducting the Future Offering during the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending nine months following the Issue Date.

 

Stanley Hills LLC

 

The Company entered into a series of loan agreements with Stanley Hills LLC (“Stanley”) pursuant to which it received more than $1,000,000 in loans (the “Debt”) since May 2019 up to December 2019. On February 26, 2020, in order to induce Stanley to continue to provide funding, the Company and Stanley entered into a letter agreement providing that the current note payable balance due to Stanley in the amount of $1,214,900 may be converted into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 85% multiplied by the lowest one trading price for the common stock during the 20-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Since the conversion price will vary based on the Company’s stock price, the beneficial conversion feature associated with this note is accounted for as a derivative liability. Stanley has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Debt and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Stanley converted $1,231,466 of its convertible note plus interest into 4,420,758 shares of the Company’s common stock, and during the year ended December 31, 2021, Stanley loaned the Company an additional $325,000. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company transferred the SURG shares received as repayment of $800,000 of this convertible note and also converted $126,003 of accrued interest into the principal balance. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Gonzalez assigned all his accrued balances of $424,731 to Stanley in a private transaction. The balance of the Stanley debt at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $116,605 and $116,605, respectively. The unpaid interest of the Stanley debt at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $11,247 and $8,372, respectively. The Stanley debt was secured via a pledge agreement on the SURG shares.

 

$8,340,000 Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture

 

10
 

 

On December 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued a Senior Secured Redeemable Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate face value of $8,340,000. In connection with the issuance of the Debenture and pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to acquire up to 225,000 shares of common stock for a term of three years (the “Warrant”) on a cash-only basis at an exercise price of $100.00 per share with respect to 50,000 Warrant Shares, $75.00 with respect to 75,000 Warrant Shares and $50.00 with respect to 100,000 Warrant Shares. The holder may not exercise any portion of the Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock immediately after exercise. The outstanding principal amount may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 95% of the Market Price less $5.00 (the conversion price is lowered by 10% upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event – the current conversion price is 75% of the Market Price less $5.00). The Market Price is the average of the 5 lowest individual daily volume weighted average prices during the period the Debenture is outstanding. On May 28, 2019, the Investor delivered to the Company a “Notice of Default and Notice of Sale of Collateral” (the “Notice”). On December 23, 2019, in arbitration between the Company and the Investor, an Interim Award was entered in favor of the Investor. On January 31, 2020, the Company was informed that a final award was entered (the “Final Award”). The Final Award affirms that certain sections of the Debenture constitute unenforceable liquidated damages penalties and were stricken. Further, it was determined that the Investor was entitled to recovery of their attorney’s fees. Consequently, the arbitrator awarded Investor an award of $4,034,444 plus interest of 7.25% accrued from May 15, 2019 and costs in the amount of $55,613. On February 18, 2020, the Company filed a motion with the United States District Court District of Nevada (the “Nevada Court”) to confirm the Final Award and a motion to consolidate Investor’s application to confirm the Final Award filed in the U.S. District Court of the Virgin Islands (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM) (the “Virgin Island Court”). On February 27, 2020, the Nevada Court denied the Company’s motion to confirm the Final Award and motion to consolidate and further decided that the confirmation of the Final Award should be litigated in the Virgin Island Court. As such, on February 27, 2020, the Company filed a Notice of Entry of Order as well as a Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award, address the outstanding issues regarding whether Investor’s rights are subordinated to other creditors and, thereafter, oversee a commercially reasonable foreclosure sale (Case No: 3 :20-cv-00012-CVG-RM). It was the Company’s position that the Final Award must first be confirmed and all questions regarding the rights of Investor relative to those of other creditors must be determined before any foreclosure sale can proceed. It is further the position of the Company that the previously disclosed foreclosure sale scheduled by Investor is being conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner and that if Discover proceeded forward with the foreclosure sale it did so at its own risk. Nevertheless, on February 28, 2020, Investor advised that it conducted a sale of the Company’s assets. As the date of this report Investor failed to present a deed of sale for the alleged sale that allegedly took place as noticed. The Company filed with Virgin Island Court the motions disputing the validity of the alleged sale. On July 28, 2020, Investor filed in the State of Nevada a motion for attorneys $48,844 and costs $716. The Company filed an answer on August 11, 2020. On October 16, 2020, Investor motion for attorneys $48,844 and costs $716 was denied. The balance was included in accounts payable for the unearned settlement. As of March 31, 2022, this case is still pending with the Federal court and the Court has not taken any substantive action in the matter as of the date hereof.

