GENERAL INFORMATION

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to the holders of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Signet International Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to Sections 14(c) and 14(f) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 14c-2 and 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, in connection with the approval of the actions described below by the written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company and by written consent of the Estate of Ernest W.

  3. to amend and restate our bylaws in the form attached to this Information Statement as Appendix B;

 

  4. to authorize (A) the filings of a Certificate of Correction and past due annual reports with the Delaware Secretary of State to correct the Certificate of Dissolution erroneously filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on March 1, 2018 and to the extent necessary to reinstate the ‎Company as a Delaware corporation in good standing, and (B) the taking of any actions deemed advisable by the Company and its counsel to cancel and ‎negate the Articles of Conversion filed in the State of Nevada‎ on February 28, 2018.

 

On March 1, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Amended and Restated Charter, the Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Reinstatement, subject to stockholder approval. The Majority Stockholders Written Consent dated as of March 1, 2022 constitutes the only stockholder approval required for the Corporate Actions under Delaware law and the Company’s charter and bylaws. As a result, no further action by any other stockholder is required to approve the Corporate Actions, and we have not and will not be soliciting your approval of the Corporate Actions. Notwithstanding, the holders of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock of record at the close of business on March 1, 2022 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of the stockholder action by written consent.

Upon the completion of the Corporate Actions and the closing of the SPA, the resignation of the existing directors of the Company and the appointment of the new directors of the Company will become effective in accordance with the requirements of Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.

Effects of the Corporate Actions

 

The voting rights and other rights that accompany our Common Stock will not be affected by the Corporate Actions, except that the par value per share of our Common Stock will change from $.0001 per share to $.00001 per share. However, following the effectiveness of the name change, our trading symbol will change. Because the Company’s Common Stock is currently quoted on an unsolicited basis by the OTC Markets, the name change and symbol change will also require processing by FINRA pursuant to Rule 10b-17 of the Exchange Act, as amended, in order for this action to be recognized in the market for trading purposes. Following FINRA approval, the Company’s Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Markets under its new name and trading symbol. Assuming we receive FINRA approval of the Corporate Actions, we will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or “Commission”), disclosing the effective date of the name change, as well as the new trading symbol prior to the effective date. The CUSIP number of our Common Stock will remain the same.

 

Following the name change, the share certificates bearing the current name and par value will continue to be valid. In the future, new share certificates will be issued reflecting the new name and par value in due course as old certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer. The Company requests that shareholders (also referred to as stockholders) do not send in any of their stock certificates at this time.

 

The Corporate Actions will facilitate the transactions set forth in the SPA summarized below, which will result in Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc. (f/k/a Golden Ally Lifetech Group Co., Ltd.) (“Golden Ally”) becoming a subsidiary of the Company and the shareholders of Golden Ally holding shares of the Company.

Director Independence and Board Committees

 

The Board currently consists of Dr. Yunfeng Lu, Dr. Oliver Keren Ban, Dr. Wen Li, Mr. Carter Yeung and Mr. Jimmy Wang as directors. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Corporate Actions, SPA, and Change of Control, all of the five current directors are expected to be elected as directors to the Company’s Board.

 

The Company believes that Dr. Yunfeng Lu will be considered independent upon the Change of Control.

 

As the Company currently has one director (and will have 5 directors upon the completion of the Change of Control) and given its limited operations, the Company does not have separate or independent audit, nominating or compensation committees. The Board has determined that the Company does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In addition, we have not adopted any procedures by which the Company’s stockholders may recommend nominees to the Board. The Company is expected to remain without separate or independent audit, nominating or compensation committees upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Corporate Actions, SPA, and Change of Control.

CORPORATE ACTION 2: AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

 

General

 

On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors took action by written consent approving our proposed Amended Charter and recommend our stockholders to approve and adopt the same. On March 1, 2022, the Majority Stockholders took action by written consent approving and adopting the Amended Charter. The Amended Charter, among other things:

 

  increases the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares, par value $0.001 per share, to Ten Billion (10,000,000,000) shares, par value $0.00001 per share;

 

  increases the number of authorized shares of our Preferred Stock from Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares, par value $0.001 per share, to One Billion (1,000,000,000) shares, par value $0.00001 per share;

 

  designates all the authorized Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock, with holders of the Series A Preferred Stock having ten (10) votes per share held on all matters ‎submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a vote thereon and each share of Series ‎A Preferred Stock convertible at the option of the holder into one (1) share of ‎Common Stock; and

 

  changes our name from “Signet International Holdings, Inc.” to “Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc.”.

 

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends or distributions on a pro-rata basis with the holders of Common Stock when and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, and dividends or distributions will not be cumulative or bear or accrue any interest. No dividends or distributions shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the Common Stock unless dividends or distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock are likewise declared and paid or set apart for payment. Upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to, on a pro-rata basis with the holders of Common Stock, distributions of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders.

