PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
May 28, 2010
GENERAL INFORMATION
General
This proxy statement contains information about the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Roomlinx, Inc. (the “Annual Meeting”), including any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at Roomlinx, Inc., 2150 W. 6th Ave., Broomfield, CO 80020, on May 28, 2010, at 10:00am local time.
In this proxy statement, we refer to Roomlinx, Inc. as “Roomlinx,” “us” or the “Company.”
We are first sending by mail these proxy materials (consisting of this proxy statement, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and a form of proxy) to each stockholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and making them available over the internet at www.shareholdermaterial.com/roomlinx ;on or about May __, 2010.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 is also available through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR system at http://www.sec.gov. To request a printed copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we will provide to you without charge, write to Roomlinx, Inc., 2150 W. 6th Ave., Unit H, Broomfield, CO 8002, Attention: CEO. No material on our website is part of this proxy statement.
Your proxy is being solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of Roomlinx to be voted at the Annual Meeting, and at any and all adjournments thereof. The Annual Meeting is being held for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting to Stockholders.
Costs of Solicitation
Our Board is soliciting your proxy for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at any adjournment of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We will bear the costs of the proxy solicitation, including expenses in connection with the preparation of this Proxy Statement. In addition to solicitation by mail, our officers, directors and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, by facsimile and by e-mail.
Stockholders Entitled to Vote
Pursuant to the By-Laws of the Company, the Board of Directors has fixed the time and date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting as the close of business on May 5, 2010. Accordingly, only stockholders of record at the close of business on such date will be entitled to vote at the meeting, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Company thereafter.
At the close of business on May 5, 2010, (i) the Company had outstanding 387,190,259 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), each of which entitled the holder to one vote and which are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. There were no issued shares held by the Company in its treasury.
Required Vote, Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
The presence of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum. The election of directors nominated will require the vote, in person or by proxy, of a plurality of all shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Proposal 2 approving the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation effecting a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock and simultaneously decreasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 200,000,000 will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. All other matters will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast.
Proxies marked as abstaining (including proxies containing “broker non-votes”) on any matter to be acted upon by stockholders will be treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast on such matters. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker holds shares of Common Stock for a beneficial owner and does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If a quorum is present, abstentions will have no effect on the election of directors or on any of the other proposals to be voted upon, except for Proposal 2 where an abstention will have the same effect as a vote “against” such proposal.
If your shares are held for you in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or nominee how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting. If do not vote your shares that are held in “street name”, your brokerage firm, under certain circumstances, may vote your shares for you if you do not return your proxy. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares on some routine matters. If you do not give a proxy to your brokerage firm to vote your shares, your brokerage firm may either vote your shares on routine matters, or leave your shares unvoted. Proposal 3, to ratify the appointment of Stark Winter Schenkein & Co LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, is considered a routine matter. Proposal 1, to elect directors, and Proposal 2, to approve a reverse stock split, are considered non-routine matters. Your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares with respect to Proposal 1 or Proposal 2 unless they receive your voting instructions. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to your brokerage firm by giving your proxy. This ensures your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting according to your instructions. You should receive directions from your brokerage firm about how to submit your proxy to them at the time you receive this proxy statement.
A proxy may be revoked by the stockholder at any time prior to its being voted. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivery to the Company, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, of a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.
If a proxy is properly signed and is not revoked by the stockholder, the shares it represents will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder. If the proxy is signed and returned without specifying choices, the shares will be voted in favor of the election as director of the nominees listed on the following pages, in favor of Proposals 2 and 3, and as recommended by the Board of Directors with regard to all other matters, or if no such recommendation is given, in the proxy holder’s own discretion. Votes are tabulated at the Annual Meeting by inspectors of election.
Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal
There is no proposal to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting for which Nevada law, our articles of incorporation or bylaws provide a right of a stockholder to dissent and obtain appraisal of or payment for such stockholder’s shares. Therefore, our stockholders do not have dissenters’ rights with respect to the proposals to be voted upon by the stockholders as described in this proxy statement.
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to Be Acted Upon
Michael S. Wasik, Chairman of the Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer, owns 25,233,566 shares of Common Stock and his vote of such shares will count with respect to each Proposal.
Christopher T. Blisard, a current member of our Board of Directors, owns 2,292,084 shares of Common Stock and his vote will count with respect to each Proposal.
