To the Stockholders of Atomic Guppy, Inc.:

On July 28, 2009, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution to amend and restate our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “Quamtel, Inc.”, and to recapitalize our capital structure by effecting a one-for-ten reverse split of our common stock and an increase the aggregate number of shares that we will have the authority to issue to 250,000,000 post-reverse split shares, of which 200,000,000 shares will be shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares will be shares of preferred stock (the “Amendment”). In addition, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and recommended it to the stockholders for approval.

All of the foregoing matters are described in more detail in the attached Information Statement, and all capitalized terms are defined therein as well.

On or about September 4, 2009, the holder of approximately 86.5% of our common stock will approve the Amendment and the Plan by written consent, which approval will be more than twenty days from the date of the mailing of this Information Statement.

This Information Statement is being sent to you for informational purposes only. We are not asking for a proxy or vote on any of the matters described therein. However, we encourage you to read the Information Statement carefully.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

INFORMATION STATEMENT

AND

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN WITHOUT A MEETING

This Information Statement and Notice of Action Taken Without a Meeting is being furnished by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Atomic Guppy, Inc. (the “Company,” “we”, “our” or “us”) to the holders of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “common stock”) at July 31, 2009 (the “Record Date”) in connection with the following matters:

·

The filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”), in the form attached hereto as Annex A, which will (i) change the name of the Company to Quamtel, Inc., and (ii) recapitalize our capital structure by effecting (a) a one-for-ten reverse split of our common stock, such that one new share of our common stock will be issued for every ten shares of existing common stock, and (b) increase the aggregate number of shares that we will have the authority to issue to 250,000,000 post-reverse split shares, of which 200,000,000 shares will be shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares will be shares of preferred stock.

·

The adoption of the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, in the form attached hereto as Annex B (the “Plan”).

Pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Under federal law these proposals may not be effected until at least twenty (20) days after this Information Statement has first been sent to our stockholders, at which time, we intend to file the Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State.

Our Board will obtain the required approval for the Amendment and the Plan by means of a written consent of stockholders on or about September 1, 2009. A meeting to approve the Amendment and the Plan is therefore unnecessary, and our Board decided to forego the expense of having one.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about August___, 2009, to the holders of our outstanding common stock as of the Record Date.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Each of our executive officers and member(s) of the Board of Directors has an interest in the approval of the Plan because each of them is eligible to receive awards thereunder.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires the Company’s directors, executive officers, and individuals who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such persons are required by applicable regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.

To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on the review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company, all of the Company’s directors, officers and 10% stockholders have complied with the applicable Section 16(a) reporting requirements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

ACTION 1 —APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S NAME AND ITS CAPITAL STRUCTURE BY EFFECTING A REVERSE SPLIT AND INCREASING THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF CAPITAL SHARES

On July 28, 2009, the Company closed a Share Exchange Agreement with WQN, Inc., pursuant to which the shareholders of WQN, Inc contributed 100% of the common stock of WQN, Inc., a Texas corporation, in exchange for 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon such closing, the Company ceased to be a shell corporation and acquired an operating company in the growing telecommunications industry in fulfillment of the Company’s stated business purpose. Details of the acquisition, the company acquired and the changes in the Company’s management are contained in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2009.

The new management of the Company believes that, in order to position the Company for future growth and to enable future sources of financing, certain changes were needed to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. These changes include the following, and reference is made to Annex A for a full copy of the proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

Amendment #1

A change of the Company’s name from Atomic Guppy, Inc. to Quamtel, Inc.;

Amendment #2

A one -for-ten reverse split of the common stock, whereby one new share of our common stock will be issued for every ten shares of existing common stock; and

Amendment #3

An increase the aggregate number of shares which we will have the authority to issue to 250,000,000 post-reverse split shares, of which 200,000,000 shares will be shares of common stock, and 50,000,000 shares will be shares of preferred stock that may be issued in series as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.


AMENDMENT #1—CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

On or about September 4, 2009, one stockholder holding 86.5% of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will execute a written consent in lieu of meeting authorizing our Board of Directors to change the Company’s name from Atomic Guppy, Inc. to Quamtel, Inc.

Purpose of Amendment

As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired WQN, Inc. as an operating company in the telecommunications industry. We desire to create a distinctive name for the parent company and create a new brand recognition in the marketplace. Quamtel, Inc. will function as a holding company for WQN, Inc. and for any other companies it may possibly acquire in the future. We believe the name Quamtel provides a unique identification that will be recognizable as a telecommunications company.

