NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN PURSUANT TO THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS HOLDING A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON SHARES OF ATACAMA RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL, INC. IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS,

DATED SEPTEMBER 20, 2017

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, on August 28, 2017, Atacama Resources International, Inc., a Florida corporation, obtained the unanimous written consent of its board of directors and the written consent of stockholders holding 124,498,922 common shares of Atacama or 58.17% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Atacama’s common stock approving:

effectuate an increase of the authorized common shares from 500,000,000 par value $0.0001 to 1,000,000,000 par value $0.0001.

designate 10 shares of Series A Preferred Shares, par value $0.0001.

designate 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Shares, par value $0.0001.

OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

As of August 28, 2017 (the “Record Date”), Atacama’s authorized capitalization consisted of 500,000,000 common shares, of which 214,013,535common shares were issued and outstanding.

Each common share of Atacama entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to Atacama’s stockholders. However, because the Majority Stockholders have consented to the foregoing actions by resolution dated August 28, 2017, in lieu of a special meeting in accordance with the FBCA and because the Majority Stockholders have sufficient voting power to approve such actions through his ownership of common stock, no other stockholder vote will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.

AMENDMENT TO ATACAMA’S

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The Board of Directors and Majority Stockholders have approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to affect an increase in the authorized common stock and the authorization of preferred shares.

Page 5

The amendment was filed with the State of Florida on August 28, 2017. We failed to file an Information Statement in advance of this action, and recognize that we are subject to increased liability under the Exchange Act. However, the amendment was filed pursuant to the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares and the unanimous approval by the Board of Directors and in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

The Authorized Common Stock Increase

The purpose of the increase in common stock is to increase the number of common shares available for issuance to investors who agree to provide Atacama with the funding it requires to continue its operations, and/or to persons in connection with potential acquisition transactions, warrant or option exercises and other transactions under which our Board of Directors may determine is in the best interest of Atacama and our stockholder to issue shares of common stock.

The increase in authorized common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders, but may have a dilutive effect our existing stockholders if additional shares are issued.

We are not increasing our authorized common stock to construct or enable any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on behalf of Atacama. It is possible that management could use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders. For example, shares of the authorized by unissued common stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that would discourage persons from attempting to gain control of the Company, by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with the Company’s management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove the Company’s current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. Each of these, together with other anti-takeover provisions provided by Florida law, could potentially limit the opportunity for the Company’s stockholders to dispose of their stock at a premium. We do not have any anti-takeover provisions present in our governing documents.

The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device or to secure management’s positions within the Company. In addition, there are no plans or proposals to adopt any anti-takeover provisions or to enter into any other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

The increase in our common shares is not in any way related to any plans or intentions to enter into a merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business transaction.

Authorization of Series A Preferred Shares

The Articles of Incorporation was amended to include the following language:

DESIGNATION. This class of stock of this Corporation shall be named and designated “Series A Preferred Stock”. It shall have 10 shares authorized at $0.0001par value per share.

CONVERSION RIGHTS. There shall be no conversion rights associated with this class of stock.

ISSUANCE. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock may only be issued in exchange for the full controlling interest held by Management or its designee.

VOTING RIGHTS.

a. If at least one share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, then the total aggregate issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any given time, regardless of their number, shall have voting rights equal to four times the sum of: i) the total number of shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting, plus ii) the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stocks which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting.

b. Each individual share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the voting rights equal to:

[four times the sum of: {all shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at time of voting + all shares of Series B Preferred Stocks issued and outstanding at time of voting}]

divided by:

[the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the time of voting]

The approval of the authorized by unissued ten Series A preferred shares was given in order to create and maintain a controlling interest in the company outside of common ownership. In the event any preferred shares are issued in the future, shareholders may suffer dilution to their ownership of Atacama at the time of the issuance of the preferred shares. No additional corporate action is needed to issue any preferred shares. Atacama may even issue preferred shares as a defensive mechanism in order to attempt to stop a hostile take over by another company; there is no plan to do this at this time.

