NOTICE OF ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
To the Stockholders of SPO Medical Inc.
This Notice and the accompanying Information Statement are being furnished on or about September __, 2013 by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SPO Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to the holders of record of the Company’s outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the close of business on August 26, 2013 (the “Record Date”), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
The purpose of this Information Statement is to inform holders of record of Common Stock as of the Record Date of actions taken by holders of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Series A Preferred"), created by written consent of the Board as permitted by the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be further amended. Each share of Series A Preferred has the equivalent of 2,028,136 votes of Common Stock (based upon the outstanding number of shares of Common Stock issued at the time hereof). Currently, there is one holder of Series A Preferred (the "Series A Stockholder" or the "Majority Stockholder"), holding one hundred (100) shares of Series A Preferred, resulting in the Series A Stockholder holding in the aggregate approximately 67% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company. The Series A Stockholder authorized the following:
· | The one (1) for twenty (20) reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"); and |
· | Changing the name of this company to “SPO Global Inc.” (the “Corporate Name Change”; together with the Reverse Stock Split, the “Action Items”). |
On August 26, 2013, the Board approved the Action Items and recommended to the Majority Stockholder that he approve the Action Items. On August 26, 2013, the Majority Stockholder approved the Action Items by written consent in lieu of a meeting, in accordance with Delaware law. Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Action Items.
The Board believes that the stockholders of the Company will benefit from the Reverse Stock Split because it believes that such Reverse Stock Split could be a catalyst for an increase in the stock price of the Common Stock, which in turn could increase the marketability and liquidity of the Company's Common Stock, as well as increase the profile of the Company for private investment, acquisitions and other future opportunities that become available to the Company. Accordingly, it is the Board's opinion that the Reverse Stock Split would better position the Company to attract potential business candidates and provide the Stockholders a greater potential return. The Board also believes that the Corporate Name change is needed because it reflects the increasing focus of the Company on consumer wellness products.
The attached Information Statement describes the stockholder action by written consent approving the Action Items, which stockholder action was taken pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), which permits any action that may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders to be taken by written consent by the holders of the number of shares of voting stock required to approve the action at a meeting. No action is required by you. The Information Statement is being furnished to stockholders of record of the Company as of the Record Date pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, and the rules thereunder solely for the purpose of informing stockholders of these corporate actions before they take effect. Please read the accompanying Information Statement carefully. In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Action Items would be expected to become effective 20 calendar days following the mailing of the Information Statement.

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

INTRODUCTION
Delaware law 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 such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. Delaware law, however, requires that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action 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 holders to take the action were delivered to a company.
In accordance with the foregoing, we will mail the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent on or about September __, 2013.
This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the following corporate matters approved by the Board of SPO Medical Inc., (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") and the holder of Series A Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred"), which constitute a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company:
· | The one (1) for twenty (20) reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split") ; and |
· | Changing the name of this company to “SPO Global Inc.” (the “Corporate Name Change”; together with the Reverse Stock Split, the “Action Items”). |
Series A Preferred
By unanimous written consent of the Board (as permitted under Delaware law), the number, designation, rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred were established by the Board (as is permitted under Delaware law and by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as may be amended). The designation, rights, preferences and privileges that the Board established for the Series A Preferred is set forth in a Certificate of Designation that was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 26, 2013. Among other things, the Certificate of Designation provides that each one share of Series A Preferred has voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the "Numerator"), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator.
By unanimous written consent of the Board, the Board issued an aggregate of one hundred (100) shares of Series A Preferred, to one individual, who is currently our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board (the "Series A Stockholder"). As a result of the voting rights granted to the Series A Preferred, the Series A Stockholder holds in the aggregate approximately 67% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company.
As of August 26, 2013, there were issued and outstanding (i) 99,382,952 shares of our Common Stock, and (ii) one hundred (100) shares of Series A Preferred. Based on the foregoing, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Action Items approved by the Board is 302,196,582 (the sum of the votes represented by the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred). Pursuant to Delaware law, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least 154,120,257 votes, are required to approve the Action Item by written consent. The Series A Stockholder, which holds in the aggregate one hundred (100) shares of Preferred Stock, or approximately 67% of the voting equity of the Company, has voted in favor of the Action Items, thereby satisfying the requirement under Delaware law that at least a majority of the voting equity vote in favor of a corporate action by written consent.

