NOTICE OF CORPORATE ACTIONS TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT

OF MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS WITHOUT SPECIAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

 

Dear Stockholders:

 

We are writing to advise you that, on April 26, 2018, the board of directors of Noble Vici Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NVGI,” “the Company,” “we” or “us”), and certain stockholders holding a majority of the voting rights of our common stock approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting the taking of all steps necessary to effect the following actions (collectively, the “Corporate Actions”):

 

  1. Increase the Company’s authorized capital from 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), to 3,050,000,000 shares, consisting of 3,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Preferred Stock”);
  2. Effect a 1-for-1000 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”);
  3. Elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law;
  4. Change the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31st to March 31st, for all purposes (including tax and financial accounting);
  5. Adopt Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of consolidating the amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation; and
  6. Adopt the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company.

 

Upon implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, each holder of common stock will receive one share of common stock for every one thousand shares of Common Stock held immediately prior to effecting the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will “round up” to the nearest whole number. No cash will be paid to any holders of fractional interests in NVGI.

 

The accompanying information statement, which describes the Corporate Actions in more detail, is being furnished to our stockholders for informational purposes only, pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations prescribed thereunder. The consent that we have received constitutes the only stockholder approval required for the Corporate Actions under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Accordingly, the Corporate Actions will not be submitted to the other stockholders of the Company for a vote.

 

The record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the action by written consent is April 26, 2018. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Corporate Actions will not be implemented until at least twenty (20) calendar days after the mailing of this information statement to our stockholders. This information statement will be mailed on or about May 7, 2018 to stockholders of record on April 26, 2018. As such, we expect that the Corporate Actions will be effective no earlier than May 28, 2018.

 

No action is required by you to effectuate this action. The accompanying information statement is furnished only to inform our stockholders of the action described above before it takes effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF OUR OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE VOTED TO AUTHORIZE THE CORPORATE ACTIONS. THE NUMBER OF VOTES RECEIVED IS SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT AND NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL CONSEQUENTLY BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THIS MATTER.

CORPORATE ACTION NO. 1

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL TO ESTABLISH PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Board and the stockholders of record entitled to vote holding at least a majority of our issued and outstanding voting capital stock (the “Majority Stockholders”) voted to amend the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase its authorized share capital from 3,000,000,000 common shares to 3,050,000,000 shares, consisting of 3,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. We did not increase our authorized Common Stock but authorized the establishment of 50,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock. The proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is included in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

 

 

 

 

 2 
 

 

Reasons For Establishing Undesignated Preferred Stock

 

We believe increasing our authorized capital to establish undesignated preferred stock will enhance our ability to finance the development and operation of our business and facilitate future expansion plans including acquisitions and strategic partnerships and alliances. Potential uses of the additional authorized shares may include, but are not limited to, public or private offerings, conversions of convertible securities, issuance of options pursuant to employee stock option plans, acquisition transactions and other general corporate purposes.  Increasing the authorized number of shares of our common stock will give us greater flexibility and will allow us to issue such shares, in most cases, without the expense or delay of seeking stockholder approval. We are at all times investigating additional sources of financing, business candidates and other opportunities which our Board believes will be in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders. We are also in active discussions regarding the acquisition of certain companies affiliated with Eldee Tang, our Chief Executive Officer, in which we expect to issue large amounts of shares of our capital stock. Except as set forth above, as of the date of this filing, we do not have any definitive plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the newly available authorized securities for any purpose or which may result in a change in control of the Company.

 

Our board of directors will be specifically empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with voting, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could be superior to and adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock. Among other rights, our board of directors may determine, without further vote or action by our stockholders:

 

·the number of shares and the designation of any series of preferred securities;
·whether to pay dividends on such series and, if so, the dividend rate, whether dividends will be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority of payment of dividends on shares of the series;
·whether such series will have voting rights in addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of the voting rights;
·whether such series will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or series of stock and, if so, the terms and conditions of conversion or exchange;
·whether or not the shares of such series will be redeemable and, if so, the dates, terms and conditions of redemption and whether there will be a sinking fund for the redemption of that series and, if so, the terms and amount of the sinking fund; and
·the rights of the shares of such series in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of shares of such series.