 

The Amended Charter will become effective following filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which will occur promptly following the 20th day after the mailing of the definitive Information Statement.

 

We are currently authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation to issue One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share.

 

Reasons for the Charter Amendment

 

On February 28, 2022, the Company, the Majority Stockholders and Golden Ally, a Delaware corporation entered into the SPA, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with SEC on March 2, 2022 and is attached hereto as Appendix C. Under the SPA, the Majority Stockholders agreed to sell to Golden Ally their capital stock of the Company, consisting of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Super Preferred Stock (convertible into 50,000,000 common shares) and 4,474,080 common shares for ‎‎$375,000‎ in cash (the “Purchase”). ‎Immediately after the completion of the Purchase, at the closing and subject to ‎the terms and conditions of the SPA, Golden Ally will cause the Golden ‎Ally shareholders to sell, assign and transfer to the Company all of the ‎Golden Ally shares in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company (the “Exchange”) as follows: (i) ‎each share of Golden Ally Class A Common Stock will be exchanged for one ‎share of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (as designated by the Amended ‎Articles); and (ii) each share of Golden Ally Class B Common Stock will be ‎exchanged for one share of the Company’s Common Stock.‎ As of ‎the date of the SPA, there are 1 billion Golden Ally Class A Common Shares and 8.48 billion Golden Ally Class B Common Shares issued and outstanding. One of the purposes of amending and restating the Company’s charter is to provide for enough shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Exchange. Our Board believes it is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to amend and restate our charter in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the SPA.

 

11

 

 

Effect of the Charter Amendment

 

The increase in the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock will permit our Board to issue additional shares of our Common Stock without further approval of our stockholders, and our Board does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of the authorized capital stock unless shareholder approval is required by applicable law or stock market or exchange requirements. Our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may result in dilution to our existing shareholders, and such issuances may not require shareholder approval.

 

The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity and voting power of existing security holders of our Common Stock. It may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. However, if additional shares are issued in transactions whereby favorable business opportunities are provided, the market price of our Common Stock may increase.

 

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by our shareholders. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board out of funds legally available, subject to the preference of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. We have not paid any dividends since our inception, and we presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.

 

The holders of our Series A Preferred Stock created by the Amended Charter are entitled to ten (10) votes for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by our shareholders. Upon the closing of the Exchange, the current holder of the Golden Ally Class A Common Stock will hold all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and will have the voting control of all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a vote thereon.

 

CORPORATE ACTION 3: AMENDED BYLAWS

 

General

 

On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors took action by written consent approving the proposed Amended Bylaws. On March 1, 2022, the Majority Stockholders took action by written consent approving the Amended Bylaws.

 

12

 

 

Reasons for the Amended Bylaws

 

Our Board believes it is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to amend and restate our bylaws in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the SPA.

 

CORPORATE ACTION 4: AUTHORIZATION TO FILE CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION

 

General

 

The Company caused an Articles of Conversion to be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on February 28, 2018‎, but the Company did not properly authorize or file a Certificate of Conversion with the Delaware Secretary of State or otherwise properly convert out as a Delaware corporation; instead, the Corporation erroneously filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Dissolution on March 1, 2018 (the “Defective Conversion”). In addition, we believe that the Defective Conversion did not receive approval from all the shareholders of the Corporation as required by Section 266 of the General ‎Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”).

 

On March 1, 2022, the Majority Stockholders took action by written consent approving the Company to take the following actions: (A) to correct the errors made by the Company in connection with the Defective Conversion and the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution by filing a certificate of correction (the “Certificate of Correction”) with the Delaware Secretary of State and submit the past-due annual reports with the Delaware Secretary of State for the fiscal years of 2019 through 2021 in order to negate the purported dissolution and to the extent necessary to reinstate the Corporation as a Delaware corporation in good standing, and (B) to take any and all actions deemed advisable by the Company and its legal counsel to cancel and negate the Articles of Conversion filed in the State of Nevada. On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors took action by written consent approving the same.

 

Reasons for the Authorization to file Certificate of Correction

 

Our Board believes it is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to correct the Defective Conversion and to reinstate the Company as a Delaware corporation.

 

Effect of the Authorization to file Certificate of Correction

 

Upon the acceptance of the Certificate of Correction and the issuance of a good standing certificate by the Delaware Secretary of State, the Company will be reinstated as a Delaware corporation and the errors made in connection with the Certificate of Dissolution will be negated.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc.

Austin, TX 78746-5883

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc., (the Company), as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the period from inception (December 1, 2020) to December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the period from inception (December 1, 2020) to December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has not yet established a source of revenues and has incurred a cumulative net loss. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

Golden Ally Lifetech Group Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2021

 

Note 1 – Business

 

Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc. (f/k/a Golden Ally Lifetech Group Co., Ltd.) (“Golden Ally”) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 1, 2020 and operates out of Austin, Texas.

