AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED TO SEND US A PROXY

 

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

 

To our Stockholders:

 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cemtrex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, has approved, and the holder of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock has executed a written consent in lieu of a special meeting approving the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion (the “Nevada Reincorporation”).

 

The accompanying Information Statement describes the Nevada Reincorporation in more detail and is being furnished to our stockholders for informational purposes only, pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations prescribed thereunder. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and our bylaws, stockholder action may be taken by written consent without a meeting. The written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote is sufficient under the DGCL and our bylaws to approve the actions described above. Accordingly, the actions described above will not be submitted to our other stockholders for a vote.

 

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Nevada Reincorporation will not be effected until at least twenty (20) calendar days after the mailing of the Information Statement to our stockholders.

 

This letter is the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL. We will first mail the Information Statement on or about September [*], 2026 to our stockholders of record as of September 4, 2026.

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 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.

 

Cemtrex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we”, “us” or “our”) is sending this Information Statement solely for the purpose of informing our stockholders in the manner required under Regulation 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the actions taken by the holder of a majority of the voting power of our Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred”), and Series 1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series 1 Preferred”), by written consent in lieu of a special meeting. No action is requested or required on your part.

 

What actions were taken by written consent in lieu of a special meeting?

 

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”), upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board, approved, and the stockholder holding at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock approved by written consent in lieu of a special meeting, the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion (the “Nevada Reincorporation”), including:

 

  the Audit Committee resolutions, the Board resolutions, and the written consent of stockholders attached as Appendix A;
  the Plan of Conversion attached as Appendix B (the “Plan of Conversion”);
  the Nevada articles of incorporation attached as Appendix C (the “Nevada Articles”), which embed the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series 1 Preferred Stock; and
  the Nevada bylaws attached as Appendix D (the “Nevada Bylaws”).

 

The Nevada Reincorporation will be effected as a statutory conversion of the Company from a Delaware corporation into a Nevada corporation pursuant to Section 266 of the DGCL and NRS 92A.195, on the terms of the Plan of Conversion. Upon the effective time of the conversion (the “Effective Time”):

 

  the Company will continue in existence as a Nevada corporation named “Cemtrex, Inc.” without interruption of corporate existence;
  the internal affairs of the Company will cease to be governed by Delaware law and the Company’s existing certificate of incorporation and bylaws and will instead be governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “NRS”), the Nevada Articles and the Nevada Bylaws;
  each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Delaware corporation will automatically convert into one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Nevada corporation;
  each outstanding share of Series C Preferred and each outstanding share of Series 1 Preferred of the Delaware corporation will automatically convert into one share of the corresponding series of the Nevada corporation, with the designations, preferences and rights set forth in the Nevada Articles;
  outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire Common Stock will continue on the same terms and will relate to an equal number of shares of Nevada Common Stock;
  stockholders will not be required to exchange certificates or book-entry positions;
  Common Stock is expected to continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CETX” without interruption; Series 1 Preferred is expected to continue to be quoted on the OTC Markets under “CETXP”; and
  headquarters, management, employees, assets, liabilities, contracts and business operations will not change as a result of the Nevada Reincorporation, other than transaction costs and the settlement of Delaware franchise-tax obligations described below.

What vote was obtained to approve the Nevada Reincorporation described in this Information Statement?

 

The Nevada Reincorporation was approved by our Board and by our stockholders pursuant to action taken by majority written consent on September 1, 2026, for notification to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 4, 2026 (the “Record Date”). The approval of the Nevada Reincorporation by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a special meeting requires the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock, Series C Preferred and Series 1 Preferred as of the Record Date.

 

As of the Record Date, 1,721,141 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote. As of the Record Date, 50,000 shares of our Series C Preferred were issued and outstanding. Each share of our Series C Preferred is entitled to the number of votes equal to (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 10.01 and divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Series C Preferred outstanding, which amounts to an aggregate of 17,228,621 votes as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date, 2,983,141 shares of Series 1 Preferred were issued and 2,919,041 outstanding. Each outstanding share of Series 1 Preferred is entitled to two votes, which amounts to an aggregate of 5,838,082 votes.

 

Based on the foregoing, as of the Record Date, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Nevada Reincorporation was 24,787,844. Pursuant to Sections 266 and 228 of the DGCL, at least a majority of the voting power of the Company, or at least 12,393,923 votes, is required to approve the Nevada Reincorporation by written consent. Our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Saagar Govil, holding 17,583,216 votes, equal to approximately 70.93% of the voting power of the Company, has consented in favor of the Nevada Reincorporation, thereby satisfying the requirement pursuant to the DGCL that at least a majority of the voting power consent in favor of the Nevada Reincorporation.

 

The following table sets forth the securities held by Mr. Govil, the votes he was entitled to cast, the votes he consented in favor of the Nevada Reincorporation, and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding voting power represented by that consent:

 

Class  Shares Held by Mr. Govil   Votes per share / formula  Votes Consented 
Common Stock  5   1 vote per share  5 
Series C Preferred  50,000   (Common outstanding × 10.01) ÷ Series C outstanding  17,228,621 
Series 1 Preferred  177,295   2 votes per outstanding share  354,590 
Total votes consented by Mr. Govil         17,583,216 
Percentage of outstanding voting power         70.93%

 

Who is paying the cost of this Information Statement?

