VOTE REQUIRED; MANNER OF APPROVAL
Pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statues (the “NRS”), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company is required to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”). In addition, Section 78.320 of the NRS provides in substance that stockholders may take action without a meeting of the stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of the outstanding voting shares holding not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to approve such action at a stockholders meeting. This action is effective when written consents from holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock are executed and deliv ered to the Company. Accordingly, on September 2 and 17, 2010, the Company received a Written Consent from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company which adopted the resolution authorizing the Company to amend its Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of increasing it’s authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share from 150,000,000 to 500,000,000.
The Company has no class of voting stock outstanding other than the Common Stock. On September 10, 2010, there were 149,476,087 shares of Common Stock outstanding, and each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Accordingly, the vote or written consent of the stockholders holding at least 74,738,045 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding was necessary to approve the Amendment and the filing of the Certificate of Amendment.
On September 2 and 17, 2010, stockholders holding an aggregate of 95,300,000 (representing 63.01%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock executed and delivered to the Company the Written Consent. Accordingly, in compliance with the NRS, at least a majority of the outstanding shares has approved the Amendment.
Under Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), the Certificate of Amendment cannot take effect until 20 days after this Information Statement is sent to the Company’s shareholders. However, the Company filed the Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State on October 11, 2010. The Company did not file an Information Statement prior to the legal effective date of the Amendment and is now delivering this Information Statement to its stockholders of record as of the Record Date.
PURPOSES AND EFFECT OF THE CHANGE
The Board of Directors believes that it was advisable and in our best interest to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock in order to have available additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock in an amount adequate to provide for our future needs. The availability of additional authorized but unissued shares will be achieved by effectuating an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 150,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares. This step was necessary, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, in order to satisfy our obligations to investors in a recent transaction in which we issued a convertible debenture and to establish a stock option plan and raise additional capital.
Under our current Articles of Incorporation, as amended, we have the authority to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. As of the Record Date, 149,746,087 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and as of the date hereof, the Company has issued an additional 1,480,000 shares of common stock. The Company also expects to issue shares of common stock with respect to the following:
1. Convertible Debenture: On October 22, 2010, the Company signed a proposed term sheet for a $50,000 convertible debenture. In connection with this term sheet, the convertible debenture is convertible at any time at the election of the holder at a conversion price equal to a 39.9% discount of the average of the lowest trading prices during the 10 day trading period ended on trading day prior to the date of conversion. If the proposed terms are acceptable to the Company then the Company will be obligated to reserve a sufficient number of shares to provide for the conversion of the Note.
2. Stock Option: Upon the approval of our shareholders of this proposal, the Company intends to issue 20,000,000 stock options to the management, consultants and advisors of the Company who have dedicated a significant amount of their time to the growth and development of the Company. In accordance with the proposed option agreement, each option entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at the exercise price of $0.25 per share for a period of five years from the date of the option agreement. As of the date hereof, the reported bid and ask price is $0.02 per share, a price which is below the conversion price of the options.
4
The Board further believes that it is in the Company's best interests to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Common Stock without further action by Company's shareholders (unless required by law or regulation) for such other corporate purposes as the Board may deem advisable. These purposes may include, among other things, the sale of shares to obtain additional capital funds, the purchase of property or an acquisition or other business combination with another company, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and other employee benefit plans of the Company and other bona fide purposes. Other than as described above, the Company currently have no agreements or arrangements with any third party to issue shares of Common Sto ck.
The text of the Certificate of Amendment as filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on October 11, 2010, which contains the increase in the authorized common stock is attached hereto as Appendix A.
The additional shares of Common Stock is now a part of the existing class of our common stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the currently outstanding shares of our common stock. Current shareholders do not have preemptive rights under our Articles of Incorporation, and will not have such rights with respect to these additional authorized shares of common stock. When the Board elects to issue additional shares of common stock, such issuance will have a dilutive effect on the voting power and percentage ownership of our current shareholders, and an adverse effect on the market price of the common stock.
The Board believes that the issuance of additional shares to raise capital to operate our business and to compensate employees for their services outweighs these disadvantages associated with the increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company needs the capital which will be generated from the issuance of additional common stock in order to facilitate its growth and development and its ability to compete successfully in the market for skilled employees. If we fail to facilitate growth and development, we may not be able to generate revenues or achieve profitability, and our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us. Furthermore, technological innovation is important to our success and depends, to a significant degree, on the work of technically skilled employees. Competition for the services of thes e types of employees is intense. We may not be able to attract and retain these employees if we cannot adequately compensate them for their services to the Company. If we are unable to attract and maintain technically skilled employees, our competitive position could be materially and adversely affected.
For all the foregoing reasons, Board believes that the increased in the Company’s authorized capital was in the best interest of the Company.
