CHANGE IN CONTROL
On June 18, 2004, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"), Christina M. Strauch, Michael K. Hair, P.C., Robert H. Korndorffer (collectively, the "Selling Shareholders") sold 8,888,224 shares of the common stock of CESV (formerly known as Rim Holdings, Inc.) for $225,000 (the "Sale") to Best Development Company, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation and Jie Zhu, an individual. In connection with this transaction, CESV also redeemed 1,000,000 shares of the CESV's common stock held by Christina M. Strauch. As a result, the 8,888,224 shares of the common stock of CESV sold represented approximately 50.1% of CESV’s total outstanding stock. No part of the consideration used to acquire control of CESV was from a loan.
The proceeds from the Sale were then loaned to CESV by the Selling Shareholders. CESV used such proceeds to pay off the liabilities of CESV. Both Christina M. Strauch and Robert Korndorffer were issued convertible promissory notes as consideration for the loans which are convertible into 3,993,700 and 1,126,300 shares, respectively, of the Company's restricted common stock. Michael K. Hair, P.C. assigned his convertible promissory note to Nimish Patel, counsel for the Company, as partial payment for legal services provided to the Company. This promissory note is convertible into 833,320 shares of the Company's restricted common stock. The Sale and the contributions described in this paragraph referred to herein as the "Transactions." The closing date for the Agreement was June 18, 2004. All such convertible promissory notes were converted into our common stock on August 25, 2004.
NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
The following action was taken based upon the unanimous recommendation of CESV’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the written consent of the consenting stockholder:
ACTION 1
FORWARD STOCK SPLIT
MATERIAL TERMS OF THE FORWARD SPLIT
The Board has unanimously adopted and the consenting stockholder has approved a resolution, attached as Exhibit 1 hereto, to effect a two-for-one (2:1) forward stock split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of CESV (the "Forward Split"). The Board and the consenting stockholder believe that the Forward Split is in CESV’s best interests, principally because it may ultimately increase the trading price of the Common Stock, as more shares will be available for the marketplace. An increase in the price of the Common Stock may, in turn, generate greater investor interest in the Common Stock, thereby enhancing the marketability of the Common Stock to the financial community.
The immediate effect of the Forward Split will be to increase the number of presently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from approximately 24,702,502 shares to approximately 49,405,004 shares presently issued and outstanding. Although the Forward Split may ultimately increase the market price of the Common Stock, no such increase can be assured or calculated. The market price of the Common Stock may fall proportion to the increase in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the Forward Split, nor can there be any assurances that the Forward Split will lead to a sustained increase in the market price of the Common Stock. The market price of the Common Stock may also change as a result of other unrelated factors, including CESV's operating performance and other factors related to its business as well as general market conditions.
The Forward Split will affect all of the holders of CESV's Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any shareholder's percentage ownership interest in CESV’s or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that will result from the rounding up of fractional shares.
The Forward Split of the Common Stock is expected to become effective on or about July ___, 2005 (the "Effective Date"). Upon the Effective Date, CESV will file a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada, a form of which is attached as “Exhibit A” to the resolution set forth as Exhibit 1 to implement an increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 200,000,000. Under federal securities laws, CESV cannot file the Certificate of Change or the Certificate of Amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement. Upon the Effective date, the Company will also notify the National Association of Securities Dealers and the NASDAQ National Market, requesting that the split be made effective on the Effective Date. The Forward Split will take place on the Effective Date without any action on the part of the holders of the Common Stock and without regard to current certificates representing shares of Common Stock being physically surrendered for certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock each shareholder is entitled to receive as a result of the Forward Split. New certificates of Common Stock will not be issued.
We do not have any provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or employment or credit agreements to which we are party that have anti-takeover consequences. We do not currently have any plans to adopt anti-takeover provisions or enter into any arrangements or understandings that would have anti-takeover consequences. In certain circumstances, our management may issue additional shares to resist a third party takeover transaction, even if done at an above market premium and favored by a majority of independent shareholders.