 

Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

 

Effect of the Increase in Authorized Capital; Anti-Takeover Implications

 

The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized share capital will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, our Board will have the authority to issue shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock without requiring future stockholder approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or exchange regulations. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock are issued in the future, such issuance will decrease the existing stockholders' percentage equity ownership, dilute the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing stockholders. We are in active discussions regarding the acquisition of certain companies affiliated with Eldee Tang, our Chief Executive Officer, in which we expect to issue large amounts of shares of our capital stock.

 

 

 

 

 3 
 

 

Although the increase in authorized capital is prompted by business and financial considerations, stockholders nevertheless should be aware that an increase in authorized shares may have the effect of delaying or discouraging a challenge for control or make it less likely that such a challenge, if attempted, would be successful, including challenges that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. By way of example, our management could issue additional shares to dilute the stock ownership and the voting power of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company or shares could be issued to purchasers who would support the Board in opposing a takeover proposal.  The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings attributable to, and assets available for distribution to, the holders of our common stock and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock. The Board and executive officers of the Company have no knowledge of any current effort to obtain control of the Company or to accumulate large amounts of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. Except as set forth previously, the Board has no current plans to use any of the additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock that will become available when the increase in authorized capital occurs to deter or prevent a change of control of the Company.

 

Anti-takeover Provisions

 

Some of the provisions of Delaware law, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. Specifically, they could make the following more difficult:

 

·acquisition of us by means of a tender offer;
·acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or
·removal of our incumbent officers and directors.

 

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors.

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits public companies from entering into a business combination (including a merger, sale of assets or transfer of stock) with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless certain conditions apply. An “interested stockholder” is defined as a person or group of persons who beneficially acquire 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. Section 203 does not apply if the corporation’s board of directors preapproves the transaction by which a stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, or if the subsequent business combination with an interested stockholder is authorized at a stockholder meeting by two-thirds of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock (excluding the stock held by the interested stockholder). Further, a stockholder who acquires 85% or more of the voting stock of a corporation (excluding stock held by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans) in the first transaction in which it becomes an interested stockholder is not subject to the three-year waiting period for any subsequent business combination.

 

A Delaware corporation may amend its certificate of incorporation to “opt out” of Section 203’s anti-takeover protection. The amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, in addition to any other vote required by law, and it must be effected before any stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, such amendment will not take effect until twelve months after its adoption.

 

Because we do not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, the restrictions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law do not apply to us. We have determined, however, to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL to facilitate potential future business combinations regardless of whether such business combinations are with interested stockholders. Further, because we did not elect to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL in our original Certificate of Incorporation, our election not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL will take effect on the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), and the twelve month waiting period will not apply to us.

Certain Certificate and Bylaws Provisions

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that:

 

·no action shall be taken by our stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws;
·our stockholders may call special meetings of our stockholders if they hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders;
·our board of directors may designate the terms of, and issue a new series of preferred stock with, voting or other rights without stockholder approval;
·a majority of the authorized number of directors will have the exclusive power to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws without stockholder approval;
·our stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors;
·directors can only be removed for cause by holders of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors; and
·we will indemnify directors and officers against losses that they may incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to us, which may include services in connection with takeover defense measures.

 

These provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person or entity from acquiring control of us.

 

Vote Required

 

Section 242 of the DGCL provides that proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation must first be adopted by the Board and then approved by the Majority Stockholders. On April 26, 2018, our Board and the Majority Stockholders authorized, adopted and approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized capital from 3,000,000,000 shares to 3,050,000,000 shares. April 26, 2018, or the Record Date, was the date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote on the proposed increase to our authorized capital.

