AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
PURPOSE
The Company’s board of directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 490,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as currently in effect, authorizes the Company to issue up to 490,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The board of directors has proposed an increase in the number of authorized shares of the common stock of the Company and a stockholder holding a majority of the outstanding voting power has approved the filing of the Amendment. Upon the filing of the Amendment, the Company will be authorized to issue 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock will remain the same.
While the Company has no specific plans at this time for the issuance of the additional common stock, the Company is party to a number of convertible notes under which the holders may convert all or portions of such notes at prices representing a percentage of the market price of the Company’s common stock. If and when the market price for the Company’s common stock declines, these convertible debt holders may require additional shares to be reserved. In addition, as the market price of the Company’s common stock declines, the convertible note holders will have the right to receive an increasing number of shares of common stock upon conversion of their notes. Additionally, although it has no specific plans to do so, the Company reserves the right to sell common stock to equity investors in order to provide the Company with additional capital for operational and expansion purposes.
The board of directors believes that authorizing this increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
EFFECT
The relative voting and other rights of holders of the common stock will not be altered by the authorization of an increase in shares of common stock. Each share of common stock will continue to entitle its owner to one vote. As a result of the increased authorization, the potential number of shares of common stock outstanding will be increased. Generally, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their ownership percentage in the company if and when additional shares of common stock are issued. Such dilution may negatively affect the value of existing shares of common stock, may affect the amount of any dividends paid to such stockholders if and when dividends are declared, and may reduce the share of the proceeds of the Company that they would receive upon liquidation of the Company.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The Company’s board of directors fixed the close of business on October __, 2014 as the record date of the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of the action by written consent.
As of October 23, 2014, the Company has no class of voting stock outstanding other than the common stock and Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company had 280,807,770 shares of common stock outstanding, and each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. The company had 1,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding, and each share is entitled to 3,000 votes. In addition, Class A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible to shares of our common stock, at the option of the holder, at a rate of one share of common stock for each preferred share held. In any liquidation, holders of our Class A Convertible Preferred Stock will participate, on an as-converted basis, pro-rata with the holders of our common stock. Shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock have no dividend rights. Kendall Smith, a stockholder holding 0 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, representing a total of approximately ninety-one percent (91.44%) of total shareholder voting rights of the securities of the Company, as of the Record Date, has consented to the action required to authorize the Amendment. The total voting power of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, both in total and as exercised by Kendall Smith is as follows:
| Class | Total Issued and Outstanding | Total Voting Power | Held by Kendall Smith | Voting Power Held by Kendall Smith | ||||||||||||
| Common | 280,807,770 | 280,807,770 | 0 | 0 | ||||||||||||
| Class A Convertible Preferred | 1,000,000 | 3,000,000,000 | 1,000,000 | 3,000,000,000 | ||||||||||||
