Rozsnyay and Kun will deliver twelve million (12,000,000) shares of their shares of common stock (respectively, the “Rozsnyay Shares” and the “Kun Shares” and together the “Exchange Shares”) of the Company to the Company for cancellation immediately. The Agreement provides that the Exchange Shares so delivered will be returned to the treasury of the Company as unauthorized shares of common stock and will become available for subsequent issuance by the Company from time to time. In return for the surrender of the Exchange Shares, the Company will issue and deliver two million (2,000,000) restricted shares of a new class of Series A Preferred shares (the “Series A Preferred”) at the time of filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and having the characteristics described below. The Agreement provides that if the Series A Preferred shares are not authorized, issued and delivered to Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun within 60 days from October 26, 2011, then the Exchange Shares will be reissued to Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun.
On October 26, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, authorized the creation of a new class of two million (2,000,000) Series A Preferred shares (the “Series A Preferred”) having the characteristics described in the within Information Statement through filing the Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Amendment will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State not less than twenty (20) days after the Company’s filing of a definitive information statement on Schedule 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the mailing of the definitive information statement to the stockholders of the Company upon the Record Date.

This Information Statement is to inform you of the actions taken by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved by the majority shareholder of the Company, on October 26, 2011 and to discuss the purposes and reasons for such actions.
PURPOSE OF
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
As described above, on October 26, 2011 the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement with each of Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun under which they would surrender 24,000,000 shares of their common stock of the Company for cancellation, in exchange for the Company’s issuance to them of 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock. Although the Exchange Shares have been cancelled, the Company cannot issue the Series A Preferred shares to Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun until the class is created and the shares are authorized under Delaware law through filing the Amendment.
In summary, the purpose of filing the Amendment as discussed below in more detail is to eliminate a certain number of outstanding shares from the Company’s public float, and to reissue those shares gradually over a period of time.
The filing of the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, which will effect the foregoing amendment, will not be done until a date which is at least twenty (20) days after the mailing of the definitive Information Statement.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTER BEING ACTED UPON
No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer, or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, resulting from the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation described herein which is not shared by all other shareholders pro rata and in accordance with their respective interests, except as follows:
(i) As of September 30, 2011, the Company had 250,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance, of which 57,970,344 shares are issued and outstanding. Messrs. Viktor Rozsnyay and Daniel Kun, Jr., respectively the President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and Vice President of the Company owned the following shares of common stock of the Company that represent the percent of voting shares of the Company common stock indicated:
Table 1
| | |
Name | Number of Shares of Common Stock | Percentage |
Daniel Kun, Jr. | 14,430,000 | 24.89% |
Viktor Rozsnyay | 13,909,900 | 23.99% |
On October 26, 2011 the Company entered into an equity exchange agreement (the “Agreement”) with each of Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun. Each Agreement is identical and provides in summary form as follows: each of Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun will deliver twelve million (12,000,000) shares of their shares of common stock (respectively the “Rozsnyay Shares” and the “Kun Shares” and together the “Exchange Shares”) of the Company to the Company for cancellation immediately. The Agreement provides that the Exchange Shares so delivered will be returned to the treasury of the Company as unauthorized shares of common stock and will become available for subsequent issuance by the Company from time to time.
5
As a result of the Agreement, immediately following the return of the Exchange Shares for cancellation Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun will own the following shares representing the following voting percentages of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as set forth below:
Table 2
| | |
Name | Number of Shares of Common Stock | Percentage1 |
Daniel Kun, Jr. | 2,430,000 | 4.19% |
Viktor Rozsnyay | 1,909,900 | 3.29% |
In return for the surrender of the Exchange Shares, the Company will issue and deliver two million (2,000,000) restricted shares of a new class of Series A Preferred shares (the “Series A Preferred”) which, among other characteristics, have the right to vote on an “as if” fully converted basis of 40 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred. The Company’s ability to authorize and issue the Series A Preferred depends upon making certain filings under the Exchange Act with the Commission, mailing a definitive information statement to its stockholders and filing an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
Therefore, assuming the Series A Preferred shares are issued to Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun as required by the Agreement, upon such issuance Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun will own the following shares representing the following voting percentages of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as set forth below:
Table 3

Daniel Kun, Jr. | 42,430,000 | 37.23% |
Viktor Rozsnyay | 41,909,900 | 36.77% |
The Agreement provides that if the Series A Preferred shares are not authorized, issued and delivered to Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun within 60 days from October 26, 2011, then the Exchange Shares will be reissued to Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun. In such event, the respective voting percentages of Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun will revert to those set forth in Table 1 above (assuming no other share issuances by the Company during the 60 day period).
1 This percentage assumes the retirement of 24,000,000 shares of common stock and is calculated against a total number of 33,970,344 issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of September 30, 2011
2 This assumes voting of all 2,000,000 Series A Preferred on an “as if” fully converted basis at the rate of 40 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred.
3 This assumes voting of all 2,000,000 Series A Preferred on an “as if” fully converted basis at the rate of 40 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred.
6
(ii) Each of Messrs. Rozsnyay and Kun shall also have the following rights as holders of the Series A Preferred stock:

(2)
Each share of Series A Preferred shall participate in all distributions or dividends of the Company on an “as if” fully converted basis except that (1) in the event of any stock dividend or other equity distribution by the Company of (1) its own shares or (2) of the shares of common stock or other form of equity, such as but not limited to warrants, options or rights, of any other corporation or entity that are owned by the Company, each Series A Preferred share shall receive fifteen (15) shares of common stock or the equivalent in any other form of equity, and (2) on liquidation of the Company the holder of each Series A Preferred share shall first be paid the par value of the share of Series A Preferred, and then participate on an “as if” fully converted basis with all holders of issued and outstanding shares of common stock participating in the liquidating distribution, in full satisfaction of all liquidation preferences under the Amendment;