General Effect of Amendment

Changing our name will not affect, in any way, the validity or transferability of currently outstanding stock certificates; however, our stockholders be asked to surrender the stock certificates that they currently hold in exchange for post-reverse split shares bearing our new name. The cost of changing our name will be immaterial. Upon the effectiveness of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, the name change will be effective. Our name under which we trade our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and our trading symbol on such market will also change.

AMENDMENT #2—AUTHORIZATION OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

On or about September 4, 2009, one stockholder holding 86.5% of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will execute a written consent in lieu of meeting authorizing our Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1:10, such that one new share of our common stock will be issued for every ten shares of existing common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

Purpose of the Amendment.

We expect that the decrease in the number of shares of our capital stock issued and outstanding and the resulting increased price level as a consequence of the Reverse Stock Split will encourage greater interest in our capital stock by the financial community and investing public. We also believe the resulting number of shares outstanding will be more in line with the current size of the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that the foregoing effects will occur, that any increase in the market price of our common stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split will occur or be sustained, or that the market price will ever rise to a price approximating ten times the market price prior to the Reverse Stock Split.

General Effect of the Amendment.

The Reverse Stock Split will decrease the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock by ten times. The par value of our authorized capital stock will not change as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, each stock certificate which, prior to effectiveness of the Amendment, represented shares of old capital stock, upon effectiveness of the Amendment, will represent the number of shares of new capital stock into which the shares of old capital stock represented by the certificate will be combined. No fractional shares of our common stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Amendment, own a number of shares of old capital stock which is not evenly divisible by ten, shall, with respect to such fractional interest, be entitled to receive a cash payment in the amount of One Dollar ($1.00) per whole share of new capital stock in lieu of a fractional share of new capital stock.

After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder will own fewer shares of our common stock. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the common stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our common stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. Further, the number of stockholders of record will not be materially affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd-lots” of fewer than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

United States Income Tax Consequences.

The following is a summary of the material anticipated federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to our stockholders. This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Treasury Regulations (“Regulations”) issued pursuant thereto and published rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date of this Information Statement, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not take into account possible changes in these laws or interpretations, some of which may have retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that any such changes will not adversely affect the discussion in this summary.



4



This summary is provided for general information only and does not purport to address all aspects of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split and is not intended as tax advice to any person. In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, this summary does not consider the federal income tax consequences to stockholders in light of their individual investment circumstances or to holders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws (for example, life insurance companies, regulated investment companies and foreign taxpayers). In addition, this summary does not address any consequence of the Reverse Stock Split under any state, local or foreign tax laws. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or opinion of counsel will be obtained regarding the federal income tax consequences to the stockholders of our Company as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, we encourage each stockholder to obtain and rely on advice from his personal tax advisor as to: (i) the effect on his personal tax situation of the Reverse Stock Split, including the application and effect of state, local and foreign income and other tax laws, (ii) the effect of possible changes in judicial or administrative interpretations of existing legislation and Regulations, as well as possible future legislation and Regulations, and (iii) the reporting of information required in connection with the Reverse Stock Split on his own tax return. It will be the responsibility of each stockholder to prepare and file all appropriate federal, state and local tax returns.

In addition, the actual consequences for each stockholder will be governed by the specific facts and circumstances pertaining to the stockholder’s acquisition and ownership of the common stock. However, we believe that because the Reverse Stock Split is not a part of a plan to periodically increase a stockholder’s proportionate interest in the assets or earnings and profits of our company, the Reverse Stock Split will have the federal income tax effects described below.

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will constitute a tax-free recapitalization under the Code and that we should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, stockholders should not recognize any gain or loss. A stockholder who receives a whole share of common stock in lieu of a fractional share, however, may generally recognize income in an amount not to exceed the excess of the fair market value of such whole share over the fair market value of the fractional shares to which the stockholder was otherwise entitled.

We further believe that a stockholder’s aggregate basis of the post-split shares of common stock will equal the aggregate basis in the pre-split shares of common stock owned by that stockholder that are exchanged for the post-split shares of common stock. Generally, the aggregate basis will be allocated among the post-split shares on a pro rata basis. However, if a stockholder has used the specific identification method to identify the basis in pre-split shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split, the stockholder should consult a tax advisor to determine the basis in the post-split shares. The holding period of the post-split common stock received by a stockholder will generally include the stockholder’s holding period for the shares of pre-split common stock with respect to which post-split shares of common stock are issued, provided that the shares of pre-split common stock were held as a capital asset on the date of the exchange.

