NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
GENERAL INFORMATION
To the Holders of Common Stock of Dominovas Energy Corporation:
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 “Shareholders”) of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), of Dominovas Energy Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company ”), to notify the Shareholders that on August 14, 2015, the Company received a written consent in lieu of a meeting (the “Written Consent”) from certain holders of Common Stock who hold 87,639,097 shares of Common Stock(the “Majority Shareholders”), which is approximately 51.2% of all issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The Majority Shareholders approved the following actions:
· | Increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to seven hundred million (700,000,000) (the “Authorized Increase”); and |
· | Create a class of “blank check” preferred stock and authorize ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock Amendment”). |
On August 14, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company (“Board of Directors”) approved the Authorized Increase and the Preferred Stock Amendment (collectively the “Actions”) recommended to the majority Shareholders that they approve the Actions. On August 14, 2015, the Majority Shareholders approved the Actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of these Actions.
We will mail this Information Statement to the Shareholders on or about September 15, 2015. The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.
INTRODUCTION
Section 78.320 of the NRS provides 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 Shareholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. The NRS, however, requires 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 Shareholders 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 this Information Statement to the Shareholders on or about September 15, 2015. This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Actions approved by the Board of Dominovas Energy Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and the Majority Shareholders who hold a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company.
Common Stock
As of August 14, 2015, there were issued and outstanding 171,095,491 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to Section 78.320 of the NRS, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least 85,547,746 votes, is required to approve the Actions by written consent. The Majority Shareholders, who hold 87,639,097 shares of Common Stock (approximately 51.2% of the total class of Common Stock), has voted in favor of the Actions, thereby satisfying the requirement under Section 78.320 of the NRS 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 Majority Shareholders, the number of shares of Common Stock, the total number of shares that the Majority Shareholders voted in favor of the Actions, and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting equity of the Company voted in favor thereof.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The Actions will become effective on the date that we file Certificates of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, (the “Amendment(s)”), with the State of Nevada. We intend to file the Amendments with the State of Nevada promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Shareholders.
INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The number of authorized shares of Common Stock will be increased to seven hundred million (700,000,000) The Board of Directors believes the Authorized Increase is necessary and advisable in order to maintain our financing and capital raising ability.
The purpose of the Authorized Increase is to increase the number of shares of our Common Stock available for issuance to investors who agree to provide the Company with the funding it requires to continue its operations, and/or to persons in connection with potential acquisition transactions, warrant or option exercises and other transactions under which our Board of Directors may determine is in the best interest of the Company and our Shareholders to issue shares of Common Stock.
The increase in authorized Common Stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing Shareholders, but may have a dilutive effect our existing Shareholders if additional shares are issued.
We are not increasing our authorized Common Stock to construct or enable any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on behalf of the Company. While it is possible that management could use the additional common shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent Shareholders, we have no intent or plan to employ the additional unissued authorized shares as an anti-takeover device.
CREATE BLANK CHECK CLASS OF PREFERRED STOCK
The Authorized Increase is being sought to enhance corporate flexibility and to advance to the Company’s business plan. Similarly, we believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we may need to raise investment capital and it may be preferable or necessary to issue preferred stock to investors and or to retain key personnel. Preferred stock usually grants the holders certain preferential rights in voting, dividends, liquidation or other rights in preference over a company's common stock. Accordingly, in order to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company, or as may be required by the capital markets, the Preferred Stock Amendment will create 10,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock for us to issue.
The term “blank check” refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by our Shareholders and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by our Board of Directors upon issuance. The authorization of such “blank check” preferred stock permits our Board of Directors to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series without seeking further action or vote of our Shareholders.
PRINCIPAL EFFECTS OF THE CREATION OF SHARES OF “BLANK CHECK” PREFERRED STOCK
Subject to the provisions of the Preferred Stock Amendment and the limitations prescribed by law, our Board of Directors would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by our Shareholders. Our Board of Directors would be required to make any determination to issue shares of preferred stock based on its judgment as to what is in the best interests of the Company and our Shareholders. The Preferred Stock Amendment will give our Board of Directors flexibility, without further Shareholder action, to issue preferred stock on such terms and conditions as our Board of Directors deems to be in our best interests and the best interests of our Shareholders.
The authorization of the “blank check” preferred stock will provide us with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements. It will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by our Board of Directors for any proper corporate purpose. It is anticipated that such purposes may include, without limitation, exchanging preferred stock for Common Stock, the issuance for cash as a means of obtaining capital for our use, or issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by us for acquisitions of other businesses or assets.
2
The issuance by us of preferred stock could dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per share of existing holders of our Common Stock. Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the amount of shares issued. The newly authorized shares of preferred stock could also have voting rights superior to our Common Stock, and therefore would have a dilutive effect on the voting power of our existing Shareholders.
Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of our Company. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue such shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of our Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive our Shareholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to our Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to Shareholders generally.
The Company has (i) no present plans or commitments for the issuance or use of the preferred stock in connection with any financing, and (ii) no present plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, at this time to issue any of the preferred stock in connection with a merger, share exchange or acquisition.
