INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
COMMON STOCK
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended on December 23, 2010, authorizes
the issuance of 450,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share.
The holders of our common stock:
* have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if
and when declared by our board of directors;
* are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for
distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of our affairs;
* do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there
are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and
* are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on
which stockholders may vote.
NON-CUMULATIVE VOTING
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights,
which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting
for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if
they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not
be able to elect any of our directors. Our current officer and director owns 48%
of our outstanding shares.
ITEM 2. EXHIBITS
The Registrant hereby incorporates its filing pursuant to Form S-1, effective
date December 16, 2008.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of Section l2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