 

We will pay for preparing, printing and mailing this Information Statement. Our costs are estimated at approximately $10,000.

Am I entitled to dissenter’s rights?

 

Holders of our Common Stock, which is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, are not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Nevada Reincorporation. The market-out exception in Section 262(b) of the DGCL applies because, as of the Record Date, the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange and holders will receive, on a one-for-one basis, Common Stock of the continuing Nevada corporation that is expected to remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Holders of Series C Preferred Stock and Series 1 Preferred Stock who have executed the written consent approving the Nevada Reincorporation are not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company does not believe that dissenters’ rights under NRS Chapter 92A apply to this conversion of a Delaware corporation into a Nevada corporation. Neither the Company’s existing Delaware certificate of incorporation or bylaws, nor the Nevada Articles of Incorporation or Nevada Bylaws, grant appraisal or dissenters’ rights in addition to those provided by statute.

 

Any stockholder who believes that he, she, or it may have appraisal or dissenters’ rights should consult his, her, or its own counsel promptly. Failure to comply strictly with the applicable statutory procedures will result in a loss of those rights.

 

THE NEVADA REINCORPORATION

 

What is the Nevada Reincorporation?

 

The Nevada Reincorporation is the conversion of Cemtrex, Inc. from a Delaware corporation into a Nevada corporation pursuant to Section 266 of the DGCL and NRS 92A.195. It is a continuation of the same legal entity, not a merger into a newly formed company and not a transfer of assets to a new issuer. The Company’s name, business, management, employees, headquarters, subsidiaries, contracts, Commission file number (001-37464) and employer identification number (30-0399914) will remain the same, other than transaction costs and the settlement of outstanding Delaware franchise-tax obligations described below.

 

At the Effective Time:

 

  the Company will be governed by the NRS, the Nevada Articles and the Nevada Bylaws instead of the DGCL and the Company’s existing Delaware certificate of incorporation and bylaws;
  each outstanding share of Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Nevada Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share;
  each outstanding share of Series C Preferred and each outstanding share of Series 1 Preferred will convert automatically into one share of the corresponding Nevada series, with the designations, preferences and rights set forth in the Nevada Articles;
  outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights to acquire Common Stock will continue on the same terms and will relate to an equal number of shares of Nevada Common Stock;
  stockholders will not be required to exchange certificates or book-entry positions;
  Common Stock is expected to continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under “CETX” without interruption;
  Series 1 Preferred is expected to continue to be quoted on the OTC Markets OTCID under “CETXP”; and
  authorized capital will remain 80,000,000 shares, consisting of 70,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which the Nevada Articles designate Series A Preferred, Series C Preferred and Series 1 Preferred on the terms described in the Nevada Articles.

 

The Plan of Conversion is attached as Appendix B. The Nevada Articles are attached as Appendix C. The Nevada Bylaws are attached as Appendix D.

 

How will the Nevada Reincorporation be effected?

 

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, approved the Nevada Reincorporation. The stockholder holding a majority of the voting power then approved it by written consent. After this Information Statement has been sent or given to stockholders, and after the 20-calendar-day waiting period required by Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company intends to file:

 

  a certificate of conversion with the Delaware Secretary of State; and
  articles of conversion and the Nevada Articles with the Nevada Secretary of State.

 

5

 

 

The Effective Time will be the date and time specified in those filings or, if none is specified, upon filing. The Board may delay or abandon the Plan of Conversion at any time before the Effective Time if it determines that doing so is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

Because Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq, the Company will notify Nasdaq Listing Qualifications in accordance with Nasdaq’s listing procedures so that trading in CETX continues without interruption. Because Series 1 Preferred is quoted on the OTCID, the Company will also submit a company-related action notification to FINRA under Rule 6490 at least ten calendar days before the Effective Time and will update the CETXP issuer profile with OTC Markets after FINRA processes the action. The Company’s transfer agent will be instructed so that book-entry and CUSIP/DTC positions continue without a mandatory exchange.

 

When will the Nevada Reincorporation become effective?

 

The Nevada Reincorporation will not be effected earlier than 20 calendar days after the definitive Information Statement is first sent or given to stockholders. The Company currently expects to effect the Nevada Reincorporation on or about [●], 2026, subject to that waiting period, FINRA processing for CETXP, and the state filings described above.

 

BACKGROUND OF THE NEVADA REINCORPORATION

 

As part of its ordinary oversight of the Company’s governance, the Board asked management and counsel to evaluate the Company’s Delaware domicile. The Board considered recent developments in Delaware corporate law and litigation practice, the relative predictability of Nevada’s statute-based framework, the Company’s annual Delaware franchise-tax burden, and whether a conversion could be completed without interrupting the Nasdaq listing of CETX or the OTC quotation of CETXP, and without changing the Company’s capital structure or the Series C voting formula.

 

The Board delegated that evaluation to the Audit Committee, which is composed entirely of directors who meet the independence requirements of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee reviewed Delaware and Nevada law, recent public-company conversions from Delaware to Nevada, the proposed Plan of Conversion, the proposed Nevada Articles (including the embedding of existing preferred-stock terms) and the proposed Nevada Bylaws. The Audit Committee also considered whether the transaction would confer any non-ratable benefit on any director or officer.

 

The Audit Committee recommended that the Board approve the Nevada Reincorporation. The Board then adopted the resolutions included in Appendix A and recommended the transaction to stockholders. On September 1, 2026, Mr. Govil, holding voting power sufficient to approve the transaction, delivered the written consent included in Appendix A.