 

Golden Ally is a high-tech start-up company focusing on a unique product offering. Golden Ally activities to date have focused on the development and exploration of water filtration technology and consumer products with Aquaporin (“AQP”) Active Water.   Golden Ally has been working with field experts and research institutions to apply and explore the ability to enhance water filtration for improved body cell absorption in commercialized water products.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes Golden Ally will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Golden Ally has not yet established a source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. Golden Ally has incurred a cumulative net loss of $57,570. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of Golden Ally to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, Golden Ally will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for Golden Ally by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing.

 

Management has held preliminary discussions with potential investors to secure significant capital for Golden Ally in 2022. Management is confident that the diversified options for financing available to Golden Ally in 2022, along with support from significant shareholders, will allow it to achieve its objectives and satisfy its capital requirements.

 

These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Golden Ally be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Account Policies

    

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements for continued reasonableness. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

Cash

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, Golden Ally considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three (3) months or less to be cash.

 

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, Golden Ally had cash of $2,999,370 and $0, respectively.

 

F-7

 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Golden Ally maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Golden Ally continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in its accounts. Management believes the Golden Ally is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

 

Loss per Share

 

Loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Golden Ally had no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding during the periods presented. 

 

Note 4 – Investment – Related Party and its Subsequent Rescission

 

On December 1, 2021, Golden Ally entered into an agreement to purchase twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Asia Hybrid Cryptocurrency Company Limited (“Asia Hybrid”) for $2,000,000. As part of the agreement, Asia Hybrid was to develop and maintain a digital platform for use by Golden Ally. Golden Ally made the payment of $2,000,000 accordance with the agreement in December 2021.

 

On March 7, 2022, Golden Ally entered a rescission agreement with Asia Hybrid, and a related party, whereby the original agreement between Golden Ally and Asia Hybrid was rescinded effective December 1, 2021 and both party’s obligations of the agreement were terminated. Also included in the rescission agreement, a related party investor that had previously purchased for 100,000,000 Class B Common Stock for $10,000,000 reduced their purchased by $2,000,000 and 20,000,000 shares. Such related-party investor now owns 80,000,000 Class B Common Stock purchased for cash of $8,000,000.

 

Note 5 – Capital Stock

 

Common Stock

 

Golden Ally has authorized 10,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Golden Ally has authorized 1,000,000,000 of Series A Common Stock which have 10:1 voting rights, and 9,000,000,000 of Series B Common Stock.

 

On February 1, 2021, Golden Ally issued 1,000,000,000 Series A Common Stock for cash proceeds of $10,000.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, Golden Ally issued 8,480,000,000 shares of Series B Common Stock for cash proceeds of $3,041,940.

 

As of December 31, 2021, Golden Ally had 1,000,000,000 Series A Common Stock issued and outstanding and 8,480,000,000 of Series B Common Stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2020, Golden Ally did not have any stock issued and outstanding.

 

Note 6 – Related Parties

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, a related party paid expenses on behalf of the Company of $5,000. As of December 31, 2021, the related party is still owed $5,000.

  

Note 7 – Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, Golden Ally received $5,042,000 for stock subscriptions receivable related to Class B Common Stock.

 

F-8

 

 

On January 3, 2022, Golden Ally entered into an agreement with a company owned by a related party to develop and implement marketing strategies for Golden Ally’s products. Golden Ally paid $1,000,000 on January 12, 2022, per the terms of the agreement for services to be provided.

 

On January 18, 2022, Golden Ally entered into an agreement for legal services. In January 2022, Golden Ally paid $500,000 as a retainer to the legal service provider.

 

On January 18, 2022, Golden Ally entered into an agreement for office space in Texas. The agreement term is from January 19, 2022, to January 31, 2023 at a rate of $332 per month.

 

On February 2, 2022, Golden Ally entered into a lease for a location in California. The term of the lease is four (4) months ending on May 31, 2022. The base rent is $5,970 per month.

 

On February 28, 2022, Golden Ally entered into the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement with the Company, a Delaware corporation formed on February 2, 2005, and the Company’s Shareholders. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by the Company of Golden Ally is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent to the acquisition by Golden Ally of the Company with the issuance of stock by Golden Ally for the net assets of the Company. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse merger accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Golden Ally. Accordingly, Golden Ally’s financial statements prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, reflect only the business of Golden Ally. As part of the agreement, Golden Ally deposited $37,500 into escrow on February 11, 2022 and will purchase the controlling block shares of the Company for total consideration of $375,000.

 

On March 7, 2022, Golden Ally entered into a recession agreement with Asia Hybrid and a related party to rescind a $2 million investment in Asia Hybrid by Golden Ally and reduced stock proceeds of Class B Common Stock issued by $2 million. Refer to Note 4 for additional details.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On February 28, 2022, Golden Ally Lifetech Group, Inc., f/k/a Golden Ally Lifetech Group Co., Ltd. (“Golden Ally”) entered into an agreement to acquire seventy-seven percent (77%) of the outstanding shares of Signet International Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Signet”), for an aggregate net purchase price of $375,000 in cash (the “Signet Acquisition”).

