AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO DECREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
PURPOSE
The Company’s board of directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to decrease the number of authorized shares of common stock from 4,500,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as currently in effect, authorizes the Company to issue up to 4,500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The board of directors has proposed a decrease in the number of authorized shares of the common stock of the Company and a stockholder holding a majority of the outstanding voting power has approved the filing of the Amendment. Upon the filing of the Amendment, the Company will be authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock, will remain the same.
The board of directors believes that authorizing this decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
EFFECT
The relative voting and other rights of holders of the common stock will not be altered by the authorization of a decrease in shares of common stock. Each share of common stock will continue to entitle its owner to one vote. As a result of the decreased authorization, the potential number of shares of common stock outstanding will be decreased.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The Company’s board of directors fixed the close of business on April 26, 2013 as the record date of the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of the action by written consent.
As of April 26, 2013, the Company has no class of voting stock outstanding other than the common stock. The Company had 178,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. A stockholder holding 100,000,000 shares of common stock representing approximately fifty six percent (56.02%) of voting rights of the securities of the Company, as of the Record Date, has consented to the action required to authorize the Amendment.

The following table lists, as of April 26, 2013, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock; (ii) each executive officer and director of our company; and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of Common Stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest.