 

The Nevada Reincorporation is not being undertaken in response to any known attempt to acquire control of the Company.

 

REASONS FOR THE NEVADA REINCORPORATION

 

The Audit Committee and the Board believe the Nevada Reincorporation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the following reasons.

 

Statute-based corporate law. Nevada corporate law is primarily statutory. Fiduciary standards applicable to directors and officers, and the presumption that they act in good faith and on an informed basis with a view to the interests of the corporation, are set out in the NRS. Delaware law remains heavily developed through Court of Chancery and Supreme Court decisions. The Board concluded that a more code-based regime should reduce uncertainty in ordinary board decision-making for a company of Cemtrex’s size.

 

6

 

 

Litigation environment. The Board considered the frequency and cost of stockholder litigation in Delaware. Claims that do not succeed still consume management time, increase D&O insurance expense, and are borne by the Company through advancement and indemnification. The Board believes Nevada’s statutory framework, together with the exclusive-forum provisions in the Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws, should reduce opportunistic internal-affairs litigation without changing the Company’s business or the economics of its outstanding securities.

 

Director and officer protections. The Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws provide for exculpation, indemnification and advancement to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, including as the NRS may later be amended to broaden those protections. The Board believes clearer statutory protection helps the Company retain and attract directors and officers. The Audit Committee specifically considered whether those protections confer a non-ratable benefit on current directors and officers and concluded they do not. The provisions apply to the office, not to particular individuals, and are consistent in purpose with protections already available under Delaware law and the Company’s existing documents, as updated for Nevada.

 

Franchise tax. The Company currently has a Delaware franchise-tax assessment of approximately $200,000 for the current fiscal year, of which approximately $120,000 has been paid, leaving a remaining balance of approximately $80,000. That remaining balance remains payable and is expected to be settled in connection with the conversion and the Company’s withdrawal from Delaware. After the Effective Time, the Company will no longer accrue annual Delaware franchise tax. Nevada’s ongoing cost is expected to be an annual state business-license fee plus the fee to file the annual list of officers and directors, which together are expected to be substantially lower than the Company’s recent Delaware franchise-tax burden.

 

Continuity of the enterprise and the capital structure. The conversion is a continuation of the same entity. Nasdaq listing, OTC quotation of Series 1 Preferred, contracts, subsidiaries, employees and public-company reporting are intended to continue without interruption. The Series C 10.01 voting formula and the Series 1 dividend, liquidation and redemption terms are being placed in the Nevada Articles rather than restated in separate certificates of designation.

 

No added Nevada takeover statutes. The Company is opting out of Nevada’s combinations-with-interested-stockholders statute (NRS 78.411 to 78.444) and control-share statute (NRS 78.378 to 78.3793). The Nevada Reincorporation is not being used to add those statutes.

 

CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEVADA REINCORPORATION

 

The Nevada Reincorporation may not produce the benefits the Board expects. Nevada has less judicial precedent than Delaware. Outcomes in novel disputes may be less predictable than they would be in the Court of Chancery.

 

Stockholders may challenge the conversion under Delaware law. The Company may incur defense costs, and a court could delay the transaction or impose conditions. The Board may abandon the Plan of Conversion before the Effective Time.

 

Directors and officers may be alleged to have interests different from other stockholders because Nevada law and the Nevada Articles provide robust exculpation, indemnification and advancement. The Audit Committee considered that potential interest and still recommended the transaction. The allegation may nevertheless be made.

 

Certain stockholder rights will change because Nevada law, not Delaware law, will govern the Company’s internal affairs. Material differences are summarized below. Among them: removal of a director without cause under NRS 78.335 requires not less than two-thirds of the voting power unless the articles provide a lower threshold, and the Nevada Articles do not lower that threshold; statutory books-and-records inspection under the NRS is narrower than DGCL § 220 for an Exchange Act reporting company; and specified internal-affairs claims will be subject to the exclusive-forum provisions in the Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws.

 

7

 

 

The Company will incur legal, filing, printing, mailing, transfer-agent, FINRA and related costs. A substantial portion of those costs will have been incurred once this Information Statement is mailed, whether or not the conversion is completed. Unanticipated costs may arise, including in connection with settling the outstanding Delaware franchise tax, FINRA processing for CETXP, or any third-party consent.

 

Nasdaq listing of CETX and OTC quotation of CETXP are expected to continue, but continued listing and quotation remain subject to the ordinary requirements of Nasdaq and OTC Markets, which are independent of domicile. FINRA may request additional information or delay processing of the CETXP company-related action. The Company does not expect that process to prevent closing, but it can affect the timing of OTC vendor updates.

 

There can be no assurance that D&O insurance premiums will decline.

 

PRINCIPAL TERMS; WHAT OCCURS AT THE EFFECTIVE TIME

 

The Nevada Reincorporation will not create a new issuer. By operation of DGCL § 266 and NRS Chapter 92A:

 

  all rights, privileges, powers, property and claims of the Delaware corporation will remain vested in the Nevada corporation;
  all debts, liabilities and duties of the Delaware corporation will remain obligations of the Nevada corporation and may be enforced against it;
  each outstanding Delaware share of Common Stock, Series C Preferred and Series 1 Preferred will become one Nevada share of the same class or series;
  no appraisal or dissenters’ cash-out is being paid;
  employee benefit plans, indemnification arrangements and commercial contracts will continue as plans and contracts of the Nevada corporation; and
  to the extent a third-party consent is required, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain it and does not expect any required consent to prevent the Nevada Reincorporation.

