PROPOSAL 1
AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO
EFFECT INCREASE IN COMMON STOCK
Purpose and effect of the Increase in Common Stock
Common Stock
AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION
On August 21, 2013, our Board of Directors and majority shareholder, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, approved the amendment the Company's Articles to increase the authorized common stock of the Company from 290,000,000 shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of this proposed increase in authorized common stock is to make available additional shares of common stock for issuance for general corporate purposes, the business operations of the Company and subsequent financing activities, without the requirement of further action by the shareholders of the Company. The Board of Directors has considered potential uses of the additional authorized shares of common stock, which may include the seeking of additional equity financing through public or private offerings, establishing additional employee or director equity compensation plans or arrangements or for other general corporate purposes. Increasing the authorized number of shares of the common stock of the Company will provide the Company with greater flexibility and allow the issuance of additional shares of common stock in most cases without the expense or delay of seeking further approval from the shareholders. The Company is at all times investigating additional sources of financing which the Board of Directors believes will be in the Company's best interests and in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company.
The shares of common stock do not carry any pre-emptive rights. The adoption of the Amendment will not of itself cause any changes in the Company's capital accounts.
The increase in authorized common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, the Board of Directors will have the authority to issue authorized shares of common stock without requiring future approval from the shareholders of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or exchange regulations. To the extent that additional authorized shares of common stock are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing shareholders' percentage equity ownership interests and, depending upon the price at which such shares of common stock are issued, could be dilutive to the existing shareholders. Any such issuance of additional shares of common stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.
One of the effects of the increase in authorized common stock, if adopted, however, may be to enable the Board of Directors to render it more difficult to or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of present management. The Board of Directors would, unless prohibited by applicable law, have additional shares of common stock available to effect transactions (including private placements) in which the number of the Company's outstanding shares would be increased and would thereby dilute the interest of any party attempting to gain control of the Company. Such action, however, could discourage an acquisition of the Company which the shareholders of the Company might view as desirable.
The Company does not have any current plans or arrangements to issue additional shares that will become authorized common stock of the Company pursuant to the Increase in Common Stock. Also, the Increase in Common Stock will result in an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company's common stock, it may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect. Although the Increase in Common Stock is not being undertaken for this purpose, in the future the board of directors could, subject to its fiduciary duties and applicable law, use the increased number of authorized but unissued shares to frustrate persons seeking to take over or otherwise gain control of our company by, for example, privately placing shares with purchasers who might side with the board of directors in opposing a hostile takeover bid. Such use of the Company's common stock could render more difficult, or discourage, an attempt to acquire control of our company if such transactions were opposed by the board of directors.
Effective Time of the Amendment
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the 20th day after this Information Statement is sent to our shareholders, an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation effectuating the Increase in Common Stock with the Secretary of State of Nevada. The Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date theCertificate of Amendment to theArticles of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of Nevada. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made approximately twenty (20) days from the date that this Information Statement is sent to our shareholders. The text of theCertificate of Amendment to theArticles of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Nevada Secretary of State to effectuate the Amendment.
No Appraisal Rights for the Amendment
Under Nevada law, the Company’s shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Authorized Common Stock Amendment and the Company will not independently provide shareholders with any such right.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ RECOMMENDATION
AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL
On August 21, 2013, our board of directors voted to authorize and seek approval of our shareholders of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Increase in Common Stock. In the absence of a meeting, the affirmative consent of holders of a majority of the vote represented by our outstanding shares of stock was required to approve the change the name of the Company. Because holders of approximately 89% of our voting power signed a written consent in favor of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, we are authorized to amend the Articles of Incorporation to effect the Increase in Common Stock. The Amendment and the Increase in Common Stock will be effective upon the filing of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, which is expected to occur as soon as reasonably practicable on or after the 20th day following the mailing of this Information Statement to stockholders.
The information contained in this information statement constitutes the only notice we will be providing stockholders.
