INFORMATION STATEMENT

FOR

NOTICE OF ACTION BY MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS ON WRITTEN CONSENT

July ___, 2015

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Information Statement is furnished to you by the Board of Directors of Mentor Capital, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the change of state of incorporation of the Company from California to Delaware.  We have attached hereto as Appendixes A, B, and C the form of Plan and Agreement of Merger with the Delaware corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation of the surviving Delaware corporation, and the Bylaws of the surviving Delaware corporation, respectively.

On May 2, 2015, our Board of directors approved our reincorporation from California to Delaware by means of a merger with and into a newly formed and wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary corporation formed for purposes of the merger with us in order to change the Company’s domicile (“Reincorporation”).  On June 30, 2015 (“Record Date”), pursuant to an action by previously-authorized proxy, the holders of _____ shares of the Company’s outstanding shares of authorized common stock, representing _____% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, approved the Reincorporation.  As of the Record Date, _______ shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding.  Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote.  

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Information Statement Materials in Connection with this Schedule 14C:  We will furnish a copy of this Information Statement, without charge, to any shareholder upon written request to the address set forth below, Attention:  Corporate Secretary.  A letter concerning this Information Statement is first being mailed to our shareholders on or about July 9, 2015.  Our executive offices are located at 511 Fourteenth Street, Suite A-2, A-4, A-6, Ramona, CA 92065.  Our telephone number is (760) 788-4700.

NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION OF THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.  

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

Why am I receiving these materials?

Our Board of Directors has delivered printed versions of these materials to shareholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. on June 30, 2015, by mail, in connection with the Board’s and majority shareholders’ approval by written consent of the shareholders of the Company, of a change in the Company’s state of incorporation from California to Delaware.  This Information Statement constitutes the notice required to shareholders pursuant to Section 603(b) of the California General Corporation Law.

When will this action be taken?

The Board anticipates that the Agreement and Plan of Merger will be filed with the California and Delaware Secretaries of State 20 calendar days following the mailing of this Information Statement to shareholders in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act, or approximately in late July 2015.

Why are you proposing this Action?

The Board of Directors deems it to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to change the state of our incorporation from California to Delaware.  We want to change the state of our incorporation for several reasons including to take advantage of certain statutory, case law, and administrative flexibility in connection with the operation and administration of the Company.  We are examining creation and use of certain preferred securities to further our business. We would like, in part, to be able to take advantage of certain provisions of Delaware law that, we believe, will give our planning more surety than available in California.

- 1 -

Do I need to give my consent?

No.  Holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares have consented by proxy vote given to Chester Billingsley to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger to merger the Company into a Delaware corporation for purposes of changing the domicile of the Company and the Board is neither seeking your consent nor a proxy to vote your shares to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger at this time.  

Are you having a meeting of shareholders?

No.

How may I communicate with the Company’s Board of Directors?

You may send correspondence to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Chester Billingsley, in care of The Corporate Law Group, 1342 Rollins Road, Burlingame, California 94010.  Mr. Billingsley will submit your correspondence to the Board of Directors or the appropriate committee or director, as applicable.

How much will the Merger into the Delaware corporation cost the Company?

We anticipate that the costs of preparing, filing, printing and mailing this Information Statement and attendant documents to shareholders and the filing fees associated with the Agreement and Plan of Merger will not exceed $50,000.  

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the transaction, passed upon the merits or fairness of the transaction, or passed on the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this Information Statement.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROPOSED REINCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY FROM CALIFORNIA TO DELAWARE

This Information Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors of the Company, to the holders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2015 (the “Record Date”) of the Company’s outstanding common stock (“Common Stock”).

Our Board of Directors believes that the Reincorporation is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  The Agreement and Plan of Merger, Articles of Merger, Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and Bylaws (in substantially the forms included with this Information Statement) all have the unanimous support of our Board of Directors and the proxy vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding stock.  Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June ___, 2015, by and between the Company and Mentor Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mentor Delaware”), we will merge with and into Mentor Delaware with Mentor Delaware as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).  We anticipate that the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Articles of Merger will be filed with the California Secretary of State on or after July 27, 2015.  

Our separate existence in California will cease upon the effectiveness of the Merger but our business will continue unaffected and unimpaired by the Reincorporation.

Each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will automatically be converted into one share of Mentor Delaware common stock, and the existing holders of common stock will own all of the outstanding shares of Mentor Delaware common stock immediately following the Merger.  No change of ownership will result from the Reincorporation.

No Appraisal Rights

Shareholders do not have appraisal rights under the California General Corporation Law or under our articles of incorporation filed in California, as amended to date (the “California Articles”) or bylaws, as amended to date (the “Bylaws”) in connection with the Reincorporation.

