NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
To the Holders of Common Stock of Intellicell Biosciences, Inc.:
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to the holders (the “Stockholders”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Intellicell Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), to notify the Stockholders that on October 4, 2013, the Company received an unanimous written consent from the holder of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred”). Each one share of Series B Preferred has voting rights equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred is convertible into on the record date of such vote multiplied by (b) ten (10). Currently, there is one holder of Series B Preferred (the “Series B Stockholder” or the “Majority Stockholder”), holding fifteen thousand fifty eight (15,058) shares of Series B Preferred, resulting in the Series B Stockholder holding in the aggregate approximately 150,580,000 votes or 50.4% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company. The Series B Stockholder authorized the following:
| · | The increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from five hundred million (500,000,000) shares of Common Stock to one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Share Increase”). |
On October 4, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board”) approved the Authorized Share Increase and recommended to the Majority Stockholder that he approve the Authorized Share Increase. On October 4, 2013, the Majority Stockholder approved the Authorized Share Increase by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes. Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Authorized Share Increase.
We will mail the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent to the Stockholders on or about October 31, 2013.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.
The Board believes the Authorized Share Increase is necessary and advisable in order to maintain the Company’s financing and capital raising ability and to generally maintain our flexibility in today’s competitive and rapidly changing environment.
Accordingly, it is the Board’s opinion that the Authorized Share Increase would better position the Company to attract potential business candidates and provide the Stockholders a greater potential return.
INTRODUCTION
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, require that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to a company.
In accordance with the foregoing, we will mail the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent on or about October 31, 2013.
This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Authorized Share Increase approved by the Board of Intellicell Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and the holder of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”), which constitutes a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company.
Series B Preferred
By unanimous written consent of the Board (as permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes), the number, designation, rights, preferences and privileges of the Series B Preferred were established by the Board (as is permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes and by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company). The designation, rights, preferences and privileges that the Board established for the Series B Preferred is set forth in a Certificate of Designation and Certificate of Correction to the Certificate of Designation that was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on May 27, 2011 and June 17, 2011, respectively. Among other things, the Certificate of Designation provides that each one share of Series B Preferred has voting rights equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Series B Preferred is convertible into on the record date of such vote multiplied by (b) ten (10).
By unanimous written consent of the Board, the Board issued an aggregate of fifteen thousand fifty eight (15,058) shares of Series B Preferred to one individual (the “Series B Stockholder”). As a result of the voting rights granted to the Series B Preferred, the Series B Stockholder holds in the aggregate approximately 50.4% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company.
As of October 4, 2013, there were issued and outstanding (i) 140,839,646 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 15,058 shares of Series B Preferred, (iii) 7,250 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and (iv) 56,5000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. Based on the foregoing, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Authorized Share Increase is approximately 298,669,646. Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least 149,334,824 votes, are required to approve the Authorized Share Increase by written consent. The Majority Stockholder, which holds in the aggregate 150,580,000 votes or approximately 50.4% of the voting equity of the Company, has voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase thereby satisfying the requirement under the Nevada Revised Statutes that at least a majority of the voting equity vote in favor of a corporate action by written consent.
The following table sets forth the name of the Series B Stockholder, the number of shares of Series B Preferred held by the Series B Stockholder, the total number of votes that the Series B Stockholder voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting equity of the Company that voted in favor thereof.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Name of Series B Stockholder | Number of Shares of Series B Preferred held | Number of Votes held by such Series B Stockholder | Number of Votes that Voted in favor of the Actions | Percentage of the Voting Equity that Voted in favor of the Actions | |
| Steven A. Victor, M.D. | 15,058 | 150,580,000 | 150,580,000 | 50.417% | |
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
The Authorized Share Increase will become effective on the date that we file the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We intend to file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders.
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
GENERAL
The number of authorized shares of our Common Stock will be increased from five hundred million (500,000,000) shares to one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”).
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
The Board believes the Authorized Share Increase is necessary and advisable in order to maintain our financing and capital raising ability and to generally maintain our flexibility in today’s competitive and rapidly changing environment. The additional one billion (1,000,000,000) shares of Common Stock so authorized will be available for issuance by the Board for stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of Common Stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company’s business or the trading price of the Common Stock. The immediate purpose for increasing the authorized shares is to provide enough shares required for the conversion of outstanding convertible securities. The additional shares of Common Stock may also be used for future issuances of stock options pursuant to employee benefit plans and to provide for issuances to satisfy conversions of future convertible debt or convertible preferred stock. The Company does not anticipate that it would seek authorization from the stockholders for issuance of such additional shares unless required by applicable law or regulations.
The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock and any subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law and stock exchange regulations) be issued in one or more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and has not presented this proposal with the intention that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common stock be used as a type of antitakeover device. Any additional Common Stock, when issued, would have the same rights and preferences as the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of October 4, 2013 and as adjusted to reflect the sale of our common stock offered by this prospectus, by (a) each person who is known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock, (b) each of our directors and executive officers, and (c) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. As of October 4, 2013, there were a total of 140,839,646 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on matters on which holders of voting stock of the Company are eligible to vote. The column entitled “Percentage of Outstanding Common Stock” shows the percentage of voting common stock beneficially owned by each listed party.
The number of shares beneficially owned is determined under the rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power plus any shares which such person or entity has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of October 4, 2013, through the exercise or conversion of any stock option, convertible security, warrant or other right. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares such power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.
| Name of Beneficial Owner (1) | | Common Stock Beneficially Owned | | | Percentage of Common Stock (2) | |
| Dr. Steven Victor(3) | | | 16,558,000 | | | | 11.7 | % |

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of October 4, 2013, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Does not include (i) 7,250,000 shares of common stock underlying the series C preferred stock, (ii) 9,066,667 shares of common stock underlying $1,360,000 of convertible notes (which are convertible at price of $0.15), and (iv) 3,071,542 shares of common stock underlying warrants (which are exercisable at a price of $0.88). |

Each share of series B preferred stock shall be convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of stockholders’ meeting and to vote as a single class with the holders of the common stock upon any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote, and shall be entitled to such number of votes as shall equal the product of (a) the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into on the record date of such vote multiplied by (b) ten (10). Also includes 1,745,371 shares of common stock owned by VPI LaserLipo, Inc., a company in which Dr. Victor is an officer and director (and in which he owns less than 1% of the shares).

| (5) | As indicated above, VPI LaserLipo, Inc. is a company in which Dr. Victor is an officer and director (and in which he owns less than 1% of the shares). By virtue of his role as an officer and director, Dr Victor may be deemed the control person on VPI LaserLipo, Inc. |
