AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO CHANGE OUR NAME TO MILLENNIUM PRIME, INC.
Introduction
On June 21, 2009, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution approving an amendment to Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from “Genio Group, Inc.” to “Millennium Prime, Inc.” (the “Name Change”). Our Board of Directors further directed that this Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation be submitted for consideration by our stockholders. On June 21, 2009, the holders of 77% of our voting stock approved the Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to “Millennium Prime, Inc.” A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.
Reason for the Name Change
Our Board of Directors believes that the name change is in our best interest in order to better reflect the business operations of our combined enterprise following the consummation of our acquisition of Millennium Prime pursuant to the Agreement.
Effective Date of the Name Change
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this Information Statement is sent to our stockholders, a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation effectuating the Name Change with the Secretary of State of Delaware. This Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Delaware. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or about July 23, 2009. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A. The text of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Delaware Secretary of State.
Effect of the Name Change
Our ticker symbol, which is currently “GNOI” and our CUSIP number will both change as a result of our Name Change. Stockholders may, but need not, exchange their certificates to reflect the change in corporate name. Your existing certificate(s) will continue to represent shares of our Common Stock as if our name had not changed. Our transfer agent will issue stock certificate(s) with our new name as stock certificate(s) are sent in upon transfers of shares by our existing stockholders. Until you sell or otherwise transfer your shares of Common Stock, there is no need to send us or our transfer agent your existing stock certificate(s). However, if you wish to turn in your certificate(s) for new certificate(s) with our new name, please contact our transfer agent, Interwest Transfer-, at (801) 272-9294.
AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT AN INCREASE IN THE TOTAL AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK
Introduction
On June 21, 2009, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution approving an amendment to Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock from Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, to Two Hundred Fifty Million (250,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
The effect of the capital increase will be to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue from Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001, to Two Hundred Fifty Million (250,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
The additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the capital increase, if and when issued, will have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock presently issued and outstanding. The creation of additional shares of authorized Common Stock will not alter the current number of post-reverse split shares. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged.
As of June 29, 2009, a total of 99,981,787 shares of the Company's authorized 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
Reason for the Authorized Capital Increase
The Company believes that the Common Stock Increase will provide it with the flexibility of having an adequate number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for future financing requirements and other corporate purposes, such as stock dividends or further splits, mergers, or existing and further incentive programs, without the expense or delay attendant in seeking stockholder approval at any special meeting or annual meeting. The Amendment provides additional authorized shares of Common Stock that could be used from time to time, without further action or authorization by the stockholders (except as may be required by law or by any stock exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Company's securities may then be listed).
Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of the Company. Accordingly, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce the current stockholders' percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock and, depending upon the circumstances, may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share, voting power and other interests of the existing stockholders.
The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock and the subsequent issuance of such shares could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Shares of unauthorized and unissued Common Stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that would make a subsequent change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely.
AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO
AUTHORIZE 10,000,000 SHARES OF BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK AND DESIGNATE 1,000,000 SHARES OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
Introduction
On June 21, 2009, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize, among other things, 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock (of which 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock shall be designated as set forth herein pursuant to the Agreement), the voting powers, designations, preferences and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of which may be established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company without approval of the holders of our Common Stock and which may be issued in one or more series (the “Blank Check Preferred Stock”). Our Board of Directors further directed that this Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation be submitted for consideration by our stockholders. On June 21, 2009, the holders of 72% of our voting stock approved the Amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the Blank Check Preferred Stock. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.
In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, on June 21, 2009, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution to authorize the filing of a Certificate of Designation of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock. A copy of the Certificate of Designation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix B. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation the Series A Preferred share shall be: (i) entitled to the number of votes equal to the result of: (i) the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 2.33334; divided by (ii) the total number of Series A Preferred shares issued and outstanding at the time of such vote, at each meeting of our shareholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters presented to our shareholders; and (ii) convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder on a one for one basis. Pursuant to the Agreement, at the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the shareholders of Millennium Prime will be issued all of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company and thus effective control of any shareholder vote of the Company.
Effective Date of the Creation of the Blank Check Preferred Stock and Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this Information Statement is sent to our stockholders, a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation creating the Blank Check Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware. This Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Delaware. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or about July 26, 2009. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A. The text of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Delaware Secretary of State.
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this Information Statement is sent to our stockholders, a Certificate of Designation designating the Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of Delaware. This Certificate of Designation will become effective at the close of business on the date the Certificate of Designation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Delaware. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or about July 26, 2009. A copy of the Certificate of Designation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix B. The text of the Certificate of Designation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Delaware Secretary of State.