 

CERTAIN MATTERS THAT WILL NOT CHANGE

 

Business, jobs and headquarters. No change in headquarters in Hauppauge, New York, or in the Company’s business, employees, offices, properties, management, or the identity of directors and officers.

 

SEC status. The Company will remain an Exchange Act reporting company and will continue to file periodic and current reports with the Commission.

 

Listing and quotation. Common Stock is expected to remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market as CETX. Series 1 Preferred is expected to remain quoted on the OTCID as CETXP.

 

Accounting. The conversion is a continuation of the same reporting entity. The Company does not expect material accounting consequences other than expensing transaction costs.

 

Capitalization economics. Par values, authorized amounts, the Series C voting formula, Series 1 economic terms, and outstanding warrant and option terms are intended to be unchanged.

 

ANTI-TAKEOVER IMPLICATIONS

 

A change in domicile can have takeover effects because the statutory toolkit changes. The Company has opted out of Nevada’s interested-stockholder combinations statute and control-share statute, which are the two Nevada statutes most often described as anti-takeover. Remaining features that can affect a change-of-control effort include Board-filled vacancies, the NRS 78.335 two-thirds vote to remove directors without cause, blank-check preferred, advance-notice bylaws, exclusive forum, and the existing Series C Preferred super-voting structure. That Series C structure already concentrates voting power and is not being increased by the Nevada Reincorporation.

 

The Board is not adopting the Nevada Reincorporation as a response to a known takeover attempt.

CERTAIN DIFFERENCES IN STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS UNDER DELAWARE AND NEVADA LAW

 

The DGCL and the NRS are similar in many respects. They are not identical. The following summarizes differences the Board considers most relevant. It is not complete. The NRS, the DGCL, the Nevada Articles and the Nevada Bylaws control.

 

Fiduciary duties and business judgment. Delaware duties of care and loyalty are developed largely through case law. Nevada codifies the standards applicable to directors and officers in NRS 78.138 and related provisions, including a statutory presumption that they act in good faith, on an informed basis, and with a view to the interests of the corporation. Nevada also permits directors and officers, in exercising those powers, to consider constituencies in addition to stockholders.

 

Exculpation. Both states permit charter provisions eliminating or limiting monetary liability of directors for duty-of-care claims, subject to statutory carve-outs. Nevada’s statute also addresses officers. The Nevada Articles eliminate or limit the liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, including as the NRS may be amended.

 

Indemnification and advancement. Both states permit broad indemnification and advancement. The Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws require indemnification and advancement to the fullest extent permitted by NRS 78.7502, 78.751 and 78.752, with survival after a person leaves office.

 

Director removal. Under the DGCL, directors of an unclassified board are generally removable with or without cause by a majority of the voting power. Under NRS 78.335, removal of a director requires not less than two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, except that the articles may reduce that threshold to not less than a majority. The Nevada Articles do not reduce that threshold.

 

Vacancies. Both states permit the board to fill vacancies. The Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws provide that vacancies, including newly created directorships, are filled by the Board.

 

Cumulative voting. Neither the current Delaware certificate nor the Nevada Articles permits cumulative voting.

 

Action by written consent. Both states permit stockholder action by written consent if the governing documents allow it. The Company is preserving that right.

 

Special meetings. The Nevada Bylaws continue to permit the Chair, the Chief Executive Officer or the Board to call a special meeting. Stockholders are not granted a right to call a special meeting.

 

Quorum and proxies. The Nevada Bylaws set the stockholder quorum at a majority of the voting power entitled to vote. NRS 78.355 generally limits an undated proxy to six months and a dated proxy to seven years unless the proxy provides a different period. The Nevada Bylaws follow the NRS.

 

Inspection rights. DGCL § 220 gives a stockholder a qualified right to inspect books and records for a proper purpose. NRS inspection of the stock ledger, articles and bylaws is available to a holder of record for at least six months or a holder of at least 5%. Broader financial-record inspection under NRS 78.257 is limited to holders of at least 15% and is generally unavailable to stockholders of a company that files Exchange Act reports. As an Exchange Act reporting company, the Company’s stockholders will have narrower statutory inspection rights after the conversion than under DGCL § 220.

 

Business combinations / interested stockholders. DGCL § 203 restricts certain business combinations with 15% interested stockholders for three years unless exceptions apply. Nevada’s combinations statute is different in scope and timing. The Nevada Articles provide that the Company elects not to be governed by NRS 78.411 to 78.444. After the Effective Time, neither DGCL § 203 nor the Nevada combinations statute will apply.

 

Control-share acquisitions. Delaware has no analogue to Nevada’s control-share statute. In accordance with NRS 78.378, the Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws provide that NRS 78.378 to 78.3793 shall not apply to the Company.

 

9

 

 

Appraisal / dissenters’ rights. Holders of Common Stock listed on Nasdaq are not entitled to appraisal rights under DGCL § 262 because of the market-out in § 262(b). Holders of Series C Preferred and Series 1 Preferred who have executed the written consent are not entitled to appraisal rights under DGCL § 262. The Company does not believe dissenters’ rights under NRS Chapter 92A apply to this inbound conversion of a Delaware corporation. Neither the existing Delaware documents nor the Nevada Articles or Nevada Bylaws grant extra statutory appraisal or dissenters’ rights. After the Company is a Nevada corporation, future fundamental transactions will be governed by NRS 92A.380 and 92A.390.