Why did the Board of Directors Choose to Reincorporate in Delaware?

The choice of a state of domicile is important because each state has its own sets of laws, rules, regulations, and procedures which govern the operation of a corporation.  Our officers and directors look to these state laws to guide their decision-making on many issues including corporate governance procedures and policies, director and officer fiduciary duties to the corporation’s shareholders, and key strategic alternatives for the corporation including mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.  The Board believes that Delaware state laws, rules, and regulations provide the best guidance and operation procedures for Mentor.

- 2 -

Delaware has long been a favored state of domicile for many corporations and other business entities.  Over the years Delaware has cultivated and adopted a comprehensive and coherent set of corporate laws that quickly respond to the ever-changing legal and business needs of corporations.  Delaware also has an extensive and predictable set of case law which addresses the complex and varied nature of issues facing a public company.  Finally, Delaware offers a quick and easy process for charter amendments and other administrative needs.  Our Board believes that Delaware’s decades of business and case law will help Mentor more easily navigate the complex issues that may arise as it continues to grow and seek out additional investment opportunities.

Predictability, Flexibility, and Responsiveness

Delaware courts have a well-established background of case law that is more thorough, predictable, and broadly applied to principles of corporate governance than the case law in California.  Delaware corporations can look to this plethora of firmly established and consistently interpreted principles when making business and legal decisions.

Many large companies are incorporated in Delaware which allows Delaware to review and decide matters relating to corporate governance and rights and obligations of shareholders before any other state.  California courts often times look to Delaware case law when reviewing issues related to corporations and its shareholders.  Mentor believes that this “first review” will be most beneficial to the corporation and its shareholders because not only does it provide decisions for issues which have not yet been reviewed in California courts but Delaware corporate laws are also more consistently and predictably enforced.

Unlike California in which business and corporate disputes are heard by the Superior Court which often experiences long delays and inconsistent decisions, Delaware also has a dedicated court system, the Court of Chancery, specially designed to quickly and efficiently review and decide corporate law cases.  Cases appealed from the Court of Chancery are automatically forwarded to Delaware’s Supreme Court.  In addition to the separate corporate law court system, Delaware also recently enacted the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act which provides a streamlined arbitration system for many business law disputes.  

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Delaware allows a Board to adopt a shareholders rights plan, sometimes known as a “poison pill”, as a means to thwart a hostile takeover or maintain control over the corporation.  Under a shareholders’ rights plan in the event of a hostile takeover or attempt by an “activist” shareholder to take over control of the company through purchase of a substantial number of shares, a Delaware corporation could provide the right to other shareholders to purchase additional shares to dilute the hostile or “activist” purchaser from gaining a majority ownership stake.   Whether a California court would allow a similar shareholders’ rights or “poison pill” plan is uncertain as the validity of a shareholders’ rights plans have never been definitively addressed by the California courts.

Are there any negative impacts of reincorporating in Delaware?

As with all decisions, yes, there are possible negative consequences in reincorporating in Delaware.  First, unless expressly included in the certificate of incorporation, Delaware does not automatically provide for cumulative voting for directors; shareholders may generally only vote the number of votes allocated to their shares.  In California, when voting for directors, a shareholder may vote the number of shares he or she owns multiplied by the number of director candidates.  Second, Delaware may not provide the same rights to minority shareholders as those shareholders would receive under California law.  For example, in California, a shareholder owning at least 10% of the corporation’s shares may call a special meeting of the shareholders but Delaware does not allow a shareholder to call a special meeting of shareholders unless such right is included within the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws.  Third, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law may prevent the company from entering into a business combination with a shareholder holding a large number of shares, thereby impeding how Mentor chooses to operate.

How will the Reincorporation be effected?

Following at least 20 days after the mailing of this Registration Statement to shareholders, Mentor will file the attached Agreement and Plan of Merger with the California Secretary of State and the merger of the California corporation into the newly formed Delaware entity will be effective upon acceptance of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by the California Secretary of State. Immediately following the acceptance of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the California entity shall cease to exist and the Delaware corporation, the surviving entity, shall be the successor in interest to Mentor and all shareholders of Mentor shall become shareholders of Mentor Delaware.  The surviving Mentor Delaware corporation will also file a copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State to file and make effective the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”).  

- 3 -

What are the consequences of the Reincorporation?

Immediately following the Reincorporation, Mentor will be governed by the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, Delaware Bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Copies of the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may be found at the Company’s website at http://mentorcapital.com/disclosures/14C and will be available to any shareholder who requests a copy from the Secretary of the Company.

