INFORMATION STATEMENT

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

 

GENERAL

 

Change of Corporate Name

 

This Information Statement is being distributed and made available to all record and beneficial owners of the common stock, $0.001 par value, of Heyu Biological Technology Corporation, a Nevada corporation, which we refer to herein as “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.”  The distribution date of this Information Statement is on or about October 25, 2023.  The Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to notify our stockholders of an action we are taking pursuant to written consents of a majority of our stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders.

 

This Information Statement is being furnished in connection with action taken by stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our Company.  On October 6, 2023, our majority stockholder, Zengqiang Investment Limited, which owns 353,322,843 shares of our common stock, or approximately 68.1% of our total issued and outstanding shares, approved by written consent an amendment to our articles of incorporation to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change our corporate name from “Heyu Biological Technology Corporation” to “Hongchang International Co., Ltd” (the “Charter Amendment”). Our change of corporate name will be subject to and will only take effect after the approval of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).

 

The Charter Amendment was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 6, 2023. The Charter Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on or after November 12, 2023, at least 20 days after the date of distribution of this Information Statement. If the proposed Charter Amendment were not adopted by written consent, it would have been required to be considered by the Company’s stockholders at a special stockholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the Charter Amendment.

 

The elimination of the need for a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Charter Amendment is made possible by Section 78.320(2) of the Nevada Revised Statute (the “NRS”) which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders having at least a majority of the voting power may be substituted for such a special meeting. Pursuant to Section 78.390 of the NRS, a majority of the voting power is required in order to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a stockholder meeting and in order to effect the Charter Amendment as early as possible, the Board of Directors of the Company have determined to utilize the written consent of the holder of a majority of voting power. As discussed hereafter, the Board of Directors has recommended the Charter Amendment. 

 

The record date established by the Company for purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company for the Charter Amendment is October 6, 2023, and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the record date is 518,831,368, with each share having one vote. On the record date, our majority stockholder, Zengqiang Investment Limited, (“Controlling Stockholder”), held 353,322,843 shares of common stock, or approximately 68.1% of the total outstanding shares on the record date.  The written consent to the Charter Amendment by the majority in voting power became effective upon the filing the written consent with the Secretary of the Company. The Company will file the Charter Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State on or after November 12, 2023, at least 20 days after the date of distribution of this Information Statement (“Effective Date”) and will be effective as of such date.  This Information Statement is being distributed and made available to stockholders on or about October 25, 2023.

 

Pursuant to Section 78.320(2) of the NRS, no notice is required to be provided to the other stockholders, who have not consented in writing to such action, regarding the taking of the corporate action without a meeting of stockholders. No additional action will be undertaken pursuant to such written consents, and no dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights under the NRS are afforded to the Company’s stockholders as a result of the adoption of the Charter Amendment.

Change of Trading Symbol

 

The Company common stock is currently traded on the OTC Markets Pink tier under the trading symbol “HYBT.” We have submitted an application to FINRA to amend the trading symbol of the Company from “HYBT” to “HCIL.” Such change will be subject to and will only take effect after the approval of FINRA.

 

Reason for the Name Change

 

On the Effective Date, the Charter Amendment will change our corporate name to Hongchang International Co., Ltd. On September 4, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Hong Chang Global Investment Holdings Limited. As a result, the Company, with approval from its majority stockholder, desires to change its name to be more aligned to the business and branding of its operating subsidiary, Fuqing Hongchang Food Co., Ltd.

 

Effectiveness of the Charter Amendment

 

The Company will file the Charter Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State on or after November 12, 2023, at least 20 days after the date of the distribution of this Information Statement and will be effective as of such date.

 

No Appraisal or Dissenters Rights

 

There is no provision in the Nevada Revised Statutes or in our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, providing our stockholders with dissenters’ rights of appraisal to demand payment in cash for their shares of common stock in connection with the implementation of any of the actions described in this Information Statement. 

 

Required Vote

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required for approval of an amendment of the articles of incorporation under Nevada General Corporation Law. Management has obtained this approval through the written consent of stockholders owning a majority of the voting control of our Company. Thus, a meeting to approve the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation is unnecessary, and management decided to forego the expense of holding a meeting to approve this matter.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK

 

As of the record date of the Charter Amendment, there were 518,831,368 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to stockholders. The common stock carries no pre-emptive, conversion or subscription rights and is not redeemable. On matters submitted to a stockholder vote, a majority vote of stockholders is required to be actionable. Cumulative voting in the election of directors is denied. All shares of common stock are entitled to participate equally in dividends and rank equally upon liquidation. All shares of common stock when issued are fully paid and non-assessable by the Company. There are no restrictions on repurchases of common stock by the Company relating to dividend or sinking fund installment arrearage.