 

Exclusive forum. The Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws provide that, unless the Company consents in writing to another forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada is the exclusive forum for specified derivative, fiduciary-duty, NRS, charter, bylaw and internal-affairs claims, with a fallback to another Nevada state court or a federal district court in Nevada if that court lacks jurisdiction. Federal district courts of the United States are the exclusive forum for Securities Act claims. The provision does not apply to Exchange Act claims. Stockholders are deemed to have notice of and to have consented to those provisions.

 

Dividends and distributions. Both states restrict distributions that would render the corporation insolvent. NRS 78.288 uses a statutory solvency test. The Nevada Articles do not authorize distributions forbidden by the NRS.

 

Amendments. The Company reserves the right to amend the Nevada Articles in the manner provided by the NRS. Any amendment of the indemnification and exculpation provisions is subject to the survival language in those provisions.

 

CERTAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CURRENT DELAWARE DOCUMENTS AND THE NEVADA ARTICLES AND BYLAWS

 

The Nevada Articles and Nevada Bylaws were drafted to preserve the Company’s existing capital structure and controlled-company voting while conforming the documents to the NRS and to current public-company practice. Document-level changes include:

 

  embedding Series A, Series C and Series 1 terms in the Nevada Articles rather than in separate certificates of designation;
  a continuation clause reciting that the Nevada corporation is the continuation of the Delaware corporation;
  the statutory opt-outs described above;
  aligned exclusive-forum language in the Articles and the Bylaws;
  a contemporary advance-notice and Rule 14a-19 regime in the Nevada Bylaws;
  remote-meeting procedures consistent with NRS 78.320;
  indemnification and advancement drafted to the NRS; and
  director removal aligned to the NRS 78.335 default.

 

Written consent is preserved. There is no classified board.

 

FRANCHISE TAX SAVINGS AND FILING FEES

 

Delaware imposes an annual franchise tax on domestic corporations. The Company currently has a Delaware franchise-tax assessment of approximately $200,000 for the current fiscal year, of which approximately $120,000 has been paid, leaving a remaining balance of approximately $80,000. That amount is an obligation of the Delaware corporation and is expected to be paid or otherwise settled in connection with the conversion and withdrawal from Delaware.

 

After the Effective Time, the Company will not be a Delaware domestic corporation and will not accrue further annual Delaware franchise tax. Nevada charges an annual business-license fee and a fee to file the annual list of officers and directors. Those recurring Nevada fees are expected to be substantially lower than the Company’s recent Delaware franchise-tax expense.

 

One-time costs include Delaware and Nevada filing fees, legal fees, transfer-agent coordination, FINRA processing for CETXP, printing and mailing of this Information Statement, and related administrative expense. Those costs are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial condition, but they are in addition to settlement of the outstanding Delaware franchise-tax balance.

 

10

 

 

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

The Nevada Reincorporation is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended — a mere change in identity, form or place of organization. The Company expects that neither the Company nor stockholders who receive Nevada Common Stock, Nevada Series C Preferred or Nevada Series 1 Preferred solely in exchange for the corresponding Delaware securities will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Tax basis and holding period in the Nevada shares are expected to be the same as in the Delaware shares surrendered, provided those shares are held as capital assets at the Effective Time.

 

This discussion is general information only. It does not address all U.S. federal tax consequences, does not address state, local or foreign tax, and does not address special rules applicable to particular holders, including non-U.S. holders, tax-exempt holders, dealers, insurance companies, holders who acquired shares as compensation, and holders who hold shares as part of a straddle or other integrated transaction. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors. The Company has not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service.

 

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS

 

The Audit Committee and the Board considered whether any director or officer would receive a benefit from the Nevada Reincorporation that is not shared by stockholders generally. They did not identify a non-ratable economic benefit. Directors and officers will hold the same number of equity securities after the conversion as before, on the same economic terms.

 

It may nevertheless be alleged that directors and officers have an interest in reduced personal litigation exposure under Nevada law and the Nevada Articles. The Audit Committee took that potential interest into account and still recommended the transaction. Mr. Govil, who delivered the written consent, has a controlling voting position through the Series C Preferred both before and after the Nevada Reincorporation. That control is preserved, not created, by the transaction.

 

No director or officer will receive a bonus, option grant or other special compensation because of the Nevada Reincorporation.

 

EFFECT ON STOCKHOLDERS; NO EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

 

The Nevada Reincorporation will occur automatically at the Effective Time. Stockholders will not be required to exchange certificates or book-entry positions. Outstanding certificates and Direct Registration System positions representing Delaware Common Stock, Series C Preferred or Series 1 Preferred will, from and after the Effective Time, represent the same number of shares of the corresponding class or series of the Nevada corporation. Any restrictive legend on an outstanding certificate or book-entry position will continue to apply to the corresponding Nevada shares.

 

Banks, brokers, custodians and other nominees that hold shares in street name will be notified of the Nevada Reincorporation through ordinary DTC and transfer-agent channels. Stockholders who hold shares through a nominee and who have questions should contact that nominee.