After the Reincorporation our name will still be Mentor Capital, Inc.  Other than the change in domicile to Delaware, the Reincorporation will not result in any change to our business operations, name, management, Board composition, fiscal year, assets, liabilities, net worth, or physical location.  We do not believe that Reincorporation will affect any material contracts we have with third parties and all material contracts, including rights and contracts for officer and director compensation, will be assumed by Mentor Delaware.  Mentor’s current directors will become the directors of Mentor Delaware and Mentor’s officers shall continue to act as the officers of Mentor Delaware.  We will continue to operate from the same business address located at 511 Fourteenth Street, Suite A-2, A-4, A-6, Ramona, CA 92065.

What will happen to my shares of common stock as a result of the Reincorporation?

On the effective date of the Reincorporation, each outstanding share of common stock of Mentor shall be automatically converted into one share of common stock of Mentor Delaware.  Any stock certificate representing issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Mentor will continue to represent the same number of shares of common stock of Mentor Delaware.  Each outstanding warrant shall remain in effect and shall be convertible into one share of Mentor Delaware’s common stock.

Any share certificate currently issued for shares of Mentor will automatically represent shares in Mentor Delaware upon the effective date of the Reincorporation.  Shareholders will not be required to surrender or exchange any share certificates as a result of the Reincorporation.

Will the shares of common stock be listed for trading after the Reincorporation?

Our common stock listed for trading on the OTCQB under trading symbol MNTR shall continue to be traded under the same symbol.

Will the Reincorporation impact Mentor’s registration statements with the SEC?

No.  The registration statement, as amended, of Mentor on file with the SEC immediately prior to the Reincorporation will be assumed by Mentor Delaware.

Are there dissenters’ rights with respect to the Reincorporation?

While California law does generally allow dissenting shareholders to receive certain rights, such as the ability to cash out their shares rather than receive the merger consideration, because all of the Mentor shareholders remain the same following the Reincorporation, California law does not provide for dissenters’ rights in this situation.

Are there any tax repercussions from the Reincorporation?

We do not believe that either Mentor or shareholders will experience a taxable event as a result of the Reincorporation.  Each shareholder is advised to check with his or her own tax advisor.

Interest of Mentor’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Reincorporation

Mentor’s officers and directors may have interests in the Reincorporation that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the shareholders generally.  For example, the Reincorporation may be of benefit to our officers and directors in helping reduce personal liability, preventing takeover bids, and increasing their indemnification by the corporation.  Mentor’s Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered them in reaching its decision to approve the Reincorporation.

Differences Between California General Corporation Law and Delaware General Corporate Law.  Differences Between Mentor and Mentor Delaware.

Below is a table showing some of the differences between California General Corporation Law (“CGCL”) and Delaware General Corporate Law (“DGCL”), including some of the changes to the Company’s Articles and Bylaws that will be effected as part of the Reincorporation.  This table does not list all of the possible differences and similarities; shareholders are encouraged to review the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Bylaws.

Provision	Mentor California	Mentor Delaware
Authorized Shares	400,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, no par value.  100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 500,000 of which are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, no par value.	400,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.0001.  100,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001.
Ability of Shareholders to Call Special Meetings	Under CGCL, a special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the chairman of the Board, the board of directors, the president, or the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at such meeting and such persons as are authorized by the articles of incorporation or bylaws.	Under DGCL, a special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the board of directors or by any person authorized in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws.
	The California bylaws provide that a special meeting of the shareholders may be called by holders of shares amounting to no less than 10% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.	The Delaware bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may only be called by one or more holders of an aggregate of thirty (30%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at that meeting.
Cumulative Voting	The CGCL allows cumulative voting for the election of directors if the shareholder provides advance notice of the intent to exercise its cumulative voting rights.  The CGCL also permits public companies to eliminate cumulative voting by the approval of the shareholders.	Under DGCL cumulative voting is not allowed unless the company provides for cumulative voting rights in its certificate of incorporation.
	The California Bylaws provide shareholders with the right of cumulative voting for the election of directors if such shareholders provide advance notice to Mentor California of the intent to exercise such rights	Neither the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation nor the Bylaws provide any shareholder with cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.
Change in the Number of Directors on the Board	Under CGCL a change in the number of directors must be approved by the shareholders, but the Board of directors may fix the exact number of directors within a stated range set forth in the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, if such range has been approved by the shareholders.	Under DGCL the number of directors shall be fixed by or in the manner provided by the bylaws, unless the number of directors is fixed in the certificate of incorporation.
	The California Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors shall be a variable range between the range of 3 to 5.	The Delaware Bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors shall be a variable range of directors between 1 and 9, which may be fixed from time to time by a vote of the Board or shareholders.
Classified Board of Directors	Under CGCL a corporation may create and elect a classified board.	Under DGCL a corporation may adopt a classified board of directors pursuant to which the directors can be divided into as many as three classes with three-year staggered terms of office and with only one class of directors coming up for election each year.
	The California Bylaws do not provide for a classified Board of directors.	The Delaware Bylaws do not provide for a classified Board of directors.