Judson Just, a member of our Board of Directors, owns 1,699,000 shares of our Common Stock and his vote will count with respect to each Proposal. Mr. Just is also the brother and brother-in-law of certain investors in the Company. Those investors jointly own 92,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and certain trusts of which those investors are trustees own, in the aggregate, 8,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. All such shares will count respect to each Proposal.
Lewis Opportunity Fund, LP and LAM Opportunity Fund, LTD own 67,515,233 shares and 27,551,831 shares of our Common Stock, respectively.

In determining the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned by each person, shares that may be acquired by such person by conversion of convertible debt convertible and under options or warrants exercisable within 60 days of March 5, 2010 are deemed beneficially owned by such person and are deemed outstanding for purposes of determining the tota l number of outstanding shares for such person and are not deemed outstanding for such purpose for all other stockholders. The percentage ownership is based upon 387,190,259 shares of Common Stock and 720,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of March 5, 2010. Shares of Class A Preferred Stock are non-voting and are not convertible into shares of Common Stock.

Related Party Transactions
On June 5, 2009, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit, Security and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Cenfin LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cenfin”). Cenfin is an affiliate of Jennifer Just and Matthew Hulsizer, joint owners of in excess of 20% of our Common Stock. Jennifer Just is the sister of Judson Just, a Director of the Company. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Cenfin agreed to make revolving loans to Roomlinx from time to time in a maximum outstanding amount of $5,000,000 and pursuant to which, upon the making of each such Revolving Loan, Roomlinx agreed to issue to Cenfin a Revolving Credit Note evidencing such Revolving Loan and a Warrant to purchase a number of shares of Roomlinx Common Stock equal to 50% of the principal amount funded in respect of such Revolving Loan divided by $.02 per share. Each Revolving Credit Note bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum and matures on the fifth anniversary of its issuance. Each Warrant is exercisable for a three year period from its issuance at an initial exercise price of $.02 per share. On June 14, 2009, 8,500,000 warrants were granted to Cenfin pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was approved by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of directors, excluding Judson Just.
As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in default under the Credit Agreement as a result of the Company’s failure to obtain duly executed account control agreements with respect to its primary depositary and disbursement accounts as required by the Credit Agreement. On November 10, 2009, Cenfin waived such default and the Company and Cenfin amended the Credit Agreement to delete that requirement from the Credit Agreement on a going-forward basis. At December 31, 2009, $464,000 of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
On December 17, 2009, 3,100,000 warrants were granted pursuant to Credit Agreement. Such warrants were issued at an exercise price of $0.02 per share, vested immediately and expire three years from the date of issuance.
On March 10, 2010, the Company and Cenfin executed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Revolving Credit Commitment under the Credit Agreement was increased from $5,000,000 to $25,000,000 and the permitted Use of Proceeds was expanded to include certain capital expenditures. The remaining terms of the Credit Agreement were not amended. The Amendment was approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of directors, excluding Judson Just. At April 12, 2010, $464,000 of borrowings were outstanding under the amended Credit Agreement.
On July 31, 2008, the Company sold and issued an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Stock”) at a purchase price of $2,500 per share (or an aggregate of $2,500,000) to Matthew Hulsizer, Jennifer Just and certain affiliated trusts (the “Series C Investors”). Jennifer Just is the sister of Judson Just, a Director of the Company since July 31, 2008. The Series C Stock accrued dividends at an annual rate of 6% per year, payable quarterly, either in cash or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Common Stock.

On March 10, 2009, upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 245,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 and pursuant to the terms of the Series C Stock Purchase Agreement, (i) all 1,000 shares of Series C Stock were converted into an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) the Series C-1 Warrants were no longer exercisable for Series C Stock but instead became exercisable for an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $.04 per share and (iii) the Series C-2 Warrants were no longer exercisable for Series C Stock but instead became exercisable for an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $.06 per share.
On March 31, 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors approved and issued 6,102,151 shares of common stock with a fair value of $91,532 for the payment of previously accrued dividends on Series C Preferred Stock.
On June 11, 2007 and June 13, 2007, the Company sold an aggregate of $2,350,000 principal amount of Convertible Debentures due May 2012 (the “Convertible Debentures”) to a number of investors pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). A majority of the principal amount of Convertible Debentures were sold to Lewis Opportunity Fund, LP and LAM Opportunity Fund LTD, entities for which Lewis Asset Management Corp. is the investment manager and of which W. Austin Lewis IV, a nominee for Director, is the portfolio manager and general partner.
