PROPOSAL 1
AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK TO 500,000,000 SHARES
Introduction
On August 24, 2006, our board of directors unanimously adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to amend our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. Our board of directors further directed that this amendment to our certificate of incorporation be submitted for consideration by our stockholders. On August 29, 2006, the holders of our voting stock approved the increase of our authorized common stock to 500,000,000 shares.
Effective Time of the Charter Amendment Increasing our Authorized Common Stock
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this information statement is sent to our shareholders, an amendment to our certificate of incorporation effectuating the increase of our authorized common stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada. This amendment to our certificate of incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date the amendment to the certificate of incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Nevada. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made in the last week of September 2006. A copy of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation is attached to this information statement as Appendix A.
Principal Reasons for Increase in Authorized Common Stock
Currently, our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Authorizing an additional 450,000,000 shares of common stock would give our board of directors the express authority without further action of the stockholders to issue common stock from time to time as the board deems necessary. The board of directors believes it is necessary to have the ability to issue such additional shares of common stock for general corporate purposes. Potential uses of the additional authorized shares may include equity financings, issuance of options, acquisition transactions, stock dividends or distributions, without further action of the stockholders, unless such action were specifically required by applicable by or rules of any stock exchange or similar system on which our securities may then be listed. The board of directors chose such a large number of shares of authorized common stock because it wants maximum flexibility to issue common stock in the future without having to seek stockholder approval in the future.
Within the limits imposed by applicable law, described below, shares of common stock could be issued in one or more transactions. Depending upon the nature and terms thereof, such a transaction or transactions could make a takeover of Marmion more difficult and, therefore, less likely. An issuance of additional shares of common stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of existing shares of common stock and diluting the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Marmion. The board of directors has no present plans, understandings, or agreements to issue the additional shares to be authorized.
Our charter currently provides that preferred stock may be issued in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, to determine the designation of any such series and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and limitations of such preferred stock. Depending upon the nature and terms of any such designated and issued preferred stock, such issuance could make a takeover of our company more difficult and therefore, less likely. An issuance of any shares of preferred stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of existing shares of common stock. The board of directors has no present plans, understandings, or agreements to issue any preferred stock. Other than our preferred stock as discussed above, there are no provisions of our articles, bylaws, employment agreements or credit agreements that have material antitakeover consequence.
6
The board of directors does not currently intend to propose any amendments to Marmion’s articles of incorporation which might be deemed to have the effect of discouraging takeover attempts, although such amendments or other programs may be considered by the board in the future if it believes the interests of the stockholders would be protected thereby. Management might be able to use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders. However, it should be noted that management and its family members currently control 99% of the outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis and consider a hostile takeover attempt very unlikely.
All shares of common stock, including the additional shares of common stock that will be authorized when the Charter Amendment becomes effective, which are not issued and outstanding would be issuable at any time or from time to time by action of the board of directors without further authorization from stockholders, except to the extent that such further authorization is required by the terms of any agreements into which Marmion may hereafter enter, by the terms of any securities that Marmion may hereafter issue, or applicable law.
The additional shares of common stock which would be authorized would have the same rights and privileges as and otherwise be identical to the shares of common stock currently authorized and outstanding.
