This Information Statement is first being mailed or furnished to the stockholders of the Company on or about February 6, 2014.
ABOUT THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT
What is the purpose of this Information Statement?
This Information Statement is being provided pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to notify stockholders of the Company, as of the close of business on January 6, 2014 (the “Record Date”), of the corporate actions expected to be taken pursuant to the written consent of a majority of the total voting power held by stockholders of the Company. A holder of a majority of the total voting power of all classes of the Company’s common and preferred stock, voting together, has approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of common shares authorized to be issued by the Company (the “Action”). In order to eliminate the costs and management time involve in holding a special meeting, and in order to effect the corporate action as soon as possible, the Company decided to proceed with the corporate action by obtaining the written consent of a stockholder holding a majority of the voting power of the Company, in accordance with Florida Law.
Who is entitled to notice?
All holders of shares of Common Stock of record on the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of the Action.
On what corporate matters did the principal stockholders vote?
One shareholder holds a majority (52.6% of the total vote) of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock entitled to vote on the Action. The stockholder has voted for the following:
·
For the approval of an amendment to the articles of incorporation of the Company to approve the number of common shares of the Company authorized to be issued to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 and the number of preferred shares of the Company to be 5 million shares, par value $0.001 (no change).
What vote is required to approve the Action?
In order to amend the articles of incorporation of the Company, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting capital stock is required. On January 6, 2014, 1 stockholder of the Company holding in excess of 52.6 percent of the outstanding vote, voted in favor of the Action. Under the General Corporation Law, as amended, of the State of Florida, and in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company, all activities requiring stockholder approval may be taken by obtaining the written consent and
approval of holders of voting stock of the Company having a majority of the total vote of shares authorized to vote on the matter, in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders. Because one shareholder entitled to cast a vote representing 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which shares are equal to 51% of the total outstanding votes of the Company on the Record Date) and 40,000,000 common shares (which shares are equal to 1.6% of the total outstanding votes of the Company on the Record Date), no action by the minority stockholders in connection with the Action is required.

ACTION
AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
On January 6, 2014, the Company’s board of directors adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of common shares of the Company authorized to be issued to 5,000,000,000 common shares. On January 6, 2014, the Company received a written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders from 1 holder of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 40,000,000 shares of common stock, having a combined total vote of 52.6% of the total shares entitled to vote, approving the Action. A copy of the Articles of Amendment is attached as Appendix A hereto.
Purpose of the Action
Over the course of the last several months, the Board of Directors has discussed the availability of authorized common shares to be issued by the Company in light of the current market price and trading activity of the common shares of the Company on the OTC Markets QB tier and the rights of certain holders of convertible promissory notes to convert at a price pegged to market price. The Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to increase the authorized number of common shares in order to meet the obligations of the Company under the terms of those certain convertible promissory notes. Accordingly, the Board of Directors recommended that the Company increase the number of common shares that the Company is authorized to issue to 5,000,000,000.
There are no pending transactions and no specific uses for the newly authorized shares other than for the anticipated conversions of outstanding convertible promissory notes already issued, into common stock, and to meet certain reserve requirements in the convertible promissory notes to insure that there are sufficient common shares available for future conversions. We do not have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the shares that will be newly available as a result of the amendment for any other reason. We have not entered into any agreements and do not have any understanding or arrangements for any particular business combination.
Effect of Amendment
Under the amendment, the number of authorized shares of our common stock will be increased. This will increase significantly the ability of our Board of Directors to issue authorized and unissued shares of our common stock, without further shareholder action. We do not have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the shares that will be newly available as a result of the amendment, except in connection with any conversions of already issued convertible promissory notes into common stock, according to the terms of those promissory notes.. We have not entered into any agreements and do not have any understanding or arrangements for any particular business combination. The issuance in the future of such additional authorized 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. The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of our common stock to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or bylaws.
Effective Date of the Amendment
The Articles of Amendment of the Company will become effective upon the filing of the certificate of amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation with Secretary of State of the State of Florida. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the foregoing Action may not become effective until a date that is at least 20 days after the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the stockholders of the Company.
Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal
Under Florida law and the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, no stockholder has any right to dissent to the proposed amendment to increase the number of common shares that the Company is authorized to issue and to change the par value, and no stockholder is entitled to appraisal of or payment for their shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Action.
No Meeting of Stockholders Required
The Company is not soliciting any votes with regard to the Action. The principal stockholders that have consented to the Action hold a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock and, accordingly, such principal stockholders have sufficient shares to approve the Action.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS
For the fiscal year ending on August 31, 2013, there were no transactions with related persons required to be disclosed in this Information Statement other than items already disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2013.
PROPOSALS BY SECURITY HOLDERS
No security holder has requested the Company to include any additional proposals in this Information Statement.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR IN OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No officer, director or director nominee of the Company has any substantial interest in the matters to be acted upon, other than his role as an officer, director or director nominee of the Company. No director of the Company has informed the Company that he intends to oppose the proposed actions to be taken by the Company as set forth in this Information Statement.
