NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDER 

 

The following action was taken based upon the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors and the written consent of the consenting stockholders:  

 

I. FOUR-FOR-ONE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT  

 

On July 7, 2015 the Board of Directors and the consenting stockholder adopted and approved a resolution to effect a reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of First American Group, at a ratio four-for-one (4:1) (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Under Rule 14c-2, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reverse Stock Split shall be effective twenty (20) days after this Information Statement is mailed to stockholders of First American Group, which date we anticipate to be on or about August 8, 2015. 

 

6

 

 

The Board of Directors also reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by stockholders, to not proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in our best interests and that of our stockholders. The Board of Directors may consider a variety of factors in determining whether or not to implement the Reverse Stock Split, including, but not limited to, overall trends in the stock market, recent changes and anticipated trends in the per share market price of the common stock, business and transactional developments, and our actual and projected financial performance.  

 

The reverse split will not change the number of authorized shares of common stock or the par value of First American Group's common stock. Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares, each stockholder of First American Group will hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the split.  

 

First American Group has no current plans, proposals or arrangements for the issuance of the shares that will result from the effective increase in the number of authorized shares that will result from the approved Reverse Stock Split. 

 

Purpose  

 

The Board of Directors believed that it was in the best interests of First American Group to implement a Reverse Stock Split on the basis that the high number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of First American Group would likely not appeal to brokerage firms and that when trading, the current projected per share price level of our common stock will reduce the effective marketability of our common stock because of the reluctance of many brokerage firms to recommend stock to their clients or to act as market-makers for issuers which have an excessive number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  

 

Certain Risks Associated With the Reverse Stock Split  

 

The Reverse Stock Split will have possible anti-takeover effects. 

 

Management of First American Group may use the shares that will result from the effective increase in the number of authorized shares that will result from the approved Reverse Stock Split to resist a third-party transaction by, for example, diluting stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of First American Group. 

 

There can be no assurance that the total projected market capitalization of First American Group's common stock after the proposed Reverse Stock Split will be equal to or greater than the total projected market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Stock Split or that the price per share of First American Group's common stock following the Reverse Stock Split will either exceed or remain higher than the current anticipated per share.  

 

There can be no assurance that the market price per new share of First American Group common stock (the "New Shares") after the Reverse Stock Split will rise or remain constant in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of First American Group common stock (the "Old Shares") outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split.  

 

Accordingly, the total market capitalization of First American Group's common stock after the proposed Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Stock Split and, in the future, the market price of First American Group's common stock following the Reverse Stock Split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the proposed Reverse Stock Split. In many cases, the total market capitalization of a company following a Reverse Stock Split is lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.  

 

There can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will attract investors, and a decline in the market price for First American Group's common stock after the Reverse Stock Split may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split, and the liquidity of First American Group's common stock could be adversely affected following a Reverse Stock Split. 

 

7

 

 

The market price of First American Group's common stock will also be based on First American Group's performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the market price of First American Group's common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of First American Group's overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split. In many cases, both the total market capitalization of a company and the market price of a share of such company's common stock following a Reverse Stock Split are lower than they were before the Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, the liquidity of First American Group's common stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.  

 

First American Group's common stock trades as a "penny stock" classification which limits the liquidity for First American Group's common stock.  

 

First American Group's stock is subject to "penny stock" rules as defined in Rule 3151-1, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. First American Group's common stock is subject to these penny stock rules. Transaction costs associated with purchases and sales of penny stocks are likely to be higher than those for other securities. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).  

 

As a result, all brokers or dealers involved in a transaction in which First American Group's shares are sold to any buyer, other than an established customer or "accredited investor," must make a special written determination. These Exchange Act rules may limit the ability or willingness of brokers and other market participants to make a market in our shares and may limit the ability of First American Group's stockholders to sell in the secondary market, through brokers, dealers or otherwise. First American Group also understands that many brokerage firms will discourage their customers from trading in shares falling within the "penny stock" definition due to the added regulatory and disclosure burdens imposed by these Exchange Act rules. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the common shares in the United States and stockholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares. An orderly market is not assured or implied as to First American Group's common stock. Nor are there any assurances as to the existence of market makers or broker/dealers for First American Group's common stock.  

 

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split  

 

In addition to those risk factors noted above, the Reverse Stock Split will have the following effects: 

 

General Corporate Changes - 4 Old Shares and owned by a stockholder would be exchanged for 1 New Share and the number of shares of First American Group's common stock issued and outstanding will be decreased proportionately based on the Reverse Stock Split.  

 

If approved and effected, the Reverse Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all of First American Group's issued and outstanding common stock. While the intent is for the proposed reverse split to affect all of First American Group's stockholders uniformly, the process of rounding up when any of First American Group's stockholders own a fractional share will result in a non-material change in each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in First American Group.  

 

The Reverse Stock Split does not materially affect the proportionate equity interest in First American Group of any holder of common stock or the relative rights, preferences, privileges or priorities of any such stockholder.  

 

Fractional Shares -- Any fractional shares of common stock resulting from the reverse split will "round up" to the nearest whole number. No cash will be paid to any holders of fractional interests in First American Group.  

 

8

 

 

Authorized Shares -- The reverse split will not change the number of authorized shares of common stock of First American Group, as stated in First American Group's Articles of Incorporation, as amended.  

 

Accounting Matters -- The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of First American Group's common stock. As a result, as of the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on First American Group's balance sheet attributable to First American Group's common stock will be increased proportionately based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is increased. The per share net income or loss and net book value of First American Group's common stock will be restated because there will be a lesser number shares of First American Group's common stock outstanding.  

 

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates  

 

Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, each outstanding share of common stock of First American Group will automatically be converted on the effective date at the applicable Reverse Stock Split ratio. It will not be necessary for stockholders of First American Group to exchange their existing stock certificates.  

 

Certain of our registered holders of common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with our transfer agent, no action needs to be taken to receive post-reverse stock split shares or cash payment in lieu of any fractional share interest, if applicable. If a stockholder is entitled to post-Reverse Stock Split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholder's address of record indicating the number of shares of common stock held following the reverse stock split.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split  

 

The following is a summary of certain material federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. It does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split and is included for general information only. Further, it does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences. Also, it does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, non-resident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. The discussion is based on the provisions of the United States federal income tax law as of the date hereof, which is subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively. This summary also assumes that the Old Shares were, and the New Shares will be, held as a "capital asset," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (i.e., generally, property held for investment). The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder's own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.  

 

No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder's exchange of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the New Shares received in the Reverse Stock Split (including any fraction of a New Share deemed to have been received) will be the same as the stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares exchanged therefor. The stockholder's holding period for the New Shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the Old Shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split.  

 

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, STOCKHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY STOCKHOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON STOCKHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED HEREIN BY THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) BY THE COMPANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

 

First American Group's view regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, each stockholder should consult with his or her own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to him or her of the Reverse Stock Split.
