(1)

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock outstanding on October 18, 2023. As of October 18, 2023, there were 3,163,024,616shares of our Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

(2)

Our Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. As of May 31, 2023, there were 1,940,153 shares of our Company’s Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

(3)

Our Company is authorized to issue 150,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. As of May 31, 2023, there were 150,000 shares of our Company’s Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

(4)

Our Company is authorized to issue 250,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $1.00. As of May 31, 2023, there were 250,000 shares of our Company’s Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

(5)

Our Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock. As of May 31, 2023, and there were 6,000,000 shares of our Company’s Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Of the Series D Preferred Stock outstanding, 3,000,000 are held by our directors or officers and upon conversion, no current holder of the Series D Preferred Stock would be a beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock.

(6)

Our Company is authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. As of May 31, ,2023, there were 14,989,500 shares of our Company’s Series E Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Of the Series E Preferred Stock outstanding, 3,588,000 are held by our directors and officers. Upon conversion no current holder of the Series E Preferred stock would be a beneficial owner of 5% or more of our common stock.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Other than as described in the notes to the table, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to shares beneficially owned by them. All share ownership figures include shares issuable upon exercise of options or warrants exercisable within 60 days of February ___, 2022, which are deemed outstanding and beneficially owned by such person for purposes of computing his or her percentage ownership, but not for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

 

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

 

The Stockholders have no right under, Colorado Corporate Law, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation consistent with above, or Bylaws to dissent from any of the provisions adopted in the Amendment.

 

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED INCREASE

 

Release No. 34-15230 of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any stockholder proposal that may be used as an anti-takeover device. Although the Company has no intent or plan to employ the additional unissued authorized shares as an anti-takeover device, it is possible that management could use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders. For example, shares of authorized and unissued common stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that would discourage persons from attempting to gain control of the Company, by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding. 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. Each of these, together with other anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and provided by Colorado law, could potentially limit the opportunity for the Company’s stockholders to dispose of their stock at a premium.

 

The Company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws do not presently contain any provisions having anti-takeover effects and this proposal is not a plan by management to adopt a series of amendments to the Company’s articles of incorporation or by-laws to institute an anti-takeover provision. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

 

The Board of Directors 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 or to secure management’s positions within the Company.
