of the voting power signed and delivered to SPGX written consents representing at least 59.1% of the voting shares of common stock

Reasons
for the Amendments to Articles
Management
believes that the Resolutions are in the best interests of SPGX and its shareholders. The amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
of SPGX to change its name is being made, in part, to assist management in expanding the business of SPGX and to focus, identify,
and assess new projects for acquisition that are global and sustainable in nature. It is management’s intent to develop
its existing assets or acquire new assets that will generate revenues for SPGX, and management will continue to focus on the development
on its existing assets. In anticipation of expanding its business, management has decided that SPGX should begin the timely process
of changing its name. Management believes that the name change will result in SPGX having a name that more accurately reflects
the expanded focus of its business.
Presently,
SPGX does not have any plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the authorized shares of common
stock for any purpose, including future acquisitions and/or financings, except for a possible private placement for working capital.
Also, SPGX is not aware of any potential change of control. See “
b. Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof
”
below for more information.
Potential
Anti-takeover Effect
Release
No. 34-15230 of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any shareholder
proposal that may be used as an anti-takeover device. However, as indicated above, the purpose of the name change is to have a
name that more accurately reflects the new focus of SPGX’s business, and not to construct or enable any anti-takeover defense
or mechanism on behalf of SPGX. The amendment is not being undertaken in response to any effort of which the Board of Directors
is aware to accumulate shares of common stock or obtain control of SPGX.
Other
than the Resolutions, the Board of Directors does not currently contemplate the adoption of any other amendments to the Articles
of Incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the control of SPGX.
SPGX
has no anti-takeover mechanisms present in its governing documents or otherwise. SPGX confirms that there are no plans or proposals
to adopt any such provisions or mechanisms or to enter into any arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.
Other
provisions of SPGX’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or
preventing a third party from acquiring control of SPGX or changing its Board of Directors and management. According to SPGX’s
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the holders of SPGX’s common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election
of SPGX’s directors. The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of SPGX’s
issued and outstanding common stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace SPGX’s
Board of Directors or for a third party to obtain control of SPGX by replacing its Board of Directors.
However,
Nevada, like many other states, permits a corporation to adopt a number of measures designed to reduce a corporation’s vulnerability
to unsolicited takeover attempts through amendment of the corporate charter or bylaws or otherwise, such as certain defensive
strategies that include, but are not limited to, the adoption of a severance plan for management and key employees, which becomes
effective upon the occurrence of a change in control, the establishment of a staggered board of directors, the elimination of
the right to remove a director other than for cause, and the authorization of preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which
may be determined by the board. None of these measures have been adopted by SPGX nor will be adopted as part of the Resolutions.
Dissenters’
Right of Appraisal
.
Neither
the Articles and By-laws of SPGX nor the Nevada Revised Statutes provide for dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection
with the Resolutions.
