PRELIMINARY INFORMATION STATEMENT
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION OF THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS
IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU
ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
Dear Shareholders:
This Information Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Power of the Dream Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) to inform shareholders of the Company of certain actions adopted by the Board and approved by shareholders holding a majority in interest of the voting power of the Company. This Information Statement will be mailed on approximately April 15, 2012 to shareholders of record of the Company’s Common Stock and Series A Preferred stock as of April 15, 2012 (“Record Date”). Specifically, this Information Statement relates to the following matters:
(i)
the reduction of the authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 250,000,000 to 50,000,000 such shares without affecting the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock;
(ii)
an increase in the par value of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock from $.0001 per share to $.001 per share; and
(iii)
the creation of a class of Series B Preferred stock of the Company having the characteristics described below.
All of these matters will be accomplished through filing an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”). A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A.
On April 4, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted resolutions by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting pursuant to which the Board approved: (i) a reduction in the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 such shares; (ii) an increase in the par value of the Company common stock and preferred stock from $.0001 per share to $.001 per share; and (iii) the creation of a class of Series B Preferred shares having the characteristics described below in the Information Statement under “CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED.” The Series B Shares will be not be issued at the time they are authorized, but will be available to be issued from time to time in such amounts and upon such conditions as may be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.
2
As part of the reduction of the authorized shares of common stock and the increase in par value, the Company will require that all outstanding certificates for shares of the Company’s common stock and Series A Preferred stock be surrendered to our transfer agent, Fidelity Transfer Company, for cancellation and the reissuance of certificates for the same number of shares in the same amounts but containing the proper references to the Company’s total authorized shares and its new par value per share. The expenses for the return of old certificates to the transfer agent will be paid by the Company’s stockholders, but the issuance and delivery of the new certificates will be paid for by the Company; provided, that the stockholder returns his old certificate for cancellation within thirty (30) days of the date of filing of the Amendment, estimated to be on May 6, 2012.
On April 4, 2012 the Company’s Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding voting shares of common stock voting together as a separate class, and the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred shares, authorized the following amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation: (i) a reduction in the authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 such shares; (ii) an increase in the par value of the Company common stock and preferred stock from $.0001 per share to $.001 per share; and (iii) the creation of a new class of one million (1,000,000) Series B Preferred shares (the “Series B Preferred”) having the characteristics described in the within Information Statement. See “CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED.”
All of the amendments will be accomplished through filing the Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. 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 on or about the Record Date.

You are urged to read this Information Statement in its entirety for a description of the actions taken by the Board of Directors and approved by the majority shareholders of the Company.

This Information Statement is to inform you of the actions taken by the Board of Directors of the Company and approved by a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock voting as a class, and by the holders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock of the Company, on April 4, 2012 and to discuss the purposes and reasons for such actions.
PURPOSE OF
AMENDMENTS OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The Board of Directors determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to reduce the authorized shares of common stock and increase the par value because the Board believes that the combination of too many authorized shares in combination with the smaller par value creates a negative perception of the Company in the market place. The Board determined that the creation of the Series B Preferred with the characteristics described below gives it flexibility in connection with future transactional activity of the Company without the requirement of having to seek stockholder approval at that time with the required disclosure and regulatory filings and the mandatory time periods before which certain actions could not otherwise be taken.
The filing of the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, which will effect the foregoing amendments, will not be done until a date which is at least twenty (20) days after the mailing of the definitive Information Statement. This Information Statement will be sent on or about April 15, 2012 to the Company’s shareholders of record on the Record Date who have not been solicited for their consent to this corporate action.
VOTING SECURITIES
The Record Date of shareholders entitled to receive notice of this corporate action by the Company is the close of business on April 15, 2012. The Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock voting together as a separate class and the votes of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock. On April 4, 2012, the Company had issued and outstanding 38,428,044 shares of its Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, on April 4, 2012, the Company needed a majority of the common shares voting together as a single class, or 19,598,302 shares, to achieve a 51% majority, and the Company received the votes of holders of a total of 20,582,424 votes of common stock or 53.81% of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote, in favor of the Amendment. The Company also received the affirmative vote of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred stock entitled to vote on the Amendment. Pursuant to Delaware law, there are no dissenter’s or appraisal rights relating to the actions taken.
Description of Reduction in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
In the Amendment the Company will reduce its authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 such shares to 50,000,000 such shares. The Amendment will not affect the issued and outstanding shares of common stock nor the voting or other rights associated with ownership of our common stock. The sole effect will be to reduce the number of shares of common stock the Company may issue in the future to the reduced number of 50,000,000 such shares.
4
Description of Increase in Par Value
In the Amendment the Company will increase the par value of the common stock from $.0001 to $.001 per share. This increase will apply to the shares of common stock that are issued and outstanding, but will not have any effect on your ownership of your shares or your ability to buy and sell them. We have been advised by our accountants that the increase in par value will not affect our already reported financial statements.
