NOTICE OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN WITHOUT A MEETING
 
Dear Stockholders of Zoo Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”):
 
The purpose of this letter and the enclosed Information Statement is to inform you that stockholders of the Company holding a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock have executed written consents in lieu of a meeting to:

1. Approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) from 250,000,000 shares to 3,500,000,000 shares (the “Share Increase”); and

2.  Approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio of 1 for 600 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
 
On January 13, 2010, our board of directors and stockholders holding approximately 66.7% of our outstanding voting capital stock executed written consents approving the Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split. The consents we have received constitute the only stockholder approval required for the Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and our existing Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, stockholder approval of these amendments will become effective on or after such date that is approximately 20 calendar days following the date we first mailed the Information Statement to our stockholders.  After such date, the board of directors may implement the Share Increase at any time, and may implement the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to January 13, 2011, by filing, in each case, a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  The board of directors intends to effectuate the Share Increase as soon as practicable following February [●], 2010.  The board of directors may determine not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split pursuant to Section 242(c) of the DGCL.
 
We are furnishing the Information Statement to you solely to inform you of the approval of the Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split by holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting capital stock. Section 228 of the DGCL requires that we notify you of these approvals because they were obtained by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting. This letter and the Information Statement are intended to provide such notice. No action is required by you.
 
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(C)
OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

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

This Information Statement (the “Information Statement”) is being mailed on or about January [●], 2010 to the stockholders of record of Zoo Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as of the close of business on January 19, 2010 (the “Record Date”).  This Information Statement is being furnished to you for information purposes only, to inform you that holders of shares representing a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock have adopted, by written consent, resolutions authorizing us to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) from 250,000,000 shares to 3,500,000,000 shares (the “Share Increase”) and (ii) effect a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio of 1 for 600 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

Board of Directors and Consenting Stockholders

On January 13, 2010, our board of directors (the “Board”) unanimously adopted resolutions authorizing (i) an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 250,000,000 shares to 3,500,000,000 shares, (ii) a reverse stock split of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, at a ratio of 1 for 600 and (iii) the corresponding amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split.

Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that the written consent of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for a meeting.  In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to effect the above actions as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes hereafter described, the Board elected to seek the written consent of the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of voting capital stock, in order to reduce the costs and implement the Share Increase and the Reverse Stock Split in a timely manner.
 
As of the Record Date, there were (i) [39,425,755] shares of Common Stock issued and [31,624,429] shares of Common Stock outstanding, (ii)  1,389,684 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding and (iii) 1,188,439 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding.   The issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock constitute the only voting securities of the Company, and each stockholder is entitled to cast one vote for each share held by such stockholder. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, entitles its holder to the number of votes that the Common Stock into which it is convertible would have if such Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, had been so converted into Common Stock. On January 13, 2010, the following stockholders, who collectively own 66.7% of our Common Stock on an as converted basis, consented in writing to the Share Increase and Reverse Stock Split (the “Consenting Stockholders”):

Within twelve months of the date of the written consent of the Consenting Stockholders, the Board may implement the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1 for 600, by filing a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The actions described in this Information Statement have been consented to by the Consenting Stockholders. Accordingly, the written consent executed by the Consenting Stockholders pursuant to Section 228(a) of the DGCL and delivered to the Company is sufficient to approve the Share Increase, the Reverse Stock Split and the corresponding amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, and no further stockholder vote or other action is required.

Pursuant to Section 228(c) of the DGCL, we are required to provide prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action. This Information Statement is intended to provide such notice.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company.  We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the voting capital stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

AMENDMENT TO THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION- INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF
COMMON STOCK
 
As of the Record Date: (i) the Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), (ii) [39,425,755] shares of Common Stock are issued, of which [31,624,429] shares of Common Stock are outstanding, (iii) 1,389,684 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding and (iv) 1,188,439 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.  In addition, as of the Record Date the Company has reserved up to approximately 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as amended.
 
The Board and the Consenting Stockholders approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 250,000,000 shares to 3,500,000,000 shares.  The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will not result in an increase in the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock.

We will file an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, substantially in the form attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A (the “Share Increase Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as soon as practicable following 20 calendar days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders, and the Share Increase will become effective as of the date indicated in the Share Increase Amendment upon filing.

Purpose and Effects of Increasing the Authorized Shares of Common Stock

The principal purpose of increasing our authorized Common Stock is to ensure that the Company has sufficient shares of Common Stock available for general corporate purposes including, without limitation, conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock, exercise of common stock purchase warrants, equity financings, acquisitions, establishing strategic relationships with corporate partners, providing equity incentives to employees and payments of stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalizations.   Without an increase in the shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance, the Company might not be able to conclude any such transaction in a timely fashion.