 

The amendment to increase our authorized capital will not be effective until the date of effectiveness specified in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (which we expect to be May 28, 2018 or thereafter) (the “Effective Date”).  No further action on the part of stockholders is required to authorize or effect the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation.

 

CORPORATE ACTION NO. 2

APPROVAL TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF

ALL ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

AT A RATIO OF ONE-FOR-ONE THOUSAND

 

On April 26, 2018, our Board and the Majority Stockholders adopted and approved a resolution to effect a one-for-one thousand (1:1000) reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of NVGI.  Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, each holder of common stock will receive one share of common stock for every one thousand shares of common stock held immediately prior to effecting the Reverse Stock Split.  The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of common stock or the par value of NVGI’s common stock.  Except for any changes arising from the treatment of fractional shares, each stockholder of NVGI will hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Reverse Stock Split is implemented in connection with the Company’s plans to attract additional financing and potential business opportunities.   We are in active discussions regarding the acquisition of certain companies affiliated with Eldee Tang, our Chief Executive Officer, in which we expect to issue large amounts of shares of our capital stock. Except as set forth above, there are currently no definitive plans, proposals or arrangements to issue shares of NVGI or which may result in a change in control of NVGI.

 

 

 

 5 
 

 

Under Rule 14c-2, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reverse Stock Split shall be effective twenty (20) days after this Information Statement is mailed to stockholders of NVGI.  No further action on the part of stockholders is required to authorize or effect the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Purpose Of The Reverse Stock Split

 

The Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interest of the stockholders of the Company because it will better position the Company to attract potential financing and business candidates and opportunities.  The Board believes that the reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will provide the Company with additional authorized but unissued shares which could be utilized for future acquisitions or financings or general corporate purposes such as stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalizations and grants of stock options. We are in active discussions regarding the acquisition of certain companies affiliated with Eldee Tang, our Chief Executive Officer, in which we expect to issue large amounts of shares of our capital stock. No assurances can be given that such discussions will result in an acquisition.

 

Potential Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of the outstanding common stock will be reduced. We believe that the decrease in the number of shares of outstanding common stock as a consequence of the proposed Reverse Stock Split should increase the per share price of the common stock, which may encourage greater interest in the common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company's stockholders. However, the increase in the per share price of the common stock as a consequence of the proposed Reverse Stock Split, if any, may be proportionately less than the decrease in the number of shares outstanding, and any increased liquidity due to any increased per share price could be partially or entirely off-set by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the proposed Reverse Stock Split. The effect the Reverse Stock Split upon the market price of the common stock, however, cannot be predicted, and the history of reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances includes cases where stock performance has and has not improved. There can be no assurance that the trading price of the common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split or remain at an increased level for any period. The trading price of the common stock may change due to a variety of other factors, including our operating results, other factors related to our business and general market conditions.

The following table summarizes the approximate effect of the Reverse Stock Split on our authorized and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock.

 

*Approximate

 

Effects on Ownership by Individual Stockholders

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of our common stock held by each stockholder will be reduced by multiplying the number of shares held immediately before the Reverse Stock Split by the 1-for-1000 exchange ratio. All stockholders holding a fractional share will have the fractional share rounded and adjusted to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders owning additional shares as a result of adjustments made to fractional interests.

 

 

 

 6 
 

 

Other Effects on outstanding Shares

 

The rights and preferences of the outstanding shares of the common stock will remain the same when the Reverse Stock Split occurs.  Each share of common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Reduction in Stated Capital

 

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of our common stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our common stock will be reduced in proportion to the size of the Reverse Stock Split, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of NVGI’s common stock will be increased because there will be a lesser number shares of NVGI’s common stock outstanding.  Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged.

