AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

The Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company have approved an increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 by means of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.

 

The terms of the additional shares of common stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because the holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any new issuances of common stock, the authorization and subsequent issuance of additional shares of common stock will reduce the current stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of common stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares of authorized common stock will not alter current stockholders’ relative rights and limitations.

 

The Articles of Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation that reflects the increase in the authorized Common Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The increase in the authorized common stock will become effective upon the filing of the Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, which is expected to occur as soon as is reasonably practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day following the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company's stockholders.

 

Reason for Increase

 

In order to permit us to raise capital or issue our common stock for other business purposes, we need to increase the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under our Articles of Incorporation. As a result of the increase in authorized common stock, the Company will be able to issue shares from time to time as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional capital for ongoing operations, establishing strategic relationships with corporate partners, acquiring or investing in complementary businesses or products, providing equity incentives to employees, and effecting stock splits or stock dividends.

 

Effects of Increase

 

In general, the issuance of any new shares of common stock will cause immediate dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders, may affect the amount of any dividends paid to such stockholders and may reduce the share of the proceeds of the Company that they would receive upon liquidation of the Company. Another effect of increasing the Company’s authorized common stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to render it more difficult to, or discourage an attempt to, obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of present management. The Board of Directors would, unless prohibited by applicable law, have additional shares of common stock available to effect transactions (such as private placements) in which the number of the Company's outstanding shares would be increased and would thereby dilute the interest of any party attempting to gain control of the Company, even if such party is offering a significant premium over the current market price of the common stock. Such an issuance of shares of common stock would increase the number of outstanding shares, thereby possibly diluting the interest of a party attempting to obtain control of the Company. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this resolution was not presented with the intent that the increase in the Company's authorized common stock be utilized as an anti-takeover measure.

 

Vote Required

 

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock is required for the approval of the increase in the number of shares of the authorized common stock. On the Record Date, the increase from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 was approved by the holders of approximately 55% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

No Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal

 

Neither Nevada law nor our Articles of Incorporation provides our shareholders with dissenters’ rights in connection with the amendment to our Articles. This means that no shareholder is entitled to receive any cash or other payment as a result of, or in connection with the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, even if a shareholder has not been given an opportunity to vote.

 

Interests of Certain Persons in or Opposition to Matters to be Acted Upon

 

No persons have any substantial interest in the increase in our authorized shares of common stock.
