Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On January 13, 2011, we disclosed that we had declared a one-for-one and one-half reverse stock split of our common stock in which every one and one-half shares of our common stock will be combined and converted into one share of our common stock.  The record date for the reverse stock split was January 21, 2011; the pay date for the reverse stock split is January 24, 2011; and the effective date for the reverse stock split is January 24, 2011.

We filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, with an effective date of January 24, 2011.  The new Cusip number for our post-reverse split common stock is 02554E 303.  As issued by FINRA, the new symbol for our common stock will be “AMZGD” from January 24, 2011, through and including February 18, 2011; thereafter it will revert to “AMZG.”  On January 24, 2011, we announced our new Cusip number and common stock symbol in a press release, a copy of which is Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.

For the record holders of our common stock, we will round up to the next full share of our common stock any fractional shares that result from the reverse stock split.  Fractional shares that result from the reverse stock split for the beneficial holders of our common stock will be rounded up or rounded down to the next full share in the sole discretion of the record holders for such beneficial holders.  We may also issue additional shares of our common stock to any record or beneficial holder thereof who, solely as a result of the reverse stock split without such additional issuance, would otherwise lose the status as a holder of a round lot of our common stock.