 

Potential Dilution

 

The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock as designated by our Certificate of Incorporation. As a result, the number of shares remaining available for issuance under our authorized pool of common stock will increase. Our Board of Directors may authorize, without further stockholder approval, the issuance of such shares of common stock or preferred stock to such persons, for such consideration, and upon such terms as the Board of Directors determines.  Such issuance could result in a significant dilution of the voting rights and the stockholders' equity of the then existing stockholders.


Anti-Takeover Implications and Anti-Takeover Provisions of the DGCL

 

The additional shares of common stock that will become available for issuance as a result of the Reverse Stock Split may be used by our management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. Although the Reverse Stock Split is prompted by business and financial considerations, stockholders nevertheless should be aware that the Reverse Stock Split may facilitate future efforts by our management to deter or prevent a change in control of our company. The Board has no plans to use any of the additional shares of common stock that will become available when the Reverse Stock Split occurs, for any such purposes.

 

Other than as discussed in this information statement, there are no provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws, employment agreements or credit agreements have material anti-takeover consequences.

 

CORPORATE ACTION NO. 3

OPT-OUT OF SECTION 203 OF DGCL

 

On April 26, 2018, the Board and the Majority Stockholders authorized, adopted and approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting to elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Opt Out”).

 

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law generally prohibits certain public companies from entering into a business combination (including a merger, sale of assets or transfer of stock) with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless certain conditions apply. An “interested stockholder” is defined as a person or group of persons who beneficially acquire 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. Section 203 does not apply if the corporation’s board of directors preapproves the transaction by which a stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, or if the subsequent business combination with an interested stockholder is authorized at a stockholder meeting by two-thirds of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock (excluding the stock held by the interested stockholder). Further, a stockholder who acquires 85% or more of the voting stock of a corporation (excluding stock held by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans) in the first transaction in which it becomes an interested stockholder is not subject to the three-year waiting period for any subsequent business combination.

A Delaware corporation may amend its certificate of incorporation to “opt out” of Section 203’s anti-takeover protection. The amendment must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, in addition to any other vote required by law, and it must be effected before any stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, such amendment will not take effect until twelve months after its adoption.

 

Because we do not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, the restrictions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law do not apply to us. However, we have determined to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL to facilitate potential future business combinations regardless of whether such business combinations are with interested stockholders.

 

Because we did not elect to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL in our original Certificate of Incorporation, our election not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL will take effect on the Effective Date, and the twelve month waiting period will not apply to us.

 

CORPORATE ACTION NO. 4

CHANGE IN THE COMPANY’S FISCAL YEAR

 

On April 26, 2018, the Board and the Majority Stockholders authorized, adopted and approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from December 31st to March 31 (the “Change in Fiscal Year”).

 

The Board of Directors of the Company and the Majority Stockholders believe that it is advisable and in the Company’s best interests to authorize and approve the Change in Fiscal Year in order to conform the Company’s reporting practices with the operating practices of the prospective companies that NVGI hopes to acquire.

 

The Change in Fiscal Year will be effective on or about the Effective Date.

 

CORPORATE ACTION NO. 5

ADOPTION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

On April 26, 2018, our Board and the Majority Stockholders authorized, adopted and approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Restated Certificate”).

 

The Restated Certificate consolidates the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and the proposed amendments set forth in this Information Statement. Except as otherwise described in this Information Statement, the adoption and filing of the Restated Certificate will not have any material impact on our stockholders, other than to simplify and consolidate all the current and proposed articles of our Certificate of Incorporation into one document.

 

The Restated Certificate, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit 1, will not be effective until the Effective Date. No further action on the part of stockholders is required to authorize or effect the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation.

CORPORATE ACTION NO. 6

ADOPTION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS

 

On April 26, 2018, the Board and the Majority Stockholders authorized, adopted and approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Restated Bylaws”).