Reasons for and Effects of Creating Blank Check Preferred Stock and Designation of Series A Preferred Stock
Our Board of Directors believes that the availability of authorized but unissued shares of Blank Check Preferred Stock will provide us with the flexibility to issue such securities pursuant to the Agreement for a variety of corporate purposes, such as to make acquisitions through the use of stock, to raise equity capital and to reserve additional shares for issuance under stock plans. Our Board believes that the creation of Blank Check Preferred Stock would facilitate our ability to accomplish a variety of business and financial objectives in the future without the necessity of delaying such activities for further shareholder approval, except as may be required in particular cases by our Certificate of Incorporation, applicable law or the rules of any stock market or exchange.
The Amendment would provide us with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security, aside from our Common Stock, that would be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by our Board of Directors for any proper corporate purpose. Such purposes include our acquisition of Millennium Prime pursuant to the Agreement, and in the future are anticipated to include, without limitation, exchanging preferred stock for Common Stock, the issuance for cash as a means of obtaining capital, or issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid for acquisitions of other businesses or assets.
As discussed above, we also intend to designate and issue approximately one million (1,000,000) shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the shareholders of Millennium Prime. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation the Series A Preferred share shall be: (i) entitled to the number of votes equal to the result of: (a) the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 2.33334; divided by (b) the total number of Series A Preferred shares issued and outstanding at the time of such vote, at each meeting of our shareholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters presented to our shareholders; and (ii) convertible into common stock of the Company at the option of the holder on a one for one basis. . Thus, pursuant to the Agreement, at the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the shareholders of Millennium Prime will be issued all of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company and thus effective control of any shareholder vote of the Company. Following the issuance of these shares, we will have 9,000,000 shares of Blank Check Preferred Stock authorized but unissued, and available for future use.
AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO
PROVIDE FOR THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
General
On June 21, 2009, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize, among other things, to effect a 1 for 2000 Reverse Split of the outstanding Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each 2000 of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock on the date of the Reverse Split (the "Old Shares") will be automatically converted into 1 share of our Common Stock (the "New Shares"). The Reverse Split will reduce the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. As of June 29, 2009, there were 99,981,787 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the Reverse Split there will be approximately 49,991 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (assuming that there is no change in the number of issued and outstanding shares from June 29, 2009.
By written consent dated June 21, 2009, the holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to cast a majority of the votes that are entitled to be voted regarding the Amendments and thus approved the proposed Reverse Split contemplated thereby.
Reasons for Reverse Stock Split
The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock we have outstanding. Theoretically, decreasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the shares or the type of investor who would be interested in acquiring them. In practice, however, many investors and market makers consider low-priced stocks as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment and trading in such stocks. The presence of these negative perceptions may adversely affect not only the pricing of our common stock but also its trading liquidity. In addition, these perceptions may affect our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of stock or the cost of debt we may incur.
The Reverse Split will also make available a substantial number of additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. Under our Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to be amended, we will be authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock. We have 99,981,787 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 29, 2009. Should we do not effectuate the Reverse Split, we can nevertheless have 100,008,213 shares of Common Stock for future share issuance.
The following table lists the numbers of shares of Common Stock prior to and after the Reverse Split (including the effect of the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.
Shares of Common Stock | | Prior to the Reverse Split And Capital Increase As of June 29, 2009 | | | Immediately After the Reverse Split and Capital Increase | |
Total Authorized Shares of Common Stock | | | 200,000,000 | | | 250,000,000 | |
Total Issued and Outstanding Shares of Common Stock | | | 99,981,787 | | | | 49,991 | * |
Proportion of Unissued Authorized Shares of Common Stock (Shares Available for Future Issuance) | | | 100,008,213 | | | | 249,950,009 | * |
* Approximate number, before giving effect to the round up and special treatment in preserving round lot shareholders, if any.
Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances 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 our company with another company), we are not proposing the Reverse Split in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate any of our shares or obtain control of our company. Our Board does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other proposals that could be construed to affect the ability of anyone to take over or change the control of our company.
The Board is hopeful that the Reverse Split will cause the trading price of our Common Stock, when the Common Stock begins trading, to be higher than it would have been absent the Reverse Split. The Board is hopeful that the higher share price which could result, at least initially, from the Reverse Split may help generate interest in us among investors and thereby assist us in raising capital to fund our operations. However, the effect of the Reverse Split upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the post - Reverse Split market price of our Common Stock will be any higher had the Reverse Split not occurred.