The Convertible Debentures bore interest at an annual rate of 6%, payable quarterly, either in cash or, at the Company’s election, in shares of Common Stock at two and one-half cents ($.025) per share or a 10% discounted stock price from the average market price for the 20 business days preceding the interest payment date, whichever is greater. All interest to date was paid in shares of Common Stock.
The Convertible Debentures were initially convertible into Series B Preferred Stock. On March 10, 2009, upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 245,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 and pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Debentures became convertible into shares of Common Stock, and not Series B Preferred Stock, at a conversion price of $0.02 per share.
On May 14 2009, $100,000 of the Convertible Debentures were converted into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share, the conversion price specified in the Convertible Debentures.
On July 9, 2009, $100,000 of the Convertible Debentures were converted into 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share, the conversion price specified in the Convertible Debentures.

On September 9, 2009, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) with Lewis Opportunity Fund, LP, the holder of a majority of the then outstanding principal amount of Convertible Debentures. Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, all then outstanding Convertible Debentures (in an aggregate principal amount of $1,869,800) were converted into an aggregate of 93,490,000 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, the Company paid to the converting Debenture holders an aggregate of $112,188, an amount equal to interest that would have accrued on the converted principal amount of Convertible Debentures over a one (1) year period if the Convertible Debentures would not have been converted.
There have been no transactions, or series of similar transactions, during 2009, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded or is expected to exceed $120,000 and in which any director of our company, any executive officer of our company, any stockholder owning of record or beneficially 5% or more of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest, except as otherwise disclosed above (a “Related Person Transaction”).
The Company’s policy with regards to Related Person Transactions requires that where a transaction has been identified as a Related Person Transaction, the noninterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company must approve or ratify it. Management must present to such noninterested members of the Board of Directors a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to the Company of the transaction and whether any alternative transactions were available. To identify Related Person Transactions, the Company relies on information supplied by its executive officers and Directors. In considering Related Person Transactions, the noninterested members of the Board of Directors take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including , but not limited to (a) the risks, costs and benefits to the Company, (b) the impact on a Director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a Director or an entity with which a Director is affiliated, (c) the terms of the transaction, (d) the availability of other sources for comparable services or products and (e) the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally. In the event a Director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the Director must recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and approval. In determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a Related Person Transaction, the noninterested members of the Board of Directors look at, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as determined by them in the good faith exercise of their discretion.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, (i) Mr. Michael S. Wasik, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, filed a Form 4 reporting one transaction on a non-timely basis, (ii) Mr. Judson Just, a Director of the Company, filed ten Forms 4 reporting a total of 35 open market purchases on a non-timely basis and (iii) Lewis Opportunity Fund, L.P., the owner of more than 10% of our Common Stock, did not timely file a Form 3. Other than as disclosed in the pre vious sentence, to the Company’s knowledge, no director, officer or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of any class of registered equity securities of the Company failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Information Regarding the Board of Directors and Its Committees
ROLE OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board of Directors monitors and oversees overall corporate performance, our short-term and long-term strategic and business planning, the integrity of our financial controls, risk management, and legal compliance procedures. It elects senior management and oversees succession planning and senior management’s performance and compensation. The Board also oversees and reviews with management its business plan, financing plans, budget, and other key financial and business objectives.
BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT
The Company does not currently separate the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board positions. The Board of Directors does not currently have a lead independent director. The Board of Directors believes that this structure is appropriate for the current characteristics and circumstances of the Company due to the Company’s current size and the resulting efficiency of a Board of Directors that is also limited in size and in which the Chief Executive Officer also serves as the Chairman of the Board.
Independent members of the Board keep informed about our business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer, by reviewing materials provided to them by the Company on a regular basis and in preparation for Board and committee meetings, and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees. These practices afford the Board members the opportunity to oversee risk management, raise questions and engage in discussions with management regarding areas of potential risk and administer the Board’s oversight function.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company has an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the current members of which are Judson Just and Christopher Blisard. The Audit Committee does not have a charter. The Board of Directors has delegated to the Audit Committee the following principal duties: (i) reviewing with the independent outside auditors the plans and results of the audit engagement; (ii) reviewing the adequacy of the internal accounting controls and procedures; (iii) monitoring and evaluating the financial statements and financial reporting process; (iv) reviewing the independence of the auditors; and (v) reviewing the auditors’ fees. As contemplated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission there under, the Audit Committee has assumed direct responsibility for th e appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent auditors in accordance with the timetable established with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
The Board of Directors has determined that it has an “audit committee financial expert” serving on the Audit Committee, Judson Just. Mr. Just is “independent” as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.
Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of the consolidated financial statements. Stark Winter Schenkein & Co LLP, our independent auditor, is responsible for expressing an opinion on the fairness of the financial statement presentation. The Audit Committee serves in an oversight role over the financial reporting process. As part of its obligations over the financial reporting process, and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Audit Committee has:
| ● | Reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements with management; |
| | |
| ● | Discussed with Stark Winter Schenkein & Co LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as has been or may be modified, superseded or supplemented; |
| | |
| ● | Received the written disclosures and the letter from Stark Winter Schenkein & Co regarding auditor independence required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with Stark Winter Schenkein & Co LLP the accounting firm’s independence; |
| | |
| ● | Based on the review and discussions referred to above, recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
| Audit Committee |
| Mr. Judson Just |
| Mr. Christopher T. Blisard |
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors does not yet have a Compensation Committee. Due to the size of the Company and the resulting efficiency of a Board of Directors that is also limited in size, the Board of Directors has determined that it is not necessary or appropriate at this time to establish a separate Compensation Committee. In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200, a majority of “independent” directors is required to recommend and approve the compensation of executive officers.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
The Board of Directors does not have a standing Nominating Committee. Due to the size of the Company and the resulting efficiency of a Board of Directors that is also limited in size, the Board of Directors has determined that it is not necessary or appropriate at this time to establish a separate Nominating Committee. Potential candidates are discussed by the entire Board of Directors, and director nominees are selected by Board of Director resolution subject to the recommendation of a majority of the independent directors. Two of the nominees recommended for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Michael S. Wasik and Mr. Judson Just, are Directors standing for re-election. The other nominee, Mr. W. Austin Lewis IV, is not presently a Director. Although the Board of Directors has not establis hed any minimum qualifications for director candidates, when considering potential Director candidates, the Board considers the candidate’s character, judgment, diversity, skills, including financial literacy, and experience in the context of the needs of the Company and the Board of Directors. In 2009, the Company did not pay any fees to any third party to assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.
The Board of Directors will consider director candidates recommended by the Company’s stockholders in a similar manner as those recommended by members of management or other directors, provided the stockholder submitting such nomination has provided such recommendation on a timely basis as described in “Stockholders’ Proposals” below.
BOARD DIVERSITY
The Board of Directors has not established a formal policy with respect to diversity.
DIRECTORS’ ATTENDANCE AT MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Due to the Company’s limited operations and financing and the limited size of the Board, the Board of Directors did not meet in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and took all actions by unanimous written consent.

Members of the Board of Directors will not be required to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT REVERSE COMMON STOCK SPLIT AND
SIMULTANEOUSLY DECREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted resolutions approving, subject to stockholder approval, the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Reverse Split Amendment”) in order to effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split with respect to the shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Reverse Split”) and an additional simultaneous decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,500,000,000 to 200,000,000.
If so approved by the stockholders, the Reverse Split Amendment will be implemented by filing an Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the form of which is included as Annex A to this Proxy Statement, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada as soon as practicable after the date of the granting of approval by the stockholders under this Proposal.
Reason for the Proposal and Effects of the Reverse Split
In the opinion of our Board of Directors, the Reverse Split Amendment is advisable and in the best interests of our stockholders.
The purpose of the proposed Reverse Split is to increase the market price of our Common Stock as reflected in the markets in which our Common Stock is traded or quoted. The board of directors believes that an increase in the market price of our Common Stock will facilitate trading and liquidity in the Common Stock and enhance the prestige of our Common Stock in the marketplace.
If approved by the stockholders, the Board of Directors will cause the filing of the Reverse Split Amendment as soon as practicable after the granting of approval by the stockholders under this Proposal which will (i) effect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split with respect to the shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to which every one hundred shares of our outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one share of our Common Stock and (ii) simultaneously decrease the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance to 200,000,000. Thus, holders of the Company’s Common Stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment will automatically be considered to own one percent (1%) of the number of shares owned prior to the effectiveness and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock o utstanding prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment will initially be reduced by 99%. However, giving effect to the simultaneous decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance from 1,500,000,000 to 200,000,000, the Reverse Split Amendment will also effect an 86.7% decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance.