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information 

 

As of December 31, 2021

 

Note 1 – Description of Transaction

 

On February 28, 2022, Golden Ally entered into the Share Purchase and Exchange Agreement with Signet, a Delaware corporation formed on February 2, 2005, and the Signet Shareholders (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition by Signet of Golden Ally is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent to the acquisition by Golden Ally of Signet with the issuance of stock by the Golden Ally for the net assets of Signet. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. As part of the agreement Golden Ally deposited $37,500 into escrow on February 11, 2022 and will purchase the controlling block shares of Signet for total consideration of $375,000.

 

Note 2  Basis of Presentation

 

The business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under reverse merger accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of Signet, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer, Golden Ally. Accordingly, Golden Ally’s financial statements prior to the closing of the reverse acquisition, reflect only the business of Golden Ally.

 

Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs (i.e. advisory, legal, valuation, other professional fees) and certain acquisition-related restructuring charges are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. In connection with the Signet Acquisition, total acquisition-related transaction costs expected to be incurred by Golden Ally and Signet are estimated to be approximately $150,000, consisting of acquisition-related transaction costs to be incurred by Golden Ally. The estimated acquisition-related transaction costs will be expensed by Golden Ally in the quarter ending March 31, 2022.

 

Note 3 – Accounting Policies

 

Upon consummation of the Signet Acquisition, Golden Ally will review, in detail, Signet’s accounting policies. As a result of the review, Golden Ally may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the combined financial statements. At this time, Golden Ally is not aware of any difference that would have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

 

As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies.

 

Note 4  Golden Ally Funding of the Signet Acquisition

 

The Company completed the Signet Acquisition for an aggregate net purchase price of $375,000 in cash.  The purchase price was funded by Golden Ally with cash on-hand. On the agreement date, the price of Signet shares was $0.0873. The Company acquired 77% of Signet’s outstanding shares.

 

Note 5  Pro Forma Adjustments in Connection with the Signet Acquisition

 

This note should be read in conjunction with Note 1 – Description of Transaction and Note 2 – Basis of Presentation. The following summarizes the pro forma adjustments in connection with the Signet Acquisition to give effect to the acquisition as if it occurred on January 1, 2021, for the purposes of the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and on December 31, 2021, for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet.

 

  (a)  To record cash received subsequent to December 31, 2021, of $5,042,000 related to stock subscriptions receivable for the issuance of Class B Common Stock.

  

  (b)  To record $1,000,000 paid on January 12, 2022, for an agreement to develop and implement marketing strategies for the Company’s products.  The Company paid a related party for these services to be provided.

 

  (c)  To record $500,000 paid on January 18, 2022, as a retainer for legal services to be provided to the Company.

 

  (d)  To record goodwill resulting from the Signet Acquisition based on the premium paid on the acquisition.  The Company exchanged 100% of its shares for 77% of Signet, representing a premium for the twenty-three percent (23%) of Signet stock not acquired.  The goodwill was calculated based on the trading price of $0.0873 on February 28, 2022, the date the agreement was entered into by both parties.

The Business

 

The Golden Ally’s Aquaporin (“AQP”) Active Water project is a derivative of an academic inspiration from the 2003 Nobel Laureates in Chemistry, Dr. Peter Agre and Dr. Roderick MacKinnon jointly, “for discoveries concerning channels in cell membranes”.

 

Golden Ally has been working closely with experienced field experts and top scientific research institutions to apply the famous Nobel Prize theory of aquaporins into its commercialized products, i.e., the AQP Active Water.

 

The Product

 

AQP Active Water is the product of a unique water filtration technology derived from raw materials with exclusive access by Golden Ally. The advanced technology can enhance water filtration for better body cell absorption to improve health. All AQP Active Water products will be produced through OEM arrangements and their distribution logistics will also be supported by the OEM partners.

 

AQP Active Water is an epoch-making product. Consumption for a prolonged period is foreseen to possibly extend human body cells’ lifespan. Golden Ally has been running laboratory tests on its products at the David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles.

 

Market Overview

 

High-income households are our targeted consumers due to a strong correlation between income level and health spending

 

The global consumer pool for AQP Active Water is estimated at 17.61 million households. These households represent the portion that has an annual household income of over $150,000 USD, a level that can support annual household spending on healthcare products over $6,000 USD. These households can afford five bottles of AQP Active Water per day.

