PROPOSAL TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY
Currently, the Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the October 15, 2019, there were 33,646,589 shares of Common Stock outstanding, with an additional 1,967,591,506 shares needed to be reserved for the issuance upon conversion of outstanding notes. The agreements with most of the holders of the Company's convertible notes require the Company to reserve with its transfer agent a multiple of the shares which the Company may be required to issue upon the conversion of the notes. As of October 15, 2019 the Company was required to reserve for issuance approximately 2,500,000,000 shares of common stock, even though the actual number of shares which the Company would be required to issue as of October 15, 2019 upon the conversion of all outstanding notes would be 1,967,591,506 shares of common stock.
Consequently, the Company does not have sufficient shares to meet the share reserve requirements as provided by the terms of its agreements with the note holders.
As a general matter, the Board of Directors does not believe the currently available number of unissued shares of Common Stock is an adequate number of shares to assure that there will be sufficient shares available for issuance in connection with possible future acquisitions, equity and equity-based financings, possible future awards under employee benefit plans, stock dividends, stock splits, and other corporate purposes. Therefore, the Board of Directors has approved the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock as a means of providing the Company with the flexibility to act with respect to the issuance of either the Common Stock or securities exercisable for, or convertible into Common Stock in circumstances which they believe will advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders without the delay of seeking an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation at that time.
The Company currently does not have sufficient funds to fund operations and pay its debt obligations as they become due. As a result, the Board of Directors is considering, and will continue to consider, various financing options,
including the issuance of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock from time to time to raise additional capital necessary to support the future growth of the Company. As a result of the increase in authorized capital, the Board of Directors will have more flexibility to pursue opportunities to engage in possible future capital market transactions involving Common Stock or other securities convertible into Common Stock, including, without limitation, public offerings or private placements of such Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock. With the increase to 5,000,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock the Company could raise substantial funds through the issuance of convertible debt to help fund operations and pay its debt obligations. The issuance of such convertible notes and the subsequent conversion by those noteholders could cause the Company to issue substantial shares of its Common Stock, causing dilution to existing shareholders.
The additional shares of Common Stock which may be authorized for issuance may be issued for any proper purpose from time to time upon authorization by the Board of Directors, without further approval by the stockholders unless required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, rules of any trading market that the Company's Common Stock may trade on at that time. Shares may be issued for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine and as may be permitted by applicable law.
The increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock is not intended to be as a means of preventing or dissuading a change in control or takeover of the Company. However, use of these shares for such a purpose is possible. Authorized but unissued or unreserved shares of Common Stock, for example, could be issued in an effort to dilute the stock ownership and voting power of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company or could be issued to purchasers who would support the Board of Directors in opposing a takeover proposal. In addition, the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock may have the effect of discouraging a challenge for control or make it less likely that such a challenge, if attempted, would be successful. The Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company have no knowledge of any current effort to obtain control of the Company or to accumulate large amounts of Common Stock.
The holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of additional Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock.
The holders of Common Stock will not realize any dilution in their percentage of ownership of our company or their voting rights as a result of the increase. However, issuances of significant numbers of additional shares of Common Stock in the future (i) will dilute stockholders' percentage ownership of our company and (ii) if such shares are issued at prices below what current stockholders paid for their shares, may dilute the value of current stockholders' shares.
The increase in authorized capital will not change the terms of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. The additional Common Stock for which authorization is sought will have the same voting rights and liquidation rights, the same rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the Common Stock now authorized.
The Company is presently authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, If adopted, the proposal to increase the number of common shares which the Company is authorized to issue will not have any effect on the Company's preferred stock.
If the proposal to increase the Company's capitalization is approved, the Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement, will be filed with the Colorado Secretary of State.
No dissenters' or appraisal rights under Colorado law are afforded to the Company's stockholders as a result of the approval of the increase in the authorized capital.