 

The Restated Bylaws contain new provisions that may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of the Company. These provisions are designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board and to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.  Among other things, the Restated Certificate and the Restated Bylaws provide that:

 

  · Our stockholders may not call special meetings of our stockholders unless they hold in excess of 50% of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Stockholders requesting a special meeting to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders must submit a written request to the secretary of the Corporation. Such meeting request must contain all information required pursuant to the Restated Bylaws, be sent to the secretary by registered mail, return receipt requested, and be received by the secretary within 60 days after the record date;

 

  · In any annual meeting of our stockholders, stockholders may not act on any matter not properly brought before the meeting. A matter is considered to have been properly brought before a meeting if the stockholder has given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Corporation and such business is a proper matter for action by the stockholders. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall set forth all information required pursuant to the Restated Bylaws and shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive office of the Corporation not earlier than the 150th day nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely, such notice must be so delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. The public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

 

  ·

Our stockholders may not nominate persons to our Board unless they comply with certain nomination procedures. A stockholder must deliver notice of its intent to nominate persons to be elected to the Board to the secretary of the Company not earlier than the 150th day nor later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days from the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely, such notice must be so delivered not earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. The public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice must include all information required pursuant to the Restated Bylaws, which shall include information regarding (i) the stockholder, (ii) any person acting in concert with such stockholder, (iii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder (other than a stockholder that is a depositary) and (iv) any person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such stockholder or any of the persons described in sections (ii) and (iii) above.

 

 

 

 

 

 9 
 

 

    Such notice shall contain, among other things, a written undertaking certifying that such proposed nominee (a) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Company in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed to the Company.

 

  · Our Board may designate the terms of, and issue a new series of preferred stock with, voting or other rights without stockholders approval;

 

  · Our directors have the power to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws without stockholders approval;

 

  · Our stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors; and

 

  · We will indemnify directors and officers against losses that they may incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to us, which may include services in connection with takeover defense measures.

 

In addition to the above-described changes, the following is a description of certain other changes between the original Bylaws and the Restated Bylaws, none of which, we believe, will have a material impact on the Company’s stockholders:

 

  ·

Under the original Bylaws, the procedure for determining the record date is governed by Nevada law which provides that a record date for an annual meeting of stockholders is not required to be set in advance by the Board and may be as late as the close of business on the day before the day on which the first notice of the annual meeting is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the meeting is held.  Under the Restated Bylaws, the record date must be not more than fifty (50) days or less than ten (10) days from the date of the particular action.  If no record date is fixed, the date of which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing such action is adopted shall serve as the record date.

 

  · Under the original Bylaws, the procedure for determining the expiration date of proxies signed by stockholders is governed by Delaware law, which provides that proxies expire three (3) years from its date unless a longer period is otherwise provided for in such proxy. Under the Restated Bylaws proxies signed by stockholders are only valid for 11 months unless a longer period is provided for in the proxy.

 

  · Under the original Bylaws, a special meeting of the directors may be called by the President, Secretary, Chairman of the Board or two directors on one (1) day notice if delivered personally or by mail or on two (2) days notice if delivered by telegram, telefax, telecopier or telephone. Under the Restated Bylaws, special meeting of the directors may be called by or at the request of the Chief Executive Officer, any two directors or the Chairman of the Board.

 

The Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit 2, will be effective on or about the Effective Date.

 

STOCK CERTIFICATES

 

As of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each certificate representing shares of our common stock before the Reverse Stock Split will be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of our common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. All shares, underlying options and warrants and other securities will also be automatically adjusted on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, if any such securities are outstanding on the effective date. In order to avoid the expense and inconvenience of issuing and transferring fractional shares of common stock to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of common stock following the Reverse Split, any fractional shares which result from the Reverse Stock Split will be adjusted so that such stockholders will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such fractional share, one full share of common stock.

If you hold your shares of common stock in a brokerage account or in "street name," you will not be required to take any further action. If you hold stock certificates, you will not have to exchange your existing stock certificates for new stock certificates reflecting the Reverse Stock Split, except that holders of unexchanged shares will not be entitled to receive any dividends, if any, or other distributions payable by us after the Reverse Stock Split until they surrender their old stock certificates for exchange.  Any stockholder desiring a new form of stock certificate may submit the existing stock certificate to our transfer agent for cancellation, and obtain a new form of certificate. The transfer agent may impose a reasonable fee for a voluntary exchange of certificates. Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate.