 

The U.S. accounts for almost seventy percent (70%) of the pool. U.S. is a health-conscious society. The average annual consumer expenditure on healthcare is $5,177 USD, which constitutes nine percent (9%) of total annual consumer expenditure. Within the nine percent (9%) healthcare spending, 50.1% is used on health products, the category AQP Active Water falls in. By comparing household income level by age group, 12.24 million households between age 25-74 have an annual household income over $150,000 USD. This represents our target market, and represents 34.97% of total number of households with annual household income over $150,000 USD.

 

Global target market (excluding the U.S.) has 15.35 million households with annual household income over $150,000 USD. Assuming the same distribution, this represents 5.37 million households that are our target market.

 

Golden Ally’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion contains statements including, without limitation, statements containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects” and words of similar import, that constitute forward-looking statements.

Given the risks and uncertainties, readers of this report and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

Overview

 

Golden Ally is a developmental stage company that is currently implementing its business plan, which is to be a high-tech start-up focused on a unique product offering. Our activities to date have focused on the development and exploration of water filtration technology and consumer products with AQP Active Water. We have been working with field experts and research institutions to apply and explore the ability to enhance water filtration for improved body cell absorption in commercialized water products.

 

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

We have had limited operations and have been issued a “going concern” opinion by our auditor for the year ended December 31, 2021, based on our lack of an established source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred a cumulative net loss of $57,570. There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations.

 

Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in developing our products and market downturns.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, Golden Ally received $5,042,000 for stock subscriptions receivable related to Class B Common Stock. We expect to require further investments and have no assurance that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to raise additional capital to maintain our operations in the future, we may be unable to carry out our business plans or we may be forced to cease operations.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes Golden Ally will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. No revenues have been generated to date and we expect limited revenues.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not generate any revenue. Our operating expenses were $57,500, consisting primarily of professional fees. As a result, we incurred a loss from operations of $57,570.

 

F-15

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working Capital and Cash Flows. Golden Ally used cash flows of $57,570 for‎ operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021. Prior to December 31, 2021, we raised $3,051,940 from the sale of shares of Class B Common Stock and $5,000 in a related party loan. As a result, our cash flows from financing activities were $3,056,940.

 

On January 3, 2022, Golden Ally entered into an agreement with a company owned by a related party, Taucoin Asset Management LLC, to develop and implement marketing strategies for the its products and paid $1,000,000 on January 12, 2022, per the terms of the agreement for services to be provided.

 

On January 18, 2022, Golden Ally entered into an agreement for legal services with the firm, Locke Lord LLP and paid a retainer of $500,000 for legal services.

 

Golden Ally has obtained a lease for an office in Texas for one year at $332 per month and a four-month lease for a property in California with a base rent of $5,970 per month.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures in our financial statements. We had no critical accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

We have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are summarized in Note 3 to our financial statements. Although we believe that our estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

The annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of any other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held on the third Tuesday of May in each year at 9:00 a.m. However, if the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a statutory holiday, then the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day. If an annual meeting of the shareholders is not held as prescribed in these bylaws, the election of directors may be held at any meeting subsequently called pursuant to these bylaws.

 

Section 2.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS.

 

Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board, the Chairman of the Board (the “Chair”), the President, or one or more shareholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the meeting.

 

If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board, the request shall be in writing, specifying the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail to the Chair, the President, any Vice-President or the Secretary of the corporation. The request shall also specify the time of the meeting which shall not be less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request. The officer receiving the request shall forthwith cause notice to be given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of these bylaws, that a meeting will be held at the time specified. If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a shareholders’ meeting called by action of the Board may be held.

Section 2.3 PLACE OF MEETINGS.

 

All meetings of the shareholders shall be at any place within or without the State of Delaware as designated by the Board. In the absence of any such designation, shareholders’ meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation.

 

Section 2.4 NOTICE.

 

All notices of shareholder meetings shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 of these bylaws, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall specify the place, date and hour of the meeting and: (1) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted; or (2) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the Board, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees whom, at the time of the notice, management intends to present for election.

 

Section 2.5 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.

 

Notice of any shareholders’ meeting shall be given either personally or by first class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, including emails, charges prepaid addressed to the shareholder at the address (including email address) of that shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by the shareholder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the Corporation’s books or has been so given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent to that shareholder by first class mail or telegraphic or other written communication to the Corporation’s principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where that office is located. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally, deposited in the mail, delivered to a common carrier for transmission to the recipient, actually transmitted by electronic means to the recipient by the person giving the notice, or sent by other means of written communication.

 

If any notice addressed to a shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation is returned to the Corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service was unable to deliver the notice to the shareholder at that address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the notices shall be available to the shareholder on written demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the Corporation for a period of one (1) year from the date of the giving of the notice.

 

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any shareholders’ meeting may be executed by the Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, or any transfer agent of the Corporation giving the notice, and filed and maintained in the minute book of the Corporation.

Section 2.6 QUORUM.

 

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any shareholders’ meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the departure from the meeting of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken, other than an adjournment, is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

 

Section 2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE.