 

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE UNLESS AND UNTIL SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED TO DO SO BY THE COMPANY OR THE TRANSFER AGENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT PRESENTLY INTEND TO REQUIRE AN EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock and our Series 1 Preferred is ClearTrust, LLC, 16540 Pointe Village Drive, Suite 205, Lutz, Florida 33558, telephone (813) 235-4490.

Unless otherwise stated, the address for each beneficial owner is 135 Fell Court, Hauppauge, NY 11788.

 

Name of Beneficial Owner  Common Stock   Series 1 Preferred Stock   Series C Preferred Stock 
Directors and Executive Officers  Number of Shares Owned   Percent of Class(1)   Number of Shares Owned   Percent of Class(1)(2)   Number of Shares Owned   Percent of Class(1)(3)

* Less than one percent of the outstanding shares of the applicable class.

 

(1) Except as otherwise noted, percentages of Common Stock are determined on the basis of 1,721,141 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, plus securities deemed outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under Rule 13d-3, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities owned by certain family members and of securities that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days, including shares subject to currently exercisable options or warrants.

 

(2) Voting-power percentages are determined on the basis of (i) one vote per share of Common Stock outstanding, (ii) the aggregate votes of the 50,000 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred, calculated as the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding multiplied by 10.01, and (iii) two votes per outstanding share of Series 1 Preferred.

 

12

 

 

(3) Pursuant to the designation of the Series C Preferred, each issued and outstanding share of Series C Preferred is entitled to the number of votes equal to (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 10.01, divided by (ii) the total number of shares of Series C Preferred outstanding at the time of such vote, voting together with Common Stock as a single class on any and all matters presented to stockholders, including the election of directors.

 

(4) Figures for Mr. Govil consist of the Common Stock, Series C Preferred and Series 1 Preferred he beneficially owns. As described above, the outstanding Series C Preferred as a class is entitled to an aggregate number of votes equal to the outstanding Common Stock multiplied by 10.01. Each outstanding share of Series 1 Preferred is entitled to two votes.

 

(5) Based on reports filed with the SEC and information available to the Company, no person or group other than Mr. Govil beneficially owns more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities. The most recent Schedule 13G/A filed with respect to the Company’s Common Stock (Intracoastal Capital LLC, Mitchell P. Kopin and Daniel B. Asher, filed August 13, 2026) reported beneficial ownership of approximately 3.5% of the Common Stock through a warrant and stated that the reporting persons hold 5% or less of the class.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

OF

CEMTREX, INC.

(a Delaware corporation) (the “Company”)

 

 

1. Evaluation of Potential Redomestication and Recommendation to the Board

 

WHEREAS, on August 26, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) delegated to the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee” or the “Committee”) the authority and responsibility to review, study, and evaluate the relative advantages, disadvantages, risks, and strategic implications of the Company remaining a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as compared to converting into a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (or another jurisdiction), and to make a recommendation to the full Board with respect thereto;

 

WHEREAS, the Audit Committee has undertaken a thorough evaluation of a potential redomestication of the Company from Delaware to Nevada by statutory conversion under Section 266 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the applicable provisions of Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”);

 

WHEREAS, in the course of its evaluation, the Audit Committee has:

 

  reviewed and discussed materials prepared by management and the Company’s outside legal counsel regarding the comparative corporate laws of Delaware and Nevada;
  considered recent developments in Delaware corporate law and jurisprudence, including the continued volume of stockholder litigation and the evolving application of fiduciary-duty standards;
  evaluated Nevada’s corporate statutes, including the codified business-judgment rule (NRS 78.138), the broader statutory protections available to directors and officers, the more predictable statutory framework governing internal corporate affairs, and the absence of a corporate franchise tax;
  assessed the potential impact of a redomestication on the Company’s ability to attract and retain qualified directors and officers, the risk of unmeritorious or nuisance stockholder litigation, and the overall legal certainty available to the Company in conducting its business;
  confirmed that a statutory conversion would result in the continuation of the same legal entity (with the same tax identification number, assets, liabilities, contracts, employees, and Nasdaq listing under the symbol CETX), with shares of common stock, Series C Preferred Stock, and Series 1 Preferred Stock converting on a one-for-one basis and with identical rights and preferences; and
  considered the modest costs associated with the transaction relative to the anticipated long-term benefits;

 

WHEREAS, the Audit Committee has concluded that Nevada’s corporate law regime offers a more predictable and business-oriented legal environment than Delaware, that the codified statutory protections under the NRS are likely to reduce the distraction and expense of unmeritorious litigation, and that such an environment would better enable the Company’s directors and officers to focus on long-term value creation for all stockholders;

 

16

 

 

WHEREAS, the Audit Committee has further concluded that the proposed redomestication is not expected to result in any material change to the Company’s business, operations, management, employees, assets, liabilities, or material contracts, and that the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “CETX” without interruption;

 

WHEREAS, the Audit Committee has also concluded the Company would save more than $200,000 of franchise tax savings under a redomestication of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada;

 

WHEREAS, after careful consideration of the foregoing factors, the Audit Committee has determined that a redomestication of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada by conversion is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Audit Committee hereby recommends that the Board of Directors:

 

