INTRODUCTION
This
Information Statement advises stockholders of the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, and by Written Consent
of the holders a majority of the Company’s voting stock of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
(the “
Amendment
”) to cancel its 10,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, par value $0.001. A copy of
the Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as
Exhibit A
.
The
cancellation of the Company’s authorized preferred stock will become effective upon the filing of the Amendment with the
Secretary of State of Delaware, which filing will occur no less than 20 days after the date of the mailing of this Information
Statement to our stockholders.
AUTHORIZATION
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS
Under
the DGCL and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken
without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum
number of votes necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present
and voted consent to such action in writing. Accordingly, approval of the Amendment required the affirmative vote or written consent
of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
As
of February 7, 2019, the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the approval of the Amendment
and to receive a copy of this Information Statement (the “Record Date”), we had 27,821,606 shares of Common Stock
and 0 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock held.
As of the Record Date, outstanding shares represented 27,821,606 votes, all of which are attributable to Common Stock.
Our
Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Amendment, subject to stockholder approval, by unanimous
written consent on February 7, 2019, and, on February 7, 2019 we received the Written Consent from holders of our Common
Stock representing 15,239,350 voting shares, or approximately 54.77% of our outstanding voting class, approving the Amendment.
The
following table sets forth the name of the holder of the Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder,
the total number of votes that such holder voted in favor of the Amendment and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting
equity of the Company that voted in favor thereof:

Accordingly,
we have obtained all necessary corporate approval in connection with the Amendment. We are not seeking written consent from any
other stockholder, and the other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the actions described in
this Information Statement. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising stockholders of the action
approved by written consent and giving stockholders notice of the Amendment and forthcoming cancellation of our preferred stock
as required by the DGCL and the Exchange Act.
As
the Amendment was approved by written consent of the holders a majority of the Company’s voting stock, there will be no
stockholders’ meeting, and representatives of the principal accountants for the current year and for the most recently completed
fiscal year will not have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will not be available to respond to
appropriate questions from our stockholders.
We
will, following the expiration of the 20-day period mandated by Rule 14c of the Exchange Act and the provisions of the DGCL, file
the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office. The Amendment will become effective upon such filing and we
anticipate that such filing will occur approximately 20 days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.
AMENDMENT
TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
Purpose
of and Rationale for the Amendment
We
are currently authorized to issue a total of 190,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both
with a par value of $0.001. Of this amount, 27,821,606 shares of Common Stock and 0 shares of preferred stock were outstanding
as of February 7, 2019.
Our
Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to cancel our 10,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock.
As a Delaware corporation, we are required to pay Delaware franchise tax. The purpose of the cancellation is to reduce the amount
of Delaware Franchise Tax due each year.
Effect
of the Decrease of Authorized Stock
The
cancellation of our authorized preferred stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. The
Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue authorized shares of Common without requiring future stockholder
approval of such issuances. Due to the cancellation of our authorized preferred stock, in the future the Company will have fewer
shares available for issuance which may affect the Company’s ability to attract investors or raise capital. The Company,
however, believes that this is in the best interest of the shareholders to have one class of stock.
Interests
of Certain Persons in the Action
Certain
of the Company’s officers and directors have an interest in this corporate action as a result of their ownership of shares
of our common stock, as set forth in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”
below. However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in this corporate action that are different from
or greater than those of any other of our stockholders.
DISSENTER’S
RIGHTS
Under
the DGCL, holders of our capital stock are not entitled to dissenter’s rights of appraisal with respect to a proposed amendment
to our Certificate of Incorporation, or to the adoption of the Amendment.
DISTRIBUTION
AND COSTS
We
will pay the cost of preparing, printing and distributing this Information Statement. Only one Information Statement will be delivered
to multiple stockholders sharing an address, unless contrary instructions are received from one or more of such stockholders.
Upon receipt of a written request at the address noted above, we will deliver a single copy of this Information Statement and
future stockholder communication documents to any stockholders sharing an address to which multiple copies are now delivered.