There are no adverse material consequences or any anti-takeover provisions in either our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws that would be triggered as a consequence of the Forward Split. The Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws do not address any consequence of the Forward Split.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following summary of certain material federal income tax consequences of the Forward Split does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences and is included for general information only. Further, it does not address any state, local, foreign or other income tax consequences, nor does it address the tax consequences to stockholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The discussion is based on the United States federal income tax laws as of the date of this Information Statement. Such laws are subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively. This summary also assumes that the shares of Common Stock are held as "capital assets," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending on the facts and circumstances of such stockholder.
EACH STOCKHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH SUCH STOCKHOLDER'S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE FORWARD SPLIT.
The Forward Stock Split should qualify as a recapitalization described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder as a result of the Forward Split. The aggregate tax basis of the shares received in the Forward Split will be the same as the stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the shares exchanged. The stockholder's holding period for the shares received in the Forward Split will include the period during which the stockholder held the shares surrendered as a result of the Forward Split. CESV’s views regarding the tax consequences of the Forward Split are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would accept the positions expressed above. The state and local tax consequences of the Forward Split may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending on the state in which such stockholder resides.
ACTION 2
AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
The Board and the consenting stockholder adopted and approved resolutions to adopt amendments to CESV’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized capital stock from 60,000,000 to 210,000,000 shares and increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares with the authorized shares of preferred stock of the Corporation to remain 10,000,000 shares (“Authorized Shares Increase”). The par value of each such share of common stock shall be $0.001 per share. The text of the resolution is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
Currently, CESV has 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which 24,702,502 shares are issued and outstanding as of the record date.
The Authorized Share Increase will be implemented by filing a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada, a form of which is attached as “Exhibit A” to the resolution set forth as Exhibit 1. Under federal securities laws, CESV cannot file the Certificate of Change or the Certificate of Amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement.
The Board and the consenting stockholder believe that the Authorized Share Increase are in CESV's best interests, principally because CESV intends to forward split the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company which will result in approximately 49,405,004 being issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for the Company to have a reasonable reserve of authorized but unissued shares of common stock in order to allow for future stock issuances. The additional shares of Common Stock described will enhance CESV’s flexibility in connection with possible future actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, acquisitions of property and securities of other companies, financings, and other corporate purposes. The future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock on other than a pro rata basis to existing stockholders will dilute the ownership of the current stockholders, as well as their proportionate voting rights. However, at this time, CESV does not have any plans to issue any unallotted authorized capital.
The above-described actions are not intended to have any anti-takeover effect and is not part of any series of anti-takeover measures contained in any debt instruments or the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of CESV in effect on the date of this Information Statement. However, CESV stockholders should note that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares of common stock could make any attempt to gain control of CESV or the Board more difficult or time consuming and that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares might make it more difficult to remove management. Although the Board currently has no intention of doing so, shares of common stock could be issued by the Board to dilute the percentage of common stock owned by a significant stockholder and increase the cost of, or the number of, voting shares necessary to acquire control of the Board or to meet the voting requirements imposed by Nevada law with respect to a merger or other business combination involving CESV. In addition, it is possible that the officers and directors of CESV may use the additional shares to resist or frustrate third-party transactions that may provide an above-market premium for the purchase of shares of the stock of CESV that may be favored by a majority of independent shareholders.
The Forward Split and the Authorized Share Increase have the following effects upon the number of shares of common stock outstanding (24,702,502 shares as of the Record Date) and upon the number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock (assuming that no additional shares of common stock are issued by the Company after the Record Date): The common stock will continue to be $0.001 par value common stock following any Forward Split, and the number of shares of common stock outstanding will be increased. The following example is intended for illustrative purposes.
Following the Forward Stock Split and the Authorized Share Increase, the number of shares of CESV’s common stock will be as follows:
| | Common Stock Outstanding | | Authorized Common Stock |
| | | | |
Pre Forward Split | | 24,702,502 | | 50,000,000 |
| | | | |
2 for 1 | | 49,405,004 | | 200,000,000 |
