Re: | Global Vision Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") Issuance of Company Shares of Common Stock to Asher Enterprises, Inc. |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This law firm represents the Company. We have reviewed documents of Asher Enterprises, Inc. ("Asher") requesting: (1) the issuance of a Company stock certificate for 7,217,391 shares of Class Bcommon stock; and (2) the issuance of that stock certificate without any restrictive legend.This letter is a demand from the Company to cease and desist from issuing any securities of the Company to Asher for the following reasons:
After reviewing the Company's corporate history and reporting status with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), Company shareholders are not currently eligible to utilize the safe harbor from being a statutory underwriter provided by the Rule 144 of Regulation A-R of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act").
Instead, Asher is attempting to rely on the general exemption provided by Regulation 4(a)(1) of the Act for a transaction by a person other than an issuer, underwriter or dealer.
There are several reasons why Asher is not entitled to either the issuance of the stock certificate nor the issuance of a stock certificate without a restrictive legend, including, but not limited to:
1. | According to the case ofAckerberg v. Johnson,securities must be held for a minimum of two years before the restrictive legend may be removed. The legal opinion states that the securities were acquired on April 11, 2013. Additionally, there are additional securities dated October 28, 2013. We have not yet been able to ascertain which securities are attempting to be converted, but either way, two years have not yet passed and therefore the restrictive legend may not yet be removed even if a stock certificate was issued. |

2. | There is case law which states a restrictive legend may not be removed from shares pursuant to "transactions by which substantial quantities of securities are disposed of to the public." The term "substantial quantities" is not defined but the legal opinion states that Asher owns approximately 9.9% of the outstanding securities of the Company. Ownership of 9.9% is substantial in that the SEC requires insider filings to be made by such owners as such owners have the power to sway a shareholder vote. Therefore, the amount of shares being requested is a substantial quantity. |
3. | Last, an argument can be made that Asher entered into the debt with a view towards distribution and therefore would be deemed an underwriter regardless of the length of time Asher has held the securities. Whether relying on Rule 144 or Regulation 4(a)(1), it appears that Asher may be a statutory underwriter and therefore not entitled to the benefits of either exemption. |
