Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On June 16, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Conversion with the State of Wyoming for CGBM, to convert CGBM from a limited liability company to a corporation. In addition, the Company filed Articles of Incorporation changing the name of CGBM to Carbon Conversion Group, Inc. (the “Corporation”).
Articles of Incorporation
The aggregate number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is 600,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares shall be shares of preferred stock, par value of $.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and 500,000,000 shares shall be shares of common stock, par value of $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”).
Common Stock
The holders of Common Stock shall have and possess all rights as shareholders of the Corporation, including such rights as may be granted elsewhere by the Articles of Incorporation, except as such rights may be limited by the preferences, privileges and voting powers, and the restrictions and limitations of the Preferred Stock.
The Common Stock shall have voting rights such that each share of Common Stock duly authorized, issued and outstanding shall entitle its holder to one vote. Cumulative voting for the election of directors shall not be permitted.
Subject to preferential dividend rights, if any, of the holders of Preferred Stock, dividends on the Common Stock may be declared by the Board of Directors and paid out of any funds legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts as the Board of Directors shall determine.
The governing board of the Corporation shall be known as directors, and the number of the directors may from time to time be increased or decreased in such manner as shall be permitted by the bylaws of this Corporation. There shall not be fewer than one member of the Board of Directors.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) - par value $0.0001 per share
The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock authorized shall be one million (1,000,000) shares. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to $0.05 (as may be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) (the “Series A Stated Value”).
Initially, there will be no dividends due or payable on the Series A Preferred Stock. Any future terms with respect to dividends shall be determined by the Board consistent with the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. Any and all such future terms concerning dividends shall be reflected in an amendment to these Articles, which the Board shall promptly file or cause to be filed.
Each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Common Stock”) determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price as defined below, at the option of the Holder in whole or in part, at any time commencing no earlier than six (6) months after the Issuance Date; provided that any conversion under this section must be made during the ten (10) day period immediately following the date on which the Corporation files with the Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic report on form 10-Q, 10-K or the equivalent form; provided further that, any conversion under this section shall be for a minimum Stated Value of $500.00 of Series A Preferred Stock. The Holder shall effect conversions by sending a conversion notice (the “Notice of Conversion”) in the manner set forth herein. Each Notice of Conversion shall specify the Stated Value of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted. The date on which such conversion is to be effected (the “Conversion Date”) shall be on the date the Notice of Conversion is delivered pursuant to this section. Except as provided herein, each Notice of Conversion, once given, shall be irrevocable. Upon the entire conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the certificates for such Series A Preferred Stock shall be returned to the Corporation for cancellation. The Conversion Price for each share of Series A Preferred Stock in effect on any Conversion Date shall be (a) eighty five percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, (b) but no less than Par Value of the Common Stock. For purposes of determining the closing bid price on any day, reference shall be to the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock on such date on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, as reported on Bloomberg, L.P. (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices).
The Series A Preferred Stock shall, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (i) prior to the Corporation’s Common Stock (ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); (iii) junior to the Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”); (iv) pari passu with any other series of preferred stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks on a parity (“Pari Passu Securities”) with the Series A Preferred Stock.
Each one share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have voting rights equal to five million (1,000) votes of Common Stock. With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) - par value $0.0001 per share
The number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized shall be one million (1,000,000) shares. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have a stated value equal to $100.00 (as may be adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) (the “Series B Stated Value”).
Initially, there will be no dividends due or payable on the Series B Preferred Stock. Any future terms with respect to dividends shall be determined by the Board consistent with the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. Any and all such future terms concerning dividends shall be reflected in an amendment to these Articles, which the Board shall promptly file or cause to be filed.
Each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Common Stock”) determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price as defined below, at the option of the Holder in whole or in part, at any time commencing no earlier than six (6) months after the Issuance Date; provided that any conversion under this section must be made during the ten (10) day period immediately following the date on which the Corporation files with the Securities and Exchange Commission any periodic report on form 10-Q, 10-K or the equivalent form; provided further that, any conversion under this section shall be for a minimum Stated Value of $500.00 of Series B Preferred Stock. The Holder shall effect conversions by sending a conversion notice (the “Notice of Conversion”) in the manner set forth herein.

Upon the entire conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the certificates for such Series B Preferred Stock shall be returned to the Corporation for cancellation. The Conversion Price for each share of Series B Preferred Stock in effect on any Conversion Date shall be (a) eighty five percent (85%) of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, (b) but no less than Par Value of the Common Stock. For purposes of determining the closing bid price on any day, reference shall be to the closing bid price for a share of Common Stock on such date on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board, as reported on Bloomberg, L.P. (or similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices).
The Series B Preferred Stock shall, as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (i) prior to the Corporation’s Common Stock (ii) prior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created that, by its terms, ranks junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); (iii) junior to the Series B Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks senior to the Series B Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”); (iv) pari passu with any other series of preferred stock of the Corporation hereafter created which by its terms ranks on a parity (“Pari Passu Securities”) with the Series B Preferred Stock.
The Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have no voting power whatsoever, except as provided by the Wyoming Business Corporation Act.
Indemnification
The liability of the directors of the Corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Wyoming law provided, however, that (1) the liability of directors is not limited or eliminated (a) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (b) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (c) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit, (d) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (e) for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2) the liability of directors is not limited or eliminated for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when these Articles of Incorporation becomes effective, or (f) any of the acts set forth in Section 17-16-202 of the Wyoming Business Corporations Act and (3) the liability of officers is not limited or eliminated for any act or omission as an officer, notwithstanding that the officer is also a director or that his or her actions, if negligent or improper, have been ratified by the directors.
The Corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person, and the estate and personal representative of any such person, against all liability and expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of, or in any similar managerial or fiduciary position of, another domestic or foreign corporation or other individual or entity or of an employee benefit plan. The Corporation also shall indemnify any person who is serving or has served the Corporation as director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, and that person’s estate and personal representative, to the extent and in the manner provided in any bylaw, resolution of the shareholders or directors, contract, or otherwise, so long as such provision is legally permissible.
