ACTION BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND
CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
By unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company on
August 14, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted resolutions approving a forward
split of the Company's Common Stock on the basis of eight shares for every one
outstanding old share new or post split, (the "Split"). The Board adopted
resolutions authorizing the submission of this proposal to the shareholders for
vote, and recommended a "vote" for this proposal to the shareholders. The Board
Consent is attached hereto as Appendix A . The action taken by the Board of
Directors with respect to the Forward Split and amending the Company's Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect the Split (the "Amendment") was
subsequently adopted by the written consent of the Company's stockholders
entitled to vote a majority of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding on
August 15, 2009 (the "Stockholder Consent"). The Stockholder Consent is attached
hereto as Appendix B.
The reasons for, and general effect of, the Forward Split are described in
"APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A SPLIT OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AND
AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE
SPLIT."
The Board of Directors retains authority at anytime prior to the
effectiveness of the filing of the Amendment to the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation to effectuate said stock split, to abandon the contemplated
Amendment to its Articles and stock split, in its sole discretion, and without
further action or consent of the shareholders.
The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no other matters other than
that described in this Information Statement which have been recently approved
or considered by the holders of the Common Stock.
GENERAL
This Information Statement is first being mailed or furnished to
stockholders on or about October 7, 2009. The Company will pay all costs
associated with the distribution of this Information Statement, including the
costs of printing and mailing. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and
other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by
them in sending this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the
Common Stock. This Information Statement is being furnished by the Corporation
and is available through the EDGAR FILING SYSTEM available to the general public

VOTE OBTAINED -- NEVADA LAW
In order to effectuate the Stock Split, the Nevada Revised Statutes require
that such action be approved by the Company's Board of Directors and approved by
a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. The Nevada Revised
Statutes also provide that any action which may be taken at a meeting of the
shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a
written consent, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of
a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. In order to eliminate the
costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of
2
Directors voted to utilize and obtained the written consent of the holders of a
majority in interest of our Common Stock. As of August 15, 2009, there were
9,960,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding. Each
holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held by such
holder.
Stockholders holding in the aggregate 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or
60% of the Common Stock outstanding on such date, approved the 8 for 1 forward
Split and the filing of the Amendment.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership
of our Common Stock as of August 15, 2009 (i) by each person who is known by us
to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock; (ii) by each of our

NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION
APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
The following action has been approved by the written consent of the
holders together entitled to vote a majority of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock:
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A SPLIT OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK AND
AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE
SPLIT
3
PURPOSE OF THE SPLIT
The Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best
interest to effect a split of our Common Stock of eight shares for every one
share outstanding so that every one outstanding share of Common Stock before the
stock split shall represent eight share of Common Stock after the stock split
with (the "Split"). The Board of Directors believes that our Common Stock is
overvalued and that the Split will allow the Company's Common Stock to trade in
a more realistic and active price range. Consequently, the Board of Directors
has recommended that we effect the Split.
PRINCIPAL EFFECTS OF THE SPLIT
On the effective date of the Split, each share of our Common Stock issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Split effective date (the "Old Shares")
will automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders be
converted into eight shares of our Common Stock (the "New Shares"). In the
following discussion, we provide examples of the effects of a eight-for-one
stock split.
CORPORATE MATTERS. The Split would have the following effects based upon
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 15, 2009:
* in an eight-for-one stock split, every one of our Old Shares owned by
a stockholder would be exchanged for eight New Shares; and
* the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will
be increased from 9,960,000 shares to 79,680,000 shares.
The Split will be effected simultaneously for all of our outstanding Common
Stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all of our outstanding Common
Stock. The Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not
affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company. Common
Stock issued pursuant to the Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. We
will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
FRACTIONAL SHARES. No scrip or fractional share certificates will be issued
in connection with the Reverse Split.
OPTIONS AND WARRANTS. There are no options or warrants issued or
outstanding.
AUTHORIZED SHARES. The Company is presently authorized under its Articles
of Incorporation to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock. Upon effectiveness of the Split, the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock would remain the same, although the number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will increase. The issuance in the
4
future of additional shares of our Common Stock may have the effect of diluting
the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership
and voting rights of the currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock.
Authorized but unissued shares will be available for issuance, and we may issue
such shares in future financings or otherwise. If we issue additional shares,
the ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock may be diluted. Also, if
the issued shares are preferred class, they may have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of our Common Stock.
ACCOUNTING MATTERS. The Split will not affect the par value of our Common
Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Split, the stated capital on
our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be increased in
proportion to the Split ratio (that is, in an eight-for-one stock split, the
stated capital attributable to our Common Stock will be increased to eight times
of its existing amount) and the Additional Paid-In Capital Account shall be
debited (reduced) with the amount by which the Stated Capital Account is
credited (increased). The per share net income or loss and net book value of our
Common Stock will also be decreased because there will be more shares of our
Common Stock outstanding.
PROCEDURE FOR EFFECTING A STOCK SPLIT AND EXCHANGE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES
The Split will be accomplished by amending the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to include the paragraph immediately below substantially in the
following form:
"The Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, designated
"Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock," respectively. The total number of
shares that the Company is authorized to issue is 200,000,000 shares. The
number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue is
100,000,000 shares $.00001 par value, and the number of shares of Preferred
Stock that the Company is authorized to issue is 100,000,000 shares
$0.00001 par value. The Board of Directors of the Company is hereby
authorized to provide for the issue of all or any of the remaining shares
of the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and to fix the number of
shares and to determine or alter, for each such series, such powers,
designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other
rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as
shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by
the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series and as may be
permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada. Effective
upon filing of this Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation,
each one (1) outstanding share of Common Stock shall be split into eight
(8) share of Common Stock."
5
A copy of the form of Certificate of Amendment of the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company is attached hereto as APPENDIX C.
The Split will become effective at such future date as determined by the
Board of Directors, as evidenced by the filing of the Amendment with the
Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (which we refer to as the "Effective
Time"), but in no event earlier than the 21st calendar day following the mailing
of this Information Statement. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate
representing Old Shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence
ownership of New Shares.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, stockholders will be
notified that the Split has been effected. The Company expects that its transfer
agent, Empire Stock Transfer will act as exchange agent for purposes of
implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of Old Shares will be
asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing Old Shares in
exchange for certificates representing New Shares in accordance with the
procedures to be set forth in the letter of transmittal the Company sends to its
stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to any 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. Any Old Shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a
sale, other disposition or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for New
Shares. Empire Stock Transfer does not charge a fee for each certificate issued
representing New Shares.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT
SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT
The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the Split to a current stockholder of the Company
that is a "United States person," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") (sometimes referred to herein as a "U.S.
stockholder"), and who holds stock of the Company as a "capital asset," as
defined in Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not purport to be a
complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the Split. Tax
considerations applicable to a particular stockholder will depend on that
stockholder's individual circumstances. The discussion does not address the tax
consequences that may be relevant to particular categories of stockholders
subject to special treatment under certain U.S. federal income tax laws (such as
6
dealers in securities or currencies, banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment
companies, real estate investment companies, real estate mortgage investment
conduits and foreign individuals and entities). The discussion also does not
address any tax consequences arising under U.S. federal non-income tax laws,
such as gift or estate tax laws, or the laws of any state, local or foreign
jurisdiction. In addition, the discussion does not consider the tax treatment of
partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold stock of the
Company through such entities.
The following discussion is based upon the Code, U.S. Treasury Department
regulations promulgated there under, published rulings of the Internal Revenue
Service (the "IRS") and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are
subject to change or to varying interpretation at any time. Any such changes or
varying interpretations may also be applied retroactively. The following
discussion has no binding effect on the IRS or the courts.
No gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. stockholder upon such
stockholder's deemed exchange of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the
Split. The aggregate tax basis of the New Shares received in the Split should be
the same as such stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares being
exchanged, and the holding period of the New Shares should include the holding
period of such stockholder in the Old Shares.
BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAX LAWS AND BECAUSE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO THE COMPANY OR TO ANY PARTICULAR STOCKHOLDER MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT
DISCUSSED HEREIN, STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO
THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THE SPLIT, INCLUDING
TAX REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF FOREIGN, U.S.
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND OTHER APPLICABLE TAX LAWS AND THE EFFECT OF ANY
PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE TAX LAWS.
VOTE REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all issued and
outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on these corporate
actions has been received in the form of a written consent in lieu of special
meeting.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
We are a Nevada corporation and are governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes
("NRS"). Holders of the Company's Common Stock do not have appraisal or
7
dissenter's rights under the NRS in connection with the Split or the filing of
the Amendment as approved by Board of Directors and the stockholders of the
Company.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive
officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by
security holdings or otherwise, in the Split that is not shared by all other
stockholders of ours.

APPENDIX C
FORM OF
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
A NEVADA FOR PROFIT CORPORATION
(PURSUANT TO NRS 78.385 AND 78.390 - AFTER ISSUANCE OF STOCK)
ALTO Group Holdings, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and
by virtue of the Laws of the State of Nevada (the"COMPANY"), does hereby
certify:
Article I. The Board of Directors of the Company (the " BOARD "), acting by
Unanimous Written Consent in accordance with the NRS of the Laws of the State of

and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be split into eight (8)
fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "
COMMON STOCK ") and to file this Certificate of Amendment:
The first two full paragraphs of Section 3, Capital Stock, of the Articles
of Incorporation of the Corporation are hereby deleted in their entirety and
amended and restated as follows:
"The Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, designated
"Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock," respectively. The total number of
shares that the Company is authorized to issue is 200,000,000 shares. The
number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue is
100,000,000 shares $0.00001 par value, and the number of shares of
Preferred Stock that the Company is authorized to issue is 1,000,000 shares
$0.00001 par value. The Preferred Stock may be divided into and issued in
series. The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to divide
the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of
which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the

the terms and conditions of redemption;
c. The amount payable upon shares in the event of voluntary or
involuntary liquidation;
13
d. Sinking fund or other provisions, if any, for the redemption or
purchase of shares;

and,
g. Subject to the foregoing, such other terms, qualifications,
privileges, limitations, options, restrictions, and special or
relative rights and preferences, if any, of shares or such series as
