This
Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the “Company,” “we” or “us”), to advise them of the corporate action
that has been authorized by written consent of the holders of at least 51% of the voting power (the “Consenting Stockholders”)

NOTICE
TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTIONS APPROVED
BY
CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
AMENDMENT
TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
Amendment
to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to Increase the Authorized Shares of Common Stock of the Company to 10,000,000,000
Shares
The
Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Board of
Directors to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 4,000,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares. The
Board of Directors believes that authorizing it to effectuate this increase in the number of authorized shares is in the best
interest of the Company and its stockholders because it will enable the Company to consummate the acquisition of Cougar Express
and/or keep available for issuance, additional shares of its common stock. The Company does not currently have sufficient authorized
common stock to raise capital needed to consummate the Cougar Acquisition. Upon effectiveness of the 2021 Amendment, the Company
will cause all committed shares to be issued, or reserved for issuance, as applicable.
The
Company is currently engaged in a fundamental restructuring in order to achieve financial health and potential profitability.
Pursuant to its restructuring plan, on January 15, 2021, the Company, through a newly-formed, wholly-owned, subsidiary, Shyp FX,
Inc., simultaneously executed an asset purchase agreement (“APA”) and closed a transaction to acquire substantially
all of the assets and certain liabilities of Double D Trucking, Inc., a northern New Jersey-based logistics provider specializing
in servicing Federal Express (“FedEx”) over the past 25 years (“DDTI”), for $400,000, consisting of $100,000
in cash and a promissory note of $400,000. The principal assets involved in the DDTI acquisition were vehicles for cargo transport,
system equipment for vehicle tracking and navigation of vehicles, and delivery route rights together with assumption of associated
customer relationships. The acquisition of DDTI has made the Company an approved contracted service provider of FedEx, which fits
in well with the Company’s current geographic coverage area and may lead to additional expansion opportunities within the
FedEx network.
On
November 11, 2020, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TLSS Acquisition, Inc. (the “Acquisition Sub”), entered
into an asset purchase agreement dated as of November 6, 2020 (“APA”), to acquire substantially all of the assets
and certain liabilities of Cougar Express, Inc., a New York-based full-service logistics provider specializing in pickup, warehousing
and delivery services in the tri-state area (“Cougar Express”). The Company plans for the APA to be assigned to a
new wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Operating Sub”) prior to closing Cougar Express is a family-owned full-service transportation
business that has been in operation for more than 30 years providing one-to-four person deliveries and offering white glove services;
it utilizes its own fleet of trucks, warehouse/driver/office personnel and on-call subcontractors from its convenient and secure
New York JFK airport area location, allowing it to pick-up and deliver throughout the New York tri-state area; it serves a diverse
base of 50 commercial accounts, which are freight forwarders that work with some of the most notable retail businesses in the
country; and it has had accounts with some customers for more than 20 years.
The
APA provides for a purchase price equal to $2,350,000 plus 50% of the difference between the accounts receivable acquired and
the accounts payable assumed. The Operating Sub will also assume indebtedness on certain truck leases and other equipment and
service plans for equipment and services that are used by Cougar Express and which will continue to be used by the Operating Sub
post-closing. After closing, the seller (the current Cougar Express, Inc. corporation) and its owner would be barred from competing
with the seller’s former business for five years.
The
transaction was scheduled to close no later than January 15, 2021, subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence by
the Company to confirm the accuracy of all of Cougar Express’s representations and warranties in the APA and that Cougar
Express has not suffered a material adverse change in its business, and also subject to Cougar Express’s procuring an acceptable
landlord’s consent to Cougar Express’s assignment of the lease for its operating facility to the Acquisition Sub,
and also subject to the Company’s securing financing for the acquisition. By amendments dated January 15, 2021 and February
17, 2021, for extension fees aggregating $50,000, which would be a credit to purchase price at closing, the closing was adjourned
until no later than March 1, 2021 to give the Company additional time to secure financing;
Senior
management deems it essential to the Company’s restructuring to consummate the Cougar Acquisition, inasmuch as Cougar Express
fits the Company’s current business plan, given Cougar Express’s demographic location, services offered, and diversified
customer base, and given that it would provide the Company with a long-standing, well-run profitable operation as a first step
to begin replacing the revenue lost as a result of Amazon’s terminating its delivery service provider business; and senior
management believes that, because Cougar Express is strategically based in New York and serves the tri-state area, organic growth
opportunities will be available for expanding its footprint into the Company’s primary base of operations in New Jersey,
as well as efficiencies that could be derived by leveraging Shypdirect operational capabilities.
The
Company, working closely with its investment banker, has diligently sought debt vehicles in order to close on the Cougar Express
acquisition and determined that debt is simply not available to do so, and therefore the Company will need to raise capital by
issuing equity.
Stockholder
approval for the 2021 Amendment was obtained on February 23, 2021from stockholders that hold at least 51% of the voting power
of the stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon, as of the Record Date of February 23, 2021. These consents constituted a
sufficient number of votes to approve the 2021 Amendment under the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,
bylaws and Nevada law.
Section
320 of Chapter 78 of the NRS provides that, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws,
any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action which may be
taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without
a vote, if consents in writing shall be 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. The Company’s bylaws contain a provision that
expressly permits stockholders to take actions by written consent of 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. Accordingly, the written consent
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power entitled to vote on an increase of the number of authorized shares
of common stock is sufficient to approve the matter listed above.
The
increased capital will provide the Board of Directors with the ability to issue additional shares of stock without further vote
of the stockholders of TLSS, except as provided under Nevada corporate law or under the rules of any national securities exchange
on which shares of stock of TLSS are then listed. Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the
Company stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities which may be issued by the Company, which
means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of capital stock of the Company in order to
maintain their proportionate ownership of the Company’s stock.
Issuance
of any additional shares of common stock may both dilute the equity interest and the earnings per share of existing holders of
the common stock. Such dilution may be substantial depending upon the amount of shares issued. The newly authorized shares will
have voting and other rights identical to those of the currently issued common stock. However, the increase can have a dilutive
effect on the voting power of existing stockholders.
The
authorization of additional capital, under certain circumstances, may have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the intent
of the Board of Directors. For example, it may be possible for the Board of Directors to delay or impede a takeover or transfer
of control of TLSS by causing such additional authorized shares to be issued to holders who might side with the Board of Directors
in opposing a takeover bid that the Board of Directors determines is not in the best interests of TLSS and our stockholders. The
increased authorized capital therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging
initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the increased capital may limit the opportunity for Company stockholders
to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger
proposal. The increased authorized capital may have the effect of permitting the Company’s current management, including
the current Board of Directors, to retain its position, and place it in a better position to resist changes that stockholders
may wish to make if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of the Company’s business. However, the Board of Directors did
not propose the increase in the Company’s authorized capital with the intent that it be utilized as a type of antitakeover
device.
The
relative voting and other rights of holders of the common stock will not be altered by the authorization of additional shares
of common stock. Each share of common stock will continue to entitle its owner to one vote.
As
a result of the increased authorization, the potential number of shares of common stock outstanding will be increased.
SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
number and percentage of shares beneficially owned are determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act

of Series E Preferred Stock, and 1 share of Series F Preferred Stock were outstanding. The address of all of our executive officers
and directors is in care of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. at 5500 Military Trail, Jupiter, Florida 33458. The common
stock has voting power equal to one vote per share. The Series B Preferred Stock has no voting rights. The Series F Preferred
Stock has voting power equal to 51% of the number of votes eligible to vote at any special or annual meeting of the Company’s
shareholders (with the power to take action by written consent in lieu of a shareholders meeting) for the sole purpose of amending
the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company