AMENDMENT #3—AUTHORIZATION OF CAPITAL STOCK

On or about September 4, 2009, one stockholder holding 86.5% of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will execute a written consent in lieu of meeting authorizing our Board of Directors to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares for issuance to 250,000,000 post-Reverse Stock Split shares, of which 200,000,000 shares will be shares of common stock, and 50,000,000 shares will be shares of preferred stock.

Purpose of the Amendment

The purpose of the Amendment is to provide the Company with a more flexible capital structure that may facilitate additional investment in the Company. There are no plans or obligations to issue any shares of preferred stock.

General Effect to the Amendment

The Amendment restores the number of authorized shares of common stock to the number authorized before the Reverse Stock Split, so there will continue to be 200,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding after the Amendment is filed. Because the Reverse Stock Split reduces the number of outstanding shares by 90%, and this Amendment restores the number of authorized shares to 200,000,000, the overall effect is to have available a much larger pool of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. These additional shares of



5



common stock would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as raising additional capital, acquisitions of companies or assets and sales of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock. We believe that the availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise and to take advantage of favorable opportunities. If we issue additional shares for any of these purposes, the ownership interest of our current stockholders would be diluted. Although we continually examine potential acquisitions of companies or assets or other favorable opportunities, there are no current plans or arrangements to issue any additional shares of our common stock for such purposes.

The second effect of the Amendment is to create a new class of preferred stock that may be issued from time to time upon authorization by the Board of Directors of one or more series of preferred shares having the rights and preference determined by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors of the Company will have the authority to divide the authorized preferred stock into series, the shares of each series to have such relative rights and preferences as shall be fixed and determined by the Board of Directors. The provisions of a particular series of authorized preferred stock, as designated by the Board of Directors, may include restrictions on the payment of dividends on common stock. Such provisions may also include restrictions on the ability of the Company to purchase shares of common stock or to purchase or redeem shares of a particular series of authorized preferred stock. Depending upon the voting rights granted to any series of authorized preferred stock, issuance thereof could result in a reduction in the voting power of the holders of common stock. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the preferred stock will receive, in priority over the holders of common stock, a liquidation preference established by the Board of Directors, together with accumulated and unpaid dividends. Depending upon the consideration paid for authorized preferred stock, the liquidation preference of authorized preferred stock and other matters, the issuance of authorized preferred stock could result in a reduction in the assets available for distribution to the holders of common stock in the event of the liquidation of the Company.

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of preferred stock could have a number of effects on the Company’s stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company, even if the persons seeking to obtain control of the Company offer an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent shareholders. 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. The Company does not have any other provisions in its articles or incorporation, bylaws, employment agreements, credit agreements or any other documents that have material anti-takeover consequences. Additionally, the Company has no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements, except as disclosed below, that may have material anti-takeover consequences. The Board 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.

ACTION 2 —APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S 2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

General

On July 28, 2009, the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides that key employees, consultants and non-employee directors of the Company or an affiliate (“eligible participants”) may be granted: (1) options to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, (2) shares of restricted common stock (3) stock appreciation rights, (4) performance-based awards, (5) “Dividend Equivalents,” and (6) other stock-based awards (collectively, “Awards”). The Plan will permit eligible participants to acquire a proprietary interest in the growth and performance of the Company. The purposes of the Plan are to (1) increase the incentive of its participants to contribute to the Company’s success and prosperity, thus enhancing stockholder value, and (2) to provide the Company with a proven means to attract and retain exceptionally qualified individuals upon whom, in large measure, the sustained progress, growth and profitability of the Company depend.



6



The Company is seeking stockholder approval for the future issuance of options under the Plan to allow its participants to acquire up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s post-reverse split common stock.

The Plan is included in this Information Statement as Annex B, and reference is made to Annex B for a full description of the terms of the Plan.

Board Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommended that the majority stockholders vote to approve the Plan, and such approval will be obtained on or about September 4, 2009 to become effective 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

Description of the Plan

The following summary describes the principal provisions of the Plan. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan attached as Annex B to this Information Statement.