 

Any shareholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting, except as provided in Section 2.6.

 

When any shareholders’ meeting, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the Board shall set a new record date. Notice of any adjourned meeting, if required, shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5. At any adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 2.8 VOTING.

 

The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11, subject to the provisions of General Corporation Law sections 217 to 218, inclusive, (relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation, or in joint ownership), as amended. The shareholders’ vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that any election for directors must be by ballot if demanded by any shareholder before the voting has begun.

 

Except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2.8, or as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders. On any matter other than the election of directors, any shareholder may vote part of the shares owned by that shareholder in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares which the shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares that the shareholder is entitled to vote.

 

If a quorum is present (or if a quorum had been present earlier at the meeting but some shareholders had withdrawn), the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting, provided the shares voting affirmatively also constitute a majority of the number of shares required for a quorum, shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by Delaware General Corporation Law or by the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation.

 

B-3

 

 

At a shareholders’ meeting at which directors are to be elected, no shareholder shall be entitled to cast for any candidate a number of votes greater than the number of votes which the shareholder normally is entitled to cast, or “cumulate votes,” unless the candidate’s name has been placed in nomination before commencement of the voting and a shareholder has given notice before the commencement of the voting of the shareholder’s intention to cumulate votes. If any shareholder has given that notice, then every shareholder entitled to vote may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination and give one (1) candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which that shareholder’s shares are normally entitled, or distribute the shareholder’s votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to and including the number of directors to be elected shall be elected.

 

Section 2.9 WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS.

 

The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, who was not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special shareholders’ meeting, except that if an action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in Section 2.4, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of the proposal. All waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

 

Attendance by a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the person objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by law to be included in the notice of the meeting, but not so included, if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.

 

Section 2.10 SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.

 

Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

B-4

 

 

Directors may be elected by written consent without a meeting only if the written consents of all outstanding shares entitled to vote are obtained, except that a vacancy on the Board (other than a vacancy created by the removal of a director) not filled by the Board may be filled by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

 

All written consents shall be filed with the Secretary and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder’s proxy holder, transferee of the shares, or personal representative or their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the Secretary before the written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary.

 

Section 2.11 RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE, VOTING AND GIVING CONSENTS.

 

For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting, or to vote or to give consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days or less than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting or more than sixty (60) days before any such action without a meeting, and in this event only shareholders of record at the close of business on the date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote or to give consents, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

If the Board does not fix a record date:

 

The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be (1) when no prior action by the Board has been taken, the day on which the first written consent is given; or (2) when prior action of the Board has been taken, at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating to that action, or the sixtieth (60th) day before the date of any other action, whichever is later.

 

The record date for any other purpose shall be as provided in Article VII of these bylaws.

 

Section 2.12 PROXIES.

 

Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder’s name is placed on the proxy, whether by personal signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission, or otherwise, by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact. A validly executed proxy that does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless: (1) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the Corporation stating that the proxy is revoked, or by attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person who executed the proxy or by a subsequent proxy executed by the same person and presented at the meeting; or (2) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the Corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

 

Section 2.13 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION.

 

Before any meeting of the shareholders, the Board may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are so appointed, the chair of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be three (3). If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one (1) or more shareholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as an inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chair of the meeting may, and upon the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

 

B-5

 

 

These inspectors of election shall:

 

(a)determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

 

(b)receive votes, ballots, or consents;

 

(c)hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;

 

(d)count and tabulate all votes or consents;

 

(e)determine when the polls shall close;

 

(f)determine the result; and

 

(g)do any other act that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

 

Section 2.14 CONDUCT OF MEETINGS.

 

Subject to any limitations in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws and to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, all annual and special meetings of shareholders shall be conducted in accordance with those rules and procedures as the Board may determine and, as to matters not governed by those rules and procedures, as the chair of the meeting shall determine, including, without limitation, the establishment of rules and procedures for the maintenance of order, safety, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time prescribed for its commencement, and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

ARTICLE III. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Section 3.1 POWERS.

 

Subject to any limitations in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, and to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law requiring shareholder authorization or approval for a particular action, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board. The Board may delegate the management of the day to day operation of the business of the Corporation to a management company or other person, provided that the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board.

 

Section 3.2 NUMBER, TENURE AND QUALIFICATIONS.

 

The authorized number of directors of the Board shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the whole Board.

Directors need not be shareholders.

 

Section 3.3 REGULAR MEETINGS.

 

A regular annual meeting of the Board shall be held immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing officers and transacting any other business.

In the absence of this type of resolution, other regular meetings of the Board shall be held quarterly on the third Tuesday of May, August, November, and February, at 10:00 a.m. However, if this day falls on a statutory holiday, then the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day.

Any oral notice given personally or by telephone may be communicated either to the director or to a person at the office of the director whom the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the director.