 

Contact information for our transfer agent is as follows:

 

Nevada Agency and Transfer Company.

50 West Liberty Street, Suite 880

Reno, NV 89501

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

The following discussion is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to us and stockholders of our common stock. It does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split and is included for general information only. This discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This discussion only applies to stockholders that are U.S. persons as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a stockholder in light of his particular circumstances or to stockholders subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign individuals and entities, and persons who acquired their common stock as compensation).  In addition, this summary is limited to stockholders that hold their common stock as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction or alternative minimum tax consequences. The tax treatment of each stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder.

 

We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. We believe, however, that because the Reverse Stock Split is not part of a plan to periodically increase or decrease any stockholder’s proportionate interest in the assets or earnings and profits of our company, the Reverse Stock Split should have the federal income tax effects described below:

 

  · The exchange of pre-split shares for post-split shares should not result in recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
  · The stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the post-split shares would equal that stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-split shares.
  · The stockholder’s holding period for the post-split shares will include such stockholder’s holding period for the pre-split shares.
  · Provided that a stockholder held the pre-split shares as a capital asset, the post-split shares received in exchange therefor would also be held as a capital asset.

 

We believe that our Company should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.  Our view regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts.  We urge all stockholders to consult their own tax advisers to determine the particular federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to each of them of the Reverse Stock Split.

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, STOCKHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY STOCKHOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON STOCKHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED HEREIN BY THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) BY THE COMPANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

The Record Date Request Notice shall set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it, shall be signed by one or more stockholders of record as of the date of signature (or their agents duly authorized in a writing accompanying the Record Date Request Notice), shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) and shall set forth all information relating to each such stockholder and each matter proposed to be acted on at the meeting that would be required to be disclosed in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or would otherwise be required in connection with such a solicitation, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”). Upon receiving the Record Date Request Notice, the Board of Directors may fix a Request Record Date. The Request Record Date shall not precede and shall not be more than ten days after the close of business on the date on which the resolution fixing the Request Record Date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors, within ten days after the date on which a valid Record Date Request Notice is received, fails to adopt a resolution fixing the Request Record Date, the Request Record Date shall be the close of business on the tenth day after the first date on which a Record Date Request Notice is received by the secretary.

(2)      In order for any stockholder to request a special meeting to act on any matter that may properly be considered at a meeting of stockholders, one or more written requests for a special meeting (collectively, the “Special Meeting Request”) signed by stockholders of record (or their agents duly authorized in a writing accompanying the request) as of the Request Record Date entitled to cast not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting (the “Special Meeting Percentage”) shall be delivered to the secretary. In addition, the Special Meeting Request shall (a) set forth the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at it (which shall be limited to those lawful matters set forth in the Record Date Request Notice received by the secretary), (b) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or such agent) signing the Special Meeting Request, (c) set forth (i) the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each stockholder signing such request (or on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is signed), (ii) the class, series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned by each such stockholder (beneficially or of record), and (iii) the nominee holder for, and number of, shares of stock of the Corporation owned by such stockholder beneficially but not of record, (d) be sent to the secretary by registered mail, return receipt requested, and (e) be received by the secretary within 60 days after the Request Record Date. Any requesting stockholder (or agent duly authorized in a writing accompanying the revocation of the Special Meeting Request) may revoke his, her or its request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to the secretary.

 

(3)      The secretary shall inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing or delivering the notice of the meeting (including the Corporation’s proxy materials). The secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting upon stockholder request and such meeting shall not be held unless, in addition to the documents required by paragraph (2) of this Section 3(b), the secretary receives payment of such reasonably estimated cost prior to the preparation and mailing or delivery of such notice of the meeting.

