GENERAL INFORMATION

  

In this Information Statement we refer to Propanc Health Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

 

This Information Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Propanc Health Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “We”) to inform the stockholders of action already approved by written consent (the “Written Consent”) as of November 11, 2014 (the “Record Date”) by the majority stockholders, James Nathanielsz, Julian Kenyon and Douglas Mitchell (the “Majority Stockholder”).  As of the Record Date, the Majority Shareholder held of record 53,452,439 shares of our common stock (the “Common Stock”). As a result, the Majority Shareholder holdings represent 64.83% of the total outstanding shares.  

 

Action by Written Consent

 

The following actions were approved by the written consent of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting stock as of the Record Date, which we refer to as the Written Consent, in lieu of a special meeting:

 

  the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to increase the Company’s authorized Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Amendment”).

 

The Amendment is more fully described in the accompanying Information Statement.  The Written Consent was in accordance with the §228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our bylaws, each of which permits that any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may also be taken by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power to approve the action at a meeting.  The accompanying Information Statement is being furnished to all of our shareholders in accordance with Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) thereunder, solely for the purpose of informing out shareholders of the action taken by the Written Consent before it becomes effective.   This information statement will be mailed on or about December 18, 2014 to stockholders of the Record Date.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

ABOUT THE INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

What is the Purpose of the Information Statement?

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act to notify our shareholders of certain corporate actions taken by the Majority Shareholders pursuant to the Written Consent.  In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to effect the Action as early as possible to accomplish the purposes hereafter described, the Board elected to seek the written consent of the Majority Shareholders to reduce the costs and implement the Action in a timely manner.

 

Who is Entitled to Notice?

 

Each outstanding share of Common Stock as of record on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of the actions to be taken pursuant to the Written Consent. 

 

What Vote is Required to Approve the Action?

 

The affirmative vote of Majority Shareholders of the Company outstanding on the Record Date is required for approval of the Action.  As of the Record Date, the Company had 82,444,100 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders.  However, because the Majority Shareholders, holding a majority of the voting rights of the Company as of the close of business on the Record Date, voted in favor of the Action, no other shareholder consents will be obtained in connection with this Information Statement.

 

Do I have appraisal rights?

 

Neither §228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law nor our Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws provide our stockholders with appraisal rights in connection with the Action discussed in this Information Statement.

 

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

 

This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the actions approved by the Board and the Majority Stockholders.

 

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 100,000,000 SHARES TO 10,000,000,000 SHARES

 

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value of $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share. On November 11, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Certificate of Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, to increase the amount of authorized common stock of the Company from 100,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Amendment”).

 

The Board will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The increase in our authorized common stock will become effective on the date of filing.

 

Reason for Increase in Authorized Shares

 

The general purpose and effect of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in authorizing ten billion (10,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock is to facilitate various financing agreements to enable the company to continue its current business operations.

 

Advantages, Disadvantages and Effects of the Proposed Increase in the Authorized Common Stock

 

In addition to the foregoing, in our efforts to further our business, our Board may seek to complete additional financings in the near future. At this time we do not have any plans to issue any additional shares. However, if and when we do determine to pursue an additional financing or business transaction, having additional authorized capital available for issuance in the future will give us flexibility and may allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of another shareholder meeting.

 

Additionally, at this time, the increase in authorized shares of common stock is not in any way related to any plans or intentions to enter into a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business transaction.

 

 
 

 

Further, there are certain advantages and disadvantages of an increase in our authorized stock. The advantages include, among others, the ability to raise capital by issuing capital stock under the transactions described above, or other financing transactions, and to have shares of our capital stock available to pursue business expansion opportunities, if any. The disadvantages include, among others, the issuance of additional shares of our capital stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of us that may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a stockholder that will vote in accordance with our Board’s desires. A takeover may be beneficial to independent stockholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer such stockholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price. We do not have any plans or proposals to adopt provisions or enter into agreements that may have material anti-takeover consequences. In addition, shareholders do not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of common stock that may be issued in the future and, therefore, future issuances of common stock may, depending on the circumstances, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and other interests of our existing shareholders.

 

Authorized, but unissued shares of common stock, may be used by the Company for any purpose permitted under Delaware law, including but not limited to, paying stock dividends to stockholders, raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees, officers, directors, and service providers, and entering into transactions that the Board believes provide the potential for growth and profit. Although, except as discussed hereof, we presently have no plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement to issue additional shares of common stock (except pursuant to employee benefit plans or outstanding derivative securities), the Company may, in the future, issue common stock in connection with the activities described above or otherwise.

 

The increase in the authorized shares of common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, as discussed above, if the shareholders approve the proposed amendment, our Board may cause the issuance of additional shares without further vote of our shareholders. These future issuances may be dilutive to our current common shareholders and may cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock. Current holders of common stock do not have preemptive or similar rights which means that current shareholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of our capital stock in order to maintain their proportionate ownership. The issuance of additional shares of common stock would decrease the proportionate equity interest of our current shareholders and could result in dilution to our current shareholders.

 

As discussed above, the proposed amendment could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the intention of this Action. For example, in the event of a hostile attempt to obtain control of the Company, it may be possible for the Company to endeavor to impede the attempt by issuing shares of common stock, which would dilute the voting power of the other outstanding shares and increasing the potential cost to acquire control of the Company. The proposed amendment therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts, potentially limiting the opportunity for our shareholders to dispose of their shares at a premium, which is often offered in takeover attempts, or that may be available under a merger proposal. The proposed amendment may have the effect of permitting our current management, including the current Board, to retain its position, and place it in a better position to resist changes that shareholders may wish to make if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of our business. However, our Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company, and our Board has not presented this Action with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.

  

Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal

 

Neither of §228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law nor our Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws provide our stockholders with dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the Action discussed in this Information Statement

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

 

As disclosed under the section entitled “Action to be Taken”, the Board, consisting of the two members, James Nathanielsz and Julian Kenyon, approved the Amendment, and Majority Stockholders of the Company further approved the Amendment. James Nathanielsz is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

Except the foregoing and disclosed elsewhere in this Information Statement, being the commencement of our last financial year, none of the following persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise in any matter to be acted upon:

 

1.  Any director or officer of our corporation;
   
2.  Any proposed nominee for election as a director of our corporation; and
   
3. Any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons.

 

The shareholdings of our directors and officer are listed below in the section entitled "Principal Shareholders and Security Ownership of Management".  To our knowledge, the directors have not advised that they intend to oppose the Amendments, as more particularly described herein.

 

 
 

 

OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES

 

As of the date of the Consent by the Majority Stockholder, November 11, 2014, the Company had 82,444,100 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of outstanding Common Stock is entitled to one vote on matters submitted for Stockholder approval.

 

On November 11, 2014, the holders of 64.83% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and voting rights executed and delivered to the Company the Written Consent approving the action set forth herein. Since the action has been approved by the Majority Stockholder, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.

 

§228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides in substance that unless the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise, stockholders may take action without a meeting of stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present.

 

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS AND SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our shares of common stock beneficially owned as of December 18, 2014, for (i) each stockholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each named executive officer and director, and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group.
