ACTION: APPROVAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECTUATE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
On October 4, 2017, our Board approved the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which authorizes an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 3,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 4,250,000,000 shares of common stock, and the Company with the written unanimous consent of the Majority Shareholder and Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors filed with the State of Delaware an Amended Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of Common Stock by 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. No further action of our stockholders is required to approve the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment. You are hereby being provided with notice of the approval of such amendment by less than unanimous written consent of our stockholders. The filed Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit A hereto.
Promptly after the 20th day after the date this Information Statement has been sent to stockholders, we intend to take all other required actions to complete the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment consistent with the foregoing.
We are currently authorized by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue 4,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as of the Record Date.
The additional shares of Common Stock authorized under the Certificate of Amendment have rights identical to the currently outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a holder of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to a vote of our stockholders except that (i) a holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share and shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any amendment, alteration, change or repeal of any provision of our Certificate of Incorporation that adversely affects the powers, preferences or special rights of the Common Stock in a manner different from the powers, preferences or special rights of the Common Stock and (ii) a holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote per share, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, on certain non-ordinary course transactions to the extent that such transaction is submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by our Board out of funds legally available therefore.
Considerations Relating to the Increase in Common Stock Authorized Shares
The purpose and effect of the latest Certificate of Amendment is to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company for the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock so as to accommodate any conversion of shares of Common Stock at any time and from time to time, to issue the Company Common Stock in exchange for the Company’s senior debt and for Company expansion purposes including capital equity and debt funding. Specifically, increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock provides the Company with the appropriate flexibility to pursue finance and corporate opportunities involving our Common Stock, which may include private or public offerings of our equity securities, or to issue stock dividends. There are no specific agreements in principle related directly to the increase of authorized shares.
The disadvantages include dilution to existing Shareholders, including a decrease in our net income per share in future periods. This could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.
The shares of Common Stock will be available for issuance by the Board for proper corporate purposes as described herein from time to time. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future would have the effect of diluting earnings per share, voting power and common shareholdings of stockholders and could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table, together with the accompanying footnotes, sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock of the Company as of April 4, 2017, for (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) each of the Company’s executive officers, (iii) each of the Company’s directors and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group. Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is based on 1,423,359,797 shares of our Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock, authorized but not issued, and 5,000,000 of our Preferred Stock issued as of the Record Date.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes voting and investment power with respect to the securities. Subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them. In addition, shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options, warrants and other convertible securities beneficially owned that are exercisable within sixty days, are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding those securities, and the group as a whole, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
