This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to the holders of the Common Stock (the “Shareholders”), par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of China Pharma Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the "Company"), to notify such Stockholders of the following:
On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Restated Certificate as set forth in Appendix A.
On or about March 29,2010 the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from holders of 23,093,966 shares representing approximately53.342% of the 43,293,642 total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (the "Majority Stockholders"): 1) to reelect the following three individuals to continue to serve for another term as independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company: G. Michael Bennett, Yingwen Zhang and Baowen Dong; and 2) to increase the number of our authorized shares from 60,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares including: (i) 95% (95,000,000 shares) authorized Common Stock; and (ii) 5% (5,000,000 shares) authorized Preferred Stock.
The Preferred Stock may be issued in series, with such designations, preferences, stated values, rights, qualifications or limitations as determined solely by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors is hereby vested with authority to fix such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights or qualifications, limitations, or restrictions for each series, including, but not by way of limitation, the power to fix the redemption and liquidation preferences, the rate of dividends payable and the time for and the priority of payment thereof and to determine whether such dividends shall be cumulative or not and to provide for and fix the terms of conversion of such Preferred Stock or any series thereof into Common Stock of the Corporation and fix the voting power, if any, of shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof.
On March 29, 2010, pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the Board of Directors of the Company approved the above-mentioned actions, subject to Stockholder approval. According to DGCL, a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock entitled to vote on the matter is required in order to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The Majority Stockholders approved the action by written consent in lieu of a meeting on March 29, 2010, in accordance with the DGCL. Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the action.
In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, in order to ratify the appointments as early as possible, and in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to utilize the written consent of the Majority Stockholders of the Company.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.
The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. The Company will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 29, 2010, as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of Stockholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement.
Each share of our Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders. However, because the stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock as of the Record Date have voted in favor of the foregoing actions by resolution; and having sufficient voting power to approve such proposals through their ownership of the capital stock, no other consents will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.
You are being provided with this Information Statement pursuant to Section 14C of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C thereunder, and, in accordance therewith, the foregoing action will not become ratified until at least 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement.
This Information Statement is being mailed on or about April 20, 2010 to all Stockholders of record as of the Record Date.
OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES
As of the date of the consent by the Majority Stockholders, March 29, 2010, the Company had 43,293,642 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Each share of outstanding Common Stock is entitled to one vote on matters submitted for Stockholder approval.
March 29, 2010, the holders of 23,093,966 shares representing approximately 53.342% of the 43,293,642 shares of Common Stock then outstanding executed and delivered to the Company a written consent approving the actions set forth herein. Since the actions have been approved by the Majority Stockholders, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.
The DGCL 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.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MAJORITY BENEFICIAL OWNERS
The following table sets forth the number and percentage of shares of our Common Stock owned as of March 29, 2010 by our majority beneficial owners. Unless otherwise indicated, each of the Stockholders has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned.
The number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on March 29, 2010 was 43,293,642 shares. The calculation of percentage ownership for each listed beneficial owner is based upon the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on March 29, 2010, plus shares of Common Stock subject to options/warrants held by such person on March 29, 2010 and exercisable within 60 days thereafter.

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
On or about March 29, 2010 the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from holders of 23,093,966 shares representing approximately 53.342% of the 43,293,642 total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (the "Majority Stockholders") to increase the number of our authorized Common Stock from 60,000,000 to 95,000,000 shares .
By increasing our authorized shares of Common Stock, we will have additional shares of stock available for future actions, including acquisitions, capital raising transactions and employee stock incentive plans. Increasing our number of authorized shares of Common Stock will also allow our Board flexibility to act promptly in issuing stock to meet our future business needs, which may include:
·Acquisitions and mergers,
·Financing transactions to improve our financial and business position,
·Stock splits or stock dividends,
·Recruiting employees and executives,
·Employee benefit plans, and
·Other proper business purposes.
If additional shares are readily available, our Board of Directors will be able to act quickly to issue additional shares without spending the time and incurring the expense of soliciting proxies and holding additional stockholders’ meetings. The Board, however, may issue additional shares of Common Stock without action on the part of the stockholders only if the action is permissible under Delaware law, and only if the rules of the exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed permit those issuances.
The additional authorized shares of Common Stock could also be used in the future to discourage other persons from attempting to gain control of China Pharma by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding or increasing the voting power of persons who would support the Board of Directors in opposing a takeover bid or a solicitation in opposition to management. These shares could also be used by the Board of Directors in a public or a private sale, merger or similar transaction by increasing the number of outstanding shares and thereby diluting the equity interest and voting power of a party attempting to obtain control of China Pharma. We are not currently aware of any effort to obtain control of China Pharma and have no plans to use the new shares for purposes of discouraging any such effort. We have no current plans to issue any of the additional shares; however, increasing the number of authorized shares would permit us to meet future business and financial needs potentially involving the issuances of new shares, should we determine that such action is advisable in the future. Issuing any additional shares of our Common Stock at a price less than the current market price for our Common Stock would dilute our current stockholders’ interests.
INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK
On or about March 29, 2010 the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from holders of 23,093,966 shares representing approximately 53.342% of the 43,293,642 total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (the "Majority Stockholders") to increasing the number of our authorized Preferred Stock to 5,000,000 shares.
The Preferred Stock may be issued in series, with such designations, preferences, stated values, rights, qualifications or limitations as determined solely by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors is hereby vested with authority to fix such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights or qualifications, limitations, or restrictions for each series, including, but not by way of limitation, the power to fix the redemption and liquidation preferences, the rate of dividends payable and the time for and the priority of payment thereof and to determine whether such dividends shall be cumulative or not and to provide for and fix the terms of conversion of such Preferred Stock or any series thereof into Common Stock of the Corporation and fix the voting power, if any, of shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof.
AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The Board of Directors has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect the increase in authorized shares.