 

(4)      In the case of any special meeting called by the secretary upon the request of stockholders (a “Stockholder-Requested Meeting”), such meeting shall be held at such place, date and time as may be designated by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that the date of any Stockholder-Requested Meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the record date for such meeting (the “Meeting Record Date”); and provided further that if the Board of Directors fails to designate, within ten days after the date that a valid Special Meeting Request is actually received by the secretary (the “Delivery Date”), a date and time for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, then such meeting shall be held at 2:00 p.m. local time on the 90th day after the Meeting Record Date or, if such 90th day is not a Business Day (as defined below), on the first preceding Business Day; and provided further that in the event that the Board of Directors fails to designate a place for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting within ten days after the Delivery Date, then such meeting shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation. In fixing a date for a Stockholder-Requested Meeting, the Board of Directors may consider such factors as it deems relevant, including, without limitation, the nature of the matters to be considered, the facts and circumstances surrounding any request for the meeting and any plan of the Board of Directors to call an annual meeting or a special meeting. In the case of any Stockholder-Requested Meeting, if the Board of Directors fails to fix a Meeting Record Date that is a date within 30 days after the Delivery Date, then the close of business on the 30th day after the Delivery Date shall be the Meeting Record Date. The Board of Directors may revoke the notice for any Stockholder-Requested Meeting in the event that the requesting stockholders fail to comply with the provisions of paragraph (3) of this Section 3(b).

 

(5)      If written revocations of the Special Meeting Request have been delivered to the secretary and the result is that stockholders of record (or their agents duly authorized in writing), as of the Request Record Date, entitled to cast less than the Special Meeting Percentage have delivered, and not revoked, requests for a special meeting on the matter to the secretary: (i) if the notice of meeting has not already been delivered, the secretary shall refrain from delivering the notice of the meeting and send to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked such requests written notice of any revocation of a request for a special meeting on the matter, or (ii) if the notice of meeting has been delivered and if the secretary first sends to all requesting stockholders who have not revoked requests for a special meeting on the matter written notice of any revocation of a request for the special meeting and written notice of the Corporation’s intention to revoke the notice of the meeting or for the chairman of the meeting to adjourn the meeting without action on the matter, (A) the secretary may revoke the notice of the meeting at any time before ten days before the commencement of the meeting or (B) the chairman of the meeting may call the meeting to order and adjourn the meeting from time to time without acting on the matter. Any request for a special meeting received after a revocation by the secretary of a notice of a meeting shall be considered a request for a new special meeting.

 

 

 

 Exhibit 2-2 

 

 

(6)    The chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or Board of Directors may appoint regionally or nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections to act as the agent of the Corporation for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of any purported Special Meeting Request received by the secretary. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no such purported Special Meeting Request shall be deemed to have been received by the secretary until the earlier of (i) five Business Days after actual receipt by the secretary of such purported request and (ii) such date as the independent inspectors certify to the Corporation that the valid requests received by the secretary represent, as of the Request Record Date, stockholders of record entitled to cast not less than the Special Meeting Percentage. Nothing contained in this paragraph (6) shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Corporation or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any request, whether during or after such five Business Day period, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).

 

(7)    For purposes of these Bylaws, “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of California or New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

 

Section 4. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual or for any special meeting of stockholders, or if no designation is made the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation designated in Article I, Section 1.

 

Section 5. Notice of Meeting. Written or printed notice stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the president, or the secretary, or the officer of persons calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his address at it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

 

Section 6. Closing of Transfer Books and Fixing Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for stated period but not to exceed, in any case, fifty days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be not more than fifty days and, in case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of stockholders, is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholder entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or of stockholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such action is authorized or adopted, as case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of stockholders. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof.

