NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Dear Stockholder:

Enclosed are proxy materials for a special meeting of stockholders to be held on Wednesday, October 10, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (the “Special Meeting”), at The Silicon Valley Capital Club, 50 West San Fernando Street, San Jose, CA. The record date of the Special Meeting is the close of business on September 10, 2018 (the “Record Date”). You may cast one vote for each share of our common stock that you owned as of the Record Date. This Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement describe the following matters proposed by our board of directors to be considered and voted upon by our stockholders at the Special Meeting:

(1) to approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized capital to 775,000,000 shares, consisting of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 (the “Recapitalization”);

(2) to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies; and

(3) to transact such other further business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

We are asking you to approve the Recapitalization because we believe it will provide flexibility for potential business and financial transactions.

Your vote is important. Whether you own relatively few or a large number of shares of our stock, it is important that your shares be represented and voted at the Special Meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, I urge you to complete, date, and sign the enclosed proxy card and promptly return it to us in the envelope provided.

A quorum of stockholders must be present at the Special Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast as of the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Abstentions will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. Broker shares for which the nominee has not received voting instructions from the record holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on certain proposals will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. On the Record Date, there were 48,609,224 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, 24,304,613 shares of our common stock must be represented by stockholders present at the Special Meeting or by proxy to have a quorum.

If a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, the stockholders who are represented may adjourn the Special Meeting until a quorum is present. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies for such adjournment, unless marked to be voted against any proposal for which an adjournment is sought, to permit further solicitation of proxies.

We believe this recapitalization is in the best interest of the company and our stockholders. Please consider the enclosed carefully. We hope you will support this proposal with your vote.

	GREEN ENVIROTECH HOLDINGS CORP.

	PROXY STATEMENT

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

BE HELD ON OCTOBER 10, 2018

This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of Green EnviroTech Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation, for use at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on Wednesday, October 10, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (the “Special Meeting”), and any adjournments or postponements thereof, at The Silicon Valley Capital Club, 50 West San Fernando Street, San Jose, CA. Our board of directors is soliciting proxies for the purposes set forth in this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders.

Record Date and Share Ownership

Our board of directors has determined that only stockholders of record on our books at the close of business on September 10, 2018 (“Record Date”), will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. On the Record Date, we had 48,609,224 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock entitles the record holder to one vote on each matter to be vote upon by the holder of common stock at the Special Meeting. Copies of the Notice of the Special Meeting of Stockholders and the enclosed proxy card will be mailed to stockholders of record on or about September 25, 2018.

Voting by Proxy

Shares represented by a properly executed proxy in the form that accompanies this proxy statement will be voted at the Special Meeting and, if you provide instructions on the proxy, will be voted in accordance with those instructions. If you hold shares in your own name, you may vote by proxy by marking, dating, signing, and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the prepaid envelope provided. If you return your proxy to us, but fail to provide instructions with your proxy as to how your shares should be voted, your shares will be voted according to the recommendations of our board of directors to: (1) approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized capital from 250,000,000 shares of common stock to 750,000,000 shares of common stock; and (2) if required, to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.

If other matters come before the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment. We have not received any notice of other matters that may properly be presented at the Special Meeting. We bear the expense of soliciting proxies. Our directors, officers, or employees may also solicit proxies personally or by telephone, email, facsimile, or other means of communication. We may use the services of other third-parties to solicit proxies for the Special Meeting (in which case we may also compensate such other third-parties for services rendered). We might reimburse banks, brokerage firms, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of our common stock, for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to those beneficial owners.

Revoking a Proxy

You may revoke your proxy at any time before the start of the Special Meeting by delivering written instructions to our corporate secretary at our address set forth under “Additional Information” below. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not itself be deemed to revoke your proxy unless you give notice at the Special Meeting that you intend to revoke your proxy and vote in person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank, or other nominee.