As of the effective date of the proposed Reverse Split, each holder of our Common Stock will own a reduced number of shares of our Common Stock. Every one hundred shares of our Common Stock that a stockholder owns will be combined and converted into a single share of Common Stock. We estimate that, following the Reverse Split, we will have approximately the same number of stockholders as prior thereto. Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares as discussed below, the completion of the Reverse Split alone would not affect any stockholder’s proportionate interest in the Common Stock of the Company. The Reverse Split may increase the number of stockholders of the Company who own ‘‘odd lots’’ of less than 100 shares of our Common Stock.& #160; Brokerage commission and other costs of transactions in odd lots are sometimes higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of Common Stock.
After giving effect to the Reverse Split Amendment, the Company would have 194,191,722 shares of Common Stock authorized that are not issued or outstanding or reserved for issuance. The table below sets forth (i) the approximate number of shares of Common Stock that would remain outstanding immediately following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment, (ii) the approximate number of shares of Common Stock that would remain authorized and reserved for issuance following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment, and (iii) the approximate number of shares of Common Stock that would remain authorized but unissued and not reserved for issuance upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment (including giving effect to the simultaneous decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued to 200,000,000). The information in the following table is based on (i) the 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split Amendment and 387,190,259 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock outstanding as of May 5, 2010, (ii) warrants outstanding as of May 5, 2010 exercisable into 65,837,500 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock, (iii) options outstanding as of May 5, 2010 exercisable into 30,550,000 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock and (iv) an additional 97,250,000 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance as Awards under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Common Stock Issued and Outstanding after the Reverse Split | Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance after the Reverse Split | Common Stock authorized but unissued and not reserved for issuance after the Reverse Split and giving effect to the simultaneous decrease in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Reverse Split Amendment |
| | |
3,871,903 | 1,936,375 | 194,191,722 |
Treatment of Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Any fractional share will be rounded up to the next whole share.
Exchange of Share Certificates
If the Reverse Split Amendment is approved at the Annual Meeting, the Reverse Split will occur at the effective time set forth in the Reverse Split Amendment as filed by the Company and without any further action on your part and without regard to the date on which you physically surrender your stock certificates for new certificates.
As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Reverse Split, our transfer agent will mail each record holder of Common Stock a transmittal form to be used in forwarding such holder’s stock certificates for surrender and exchange for certificates evidencing the number of shares of common stock such stockholder is entitled to receive as a consequence of the Reverse Split. The transmittal forms will be accompanied by instructions specifying other details of the exchange. Upon receipt of such transmittal form, you should surrender the certificates evidencing shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Split in accordance with applicable instructions. Upon surrender, you will receive new certificates evidencing the whole number of shares of Common Stock that you hold a s a result of the Reverse Split. You will not be required to pay any transfer fee or other fee in connection with the exchange of certificates. Stockholders should not submit their stock certificates for exchange until they receive a transmittal form.
As of the effective date of the Reverse Split, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to the effective date will be deemed canceled and, for all corporate purposes, will be deemed only to evidence the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock evidenced by such certificate have been converted as a result of the Reverse Split.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Warrants and Options
Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding warrants and options will be reduced in the same ratio as the reduction in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, rounded to the nearest whole share (with no cash payment for a partial share). The per share exercise price of those warrants and options also will be increased in direct proportion to the Reverse Split ratio, so that the aggregate dollar amount payable for the purchase of the shares subject to the warrants and options will remain unchanged (subject to the rounding of shares).
Potential Issuance of Additional Shares
As noted above, the proposed Reverse Split will increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company available for issuance. However, there are no current plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, including in connection with the acquisition of any business or engagement in any investment opportunity.
Potential Anti-Takeover Effect; Possible Dilution
The increase in the number of unissued authorized shares available to be issued as a result of the proposed Reverse Split could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect. For example, shares could be issued that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company. The Reverse Split Proposal is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or obtain control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to our Board of Directors and stockholders.
The holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for additional securities that may be issued by the Company, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any additional shares from time to time issued by the Company. Accordingly, if our Board of Directors elects to issue additional shares of common stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and equity ownership of current stockholders.
No Appraisal Rights
Under Nevada law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Split, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.
Recommendation of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the Reverse Split Amendment effecting a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock and simultaneous decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued to 200,000,000.