Shareholder Action by Written Consent	The California Bylaws provide that any action of the shareholders which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted.  Directors may not be elected by written consent except by unanimous written consent of all shares entitled to vote for the election of directors	The Delaware Bylaws provide that any action of the shareholders which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares of not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on the action were present and voted.
Vote Required to Elect Directors	Plurality of votes except in the case of election of directors on written consent in which case a unanimous vote of shares shall be required.	Plurality of votes.
Filling Vacancy on the Board	The California Bylaws provide that except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, all vacancies, whether caused by resignation, death, or otherwise, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum or by a sole director, and each director so elected shall hold office until his or her successor is elected at an annual, regular, or special meeting.  Vacancies created by a removal of a director may only be filled by approval of the shareholders.	The Delaware Bylaws provide that except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, all vacancies, whether caused by resignation, death, or otherwise, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum or by a sole director, and each director so elected shall hold office until his or her successor is elected at an annual, regular, or special meeting.  Vacancies created by a removal of a director may only be filled by approval of the shareholders.
Interested Shareholders Transaction and Business Combination	The CGCL does not provide any specific restrictions on interested shareholders effecting a business combination.	Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested shareholder (e.g. a shareholder owning 15% or more of the outstanding shares entitled to vote) for three years following the date that the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder without Board approval. Section 203 makes certain types of hostile takeovers more difficult.
Removal of Directors	Under CGCL any director, or the entire board of directors, may be removed, with or without cause, with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.  If the company allows cumulative voting, as Mentor does, no director may be removed (unless the entire board is removed) if the number of votes cast against the removal would be sufficient to elect the director under cumulative voting rules.	Under DGCL a single director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, except that unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, if the board is classified, the shareholder may effect such removal only for cause.
Shareholder Vote Required to Approve Merger or Sale of Company	The CGCL requires that the holders of the outstanding shares representing a majority of the voting power of both the acquiring and target corporation approve a statutory merger.  Additionally, the CGCL requires that a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation be approved by the holders of the outstanding shares representing a majority of the voting power of the corporation selling its assets.	The DGCL is similar to the CGCL in that the holders of the outstanding shares representing a majority of the voting power of both the acquiring and the target company are required to approve a statutory merger. Similarly, when selling all or substantially all of the company’s assets, a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting shares are required to approve the sale.

Provision	Mentor California	Mentor Delaware
50/90 Rule Related to Mergers	In California, if one party to a merger or its parent owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the other merging party, the non-redeemable common shares or non-redeemable common equity of the acquired company may be converted only into non-redeemable common shares of the surviving entity or its parent.  This rule does not apply if all of the shareholders of the class consent; if the transaction is a short-form merger; or if the Commissioner of Corporations, Commissioner of Financial Institutions, or the Public Utility Commission approves the merger.	Delaware does not have an analogous provision in the DGCL.
Dividends and Repurchases of Shares	Under the CGCL, a corporation may not make a distribution to its shareholders unless (i) the amount of retained earnings immediately prior to the distribution equals or exceeds the amount intended to be distributed plus all accrued but unpaid preferential dividends, and (ii) immediately after the distribution the value of the corporation’s assets equals or exceeds its liabilities plus any preferential distribution rights.	A Delaware corporation may authorize distributions at any time so long as preferential distributions are paid or set aside before any dividends or other payouts are authorized for any other classes or series of stock. Distributions will be paid out of surplus and the board of directors may approve an increase in the surplus by directing a portion of the corporation’s net assets to be transferred to the corporation’s surplus account.
	A corporation may redeem any or all shares which are redeemable at its option by (i) giving notice to shareholders required by CGCL and its articles of incorporation and (ii) paying for such redeemed shares. Shares redeemed by the corporation are restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares unless the articles require otherwise.	Under DGCL the corporation may redeem any shares at any time so long as at least 1 voting share remains outstanding after the redemption.  Shares shall be redeemed out of the corporation’s surplus account.
Elimination or Limitation of Director Personal Liability for Monetary Damages	The CGCL allows a corporation to limit the directors’ and officers’ personal liability for monetary damages except in instances where liability is based on: - Intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law; - Acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director; - Receipt of an improper personal benefit; - Acts or omissions that show reckless disregard for the director’s duty to the corporation or its shareholders, where the director in the ordinary course of performing a director’s duties should be aware of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders; - Acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to a dereliction of the director’s duty to the corporation and its shareholders; or - Transactions between the corporation and a director who has a material financial interest in such transaction, and liability for improper distributions, loans, or other guarantees. Mentor California’s Articles eliminate personal liability for its directors to the fullest extent allowed by California law.	The DGCL allows a corporation to include a provision in its certificate of incorporation which limits a director’s personal liability for monetary damages arising from the director’s breaches of his or her fiduciary duties to the corporation and its shareholder, subject to certain exceptions.  Directors may not be absolved for liability arising from: - Breaches of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; - Acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law; - The payment of individual dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or - Transactions in which the director received an improper personal benefit. Mentor Delaware’s Certificate of Incorporation eliminates personal liability for its directors to the fullest extent allowed by Delaware law.