APPROVAL OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

On June 28, 2022, the majority stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding voting shares of the Company approved an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate a Reverse Stock Split at an exchange ratio of up to 1-for-500 (or more plainly stated, up to every 500 existing shares would be exchanged for one new share) as the Board may determine in its sole discretion.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will have no effect on the par value of the Company’s Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Company’s Common Stock is currently quoted on the Pink Current Information tier of the OTC Market Group, Inc. under the symbol “GTCH”.

 

The Board may elect not to implement the approved Reverse Stock Split at its sole discretion. The Board has the maximum flexibility to react to current market conditions and to therefore achieve the purposes of the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, and to act in the best interests of and its stockholders.

 

The Board intends to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to December 31, 2023 (the “Effective Split Time”).

 

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split

 

The Board believes that a Reverse Stock Split is desirable for a number of reasons, including:

 

Improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock. The reason to pursue the Reverse Stock Split is because the Company believes that the increased market price of its Common Stock expected as a result of implementing the Reverse Stock Split may improve the marketability and liquidity of its Common Stock and may encourage interest and trading in its Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in Common Stock (namely, funds that are prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the liquidity of its Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split could help increase analyst and broker interest in Common Stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of the Company’s Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. However, the liquidity of the Common Stock may in fact be adversely affected by the proposed Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Risks of the Reverse Stock Split

 

The Reverse Stock Split may not increase the Company’s market capitalization, which would prevent the Company from realizing some of the anticipated benefits of the Reverse Stock Split. The immediate effect of the Reverse Stock Split would be to reduce the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock and to potentially increase the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock. However, the effect of any effected Reverse Stock Split upon the market price of the Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances sometimes improves stock performance, but in many cases does not. There can be no assurance that the trading price of the Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split or remain at an increased level for any period. Also, there is no assurance that the stock price would not decline below the anticipated stock price following the Reverse Stock Split. The trading price of the Common Stock may change due to a variety of other factors, including’s operating results, other factors related to the Company’s business and general market conditions. In addition, the fewer number of shares that will be available to trade will possibly cause the trading market of the Common Stock to become less liquid, which could have an adverse effect on the price of the Common Stock.

 

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Reduction of Shares Held by Individual Stockholders. After the Effective Split Time, each Common Stockholder will own fewer shares of the Company’s Common Stock. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all of the Common Stockholders uniformly and will not affect any Common Stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of its stockholders owning a fractional share as described below. Any fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

12
 

 

Authorized Shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, would not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock as designated by the Articles. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance under ‘s authorized shares of Common Stock would increase.

 

The additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented could also be used by the Company’s management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. Although the proposed Reverse Stock Split has been prompted by business and financial considerations, stockholders nevertheless should be aware that this action could facilitate future efforts by Company’s management to deter or prevent a change in control.

 

Other Effects on Outstanding SharesIf the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, the rights and preferences of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock would remain the same after the Reverse Stock Split. Each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split would be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

In addition to the above, the Reverse Stock Split will have the following effects upon the Company’s Common Stock:

 

The number of shares owned by each holder of Common Stock will be reduced;
   
The per share loss and net book value of the Common Stock will be increased because there will be a lesser number of shares of Common Stock outstanding;
   
The par value of the Common Stock will remain $0.00001 per share;
   
The stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be decreased and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is decreased; and
   
All outstanding options, warrants, Preferred Stock and convertible securities entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of Common Stock, if any, will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise thereof, fewer of the number of shares of Common Stock which such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split, at the same total price (but a higher per share price) required to be paid upon exercise or conversion thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The voting rights of the Preferred Stock will also be proportionally adjusted.

 

Shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will be fully paid and non-assessable. The amendment will not change any of the other the terms of the Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Once the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, share certificates representing shares of Common Stock will continue to be valid. In the future, new share certificates will be issued reflecting the Reverse Stock Split, but this in no way will affect the validity of your current share certificates. The Reverse Stock Split will occur without any further action on the part of the Company’s stockholders. After the Effective Split Time, each share certificate representing the Common Stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be deemed to represent a smaller number of shares than the number presently shown on any such certificate.

 

The actual number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if and when effected will depend on the number of issued and outstanding shares at the time the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by the Board. The table below shows the Reverse Stock Split ratio and the approximate number of authorized shares of Common Stock to be outstanding for various reverse split ratios:

 

Reverse Stock Split Ratio Outstanding Shares of Common Stock Before the Reverse Split Outstanding Shares of Common Stock Before the Reverse Split
1 for 100 977,741,469 9,777,415
1 for 250 977,741,469 3,910,966
1 for 500 977,741,469 1,955,483

___________ 

  (1) Does not account for the additional issuance of shares of Common Stock after the date hereof as the result of future financings, conversion of outstanding derivative securities or other issuances, which may be substantial.
     