 

Section 7. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation, shall make, at least ten days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of, and the number of shares held by each, which list, for a period of ten days prior to the meeting, shall be kept on file at the registered office of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall be prima facie evidence as to who are stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Failure to comply with the requirements of this Section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.

 

Section 8. Quorum of Stockholders. A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or any proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

 

 

 

 Exhibit 2-3 

 

 

Section 9. Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

 

Section 10. Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share entitled to vote (common share) shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 11. Voting of Certain Shares. Neither treasury shares nor shares held by another corporation if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation is held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without transfer thereof into his name if authority so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the Court by which such receiver was appointed. A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledge, and thereafter the pledge shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred. On or after the date on which written notice of redemption of redeemable shares has been mailed to the holders thereof and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with a bank or trust company with irrevocable instruction and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders thereof upon surrender of certificates therefor, such shares shall not be entitled to vote on any matter and shall not be deemed to be outstanding shares. Shares of its own stock held by the Corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting, and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

 

Section 12. Noncumulative Voting. At each election of directors every stockholder entitled to vote at such election shall have the right to vote, in person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election he has a right to vote. No stockholder may cast more than one vote for any one nominee for director. A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a director.

 

Section 13. Voting Trust. Any number of stockholders of the Corporation may create a voting trust for the purpose of conferring upon a trustee or trustees the right to vote or otherwise represent their shares, for a period of not to exceed ten years, by entering into a written voting trust agreement specifying the terms and conditions of the voting trust, by depositing a counterpart of the agreement with the Corporation at its registered office, and by transferring their shares to such trustee or trustees for the purpose of the agreement. The counterpart of the voting trust agreement so deposited with the Corporation shall be subject to the same right of examination by a stockholder of the Corporation, in person or by agent or attorney, as are the books and records of the Corporation, and shall be subject to examination by any holder of a beneficial interest in the voting trust, either in person or by agent or attorney, at a reasonable time for any proper purpose.

 

Section 14. Informal Action by Stockholders. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

(6)      For purposes of this Section 15, “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person acting in concert with such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder (other than a stockholder that is a depositary) and (iii) any person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such stockholder or such Stockholder Associated Person.

 

(b)      Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting.

(c)      General. (1) If information submitted pursuant to this Section 15 by any stockholder proposing a nominee for election as a director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders shall be inaccurate in any material respect, such information may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 15. Any such stockholder shall notify the Corporation of any inaccuracy or change (within two Business Days of becoming aware of such inaccuracy or change) in any such information. Upon written request by the secretary or the Board of Directors, any such stockholder shall provide, within five Business Days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), (A) written verification, satisfactory, in the discretion of the Board of Directors or any authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 15, and (B) a written update of any information (including, if requested by the Corporation, written confirmation by such stockholder that it continues to intend to bring such nomination or other business proposal before the meeting) submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 15 as of an earlier date. If a stockholder fails to provide such written verification or written update within such period, the information as to which written verification or a written update was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 15.

 

(2)    Only such individuals who are nominated in accordance with this Section 15 shall be eligible for election by stockholders as directors, and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 15. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 15.

 

(3)    For purposes of this Section 15, “the date of the proxy statement” shall have the same meaning as “the date of the company’s proxy statement released to stockholders” as used in Rule 14a-8(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. “Public announcement” shall mean disclosure (i) in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, Business Wire, PR Newswire or other widely circulated news or wire service or (ii) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

 

(4)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 15. Nothing in this Section 15 shall be deemed to affect any right of a stockholder to request inclusion of a proposal in, or the right of the Corporation to omit a proposal from, any proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act. Nothing in this Section 15 shall require disclosure of revocable proxies received by the stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person pursuant to a solicitation of proxies after the filing of an effective Schedule 14A by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

(5)    Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, except as otherwise determined by the chairman of the meeting, if the stockholder giving notice as provided for in this Section 15 does not appear in person or by proxy at such annual or special meeting to present each nominee for election as a director or the proposed business, as applicable, such matter shall not be considered at the meeting.