  1. Approve and adopt a Plan of Conversion providing for the conversion of the Company from a Delaware corporation into a Nevada corporation pursuant to DGCL § 266 and NRS 92A.195 (and related provisions), substantially in the form previously circulated to the Committee (the “Plan of Conversion”);
  2. Approve and adopt the form of Articles of Incorporation of the resulting Nevada corporation (including Certificates of Designation for the Series C Preferred Stock and Series 1 Preferred Stock that preserve the existing rights, preferences, and voting formulas) and the form of Bylaws of the resulting Nevada corporation (collectively, the “Nevada Governing Documents”);
  3. Declare that the redomestication (including the Plan of Conversion and the Nevada Governing Documents) is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders;
  4. Recommend that the stockholders of the Company approve the redomestication, the Plan of Conversion, and the Nevada Governing Documents; and
  5. Authorize the officers of the Company to take all actions necessary or appropriate to effect the redomestication following stockholder approval, including the filing of the required conversion documents with the Delaware and Nevada Secretaries of State, coordination with the Company’s transfer agent and Nasdaq, and the preparation and filing of all required SEC disclosures (including a Schedule 14C Information Statement and any required Form 8-K).

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Audit Committee recommends that the Board retain the ability to abandon the redomestication at any time prior to its effectiveness if the Board determines that such abandonment would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Chair of the Audit Committee (or any other member designated by the Committee) is authorized to report these findings and this recommendation to the full Board and to take any further action consistent with these resolutions that the Chair or such member deems necessary or appropriate.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that any actions previously taken by the Audit Committee or any of its members in furtherance of the evaluation described above are hereby ratified, confirmed, and approved in all respects.

 

Approval

 

Dated: September 1, 2026

 

The undersigned, being all the members of the Audit Committee, waive the required notice of meeting and consent to all actions taken hereby.

  1. Designation and Amount. The number of shares constituting the Series 1 Preferred shall be 4,000,000, which number may be increased or decreased by the Board of Directors without a vote of stockholders; provided, however, that such number may not be decreased below the number of then outstanding shares of Series 1 Preferred.
     
  2. Ranking. The Series 1 Preferred shall, with respect to payment of dividends, redemption payments, and rights upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, rank (a) senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Common Stock, and any other class of capital stock the Corporation issues in the future unless the terms of that stock provide that it ranks senior to any or all of the Series 1 Preferred; (b) on a parity with any class of capital stock the Corporation issues in the future the terms of which provide that it will rank on a parity with any or all of the Series 1 Preferred; (c) junior to each class of capital stock issued in the future the terms of which expressly provide that such capital stock will rank senior to the Series 1 Preferred; and (d) junior to all of the Corporation’s existing and future indebtedness.
     
  3. Dividends. Dividends on Series 1 Preferred will be paid out of legally available funds at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) of the Preference Amount (defined below) per year, or $1.00 per share of Series 1 Preferred, from the issuance date of the Series 1 Preferred through the date of redemption or surrender thereof. Dividends on Series 1 Preferred shall be fully cumulative, accruing, without interest, and shall be payable semiannually in arrears on the last day of March and September in each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”), except that if such date is not a Business Day then the dividend shall be payable on the first immediately succeeding Business Day. Dividends may be paid in cash or, at the Corporation’s option, in additional fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series 1 Preferred valued at the Preference Amount (a “Stock Dividend”). The Corporation shall not issue fractional shares of Series 1 Preferred in respect of Stock Dividends but shall round up to the next whole share. Dividends shall accrue regardless of whether the Corporation has earnings, whether there are funds legally available therefor, and/or whether declared. No interest shall be payable with respect to any dividend payment that may be in arrears. For purposes of this Section 4.6, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York, New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

 

30

 

 

  4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of Series 1 Preferred shall vote together with the holders of the Common Stock (and not as a separate class) at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, and each holder of Series 1 Preferred shall have two (2) votes for each share of Series 1 Preferred owned by such holder on the applicable record date as though each share of Series 1 Preferred were two shares of Common Stock. Holders of the Series 1 Preferred shall vote as a class on any amendment altering or changing the powers, preferences, or special rights of the Series 1 Preferred so as to affect them adversely.
     
  5. No Conversion. The Series 1 Preferred shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital stock of the Corporation.
     
  6. Liquidation Preference. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, each holder of Series 1 Preferred shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution, $10.00 per share (the “Preference Amount”), plus accrued and unpaid dividends, in preference to any distribution to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. After payment of the Preference Amount, the remaining assets shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock on a pro rata basis. A merger, consolidation, or sale of substantially all assets shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up for purposes of this Section.
     
  7. Redemption.
     
  (a) The Corporation may redeem any or all of the Series 1 Preferred at any time and from time to time at its option by giving notice (by press release, public announcement, mailing, or otherwise). The redemption price shall be the Preference Amount plus any accrued but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption. If fewer than all outstanding shares are redeemed, the Corporation may select the shares proportionally, by lot, or by any other equitable method.
     
  (b) From and after the redemption date (if funds necessary for redemption are available and have been irrevocably deposited or set aside), the redeemed shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding, the holders shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares, and all rights with respect to such shares shall terminate except the right to receive the redemption price, without interest.
     
  8. Other Rights. The holders of Series 1 Preferred shall have no preemptive or other preferential rights to purchase or subscribe to any stock, obligations, warrants, or other securities of the Corporation, except as expressly provided herein.

 

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. The number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors. Any newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors for any reason shall be filled exclusively by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification, or removal.

The Corporation shall advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any such director or officer in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The rights conferred by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.