  (2) Does not account for fractional share rounding.

 

Certificates representing the shares after the Reverse Stock Split will be issued in due course as share certificates representing shares prior to the Reverse Stock Split are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company’s transfer agent. The Company requests that stockholders not send in any of their stock certificates at this time.

 

As applicable, new share certificates evidencing new shares following the Reverse Stock Split that are issued in exchange for share certificates issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split representing old shares that are restricted shares will contain the same restrictive legend as on the old certificates. Also, for purposes of determining the term of the restrictive period applicable to the new shares after the Reverse Stock Split, the time period during which a stockholder has held their existing pre-Reverse Stock Split old shares will be included in the total holding period.

 

Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split

 

The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the filing of the amendment to the Articles with the Nevada Secretary of State. The timing of the filing of the amendment that will effectuate the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by the Board, at any time prior to December 31, 2023, based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split 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 interest and the best interests of its stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If the amendment effectuating the Reverse Stock Split has not been filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada by the close of business December 31, 2023, the Board will abandon the Reverse Stock Split.

 

As soon as practicable after the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates for record holders (i.e., stockholders who hold their shares directly in their own name and not through a broker). Record holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares will be asked to surrender to the transfer agent certificates representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in exchange for a book entry with the transfer agent or certificates representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by the Company. No new certificates will be issued to a 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.

 

For street name holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares (i.e., stockholders who hold their shares through a broker), your broker will make the appropriate adjustment to the number of shares held in your account following the Effective Split Time.

 

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

 

No service charges, brokerage commissions or transfer taxes will be payable by any stockholder, except that if any new stock certificates are to be issued in a name other than that in which the surrendered certificate(s) are registered it will be a condition of such issuance that (1) the person requesting such issuance pays all applicable transfer taxes resulting from the transfer (or prior to transfer of such certificate, if any) or establishes to ‘s satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable, (2) the transfer complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (3) the surrendered certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares, upon surrender to the exchange agent of such certificates representing such fractional shares, will receive a number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

14
 

 

Accounting Matters

 

The par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.00001 per share after the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, at the Effective Split Time, the stated capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet attributable to Common Stock will be reduced and the additional paid-in-capital account will be increased by the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Per share net income or loss will be increased because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, will arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

Each stockholder is advised to consult their own tax advisor as the following discussion may be limited, modified or not apply based on your own particular situation.

 

The following is a summary of important tax considerations of the Reverse Stock Split. It addresses only stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares and post-Reverse Stock Split shares as capital assets. It does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, mutual funds, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as part of a straddle, hedge, or conversion transaction, stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as qualified small business stock within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), stockholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, and stockholders who acquired their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. This summary is based upon current law, which may change, possibly even retroactively. It does not address tax considerations under state, local, foreign, and other laws. Furthermore, the Company has not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of legal or tax counsel with respect to the consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as reorganization, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the Reverse Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged.

 

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

 

To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, each holder of Common Stock is hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this information statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by such holder for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on such holder under the Code; (b) any such discussion has been included by in furtherance of the Reverse Stock Split on the terms described herein and (c) each such holder should seek advice based on its particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

 

No Appraisal Rights

 

Under the NRS, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposed amendment to the Articles to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split.

 

15
 

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

The overall effect of the Reverse Stock Split may be to render more difficult the accomplishment of mergers or the assumption of control by a principal stockholder and thus make the removal of management more difficult.

 

The effective increase in the Company’s authorized and unissued shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split could potentially be used by the Board to thwart a takeover attempt. The over-all effects of this might be to discourage, or make it more difficult to engage in, a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, or the acquisition or assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company’s securities and the removal of incumbent management. The Reverse Stock Split could make the accomplishment of a merger or similar transaction more difficult, even if it is beneficial to stockholders. The Board might use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction, favored by a majority of the independent stockholders that would provide an above-market premium, by issuing additional shares to frustrate the takeover effort.

 

As discussed above, the reasons for the Reverse Stock Split include the potential increase of the ability of institutions to purchase the Company’s Common Stock and the interest in its Common Stock by analysts and brokers. This Reverse Stock Split is not the result of management’s knowledge of an effort to accumulate securities or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise.

 

Additionally, the Reverse Stock Split is not being conducted in an effort to take the Company private.
