NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
The following action was taken by written consent of the consenting stockholders:
ACTION
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
MATERIAL TERMS OF THE REVERSE SPLIT
The consenting stockholders have approved a resolution authorizing the Board of Directors to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a twenty-six-for-one reverse stock split of the common stock of the Company (the “Reverse Split”).
The amendment will be referred to in this Information Statement as the “Reverse Split Amendment.” The proposed form of the Reverse Split Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Attachment A to the resolutions approving the Reverse Split, which are attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit 1. The Reverse Split Amendment will become effective on the date it is filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which date will be selected by the Board of Directors.
When the Reverse Split is effected by the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will fix a record date for determining the shares subject to the Reverse Split. As of the date of this Information Statement, the Board of Directors has not fixed a record date for the Reverse Split.
The consenting stockholders believe that the Reverse Split will be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders because the Company believes the Reverse Split will maximize stockholder value. Management believes that the Reverse Split is in the Company’s best interests in that it may increase the trading price of its common stock. An increase in the price of the common stock could, in turn, generate greater investor interest in the Company, thereby enhancing the marketability of the Company’s common stock to the financial community. The potential increases in the trading price and greater interest from the financial community could ultimately improve the trading liquidity of the Company’s common shares.
The effect of the 26:1 Reverse Split would be to reduce the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock from 77,459,309 to approximately 2,979,204 presently issued and outstanding. The Reverse Split will affect all of the holders of the Company’s common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power, except for insignificant changes that will result from the rounding of fractional shares.
4
When the Reverse Split is effected, it will take place without any further action on the part of the holders of the Company’s common stock and without regard to current certificates representing shares of the Company’s common stock being physically surrendered for certificates representing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock each stockholder is entitled to receive as a result of the Reverse Split.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Any fractional shares will be rounded to the next whole share.
We do not have any provisions in our Certificate 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. Although the Reverse Split is not intended to have any anti-takeover effect, the Company’s stockholders should note that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares of common stock resulting from the Reverse Split could make any attempt to gain control of the Company or the Board of Directors more difficult or time consuming and that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares might make it more difficult to remove management. Shares of common stock can be issued by the Board of Directors 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 of Directors or to meet the voting requirements imposed by Delaware law with respect to a merger or other business combination involving the Company; however, the Board of Directors currently has no intention to effect such a transaction. 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 stockholders.
There are no adverse material consequences or any anti-takeover provisions in either our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that would be triggered as a consequence of the Reverse Split. The Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws do not address any consequence of the Reverse Split.
The Reverse Split will take effect upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Under Federal securities laws, the Company cannot file the amendment until at least 20 days after mailing this Information Statement to our stockholders.