Page 7

As a general matter, the authorization of preferred shares, and the issuance thereof, could deter potential acquirers (hostile or otherwise) from initiating tender offers, proxy contests or other attempts to obtain control of or to acquire a company, or delay or prevent a change in control. For example:

preferred shares could be issued to increase the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote on a change in control, thereby increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control or to otherwise obtain control of a company;

preferred shares (with significant voting, conversion or other rights, preferences or privileges) could be issued to a friendly investor, which could make it difficult for the potential acquirer to replace the board of directors or gain voting control of a company; and

preferred shares (with a significant liquidation preference) could be issued to make a change in control more expensive for the potential acquirer.

Our authorization of preferred shares is not in response to efforts by any party to acquire or gain control of our company and the Board is not currently aware of any such efforts.

To the extent that the amendment may have anti-takeover effects, the amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire our company to negotiate directly with the Board, enabling the Board to consider the transaction in a manner that best serves the interests of our stockholders.

Authorization of Series B Preferred Shares

The Articles of Incorporation was amended to include the following language:

DESIGNATION. This class of stock of this Corporation shall be named and designated “Series B Preferred Stock”. It shall have 1,000,000 shares authorized at $0.0001par value per share.

DIVIDENDS. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.

LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation an amount equal to $1.00 per share or, in the event of an aggregate subscription by a single subscriber for Series B Preferred Stock in excess of $100,000, $0.997 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares) (the “Preference Value”),

Page 8

plus all declared but unpaid dividends, for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held by them. After the payment of the full applicable Preference Value of each share of the Series B Preferred Stock as set forth herein, the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock.

CONVERSION AND ANTI-DILUTION.

(a) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time, and/or from time to time, into the number of shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001per share, equal to the price of the Series B Preferred Stock, divided by the par value of the Common Stock, subject to adjustment as may be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time (the “Conversion Rate”). For example, assuming a $2.50 price per share of Series B Preferred Stock, and a par value of $0.0001per share for Common Stock, each share of Series B Preferred Stock would be convertible into 250,000 shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to be effective on the business day (the “Conversion Date”) following the receipt by the Corporation of written notice from the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock of the holder’s intention to convert the shares of Series B Stock, together with the holder’s stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Series B Preferred Stock to be converted.

(b) Promptly after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable to the holder pursuant to the holder’s conversion of Series B Preferred Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The stock certificate(s) evidencing the Common Stock shall be issued with a restrictive legend indicating that it was issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that it cannot be transferred unless it is so registered, or an exemption from registration is available, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation. The Common Stock shall be issued in the same name as the person who is the holder of the Series B Preferred Stock unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Corporation, such transfer can be made in compliance with applicable securities laws. The person in whose name the certificate(s) of Common Stock are so registered shall be treated as a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation on the date the Common Stock certificate(s) are so issued.

All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares as provided herein shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. Effective as of the Conversion Date, such converted Series B Preferred Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holder with respect to such shares shall immediately terminate except the right to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

Page 9

(c) The Corporation covenants that, within 30 days of receipt of a conversion notice from any holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock wherein which such conversion would create more shares of Common Stock than are authorized, the Corporation will increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to satisfy such holder of shares of Series B submitting such conversion notice.

(d) Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are anti-dilutive to reverse splits, and therefore in the case of a reverse split, are convertible to the number of Common Shares after the reverse split as would have been equal to the ratio established prior to the reverse split. The conversion rate of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, however, would increase proportionately in the case of forward splits, and may not be diluted by a reverse split following a forward split.

VOTING RIGHTS. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have ten votes for any election or other vote placed before the shareholders of the Corporation.

PRICE.

(a) The initial price of each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be $2.50.

(b) The price of each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be changed either through a majority vote of the Board of Directors through a resolution at a meeting of the Board, or through a resolution passed at an Action Without Meeting of the unanimous Board, until such time as a listed secondary and/or listed public market develops for the shares.

LOCK-UP RESTRICTIONS ON CONVERSION. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock may not be converted into shares of Common Stock for a period of: a) six (6) months after purchase, if the Company voluntarily or involuntarily files public reports pursuant to Section 12 or 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or b) twelve (12) months if the Company does not file such public reports.

Page 10

preferred shares (with a significant liquidation preference) could be issued to make a change in control more expensive for the potential acquirer.

Our authorization of preferred shares is not in response to efforts by any party to acquire or gain control of our company and the Board is not currently aware of any such efforts.