B-7

 

 

Section 3.5 PLACE OF MEETINGS.

 

Meetings of the Board may be held at any place within or without the State of Delaware that has been designated in the notice. If a place has not been stated in the notice or there is no notice, meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation unless another place has been designated by a resolution duly adopted by the Board.

 

Section 3.6 PARTICIPATION BY ELECTRONIC MEANS.

 

Members of the Board may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone, electronic video screen communication, or other communications equipment. Participation in a meeting through use of conference telephone constitutes presence in person at that meeting pursuant to this Section 3.6 as long as all members participating in the meeting are able to hear one another. Participation in a meeting through the use of communications equipment other than conference telephone constitutes presence in person at that meeting pursuant to this Section 3.6 as long as each member participating in the meeting can communicate with all other participants concurrently; each member may participate in all matters before the board, including proposing or objecting to a specific action to be taken by the corporation; and the corporation verifies prior to the meeting that persons participating in the meeting are entitled to participate, and that any action or vote taken at the meeting is taken only by the directors.

 

Section 3.7 QUORUM.

 

A majority of authorized directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum a majority of the directors present may adjourn any meeting to another time and place. If a meeting is adjourned for more than twenty-four (24) hours, notice of any adjournment to another time or place shall be given, in the manner specified in Section 3.4 of these Bylaws, prior to the time of the adjourned meeting to the directors who were not present at the time of adjournment.

 

Section 3.8 ACTION AT MEETING.

 

Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present is the act of the Board, subject to the provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

 

B-8

 

 

Section 3.9 WAIVER OF NOTICE.

 

The transactions of any meeting of the Board, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum is present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting, or an approval of the minutes of that meeting. All such waivers, consents, and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Notice of any meeting of the Board need not be given to any director who attends the meeting without protesting prior to the meeting or at its commencement the lack of notice to him or her. A waiver of notice need not specify the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the board of directors.

 

Section 3.10 ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING.

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board, or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form. The action by written consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of such directors.

 

Section 3.11 REMOVAL.

 

The Board may declare vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or who has been convicted of a felony, as defined in Title 11 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure, of the Delaware Code.

 

The entire Board or any individual director may be removed from office without cause by a vote of those shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of the director or directors concerned; provided, however, that unless the entire Board is removed, no individual director may be removed when the votes cast against removal, or not consenting in writing to that removal, would be sufficient to elect such director if voted cumulatively at an election at which the same total number of votes cast were cast (or, if that action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to vote were voted) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of the director’s most recent election were then being elected.

 

If the office of a director is so declared vacant or if the Board or any one or more directors be so removed, new directors may be elected at the same meeting.

 

Section 3.12 RESIGNATIONS.

 

Any director may resign effective on giving written notice to the Chair or the President or the Secretary or the entire Board, unless the notice specifies a later time for the effectiveness of the resignation. If the resignation is effective at a future time, a successor may be elected to take office when the resignation becomes effective.

 

B-9

 

 

Section 3.13 VACANCIES.

 

Except for a vacancy created by the removal of a director, all vacancies on the Board, whether caused by resignation, death, or otherwise, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and each director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected until a successor is elected and qualified. Vacancies created by the removal of a director may be filled only by approval of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote at an election of directors. The shareholders may elect a director at any time to fill any vacancy not filled by the directors. Any such election by written consent requires the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, except that filling a vacancy created by removal of a director shall require the written consent of the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote.

 

A vacancy or vacancies on the Board shall be deemed to exist: in the event of the death, resignation or removal of any director; if the Board by resolution declares vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a felony; if the authorized number of directors is increased; or if the shareholders fail, at any meeting of shareholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect the number of directors to be elected at that meeting.

 

Section 3.14 COMPENSATION.

 

Directors and members of committees may not receive compensation for their services, and reimbursement for expenses as may be fixed or determined by a resolution of the Board. This Section shall not be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee, or otherwise, and receiving compensation for those services.

 

Section 3.15 COMMITTEES.

 

The Board may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the authorized number of directors, designate one or more committees, each consisting of one or more directors, to serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent member at any meeting of the committee. The appointment of members or alternate members of a committee requires the vote of a majority of the authorized number of directors.

 

Any committee, to the extent provided in a resolution of the Board, shall have all the authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, except with respect to:

 

(a)the approval of any action requiring shareholders’ approval or approval of the outstanding shares;

 

(b)the filling of vacancies on the Board or any committee;

 

(c)the fixing of compensation of directors for serving on the Board or a committee;

 

B-10

 

 

(d)the adoption, amendment or repeal of a Bylaw or Bylaws;

 

(e)the amendment or repeal of any resolution of the Board which by its express terms is not so amendable or repealable;

 

(f)a distribution to shareholders, except at a rate or in a periodic amount or within a price range determined by the Board; and

 

(g)the appointment of other committees of the Board or the members of the committee.

