PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY TO EFLO ENERGY, INC.
The Company was originally organized to recruit instructors to teach English in Japan and Brazil. The Company was unable, however, to identify a sufficient number of instructors to fulfill its business plan.
In March 2011 the Company initiated oil and gas exploration and development operations in the United States and Canada. The Company no longer believes the word “Overseas” accurately portrays its business focus. As a result, the Company’s name should be changed to reflect its current business activities.
Accordingly, the shareholders of the Company are being requested to vote on a proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation changing the name of the Company to EFLO Energy, Inc.
The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote for this proposal.
PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION SUCH THAT THE COMPANY WOULD BE AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE UP TO 150,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK , UP TO 10,000,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK AND TO MAKE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
Common Stock
In July 2012, the Company acquired Devon Canada’s interest (generally a working interest of 22.989%, with a working interest of 69.337% in one producing gas well) in the Kotaneelee Gas Project (“KGP”). The KGP covers 30,188 gross acres in the Yukon Territory in Canada, and includes; a gas dehydration plant (capacity: 70 million cubic feet per day (“MMCFD”)), one gas well producing approximately 3.5 MMCFD, one water disposal well (capacity: 6,000 barrels per day), and two suspended gas wells. The KGP has a fully developed gas gathering, sales and delivery infrastructure, airstrip, roads, flarestack, storage tanks, barge dock and permanent camp facilities.
In exchange for Devon’s working interest in the KGP, the Company paid CAD$293,700 (USD$289,295) in cash, and indemnified Devon against its portion of the abandonment, reclamation and environmental liabilities associated with Devon’s interest in the KGP.
In October 2012, the Company closed an agreement with Nahanni Energy Inc., 1700665 Alberta Ltd., Apex Energy (2000), Inc. and Canada Southern Petroleum #1 L.P. (jointly “Nahanni”) for the acquisition of its entire right and interest (generally a working interest of 30.664%) in the KGP.
In exchange for Nahanni’s interest in the KGP, the Company paid Nahanni CAD$400,000 (USD$398,550) in cash, and CAD$4,100,000 (USD$4,190,610) in shares of one of the Company’s subsidiaries, which shares are exchangeable for up to 1,614,767 shares of the Company restricted common stock. In addition, the Company indemnified Nahanni against its portion of the abandonment, reclamation and environmental liabilities associated with the KGP.
As a result of the Company’scquisition of Nahanni’s working interest, early estimates indicate that during the twelve-month period ending October 2013, the Company’s capital requirements relating to its interest in the KGP, including the absorption of liabilities and year one exploration costs, may range from $30,600,000 to $36,600,000. To raise this capital, the Company will need to sell shares of its common stock.
The Company is presently authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock. As of October 15, 2012 the Company had 17,465,540 outstanding shares of common stock.
To permit the Company to raise the capital it may need, the Company believes it should increase the number of its authorized common shares to 150,000,000.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company has not determined the price at which it will sell shares of its common stock. In addition, the Company does not have any commitments from anyone to provide the Company with any additional capital.
Except as discussed above, the Company does not have any agreements, plans, arrangements or understandings to issue any of the additional shares of common stock.
The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote for the proposal to increase the authorized shares.
Holders of common stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock can elect all directors.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of the Company’s assets after payment of liabilities. Our directors are not obligated to declare a dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.
Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire any additional shares the Company may issue in the future. There are no conversion, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Under Nevada law, shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be determined by a corporation’s Board of Directors. For each series, the voting powers and preferences, dividend rights, preferential payments on liquidation, rights to convert the preferred shares into common shares, and any other qualifications, limitations or restrictions will be established by the Board of Directors.
With this flexibility, the Board of Directors can issue a series of preferred stock which, unlike common stock, can be specifically tailored to unique aspects of a financing or an acquisition.
The Company, however, is currently not authorized to issue any shares of preferred stock. The Company believes that having the ability to issue shares of preferred stock would be advantageous when raising capital or completing acquisitions.
It should be noted, that the issuance of preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights, which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of common stock, may make the removal of management difficult, even if the removal would be considered beneficial to stockholders generally, and may have the effect of limiting stockholders’ participation in transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by the Company’s management.
The Company does not have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, with respect to the issuance of any preferred stock.
Technical Amendments
The other proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation:
·
|
make it clear that each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on any matter submitted to the Company’s shareholders;
|
·
|
allow the Board of Directors to restrict the transfer or sale of the Company’s common stock provided a legend describing any restriction is noted on the certificate representing the shares;
|
·
|
provides that the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the adequacy of any consideration received for any shares, options, or any other securities which the Corporation at any time may issue or sell will be conclusive in the absence of fraud; and
|
·
|
eliminates paragraph nine of the Addendum to the Articles of Incorporation since the wording in paragraph nine is unclear and may be inconsistent with Nevada Law relating to amending Articles of Incorporation.
|
Board Recommendation
The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote for the amendments to the Articles of Incorporation discussed above.
AVAILABILITY OF ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending August 31, 2011 will be sent to any shareholder of the Company upon request. Requests for a copy of this report should be addressed to the Secretary of the Company at the address provided on the first page of this proxy statement.

AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION OF
EFL OVERSEAS, INC.
1. The name of this Corporation is EFLO Energy, Inc.
2. Paragraph three of the Addendum to the Articles of Incorporation is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
The authorized capital stock of the Corporation shall consist of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value.
No share of the common stock shall have any preference over or limitation in respect to any other share of such common stock. All shares of common stock shall have equal rights and privileges.
Each outstanding share of common stock shall be entitled to one vote, either in person or by proxy, on any matter submitted to the shareholders of this Corporation for their approval.
The designations, powers, rights, preferences, qualifications, restrictions and limitations of the preferred stock shall be established from time to time by the Corporation's Board of Directors, in accordance with Nevada Law.
Cumulative voting shall not be allowed in elections of directors or for any purpose.
No holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be entitled, as such, to any preemptive or preferential right to subscribe to any unissued stock or any other securities which the Corporation may now or hereafter be authorized to issue. The Board of Directors of the Corporation, however, in its discretion by resolution, may determine that any unissued securities of the Corporation shall be offered for subscription solely to the holders of common stock of the Corporation, or solely to the holders of any class or classes of such stock, which the Corporation may now or hereafter be authorized to issue, in such proportions based on stock ownership as said board in its discretion may determine.
The Board of Directors may restrict the transfer of any of the Corporation's stock issued by giving the Corporation or any stockholder "first right of refusal to purchase" the stock, by making the stock redeemable, or by restricting the transfer of the stock under such terms and in such manner as the directors may deem necessary and as are not inconsistent with the laws of this State. Any stock so restricted must carry a conspicuous legend noting the restriction and the place where such restriction may be found in the records of the Corporation.
The judgment of the Board of Directors as to the adequacy of any consideration received or to be received for any shares, options, or any other securities which the Corporation at any time may be authorized to issue or sell or otherwise dispose of shall be conclusive in the absence of fraud, subject to the provisions of these Articles of Incorporation and any applicable law.
3. Paragraph nine of the Addendum to the Articles of Incorporation is eliminated.