Quorum Required

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A majority of shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. Shares that abstain from voting on a particular matter and “broker non-votes,” or shares held in “street name” by brokers, banks, or other nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares on a particular matter, are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Votes Required

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters to be voted on at the Special Meeting. With respect to “non-routine” matters, bank, brokerage firms, or other nominees are not permitted under the rules governing self-regulatory organizations, or SRO rules, to vote its clients’ shares if the clients do not provide instructions. Broker non-votes and abstentions, if any, will have the effect of votes “AGAINST” such non-routine matters.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF

AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

General

Our board of directors has approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock to 750,000,000 (“Recapitalization”). Our certificate of incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of September 10, 2018, we had 48,609,224 shares of common stock outstanding. The Recapitalization will become effective upon the filing of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Principal Motivation for the Recapitalization

Management determined to proceed with the Recapitalization in an effort to increase our available resources to provide capital for future funding of our operations. We currently have convertible notes, convertible debentures, and 144,100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding (the “Convertible Securities”). The Convertible Securities provide generally that after some period of time, the holders can convert the principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Securities into shares of our common stock at discounted conversion prices as set forth in the applicable transaction documents. In addition, the Convertible Securities require that we give our transfer agent irrevocable instructions to hold a number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock in reserve for future issuance. Although we currently have only 48,609,224 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, the holders of our Convertible Securities have currently reserved all of the remaining 201,390,776 authorized, but unissued, shares of our common stock. This leaves us unable to issue any more shares of common stock as long as those shares remain reserved.

Effects and Purpose of the Recapitalization

The additional shares of common stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the same voting rights, and rights to dividends and other distributions and will be identical in all other respects to our common stock as now authorized.

As of September 10, 2018, we had 48,609,224 shares of common stock outstanding; however, all of the remaining authorized, but unissued, shares have been reserved by the holders of our Convertible Securities. Given our need for additional available authorized shares of common stock to meet our business and financial needs, as well as our obligations for outstanding stock options, warrants, and Convertible Securities, our board of directors believes that the Recapitalization is necessary and in our best interests.

Although the Recapitalization will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our common stock, our board of directors may in the future issue the additional shares of common stock authorized by the Recapitalization to raise additional capital, to satisfy obligations for our outstanding stock options, warrants, and Convertible Securities, and to provide equity incentives to employees, officers, or directors or for other purposes.

If the Recapitalization is approved, we will have sufficient shares of common stock available to allow for the conversion of our Convertible Securities if they are converted and not repaid or redeemed in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. All of these shares will be restricted securities. Restricted securities are securities acquired in an unregistered private sale from the issuer or from an affiliate of such an issuer and cannot be sold unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless there is an exemption from registration available.

In addition to the potential issuances listed above, which we anticipate may take place if the Recapitalization is approved, we expect to issue additional shares in future financings in connection with our business. We do not currently have specific plans for a significant financing, but will need to raise further funding over the course of this year as we have done in preceding years.

Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have or be used for an anti-takeover effect, the Recapitalization is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or to obtain control of us.

Our common stock is currently registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The Recapitalization will not affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act.

No Appraisal Rights

No stockholder appraisal rights will be applicable in connection with the Recapitalization.

Implementation of the Recapitalization

If the Recapitalization is approved at the Special Meeting, our board intends to implement the Recapitalization by filing an amendment to our certificate of incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State as contemplated by the proposed “Certificate of Amendment” attached hereto as Appendix A.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required to approve the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect the Recapitalization. If a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are not voted to approve the Recapitalization, the increase to the authorized shares of our common stock will not take effect at that time.

Recommendation

We recommend that you vote FOR approval of the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect the Recapitalization.

PROPOSAL NO 2—ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING

Our stockholders may be asked to consider and act upon one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Recapitalization.

If a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, our stockholders may be asked to vote on the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting so that we can solicit additional proxies in favor of the Recapitalization. If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, but there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Recapitalization, our stockholders may also be asked to vote on the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the Recapitalization. However, a stockholder vote may be taken on one of the proposals in this proxy statement before any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval on such proposal.

If the adjournment proposal is submitted for a vote at the Special Meeting, and if our stockholders vote to approve the adjournment proposal, the meeting will be adjourned and the board of directors will use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of approval of the Recapitalization, including the solicitation of proxies from stockholders that have previously voted against it.

DISSENTERS’ RIGHT OF APPRAISAL

Stockholders do not have any dissenter or appraisal rights in connection with these actions.

Stockholders may present proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement to be mailed in connection with the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders provided such proposals are received by us no later than December 26, 2018, or if the date of that meeting is more than 30 calendar days before or after May 31, 2019, a reasonable time before we print and mail our proxy materials for that meeting, and are otherwise in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the governing provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Prompt responses will greatly facilitate arrangements for the meeting and your cooperation is appreciated. Stockholders who attend the meeting may vote their stock personally even though they have sent in their proxy cards.
