AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 1,000,000,000 TO 2,000,000,000

 

Our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders have approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 1,000,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares. The increase in our authorized shares of common stock will become effective upon the filing of the Amendment with the Department of State of the State of Florida. We will file the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the increase in our authorized shares of Common Stock (the “Amendment”) approximately (but not less than) 20 days after the definitive information statement is mailed to stockholders.

 

The form of the Articles of Amendment to be filed with the Department of State of the State of Florida is set forth as Appendix A to this Information Statement.

 

Outstanding Shares and Purpose of the Amendment

 

Our Articles of Incorporation currently authorize us to issue a maximum of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock. As of September 2, 2021, we had 93,872,024 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and 31,458 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into approximately 333,852,687 shares of common stock. In addition, we have entered into a series of financing transactions which require us to maintain a reserve of shares for conversions of outstanding debt and exercise of warrants which are at multiples of the number of shares from time to time issuable thereunder. Furthermore, in order to obtain future financings, we will be required to have additional authorized and unissued shares reserved for issuance.

 

Outstanding Convertible Notes

 

Our outstanding convertible notes are convertible into common stock based upon a discount to the market price of our common stock at the time of conversion. Therefore, the number of shares into which the notes are convertible varies with the market price of our common stock. The total principal and interest amount of our convertible notes as of September 1, 2021 was approximately $914,601. Amounts outstanding under our convertible notes convert into shares of common stock at fluctuating prices equal to our recent market price at the time of conversion, discounted by thirty nine percent (39%) to forty five percent (45%) (depending on the terms of the particular convertible note).

 

The following table summarizes the number of shares of comment stock that could be issued upon conversion of our outstanding convertible notes as of September 2, 2021, based upon a reasonable range of the recent market price of $0.028 per share:

 

   Number of Shares
25% below the recent market price  112,852,324
50% below the recent market price  142,832,914
75% below the recent market price  232,774,684
    

Effects of the Increase in Authorized Common Stock

 

In the event of conversions of outstanding debt and exercise of warrants and the resulting increase in outstanding shares of Common Stock, the additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the right to cast one vote per share of Common Stock. Although debt conversions, warrant exercises and the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the conversions of outstanding debt and exercise of warrants, among others (other than by way of a stock split or dividend), would have the effect of diluting existing stockholders.

 

At present, the Board of Directors has no specific plans to issue the additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Amendment (except upon conversions of outstanding debt and exercise of warrants by our lenders). However, the Company anticipates that some of these additional shares will be used in the future for various purposes without further stockholder approval, except as such approval may be required in particular cases by our charter documents, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other quotation system on which our securities may then be listed. These purposes may include: raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, establishing strategic relationships with other companies, and expanding the Company’s business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products.

 

We could also use the additional shares of Common Stock that will become available pursuant to the Amendment to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. Although the Board’s approval of the Amendment was not prompted by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at the Company), stockholders should be aware that the Amendment could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control of the Company, including transactions in which stockholders of the Company might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES AND SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT

 

The following table and footnotes thereto sets forth information regarding the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by (i) each director and named executive officer of our company, (ii) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock, and (iii) all named executive officers and directors of the Company as a group. In calculating any percentage in the following table of common stock beneficially owned by one or more persons named therein, the following table assumes 93,872,024 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Unless otherwise further indicated in the following table, the persons and entities named in the following table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the shareholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable. Unless as otherwise indicated in the following table and/or the footnotes thereto, the address of each person beneficially owning in excess of 5% of the outstanding common stock named in the following table is: 175 Joerschke Dr., Ste. A, Grass Valley, CA 95945.

(1)Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the above table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the date of this report.

 

(2)Includes 65,235,949 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 6,147 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, subject to a limitation under which a holder of Series A Preferred Stock may not convert such shares into more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Hylen also holds 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each of which entitles him to cast a number of votes equal to the votes of all of our outstanding shares of common stock. When the 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are taken into account, Mr. Hylen accounts for more than 66% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock.

 

(3)Consists of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 93 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Mr. Lewis also holds 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each of which entitles him to cast four times the votes of all of our outstanding shares of common stock. When the 500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are taken into account, Mr. Lewis accounts for more than 33% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock.

 

(4)Consists of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 279 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(5)Consists of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 93 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(6)See Notes (1) through (5) above.

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, holders of shares of common stock are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the Amendment, and we will not independently provide holders with any such right.

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE AMENDMENTS

 

No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Amendment which is not shared by all other holders of the shares of our common stock.