Except as set forth above with respect to the Agreement, the Company has no specific plans, arrangements or understandings, either written or oral, to issue any of shares of Common Stock.
Effect of Reverse Stock Split
The effect of the Reverse Split upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the post - Reverse Split market price of our Common Stock will be any higher had the Reverse Split not occurred. The market price of our Common Stock may also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. The Reverse Split will effect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in us or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that the Reverse Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, we will issue any stockholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split one share of our Common Stock. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, we will issue any stockholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split one share of our Common Stock.
The Reverse Split will have the following effects upon the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding and the number of authorized and unissued shares of our Common Stock:
| · | The number of shares owned by each holder of Common Stock will be reduced by the ratio of 2000 to 1; |
| · | The per share loss and net book value of our Common Stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding; and |
| · | The par value of the Common Stock will remain $0.0001 per share. |
There is currently no intention for the Company to go private, and the Reverse Split is not intended to be a first step in a going private transaction and will not have the effect of a going private transaction covered by Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, the Reverse Split will not increase the risk of the Company becoming a private company in the future.
Manner of Effecting the Reverse Stock Split and Exchange Stock Certificates
The Reverse Split will become effective on the date of the receipt of the FINRA’s approval notice unless we specify otherwise (the “Effective Date”). Upon written request by a stockholder to the Company’s transfer agent at the following address:
Interwest Transfer Company, Inc.
1981 Murray Holladay Road, Suite 100
Salt Lake City, UT 84117
Phone: (801)272-9294
Fax: (801)277-3147
The Company shall send through its transfer agent to such stockholder a letter of transmittal. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions for the surrender of certificates representing the Old Shares. Upon proper completion and execution of the letter of transmittal and return thereof, together with certificates representing the Old Shares, the stockholder will be entitled to receive a certificate representing the number of the New Shares into which his Old Shares have been reclassified as a result of the Reverse Split. No new certificate will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered his outstanding certificates together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal. Until so surrendered, each outstanding certificate representing the Old Shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes after the Effective Date to evidence ownership of the New Shares in the appropriately reduced number.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences
We believe that the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split to holders of Old Shares and holders of New Shares will be as follows:
| · | No gain or loss will be recognized by a stockholder on the surrender of the Old Shares or receipt of a certificate representing New Shares. |
| · | The aggregate tax basis of the New Shares will equal the aggregate tax basis of the Old Shares exchanged therefor. |
| · | The holding period of the New Shares will include the holding period of the Old Shares if such Old Shares were held as capital assets. |
| · | The conversion of the Old Shares into the New Shares will produce no gain or loss to us. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the federal income tax consequences of the receipt of an additional share in lieu of a fractional interest is not clear, but may result in tax liabilities which should not be material in amount in view of the low value of the fractional interest.
Our beliefs regarding the tax consequence of the Reverse Split are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will accept the positions expressed above.

APPENDIX B
CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF SERIES A PREFERRED SHARES
OF GENIO GROUP, INC.
Pursuant to Section 242 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares par value $1.00 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) of GENIO GROUP, INC. (the “Company”) shall have the following rights and preferences:
1. Designation and Amount. The number of shares constituting the series of Series A Preferred Shares shall be 1,000,000.
2. Voting.
(a) Each issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Share shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the result of: (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Shares") issued and outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 2.33334; divided by (ii) the total number of Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding at the time of such vote, at each meeting of shareholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Company for their action or consideration, including the election of directors. Holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of Common Shares as a single class.
(b) The Company shall not amend, alter or repeal the Series A Preferred Shares, special rights or other powers of the Series A Preferred Shares so as to affect adversely the Series A Preferred Shares, without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding aggregate number of shares of such adversely affected Series A Preferred Shares, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class.
3. Mandatory Conversion. Each Series A Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into 1 share of common stock of the Company at any time at the option of the holder. No fractional shares of common stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares. If any event shall occur including but not limited to issuance of common stock of the Company or recapitalization of the Company which the failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the conversion rights set forth herein (which are to place the holder s of the Series A Preferred Shares in a position as nearly equal as possible to the position the holder would have occupied had holder converted the Series A Preferred Shares on the date hereof), then, in each such case, the Board of Directors of the Company shall cause the Company to make such adjustments to the conversion ratio to preserve, without any dilution whatsoever, the conversion rights represented by the Series A Preferred Shares. Thus the conversion rights set forth herein shall not be subject to dilution.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, GENIUO GROUP, INC. has caused this Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Shares to be signed and attested to by its duly authorized officers as of the 6th day of July, 2009.
