INFORMATION STATEMENT
Dated
[______], 2016
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
INTRODUCTION
This
Information Statement is being mailed on or about [________], 2016 to the stockholders of
record of MEDITE Cancer Diagnostics, Inc. (the
“Company,” “we” or “us”) at the
close of business on November 16, 2016 (the “Record
Date”). This Information Statement is being sent to you for
information purposes only. No action is required or requested on
your part.
This
Information Statement is being provided:
(i) to
inform you that on November 9, 2016, holders of the majority of the
issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock voted by written
consent to remove Robert F. McCullough, Jr. from the position of
Director of the Company, effective immediately (the
“Action”).
(ii) to
serve as notice of the foregoing actions in accordance with Section
228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section
228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law states that, unless
otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action
that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders
may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than
the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or
take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted, and those consents are delivered to
the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware,
its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the
corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of
meetings of stockholders are recorded.
The Action was approved on November 9, 2016, upon the execution of
a written consent by the holders of the majority of the issued and
outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Because the Action has been
approved by the holders of the requisite number of outstanding
shares that are entitled to cast votes, no other stockholder
approval of the amendment is necessary. This Information Statement
will also serve as notice of actions taken without a meeting as
required by Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
No further notice of the Actions described herein will be given to
you.
We are
currently authorized to issue 35,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share
(“Preferred Stock”). As of the close of business on the
Record Date, there were 22,103,662 shares of Common Stock,
47,250 shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock, 93,750 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, 38,333 shares of Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock, 175,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock, and 19,022 shares of Series E Stock issued and outstanding.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share
of Series E Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common
Stock into which such share is convertible on the Record Date,
calculated to the nearest whole share. As of the Record Date, the
Series E Stock outstanding was convertible into approximately
52,311 shares of Common Stock. Other than the Series E Stock, no
class of Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on the Action. The
affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of
the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock is necessary
to approve the Action. The requisite stockholder approval of the
Action was obtained on November 9, 2016.
The
expenses of preparing and mailing this Information Statement and
all documents that now accompany or may hereafter supplement it
will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers and other persons
holding stock in their names or the names of nominees for their
expenses incurred in forwarding this Information Statement to the
beneficial owners of such shares.
The
Action will become effective upon the passing of 20 calendar days
from the date a definitive copy of this Information Statement is
mailed to our stockholders.

The
affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of
the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock is necessary

HOUSEHOLDING
Under
SEC rules, only one annual report, information statement or Notice
of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, need be
sent to any household at which two or more of our stockholders
reside if they appear to be members of the same family and contrary
instructions have not been received from an affected stockholder.
This procedure, referred to as householding, reduces the volume of
duplicate information stockholders receive and reduces mailing and
printing expenses for us. Brokers with accountholders who are our
stockholders may be householding these materials. Once you have
received notice from your broker that it will be householding
communications to your address, householding will continue until
you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If,
now or at any time in the future, you no longer wish to participate
in householding and would like to receive a separate annual report,
information statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy
Materials, or if you currently receive multiple copies of these
documents at your address and would prefer that the communications
be householded, you should contact us at 4303 SW 34th St., Orlando FL
32811 or at (407) 996-9631.
REQUESTS
FOR CERTAIN DOCUMENTS
We file
annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other
information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”). You may read and copy any document we file with
the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room at 100 F Street,
NE, Washington, DC 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for
information on the public reference room. The SEC maintains an
internet site that contains annual, quarterly and current reports,
proxy and information statements and other information that issuers
(including us) file electronically with the SEC. Our electronic SEC
filings are available to the public at the SEC’s internet
site, www.sec.gov.
We make
available free of charge financial information, news releases, SEC
filings, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to
these reports as soon as reasonably practical after we
electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC,
on our website at www.globalstar.com. The documents available on,
and the contents of, our website are not incorporated by reference
into this Information Statement.
