(the “Registrant”) voted to approve an amendment to the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to increase the number of its authorized shares of capital stock from 8,000,000 shares to 160,000,000 shares of which 150,000,000 shares were designated common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares were designated “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on March 19, 2020. A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Holders of voting capital stock representing 5,114,594 votes of the Registrant’s outstanding voting capital stock representing 7,152,067 votes entitled to vote at the Meeting were present in person or by proxy, representing a majority of the Registrant’s outstanding voting capital stock.
