INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Comprehensive Care Corporation (the “Company,” “us,” “we,” and “our”) is a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices located at 3405 W. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Suite 101, Tampa, Florida 33607. Our telephone number is (813) 288-4808.

At the request of our Board of Directors, we are sending this Information Statement to our stockholders to notify you about action taken by the holders of 65.1% of our outstanding voting capital stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, and by 54.1% of the holders of our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, par value $50.00 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), voting as a separate class, by written consent, dated October 13, 2010, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders (the “Written Consent”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws to approve the actions described in this Information Statement. The action taken pursuant to the Written Consent was the approval of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.

Under Section 228 of the DGCL, we are required to provide notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to us. The Information Statement accompanying this Notice shall also serve as the notice required by Section 238(3) of the DGCL.

Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on October 13, 2010 as the record date for determining our stockholders entitled to notice of the actions described in this Information Statement (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, 54,259,803 shares of our Common Stock and 14,400 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding and held by 1,133 and ten holders of record, respectively. With respect to the stockholder actions described in this Information Statement, shares of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an “as converted” basis with the shares of our Common Stock, voting together as a single class. Shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. Shares of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to 316.28 votes for each share of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding, which represents the equivalent of an aggregate of 4,554,379 shares of Common Stock. In addition, holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as a separate voting class with respect to the amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.


The increase in the amount of authorized shares of our Common Stock will become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which filing will occur at least 20 days after the initial mailing of this Notice and the accompanying Information Statement to our other stockholders.

All required corporate approvals of the amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation have been obtained, subject to furnishing this Information Statement and 20 calendar days elapsing from the date this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of informing our stockholders of this corporate action in the manner required by Rule 14c-2(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

We will pay all costs associated with the distribution of this Information Statement, including the costs of printing and mailing. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending this Information Statement to the holders of our Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock.

This Information Statement is being mailed on or before December     , 2010 to the holders of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock on the Record Date.

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 100,000,000 SHARES TO 200,000,000 SHARES.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes us to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Our Board of Directors approved and declared it advisable and in our best interest to submit to the holders of a majority of our then-outstanding Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, for action by written consent, an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). On October 13, 2010, holders of approximately (i) 65.1% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, taken together as a single class and on an as-converted basis, and (ii) 54.1% of the outstanding shares of our Series C Preferred Stock, as a separate class, approved the Amendment by action taken by written consent without a meeting in accordance with the DGCL. No further vote of our stockholders is required to approve the Amendment. The Amendment will become effective when it is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Such filing will occur at least 20 calendar days after the date this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders. The form of the Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Annex A.

Following the filing of the Amendment, we will be authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. We believe this number of authorized shares provides a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance in connection with various corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the sale of our capital stock in financing transactions, the purchase of property or acquisition of product lines or licenses, combinations with other companies, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and other employee benefit plans, the declaration of stock splits or distributions and other general corporate transactions. Our Board of Directors will be authorized to issue the additional shares of Common Stock without having to obtain the approval of our stockholders. Delaware law requires that our Board of Directors use its reasonable business judgment to assure that we receive “fair value” when we issues shares. Nevertheless, the issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock would dilute the proportionate interest of our current stockholders. The issuance of the additional shares of our Common Stock could also result in the dilution of the value of our securities currently outstanding, if the terms on which such shares are issued are less favorable than the current market value of our Common Stock.

It is possible that we may undertake additional financing or engage in other similar business transactions through the issuance of shares of our Common Stock. Although the consummation, if ever, or terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, consummation of these or other types of transactions could result in substantial additional dilution in the equity of our current stockholders. The holders of our securities should not anticipate that the Company necessarily will furnish such stockholders with any documentation concerning any transaction prior to any share issuances. All determinations (except for statutory mergers) involving share issuances are at the discretion and business judgment of our Board of Directors in its exercise of fiduciary responsibility, but require a determination by our Board of Directors that the shares are being issued for fair and adequate consideration. There is no assurance that any future issuance of shares will be approved at a price or value equal to or greater than the price which a prior stockholder has paid or at a price greater than the then current market price. Typically, unregistered shares are issued at less than market price due to their illiquidity and restricted nature as a result of, among other things, the extended holding period and sales limitations to which such shares are subject.

The increase in our number of authorized shares of Common Stock by the Amendment is not being consummated for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt, and we are not aware of any person or entity who is acquiring or plans to acquire control of us. Nevertheless, the power of our 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 us. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the private placement of stock, for example, could make us unattractive to the party seeking control of us. 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.

As of the Record Date, we had 100,000,000 shares of our Common Stock authorized for issuance, of which 54,259,803 shares were issued and outstanding and held by 1,133 holders of record. This number does not include an aggregate of 33,554,379 shares reserved for the potential conversion of our Series C and our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, 10,993,448 shares reserved for the possible conversion of our subordinated debentures and convertible promissory notes, or 38,792,418 shares reserved for the potential exercise of stock options and warrants and for the future issuance of options under existing stock option plans. Thus, as of the Record Date, we had no shares of Common Stock available for future issuance. The capitalization table below details our issued and reserved Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and other securities as of September 30, 2010.

Includes 2,100,000 shares of common stock held directly and 800,000 shares through the conversion of a convertible promissory note that is presently convertible. Information obtained from Form 13G dated July 31, 2009 filed by Mr. Ross on August 4, 2009 and Company records.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

We underwent two changes in control since the beginning of our last fiscal year:

 

  1) On January 16, 2009 Core Corporate Consulting Group, Inc. (“Core”), a privately held Delaware corporation, purchased a controlling, 49% interest in our equity securities for consideration of $1.5 million from Woodcliff Healthcare Investment Partners LLC (“Woodcliff”). Core acquired its 49% controlling interest through its acquisition from Woodcliff of 1,739,130 shares of our common stock and 14,400 shares of our then outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into 4,553,136 shares of our common stock. The source of the consideration was funds invested in Core by Core’s stockholders.

 

  2) On January 20, 2009, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Core. To consummate the merger we exchanged on a one-for-one basis shares of our common stock for all shares of Core’s Class A common stock held by Core’s stockholders. We also exchanged shares of our newly created Series B-1 and B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock for all shares of Core’s Class B common stock held by Core’s stockholders. By virtue of these exchanges, Core’s stockholders became entitled to approximately 77% of our total voting power.

As a result of the transactions described above, three of the seven members of our Board of Directors resigned on January 16, 2009. In addition, two members of our Board of Directors resigned on January 20, 2009 and four new members of our Board of Directors were appointed by Core on January 21, 2009.