 

Section 3.16 MEETINGS AND ACTION OF COMMITTEES.

 

Meetings and action of committees shall be governed by and held and taken in accordance with the provisions of Article III of these Bylaws dealing with meetings of directors, with those changes in the context of those Bylaws as are necessary to substitute the committee and its members for the Board and its members, except that the time of regular meetings of committees may be determined either by resolution of the Board or by resolution of the committee; special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the Board; and notice of special meetings of committees shall also be given to all alternate members, who shall have the right to attend all meetings of the committee. The Board may adopt rules for the government of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions of these Bylaws.

Section 4.1 NUMBER AND TERM.

 

The officers of the Corporation shall be a Chairman or a President, or both, one or more Vice-Presidents, a Secretary and a Chief Financial Officer, all of whom shall be chosen by the Board.

The officers to be appointed by the Board shall be chosen annually at the regular meeting of the Board held after the annual shareholders’ meeting and shall serve at the pleasure of the Board, subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under any employment contract.

If the principal executive office of the Corporation is outside the State of Delaware and the Corporation has no principal business office in such state, then the Secretary shall, upon the written request of any shareholder, furnish to that shareholder a copy of these Bylaws as amended to date.

ARTICLE VIII. INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 8.1 RIGHT OF INDEMNIFICATION.

 

Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (as a party, witness, or otherwise), in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that the person, or another person for whom that person is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of a foreign or domestic corporation that was a predecessor corporation of the Corporation or of another enterprise at the request of the predecessor corporation, including, without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of the Proceeding is alleged conduct in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, or agent (an “Agent”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by statutory and decisional law, as the same exists or may in the future be interpreted or amended (but, in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that the amendment or interpretation permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior to the amendment) against all expenses, liability, and loss (including, without limitation, attorney fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, any interest, assessments, or other charges imposed, and any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes or liens imposed on any Agent as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Article) incurred or suffered by the person in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, or participating in, including, without limitation, appellate proceedings, or preparing for any of the foregoing in, any Proceeding (“Expenses”). The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contractual right. It is the Corporation’s intention that these Bylaws provide indemnification in excess of that expressly permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law as authorized by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation.

 

B-19

 

 

Section 8.2 AUTHORITY TO ADVANCE EXPENSES.

 

Expenses incurred by an officer or director, acting in that corporate capacity in defending a proceeding, shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of that proceeding; provided, however, that if required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, such expenses shall be advanced only on the delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of that director or officer to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that that director or officer was not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article or otherwise. Expenses incurred by other Agents of the Corporation, or by the directors or officers not acting in their corporate capacity, including, without limitation, service with respect to employee benefit plans, may be advanced on the receipt of a similar undertaking, if required by law, and upon any other terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. Any obligation to reimburse the Corporation for Expense advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged these advances.

 

Section 8.3 RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT.

 

If a claim under Section 8.1 or 8.2 of these Bylaws is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time subsequent to the running of that time period commence a proceeding against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid for the expense, including, without limitation, attorney fees, of prosecuting the claim. It shall be a defense to any proceeding, other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the Corporation, that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. The burden of proving that defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of the action that indemnification of the claimant would be proper under the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, independent legal counsel, or its shareholders) that the claimant had not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall either be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 8.4 PROVISIONS NONEXCLUSIVE.

 

The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights that the person may have or may later acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to any action in an official capacity and as to any action in another capacity while holding office. To the extent that any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, agreement, or vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors is inconsistent with these Bylaws, the provision, agreement, or vote shall take precedence.

 

B-20

 

 

Section 8.5 AUTHORITY TO INSURE.

 

The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any agent against any expense asserted against them or incurred by an agent, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against the expense under applicable law or the provisions of this Article.

 

Section 8.6 SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS.

 

The rights provided by this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of that person.

 

Section 8.7 SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.

 

The Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any Agent under this Article: (1) for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim effected without the Corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (2) for any judicial award, if the Corporation was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity, at its expense, to participate in the defense of the action.

 

Section 8.8 EFFECT OF AMENDMENT.

 

Any amendment, repeal, or modification of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any Agent existing at the time of that amendment, repeal, or modification.

 

Section 8.9 SUBROGATION.

 

In the event of a payment under this Article, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of that payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Agent, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure those rights, including, without limitation, the execution of any documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce those rights.

 

Section 8.10 NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

 

The Corporation shall not be liable under this Article to make any payment in connection with any claim made against the Agent to the extent the Agent has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, agreement, vote, or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable pursuant to these Bylaws.

 

ARTICLE IX. AMENDMENTS

 

Section 9.1 AMENDMENT BY SHAREHOLDERS.

 

New Bylaws may be adopted or existing Bylaws may be amended or repealed by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, except as otherwise provided by law, these Bylaws, or the Certificate of Incorporation.
