In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to effect the above actions as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as herein described, the Board consented to the utilization of, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the Consenting Stockholders who collectively own shares representing a majority of our Common Stock.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
1. Approve a 1:30 Reverse Stock Split;
Background:
The members of the Board of Directors and stockholders owning approximately 60.3% of the outstanding voting securities (the “Majority Shareholders”) have executed a written consent approving the corporate actions. The Majority Shareholder held of record on the Record Date 14,650,000 shares of our common stock and 675,000 shares of our Preferred Shares. Each Preferred share entitles the holder thereof to 100 votes on any matters brought to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common stock. As a result, holders of approximately 60.3% of our outstanding voting securities approved the foregoing actions. There was no other class of securities entitled to vote on these matters. Dissenting stockholders do not have any statutory appraisal rights as a result of the actions taken. The Board does not intend to solicit any proxies or consents from any other stockholders in connection with these actions. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained, and this Information Statement is furnished solely to advise stockholders of the actions taken by written consent .
Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to effect the above actions as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as herein described, the Board consented to the utilization of, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the Majority Shareholders who collectively own shares representing a majority of our Common Stock.
ACTION 1
THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
The Reverse Stock Split amendment permits (but does not require) the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock by a ratio of 1:30. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will maximize the anticipated benefits for our stockholders. In determining the exchange ratio for the Reverse stock Split, our Board of Directors took into account such factors as:
· | the initial listing requirements of any market or exchange the Company may consider applying to be listed upon; |
· | the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock; |
· | the number of shares of our common stock outstanding; |
· | the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our common stock; |
· | the anticipated impact of a particular ratio on our ability to reduce administrative and transactional costs; and |
· | prevailing general market and economic conditions. |
4 |
The Board of Directors reserves the right to elect to abandon the Reverse Stock Split, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.
The Board considered reducing the number of shares of authorized common stock in connection with the reverse stock split, but determined that the availability of additional shares may be beneficial to our Company in the future for possible issuances. The availability of additional authorized shares will allow the Board to issue shares for corporate purposes, if appropriate opportunities should arise, without further action by the stockholders or the time delay involved in obtaining stockholder approval (except to the extent that approval is otherwise required by applicable law). Such purposes could include effecting future acquisitions of other businesses through the issuance of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock and for issuance in financing transactions. We cannot be certain that the reverse stock split will have a long-term positive effect on the market price of our common stock in the future.
Background and Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split; Potential Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
The primary purpose for the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the market price of our common stock and to make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock should, absent other factors, increase the market price of our common stock. The Reverse Stock Split would also reduce certain of our costs and may facilitate trading or reduce costs, as discussed below.
Additionally, we believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock a more attractive and cost-effective investment for many investors, which will enhance the liquidity of the holders of our common stock.
Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our common stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our common stock will increase (proportionately to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split or otherwise) following the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our common stock will not decrease in the future. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split could be lower or higher than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.
Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split
If and when implemented, the reverse stock split will also have the following effects upon the number of shares of our common stock outstanding and the number of authorized and unissued shares of our common stock:
5 |
· | the number of authorized shares of common stock will not change; |
· | no scrip or fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split and any fractional shares which may be issuable will be rounded up to the nearest whole share; |
· | the per share loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased because there will be a lesser number of shares of our common stock outstanding; and |
· | the par value of the common stock will remain the same. |
The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the filing (the “Split Effective Time”) of a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The exact timing of the filing of the certificate of amendment that will effect the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by the Board of Directors based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to us and our stockholders. In addition, the Board of Directors reserves the right to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Holders of Outstanding Common Stock
The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our common stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in us, except to the extent the Reverse Stock Split would result in fractional shares, as described above. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportionate voting power, except to the extent the Reverse Stock Split would result in fractional shares. If the Reverse stock Price would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the fractional share will be rounded up to the next whole number.
Upon the effective date of the Reverse Split, each thirty (30 ) shares of the Company’s then existing issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be converted automatically into one (1) share of our post-reverse stock split Common Stock. Fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share and there will be mandatory exchange of old shares into new shares.
The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
After the Split Effective Time, our common stock will have new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) numbers, which are numbers used to identify our equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP numbers will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP numbers by following the procedures described below. After the Reverse Stock Split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act.
Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e., stockholders who hold in street name)
Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold shares of our common stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
6 |
Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e., stockholders that are registered on the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold stock certificates).
Certain of our registered holders of common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.
Stockholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action (the exchange will be automatic) to receive shares of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock.
Holders of Shares of Common Stock
Because our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets, the reverse stock split will also require processing by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) pursuant to Rule 10b-17 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in order for this action to be recognized in the market for trading purposes. Our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets at the post-split price on the effective date.
Following the reverse stock split, the share certificates representing the Old Shares will continue to be valid. In the future, new share certificates will be issued reflecting the reverse stock split, but this in no way will effect the validity of your current share certificates. After the effective date of the reverse stock split, each share certificate representing thirty (30) Old Shares will be deemed to represent One (1) New Share. Certificates representing New Shares will be issued in due course as Old Share certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to our transfer agent.
As applicable, new share certificates evidencing New Shares that are issued in exchange for Old Shares representing restricted shares will contain the same restrictive legend as on the old certificates. Also, for purposes of determining the term of the restrictive period applicable to the New Shares, the time period during which a stockholder has held their existing pre-split shares will be included in the total holding period. We will bear the costs of the issuance of the additional stock certificates.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to holders of our common stock.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our common stock that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our common stock (a “U.S. holder”). A trust may also be a U.S. holder if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person. An estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source may also be a U.S. holder.
7 |
This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to (i) persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as banks, insurance companies, thrift institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies, (ii) persons that hold our common stock as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging,” “conversion” or other integrated investment transaction for federal income tax purposes, or (iii) persons that do not hold our common stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our common stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this Information Statement. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, each holder of common stock is hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this Information Statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by such holder for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on such holder under the Internal Revenue Code; (b) any such discussion has been included by us in furtherance of the forward stock split on the terms described herein; and (c) each such holder should seek advice based on its particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
The reverse stock split should not result in any recognition of gain or loss. The holding period of the shares owned after the reverse stock split (the “ New Shares ”) will include the stockholder’s holding period for the corresponding shares of common stock (the “ Old Shares ”) owned prior to the reverse stock split. The adjusted basis of the New Shares (including the original shares) will be equal to the adjusted basis of a stockholder’s original shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the federal income tax consequences of the receipt of an additional share in lieu of a fractional interest is not clear but may result in tax liabilities which should not be material in amount in view of the low value of the fractional interest. Our beliefs regarding the tax consequence of the reverse stock split are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts will accept the positions expressed above. This summary does not purport to be complete and does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident foreign individuals, broker-dealers and tax exempt entities. The state and local tax consequences of the reverse stock split may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending upon the state in which he or she resides.

STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME LAST NAME AND ADDRESS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy and information statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy or information statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers household proxy and information materials, delivering a single proxy or information statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they are or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy or information statement, or if you currently receive multiple proxy or information statements and would prefer to participate in householding, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to National Graphite Corp, 1149 Topsail Road, Mount Pearl, Newfoundland Canada A1N 5G2
