approving the following matter, which had previously been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) on November 15, 2023:

 

The elimination of the need for a formal meeting of the stockholders to approve the actions is authorized by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, (the “Nevada Law”). This Section provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on a matter were present and voted, may be substituted for the formal meeting. According to Section 78.380(1)(b) of the Nevada Law, an action by the stockholders on a matter other than the election of directors is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action and pursuant to Section 78.330 of Nevada Law, directors of every corporation must be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders by a plurality of the votes cast at the election. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting and in order to approve the Amendment described above, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize the written consent of the Majority Stockholders of the Company and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the Majority Stockholders to approve the Amendment described above, pursuant to the Majority Stockholder Consents.

 

The actions taken pursuant to the Majority Stockholder Consents were in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders. This Information Statement shall constitute notice to you of the Majority Stockholders taking action by written consent under Section 78.320 of the NRS.

 

This Information Statement is being distributed pursuant to the requirements of Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act to our stockholders of record on the Record Date. The actions approved by the Majority Stockholders will be effective no earlier than twenty (20) days after the date this Information Statement is first sent to stockholders, which we expect to be on or approximately [*], 2024. Notice of the availability of this Information Statement is being mailed on or about [*], 2024, to stockholders of record on the Record Date who did not execute the Majority Stockholder Consents. Stockholders may also request a copy of the Information Statement by contacting our main office at (786) 389-9771.

 

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by us. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our voting securities held of record by them and we will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

 

As a result of the above, your consent is not required and is not being solicited.

AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

Our Board and the Majority Stockholders, pursuant to the Majority Stockholder Consents, have approved and ratified the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to reflect the Amendment, and to increase the Company’s total authorized number of shares of Common Stock three hundred and fifty million (350,000,000) shares (the “Share Increase”), and to restate Article 8, Authorized Shares thereof, in the form of Appendix A hereto, which is subject to non-material technical, administrative or similar changes and modifications by the officers of the Company, in order to comply with Nevada law.

 

The Amendment has no effect on the par value of the Company’s common stock.

 

The purpose of the Share Increase is to provide the Board of Directors the ability to issue additional shares of common stock of the Company to enable the Company to complete transactions which the Board of Directors believe may be accretive to stockholders, including acquisitions, consulting and employment relationships and fund raisings, provided that the Company does not currently have any definitive plans to, or definitive agreements or understandings in place to, issue any such additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock which will be made available as a result of the Share Increase.

 

The purpose of the Amendment is to reflect the Share Increase and to restate Article 8, Authorized Shares of the current Articles of Incorporation.

 

As a result of the Share Increase, there will be three hundred and fifty million (350,000,000) total authorized shares of capital stock of the Company, consisting of 350,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

The Board of Directors will be authorized to issue the additional shares of common stock without having to obtain the approval of the Company’s stockholders. The issuance of additional shares could result in the dilution of the value of the shares now outstanding, if the terms on which the shares were issued were less favorable than the contemporaneous market value of the Company’s common stock.

 

The increase in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance is not being done for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt. Nevertheless, the power of the Board of Directors to provide for the issuance of shares of common stock without stockholder approval has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the private placement of stock into “friendly” hands, for example, could make the Company unattractive to the party seeking control of the Company. This would have a detrimental effect on the interests of any stockholder who wanted to tender his or her shares to the party seeking control or who would favor a change in control.

 

Effective Time and Implementation of the Amendment

 

The effective time for the Amendment will be the date on which we file the Amendment with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada or such later date and time as specified in the Amendment. We currently anticipate that the Amendment will be effective no earlier than twenty (20) days after this Information Statement has been made available to our stockholders, which we expect to be on or approximately [*], 2024.

Stockholder proposals must be in writing and must include (a) the name and record address of the stockholder who intends to propose the business and the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder; (b) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to introduce the business specified in the notice; (c) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business; and (e) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors reserves the right to refuse to submit any proposal to stockholders at an annual meeting if, in its judgment, the information provided in the notice is inaccurate or incomplete, or does not comply with the requirements for stockholder proposals set forth in the Company’s Bylaws.

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

 

STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME LAST NAME AND ADDRESS

 

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy and information statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy or information statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy or information statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they are or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy or information statement, or if you currently receive multiple proxy or information statements and would prefer to participate in householding, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to LQR House Inc., 6800 Indian Creek Dr, Suite 1E, Miami, Florida 33141 or by faxing a communication to [*].