The Company will use newly available authorized shares of Common Stock that will become available by virtue of the Share Increase for a variety of purposes in the Board’s discretion, including the issuance of 1,389,684,000 shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of 1,389,684 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and the issuance of 1,188,439,000 shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of 1,188,439 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Upon the effectiveness of the filing of the Share Increase Amendment, and the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, there will be approximately 2,609,747,429 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.  The Company also currently anticipates issuing approximately 617,981,731 shares of the newly available authorized shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants.  In addition, we continue to explore possible acquisition transactions, some of which could involve the issuance of additional shares from time to time and/or the incurring of additional indebtedness in order to consummate such transactions. Finally, the Company may issue additional shares from time to time to its consultants or employees as compensation for services performed for the Company, and in connection with the issuance of shares underlying existing options, convertible notes or warrants.

 
5

 

To the extent that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, such issuance may decrease our existing stockholders' percentage equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to our existing stockholders. The holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional securities that may be issued by the Company, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of capital stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of Common Stock. In addition, if the Board elects to cause the Company to issue additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the voting power and earnings per share of existing stockholders.  The increase in our authorized capital will not have any immediate effect on the rights of our existing stockholders.

The increase in the number of authorized shares and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the intent of the Board in proposing the Share Increase Amendment. For example, if the Board issues additional shares in the future, such issuance could dilute the voting power of a person seeking control of the Company, thereby deterring or rendering more difficult a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or an extraordinary transaction opposed by the Board.  Any such issuance of additional stock could have the effect of diluting our earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of our Common Stock or the stock ownership and voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under the Share Increase Amendment.

The Company does not have any other provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, employment 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 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.

AMENDMENT TO THE
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
 
As of the Record Date: (i) the Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, (ii) [39,425,755] shares of Common Stock are issued, of which [31,624,429] shares of Common Stock are outstanding, (iii) 1,389,684 shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding and (iv) 1,188,439 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.  In addition, as of the Record Date the Company has reserved up to approximately 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan, as amended.
 
The Board and the Consenting Stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to reverse split the outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of 1 for 600.

 
6

 

In determining whether to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, if any, the Board will consider a number of factors, including additional funding requirements, the amount of our authorized but unissued Common Stock, market conditions and existing and expected trading prices of our Common Stock.  If the Board determines to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, we will file an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, substantially in the form attached to this Information Statement as Appendix B (the “Reverse Stock Split Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, at any time following 20 calendar days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders, but prior to January 13, 2011, and the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of the date indicated in the Reverse Stock Split Amendment upon filing (the “Effective Date”). Upon the filing of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, and as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 600 shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding will automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, become one share of Common Stock.  If the Board determines not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the Board may abandon the Reverse Stock Split Amendment pursuant to Section 242(c) of the DGCL.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Following the effectiveness of the filing of the Share Increase Amendment, and upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, there will be approximately 2,609,747,429 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 7,801,326 shares of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares. Upon the filing of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment, and as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock and treasury share of Common Stock will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio of 1 for 600, such that there will be approximately 4,349,579 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and approximately 13,002 shares of Common Stock held by the Company as treasury shares. The other principal effects of the Reverse Stock Split will be that:

·
the per share exercise price of all outstanding stock option awards will be increased proportionately by multiplying such exercise price by a factor equal to the split ratio, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding option awards and the vesting or payment date of all stock units (including restricted stock units and deferred stock units) will be reduced proportionately by dividing such number by a factor equal to the split ratio. These adjustments will result in approximately the same aggregate exercise price being required to be paid upon exercise of outstanding option awards, although the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such option awards will be reduced proportionately following the Reverse Stock Split;

·
the number of shares reserved for issuance and any maximum number of shares with respect to which equity awards may be granted to any participant under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio; 

·
the per share exercise price of all outstanding warrants (except for the warrants held by Socius Capital Group, LLC and Focus Capital Partners, LLC) will be increased proportionately by multiplying such exercise price by a factor equal to the split ratio, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding warrants will be reduced proportionately by dividing such number by a factor equal to the split ratio.  These adjustments will result in approximately the same aggregate exercise price being required to be paid upon exercise of outstanding warrants, although the aggregate number of shares issuable upon the exercise of such warrants will be reduced proportionately following the Reverse Stock Split.  The per share exercise price of the warrants held by Socius Capital Group, LLC and Focus Capital Partners, LLC shall remain at $0.01, although the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants will be proportionately reduced, and as a result, the aggregate exercise price being required to be paid upon exercise of such warrants will decrease; and

 
7

 

·
the number of stockholders who own odd lots (fewer than 100 shares) will likely increase. Stockholders who hold odd lots may experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and may have greater difficulty in executing sales.

The Reverse Stock Split will have no effect on the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock. Additionally, the par value of each share of Common Stock will remain at $0.001 per share.  The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the voting or other rights of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and will not result in any change in the Company’s business, management, assets, liabilities or net worth.

Subject to the provisions for the elimination of fractional shares, as described below, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all of the Company’s stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests or proportionate voting power. Except with respect to the number of shares issued and outstanding, the rights and preferences of the shares of Common Stock prior and subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split will remain the same. It is not anticipated that the Company’s financial condition, the percentage ownership of management, the number of stockholders or any aspect of the Company’s business would materially change, solely as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
 
The Company will obtain a new CUSIP number for the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock.  The Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the same ticker symbol after the Reverse Stock Split, although it will be considered a new listing with a new CUSIP number.