Provision	Mentor California	Mentor Delaware
Indemnification	The CGCL allows indemnification of officers and directors provided that each meets a certain standard of conduct.  The CGCL requires indemnification when the indemnitee has successfully defended the action on its merits.  Indemnification is permitted under the CGCL only for acts taken in good faith and believed to be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.	Similarly, the DGCL allows indemnification if each of the indemnified officers and directors meets a certain standard of conduct.  The DGCL requires indemnification when the indemnitee has successfully defended the action on its merits.  Indemnification is permitted under the DGCL for acts in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company and its shareholders.  The DGCL allows a company to provide indemnification in excess of that provided under the DGCL.
	Expenses incurred by an officer or a director may be advanced by a corporation, if the officer or director agrees to reimburse such amounts if he or she is deemed not entitled to such indemnification. The CGCL permits a company to purchase indemnification insurance for its officers, directors, employees, and agents.	Like California, the DGCL allows a corporation to advance expenses to officers and directors if each agrees to reimburse those advanced amounts if he or she is deemed not entitled to such indemnification. The DGCL also permits a corporation to purchase indemnification insurance for the benefit of its officers, directors, employees, and agents. The DGCL allows indemnification of expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of a derivative or third party action, provided that such payments are approved by a majority vote of the disinterested directors of the board, by independent legal counsel, or by the shareholders that the person seeking indemnification acted in good faith and in a manner reasonable believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.  No indemnification may be made without court approval in any derivative action in which such person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct.
	The CGCL allows a corporation to provide indemnification rights beyond those provided in the CGCL provided that such excess coverage is authorized by the corporation’s articles of incorporation.   Mentor California’s Articles provide for indemnification rights to the fullest extent allowed by law.  Mentor California has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers.	Mentor Delaware’s Certificate of Incorporation allowed the corporation to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent allowed by law. Mentor Delaware will assume the indemnification agreements entered into with its officers and directors providing for substantial rights to indemnification in accordance with the DGCL.
Amendment of Bylaws	Mentor California’s Bylaws may be amended by a vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.	Mentor Delaware’s Bylaws may be amended by a vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.  Mentor Delaware’s Bylaws may also be altered, amended, or repealed by a majority of the directors on the corporation’s Board of directors.
Amendment of Articles or Certificate of Incorporation	Mentor California’s Articles of Incorporation may be amended by a vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.	Mentor Delaware’s Certificate of Incorporation may be amended by a vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
Dissolution	Under the CGCL, a corporation may be dissolved on the approval of a majority vote of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.	Under the DGCL, if approved by the Board, a corporation may be dissolved on the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote. If the Board does not approve dissolution, the corporation may only be dissolved on a unanimous vote of all stockholders entitled to vote.

Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominees	Mentor California’s Bylaws do not provide a specific procedure for shareholder proposals or director nominees.	Similarly, Mentor Delaware’s Bylaws also do not provide a specific procedure for shareholder proposals or director nominees.
Shareholder Rights Plans or “Poison Pills”	The CGCL does not specifically provide for shareholder rights plans or “poison pills” and, as neither type of plan has been directly tested by the California court system, it is unclear whether either type of plan will ultimately be approved in California. The CGCL provides that each shareholder of a class must be treated the same as any other member of the same class so it is unclear whether a shareholder rights plan providing for additional shares on a pro-rata basis to certain shareholders in an effort to stave off a hostile takeover would be allowed.	The DGCL does not have a specific provision authorizing a shareholder rights plan but, over the years, the Delaware courts have consistently approved shareholder rights plans effected to provide a pro-rata right to certain shareholders to purchase additional shares in an effort to avoid a hostile takeover. Mentor Delaware is not certain at this time whether it will implement such a plan.