Notice may be given by mail, overnight delivery, or electronic transmission in accordance with NRS 78.370. If mailed, notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at the address appearing on the records of the Corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, or the transfer agent that notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

Section 2.5 Quorum.

 

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any particular matter), shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present, the chair of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it shall be deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment thereof unless a new record date is or must be set.

 

Section 2.6 Adjournments.

 

Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned from time to time by the chair of the meeting or by the stockholders present or represented by proxy. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (including an adjournment taken to address a technical failure to convene or continue a meeting using remote communication), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place (if any) and means of remote communication (if any) thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

Section 2.7 Voting and Proxies.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such stockholder and to the number of votes provided in the Articles of Incorporation for any series of Preferred Stock. There shall be no cumulative voting. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy.

 

No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after six (6) months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period, which shall not exceed seven (7) years, except as otherwise provided for irrevocable proxies under NRS 78.355. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by remote communication, or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation or a later-dated proxy.

Section 2.8 Voting Procedures and Required Vote.

 

The vote on any matter, including the election of directors, need not be by written ballot. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Section 2.9 Inspectors of Election.

 

The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, may, and shall if required by applicable law, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors. If no inspector or alternate is able to act, the person presiding at the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors. Each inspector shall take and sign an oath to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality. The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, retain a record of challenges, and certify their determinations. No candidate for office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

 

Section 2.10 Organization.

 

Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chair of the Board, or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chair designated by the Board of Directors. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chair of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

 

Section 2.11 Conduct of Meetings.

 

The Board of Directors may adopt such rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations, the chair of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules may include: (i) an agenda or order of business; (ii) rules for maintaining order and safety; (iii) limitations on attendance and participation to stockholders of record, their proxies, and such other persons as the chair shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry after the meeting has begun; and (v) limitations on time allotted to questions or comments. The chair shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare that a matter was not properly brought before the meeting, and any such matter shall not be transacted.

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting as required by the NRS during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation or on a reasonably accessible electronic network. If the meeting is held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the meeting. If the meeting is held solely by remote communication, the list shall be open for examination as provided by the NRS. Except as provided by applicable law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list or to vote at the meeting.

Section 2.13 Action by Written Consent.

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on the action (or such greater proportion as would be required to take such action at a meeting) and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Nevada, 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, in accordance with NRS 78.320.

(b) For any nominations or any other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to Section 2.14.1(a)(iii), the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such proposed business (other than nominations) must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

 

37

 

 

(c) To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice under this Section 2.14.1 must set forth:

 

(i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, (A) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (B) such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected;

 

(ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, if such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person, individually or in the aggregate, including any anticipated benefit to the stockholder or the Stockholder Associated Person therefrom;

 

(iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and any Stockholder Associated Person, (A) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such Stockholder Associated Person, if any, (B) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are, directly or indirectly, owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such Stockholder Associated Person, (C) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of shares of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (D) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person has a right to vote any shares of the Corporation, (E) any short interest in any security of the Corporation, (F) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (G) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, and (H) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such stockholder’s or Stockholder Associated Person’s immediate family sharing the same household;

 

(iv) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination;

 

(v) a representation whether the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person intends or is part of a group which intends (A) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (B) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination; and

(vi) if the nominee is to be submitted for inclusion on the Corporation’s universal proxy card pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, a written representation that the stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19, and a statement that the Corporation may rely on such representation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no stockholder shall be entitled to submit any nominee for inclusion on the Corporation’s universal proxy card unless such stockholder has provided the representation required by this Section 2.14.1(c)(vi). If any stockholder provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five (5) business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it has met all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-19. Without limiting the other provisions of this Section 2.14, unless otherwise required by law, if any stockholder provides such notice and either (A) fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) under the Exchange Act, or (B) fails to timely provide reasonable evidence of such compliance as required by this Section 2.14, then such stockholder’s nomination of each such proposed nominee shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that the nominee is included as a nominee in the Corporation’s proxy statement, notice of meeting, or other proxy materials for any stockholder meeting (or any supplement thereto), and the Corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for such stockholder’s nominees.

 

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee. In addition, a stockholder seeking to nominate a director or bring other business before an annual meeting shall promptly provide any additional information reasonably requested by the Corporation to determine compliance with this Section 2.14.

 

2.14.2 Special Meetings of Stockholders.

 

Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or (ii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.14, on the record date for the meeting, and at the time of the special meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) complies with the notice procedures and disclosure requirements set forth in this Section 2.14 as to such director nominations. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 2.14.1(c) shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

 

2.14.3 General.

 

(a) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.14 shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.14. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chair of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed in accordance with this Section 2.14 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 2.14, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded, including whether any stockholder has complied with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act and this Section 2.14.

 

39

 

 

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.14, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person acting in concert with such stockholder with respect to the Corporation, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder (other than a stockholder that is a depositary) and (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.14; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.14. Nothing in this Section 2.14 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or any rights of holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock to nominate or elect directors pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Articles of Incorporation.

 

(d) If information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.14 by any stockholder proposing a nominee for election as a director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders shall be inaccurate in any material respect, such inaccuracy may be grounds for the chair of the meeting to disregard such nomination or proposal. Upon request by the Corporation, any stockholder proposing a nominee shall update and supplement the information previously provided to the Corporation as necessary so that such information shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the update required to be made as of the record date, and not later than eight (8) days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the update required to be made as of ten (10) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