Although the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will decrease following the proposed Reverse Stock Split, the Board does not intend for the Reverse Stock Split to be the first step in a going private transaction within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  In addition, the Company may use newly available authorized shares of Common Stock that will become available by virtue of the Reverse Stock Split for a variety of purposes in the Board’s discretion, including possible acquisitions, conversion of outstanding debt or financing activities, although no documentation has been executed with respect to such purposes.

Accounting Consequences
 
The par value of each share of Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, on the Effective Date, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to Common Stock will be reduced from the current amount in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The Company’s stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged. The shares of Common Stock held in treasury will also be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio. After the Reverse Stock Split, net income or loss per share, and other per share amounts will be increased proportionately because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding. In future financial statements, net income or loss per share and other per share amounts for periods ending before the Reverse Stock Split would be recast to give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

 
8

 

Dividends
 
The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Board will continue to determine whether to pay dividends based on conditions then existing, including the Company’s earnings, financial condition and capital requirements, as well as economic and other conditions the Board may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to declare and pay dividends on our Common Stock is subject to requirements under the DGCL and covenants in our existing debt instruments.
 
Effect on Registered and Beneficial Stockholders
 
Upon completion of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat stockholders holding shares of Common Stock in “street name” (that is, held through a bank, broker or other nominee) in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares of Common Stock are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding shares of Common Stock in “street name;” however, these banks, brokers or other nominees may apply their own specific procedures for processing the Reverse Stock Split. If you hold your shares of Common Stock with a bank, broker or other nominee, and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your nominee.
 
Effect on Registered “Book-Entry” Stockholders
 
Our registered stockholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form. Stockholders who hold all of their shares electronically will not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of Common Stock. They will be, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of Common Stock (following the Reverse Stock Split) registered in their accounts. If you hold registered shares of Common Stock (following the Reverse Stock Split) in a book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock in registered book-entry form.  If you are entitled to post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock, a transaction statement will be sent to your address of record as soon as practicable after the Effective Date indicating the number of whole shares of Common Stock you hold.

Exchange of Certificates and Elimination of Fractional Share Interests

On the Effective Date, every 600 shares of outstanding Common Stock will automatically be combined and changed into one share of Common Stock. No additional action on the part of the Company or any stockholder will be required in order to effect the Reverse Stock Split.

Our registered stockholders may hold their shares in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form. If any of your shares of Common Stock are held in certificate form, you will receive a transmittal letter from the Company’s transfer agent as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. The transmittal letter will be accompanied by instructions specifying how you can exchange your certificate(s) representing your pre-Reverse Stock Split shares for a new certificate representing your post-Reverse Stock Split shares. Stockholders should not submit any certificates until requested to do so.
 
Beginning on the Effective Date, each certificate representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Stock Split shares.

 
9

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued to any stockholder.  Accordingly, stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock, will, upon surrender of their certificates representing shares of pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, receive a new certificate representing the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. For example, if you own shares in an amount between one and 599, you will own one share of Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split
 
The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares through the Reverse Stock Split.  Theoretically, the number of shares outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the stock, the type of investor who acquires it, or the Company’s reputation in the financial community, but in practice this is not necessarily the case, as many investors look upon a stock trading at or under $1.00 per share as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment in such stocks.

Many leading brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced securities to their clients and a variety of brokerage house policies and practices currently tend to discourage individual brokers within firms from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Some of those policies and practices pertain to the payment of brokers’ commissions and to time-consuming procedures that make the handling of lower priced stocks unattractive to brokers from an economic standpoint. In addition, the structure of trading commissions also tends to have an adverse impact upon holders of lower priced stocks because the brokerage commission on a sale of a lower priced stock generally represents a higher percentage of the sales price than the commission on a relatively higher priced issue.

The Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders because it would reduce the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding to an amount that the Board believes is more reasonable in light of its size and market capitalization.
 
Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

Although the Reverse Stock Split may cause an immediate increase in the per share trading price and improve the marketability and liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock, other factors such as the Company’s financial results, general market and economic conditions and the market perception of the Company’s  business may adversely affect the market price, marketability and liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result, there can be no assurances that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above and that the market price of the Company’s Common Stock will sustain an increased price following the Reverse Stock Split.
 
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
 
The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion is included for general information purposes only and does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax law that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their particular circumstances. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and current Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion.

 
10

 
 
All stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to stockholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, partnerships, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers, tax-exempt entities, holders that hold shares as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other risk reduction transaction, and holders that acquired shares pursuant to the exercise of compensatory stock options, the settlement of restricted stock units or deferred stock units, or otherwise as compensation. This summary also assumes that the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares were, and the post-Reverse Stock Split shares will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code. As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

·
a citizen or resident of the United States;
·