ACTIONS TAKEN
The Reverse Stock Split and the Corporate Name Change will become effective on the date that we file the Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. We intend to file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders.
The form of certificate of amendment affecting the Reverse Stock Split and Name Change is attached to this information statement as Exhibit A.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we must first notify FINRA of the intended Reverse Stock Split by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated record date of such action. Our failure to provide such notice may constitute fraud under Section 10 of the Exchange Act.
We currently expect to file the Amendment on October 4, 2013.
I. | 1-FOR-20 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT |
GENERAL
Our Board approved by unanimous written consent a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, each twenty (20) shares of our Common Stock will be automatically converted, without any further action by the Stockholders, into one share of Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue to the Stockholders one additional share of Common Stock for each fractional share. The Company anticipates that the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split will be October 4, 2013.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY, EXCEPT AS MAY RESULT FROM THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE FRACTIONAL SHARES.
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Our Board believes that, among other reasons, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock have contributed to a lack of investor interest in the Company and has made it difficult for the Company to attract new investors and potential business candidates. Our Board proposed the Reverse Stock Split as one method to attract business opportunities for the Company. Our Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split could increase the stock price of our Common Stock and that the higher stock price could help generate interest in the Company by investors and provide business opportunities.
However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split upon the stock price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies like us is varied. Further, we cannot assure you that the stock price of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split because, among other things, the stock price of our Common Stock may be based on our performance and other factors as well.
5 |
The principal effect of the Reverse Stock Split will be the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from 99,382,952 shares as of August 26, 2013 to approximately 4,969,148 shares (depending on the number of fractional shares that are issued). The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our Stockholders uniformly and will not affect any Stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our Stockholders holding a fractional share of our Common Stock. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split shall not affect any rights, privileges or obligations with respect to the shares of Common Stock existing prior to the Reverse Stock Split, nor does it increase or decrease the market capitalization of the Company. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a "going private transaction" under Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
We will not be reducing the number of the authorized and unissued shares of our Common Stock, which will remain at 100,000,000 shares. By reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and leaving the number of authorized shares of Common Stock that the Board is authorized to issue from time to time at 100,000,000 shares, more shares of Common Stock are available for issuance as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Board believes that the availability of more shares of Common Stock for issuance will allow the Company greater flexibility in pursuing financing from investors and issuing shares of Common Stock in exchange for such financing, meeting business needs as they arise, taking advantage of favorable opportunities, and responding to a changing corporate environment
The following chart depicts the capitalization structure of the Company both pre-Reverse Stock Split and post-Reverse Stock Split (the post-split shares of Common Stock may differ slightly based on the number of fractional shares), taking into effect the authorized share decrease:
Pre-Reverse Stock Split
Authorized Shares of Common Stock |
Issued Shares | Authorized but Unissued |
100,000,000 | 99,382,952 | 617,048 |
Post-Reverse Stock Split
Authorized Shares of Common Stock |
Issued Shares | Authorized but Unissued |
100,000,000 | 4,969,148 | 95,030,852 |
CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
You should recognize that you will own a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than you presently own. While we hope that the Reverse Stock Split will result in an increase in the potential stock price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the potential stock price of our Common Stock by a multiple equal to the inverse of the Reverse Stock Split ratio or result in the permanent increase in any potential stock price (which is dependent upon many factors, including our performance and prospects). Should the stock price of our Common Stock decline, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, the possibility exists that potential liquidity in the stock price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of Stockholders of the Company who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots typically will experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares, as well as possible greater difficulty in effecting such sales. As a result, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
THE OVERALL EFFECT OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT MAY BE TO RENDER MORE DIFFICULT THE CONSUMMATION OF MERGERS WITH THE COMPANY OR THE ASSUMPTION OF CONTROL BY A PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER, AND THUS MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO REMOVE MANAGEMENT.
A possible effect of the Reverse Stock Split is to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, or the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company's voting securities and the removal of incumbent management. Our management could use the additional shares of Common Stock available for issuance to resist or frustrate a third-party take-over effort favored by a majority of the independent Stockholders that would provide an above market premium by issuing additional shares of Common Stock.
The Reverse Stock Split is not the result of management's knowledge of an effort to accumulate the Company's securities or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise. Nor is the Reverse Stock Split a plan by management to adopt a series of amendments to the Company's charter or by-laws to institute an anti-takeover provision. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences. As discussed above, the reason for the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the amount of shares of Common Stock that the Company is able to issue in order to attract potential investors and conduct equity financings.
PROCEDURE FOR EFFECTING REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND EXCHANGE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES
We anticipate that the Reverse Stock Split will become effective on October 4, 2013, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable (the "Effective Date"). Beginning on the Effective Date, each stock certificate representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock.
Our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Co., will act as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre- Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock are asked to surrender to the Exchange Agent stock certificates representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock in exchange for stock certificates representing post- Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal enclosed with this Information Statement. No new stock certificates will be issued to a Stockholder until such Stockholder has surrendered the outstanding stock certificate(s) held by such Stockholder, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal.
7 |
Further, prior to filing the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation reflecting the Reverse Stock Split, we must first notify the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the record date for the Reverse Stock Split, anticipated to be October 4, 2013. Our failure to provide such notice may constitute fraud under Section 10 of the Exchange Act.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
FRACTIONAL SHARES
No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue to the Stockholders one additional share of Common Stock for each fractional share.
II. | CORPORATE NAME CHANGE |
Our Board approved by unanimous written consent a change in our corporate name to “SPO Global Inc.”.
PURPOSE OF CORPORATE NAME CHANGE
The Board believes that the name change from SPO Medical Inc. to SPO Global Inc. is needed as a result of the change in our product line. Beginning in 2010, we ceased all manufacturing, marketing and operations activities for our PulseOx medical products line which catered to the medical market, and changed our focus to produce and market sports, baby monitoring and general consumer wellbeing products for the global wellness market. We believe that changing the name of the Company to “SPO Global Inc.” will more accurately reflect and represent to the public the business of the Company.
WHEN THE NAME WILL GO INTO EFFECT
Prior to filing the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation reflecting the Name Change, we must first notify FINRA by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated record date of the Name Change. Our failure to provide such notice may constitute fraud under Section 10 of the Exchange Act.
NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under Delaware law, our Stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Action Items.

Common Stock. Subject to the prior or equal rights of any holders of Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled (i) to receive dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors our of any funds legally available therefore, (ii) in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, to receive the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution, ratably according to the number of shares of Common Stock held, and (iii) to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

Preferred Stock. Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein and in the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided.