The total number of shares of common stock that may be subject to Awards under the Plan will not exceed five million (5,000,000) shares (subject to customary adjustments as provided in the Plan). Such number of shares is subject to adjustment by the committee established to administer the Plan or by the Board of Directors if there are no independent directors (the “Committee”), in the event of a recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend or similar corporate transaction. Such shares may be either authorized or unissued shares or shares held in treasury.

The Plan is generally designed to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, in order to preserve the Company’s ability to take compensation expense deductions in connection with the exercise of options granted and the vesting of performance-based restricted stock under the Plan in certain circumstances. Under Code Section 162(m), a publicly held corporation is not permitted to take a federal income tax deduction for compensation recognized by certain executive officers in any year in excess of $1,000,000, unless such compensation meets the stockholder approval and other requirements of Code Section 162(m).

The Plan is administered by the Committee, which must be comprised of not less than two individuals appointed by the Board of Directors, each of whom is (1) to the extent required by Rule 16b-3 and the Exchange Act, a “non-employee director,” and (2) to the extent required by Code Section 162(m), an “outside director”. Until the Company has independent directors, the whole Board of Directors will make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of the Plan as it deems advisable.

The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan to eligible participants. The Committee has the discretion, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, to determine the terms of the Award, to whom an Award is granted and the number of shares of stock subject to the Award.

Stock Options

An option granted under the Plan may be an incentive stock option (an “ISO”) or may be a non-qualified stock option (a “Non-ISO”), as determined at the time of grant. In certain circumstances, the grant of Non-ISOs, as opposed to ISOs, can result in federal income tax advantages to the Company.

The exercise price for options may not be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant of the options. The Plan provides that optionees may pay the exercise price: (1) in cash, (2) by delivery to the Company of shares of the Company’s common stock owned by the participant, (3) with other securities, (4) with other Awards, (5) with other property, or (6) in any combination of the above, in each case on such other terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Committee (which may include payment in installments or on a deferred basis).

An option granted under the Plan may not be exercised later than the date specified by the Committee, which will be a maximum of 10 years from the date of the grant.



7



Restricted Stock

The Committee may award “restricted” shares of the Company’s common stock and restricted stock units, which are grants of common stock or Awards designated in shares of restricted stock that are subject to risk of forfeiture or other restrictions. Shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units will be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to receive any dividend or other right or property), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate.

Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon termination of employment (as determined under criteria established by the Committee) for any reason during the applicable restriction period, all shares of restricted stock and all restricted stock units still, in either case, subject to restriction, shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Committee is authorized to grant eligible participants stock appreciation rights. A stock appreciation right gives the recipient a right to receive, upon exercise of the stock appreciation right, the excess of (1) the fair market value (as determined by the Committee) of one share of common stock on the date of exercise or, if the Committee determines in the case of any such right other than one related to any ISO, at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise over (2) the grant price of the right, as specified by the Committee. The grant price, term, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any stock appreciation right are determined by the Committee. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any stock appreciation right as it may deem appropriate.

Performance Awards

The Committee is authorized to grant eligible participants performance awards. A performance award granted under the Plan (1) may be denominated or payable in cash, shares of common stock (including, without limitation, restricted stock), other securities, other Awards, or other property and (2) confer on the recipient rights valued as determined by the Committee and payable to, or exercisable by, the recipient, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish. The performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any performance award granted, and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any performance award shall be determined by the Committee. The goals established by the Committee will be based on any one, or combination of, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, total stockholder return, net operating income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, increase in the price of the Company’s common stock, cash flow return on investment, or any other measure the Committee deems appropriate. Partial achievement of the goal(s) may result in a payment or vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement.

Dividend Equivalents

The Committee is authorized to grant Awards under which the recipients are entitled to receive payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to a number of shares of common stock determined by the Committee, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of common stock or otherwise reinvested. Such Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Committee determines.

Other Stock-Based Awards

The Committee is also authorized to grant other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of common stock (including, without limitation, securities convertible into shares of common stock), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee determines the terms and conditions of such Awards.



8



Miscellaneous

Awards granted under the Plan generally are not transferable, except that the Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to certain limitations, permit the transfer of Non-ISOs at the time of grant or thereafter for estate planning purposes. No Awards may be granted under the Plan after May 31, 2018.  

The number of Awards that may be granted under the Plan to executive officers is not determinable at this time.

(e)

NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to remain an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.
