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 stockholders of certain corporate actions taken by the Majority Voting Stockholders 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 Voting Stockholders to reduce the costs and implement the Action in a timely manner.
Who is Entitled to Notice?
Each outstanding share of Common Stock and Series A Preferred 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 Voting Stockholders of the Company on the Record Date is required for approval of the Action. As of the Record Date, the Company had 346,592,013 shares of Common Stock and 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders. In addition, each Series A Preferred Stock entitles its holder to 500 votes as of the Record Date. Because the Majority Voting Stockholders, 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 stockholder 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 Voting Stockholders.
AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO DECREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 10,000,000,000 SHARES TO 2,000,000,000 SHARES
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorized the issuance of 10,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. On June 10, 2015, 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 decrease the amount of authorized Common Stock of the Company from 10,000,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
The Board will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The decrease in our authorized Common Stock will become effective on the date of filing.
Reason for Decrease in Authorized Shares
The general purpose and effect of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in authorizing two billion (2,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock is to facilitate various financing agreements in the future to enable the company to continue its current business operations.
Reasons for and Effect of the Amendment
The Board believes that the Company’s stockholders may benefit from the decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue because potential investors could be wary of such a large number of authorized but unissued shares. In addition, the decrease in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock could limit some anti-takeover strategies that could be implemented, as the number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable would be decreased which would limit the Company’s ability to issue additional shares of Common Stock and thereby dilute the ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company.
This decrease in our authorized common shares will have no material effect on the rights of existing stockholders, since it will not change the percentage of ownership of the Company of any stockholder. Moreover, the adoption of the Action will not of itself without further action of our Board cause or result in any changes in our current capital accounts or outstanding Common Stock.
Although we are reducing the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock compared to outstanding shares of Common Stock due to these Actions, there remains the potential that such Actions could continue to have an anti-takeover effect, such as permitting the issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose stockholder efforts to amend or repeal the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company. Using available authorized shares in this manner could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to acquire control of the Company even if such a transaction would be beneficial to stockholders.
The Board is not aware of any such actual or contemplated takeover attempt. Currently, we have no definitive plans or arrangements to issue any such shares, although the Company evaluates from time to time potential transactions that may result in the issuance of shares. Any such use or issuance of our shares would be regardless of whether the Amendment is effectuated.
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 Voting 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 Stockholders 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 Record Date, the Company had 346,592,013 shares of Common Stock and 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of outstanding Common Stock is entitled to one vote on matters submitted for stockholder approval. Each share of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 500 votes as of the Record Date.
On June 10, 2015, the holders of 53.88% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and voting rights underlying the Series A Preferred Stock respectively executed and delivered to the Company the Written Consent approving the actions set forth herein. Since the actions have been approved by the Majority Voting Stockholders, 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 STOCKHOLDERS AND SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information regarding our shares of common stock beneficially owned as of June 9, 2015, 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. A person is considered to beneficially own any shares: (i) over which such person, directly or indirectly, exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or (ii) of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days through an exercise of stock options or warrants. Unless otherwise indicated, voting and investment power relating to the shares shown in the table for our directors and executive officers is exercised solely by the beneficial owner or shared by the owner and the owner’s spouse or children.
For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days of June 9, 2015. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of June 9, 2015 is deemed to be outstanding, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
