INFORMATION STATEMENT

PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(C)

OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

AND RULE 14C-2 THEREUNDER

_____________________________________

NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION OF THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS 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

This Information Statement is being furnished to the holders of record of the shares of the common stock (the “Common Stock”) of NaturalNano, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company or “NaturalNano”), as of the close of business on the record date, July 1, 2013 (the “Record Date”). The purpose of the Information Statement is to notify our stockholders that on July 1, 2013, the Company received an unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting from the members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and a written consent of the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock (the “Written Consent”). The Written Consent adopted resolutions which authorized the Company to act on a proposal to amend its articles of incorporation (the “Articles”) to increase the Company’s authorized share capital from 294,117,647 shares to 800,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Amendment”).

The action will become effective on a date that is not earlier than twenty one (21) calendar days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders, when we file a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Because the Series D Stockholder has voted in favor of the foregoing action, and has sufficient voting power to approve such action through his ownership of Series D Preferred Stock, which provides that the Series D Preferred Stock is entitled to 51% of the total votes. Accordingly, no other stockholder consents will be solicited in connection with the Amendment.  The Board is not soliciting your proxy in connection with the adoption of the resolution, and proxies are not requested from stockholders.

In accordance with our bylaws, our Board has fixed the close of business on July 1, 2013 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the above noted actions. This Information Statement is being mailed on or about July __, 2013 to stockholders of record on the Record Date.

Our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights under the Company’s Articles, bylaws or Nevada corporate law with respect to the Amendment.

VOTE REQUIRED; MANNER OF APPROVAL

Approval to implement the Amendment requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company.  The Series D Stockholder has sufficient voting power to approve such action through his ownership of Series D Preferred Stock. Said preferred stock provides that the Series D Preferred Stock votes together as a single class with the Company’s common stock and any other classes or series of shares entitled to vote with the common stock, with the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock entitled to 51% of the total votes. Accordingly, no other vote or consent is required, and stockholder consents will not be solicited in connection with the transaction described in this Information Statement.  The Board is not soliciting proxies in connection with the adoption of these proposals, and proxies are not requested from stockholders.

In addition, the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company and provides in substance that stockholders may take action without a meeting of the stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of the outstanding voting shares holding not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to approve such action at a stockholders meeting.  The action is effective when written consents from holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting stock are executed and delivered to the Company.

There are currently one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, all of which are held by the Series D Stockholder, James Wemett, our President, Chief Financial Officer and a director. Because the Series D Stockholder has voted in favor of the foregoing action, and has sufficient voting power to approve such action through his ownership of Series D Preferred Stock, no other stockholder votes or consents are necessary to implement the Amendment. In accordance with our bylaws, the Board has fixed the close of business on July __, 2013 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote or give written consent.

On June 10, 2013, the Board and the Series D Stockholder executed and delivered to the Company the Written Consents. Accordingly, in compliance with the NRS, at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares has approved the Amendment.  As a result, no vote or proxy is required by the stockholders to approve the adoption of the foregoing action.

REASON FOR THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 294,117,647SHARES TO 800,000,000 SHARES.

The Company’s current Articles authorize the issuance of 294,117,647 shares of common stock of which 277,030,466 shares are issued and outstanding; 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 147,500 shares of Series B preferred stock are issued and outstanding, 7,590,968 shares of Series C preferred stock are issued and outstanding and 100 shares of Series D preferred stock are issued and outstanding, as of June 24, 2013. Each share of Series B preferred stock and Series C preferred stock is convertible into 160 shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of July 1, 2013, the Company has outstanding promissory notes which are convertible into an aggregate of shares of common stock based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of conversion.

The Company also has outstanding warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock to satisfy the conversion and/or exercise of all outstanding convertible debt, preferred stock, warrants and options. The Board believes that the Amendment will provide the Company with the ability to meet its obligations to issue shares upon such conversion or exercise of such instruments and in accordance with the Company’s contractual obligations thereunder.

The additional shares of common stock for which authorization is sought would be part of the existing class of the Company’s common stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the currently outstanding shares of common stock. Current stockholders do not have preemptive rights under the Articles and will not have such rights with respect to additional authorized shares of common stock.

In the future, the issuance of additional authorized shares of common stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights, of the then outstanding shares of common stock.
