Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

NO VOTE OR ACTION OF THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A

PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.

 

Dear Stockholders:

 

We are writing to advise you that TIGER OIL & ENERGY, INC., a Nevada corporation, (the "Company", "we", "our", "us" or words of similar import) has obtained the written consent of the stockholder of the Company owning at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company securities entitled to vote on the matter set forth in this Information Statement as of the Record Date (the "Majority Stockholder") to the following corporate action:

 

To effect a reverse stock split of all the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of one post-split share for every twenty-five thousand pre-split shares (1:25,000), without changing the $0.0001 par value or authorized amount of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split being rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 

The foregoing actions were approved on December 12, 2019 by our Board of Directors. In addition, on December 12, 2019 (the "Record Date") the holder of 83.63% of the Company's outstanding voting securities approved the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares voting for the Reverse Stock Split was sufficient for approval.

 

The Reverse Stock Split will only become effective after completion of regulatory review by FINRA and SEC, filing an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the Nevada, and twenty (20) days after the mailing of a definitive Information Statement to our stockholders entitled to receive notice thereof, expected to be on or around January 24, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). The Company will advise stockholders when the Reverse Stock Split is effective by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC.

 

Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") provides in part 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 Consenting Stockholders who collectively own shares representing a majority of our Voting Stock.

 

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. The Company will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

CORPORATE ACTION TO BE TAKEN

 

To effect a reverse stock split of all the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of one post-split share per twenty-five thousand pre-split shares (1:25,000), without changing the $0.0001 par value or authorized amount of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split being rounded up to the nearest whole number.

 

Background:

 

The members of the Board of Directors and stockholder owning approximately 83.63% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (the "Majority Stockholder") have executed a written consent approving the Reverse Stock Split. The Majority Stockholder held on the Record Date total of 67,018,000 shares of our Common Stock, 100,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 100 shares of our Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 2,500 votes per share.  Each share of Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 80% of the total votes on any matters brought to a vote of the holders of the Company's Common Stock and has no conversion rights. As a result, holders of approximately 83.63% 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 Stockholders who collectively own shares representing a majority of our Voting Stock.

 

Upon completion of the necessary filings, the Reverse Stock Split will decrease the number of outstanding shares to approximately 59,956, depending the number of fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The par value and the number of authorized shares will remain the same as before the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Commitments

 

We have no commitment to issue any Common Stock nor are we in negotiation to issue Common Stock.

 

Dilutive Effect

 

Any issuance of Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on holders of our Common Stock.

 

Purpose and Effect of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Our Board believes that, among other reasons, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock has made it difficult for the Company to attract new investors and potential business candidates. Our Board proposed the Reverse Stock Split as one method to attract business opportunities for the Company. Our Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split could increase the stock price of our Common Stock and that the higher stock price could help generate interest in the Company by investors and provide business opportunities.

 

However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split, if any, upon the stock price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies like us is varied. Further, we cannot assure you that the stock price of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split because, among other things, the stock price of our Common Stock may be based on our performance and other factors as well.

 

5

 

The principal effect of the Reverse Stock Split will be the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from 1,498,908,173 shares as of the Record Date to approximately 59,956 shares (depending on the number of fractional shares that are issued). The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders holding a fractional share of our Common Stock. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split shall not affect any rights, privileges or obligations with respect to the shares of Common Stock existing prior to the Reverse Stock Split, nor does it increase or decrease the market capitalization of the Company. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” under Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

By reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, more shares of Common Stock are available for issuance as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. The Board believes that the availability of more shares of Common Stock for issuance will allow the Company greater flexibility in pursuing financing from investors and issuing shares of Common Stock in exchange for such financing, meeting business needs as they arise, taking advantage of favorable opportunities, and responding to a changing corporate environment.

 

The following chart depicts the capitalization structure of the Company both pre-Reverse Stock Split and post-Reverse Stock Split:

 

Common Stock		Pre-Split				Post-Split
Authorized			5,000,000,000				5,000,000,000
Outstanding			1,498,908,173				59,956	*
Available			3,501,091,827				4,999,940,044	*

 

*Final numbers may differ slightly based due to fractional shares being rounded up to nearest whole-number.

 

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

 

You should recognize that you will own a lesser number of shares of Common Stock than you presently own. While we hope that the Reverse Stock Split will result in an increase in the potential stock price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the potential stock price of our Common Stock by a multiple equal to the inverse of the Reverse Stock Split ratio or result in the permanent increase in any potential stock price (which is dependent upon many factors, including our performance and prospects). Should the stock price of our Common Stock decline, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, the possibility exists that potential liquidity in the stock price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of Stockholders of the Company who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots typically will experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares, as well as possible greater difficulty in effecting such sales. As a result, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.

 

Following the Reverse Stock split, there will be approximately 1,4998,848,217 additional shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Board, without further stockholder approval, for stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of Common Stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are no immediate plans to do so. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company’s business or the trading price of the Common Stock. Any such issuance of additional shares of Common Stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and has not presented this proposal with the intention that the increase in the number of available authorized shares of Common Stock be used as a type of antitakeover device. Any additional Common Stock, when issued, would have the same rights and preferences as the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding. Other than convertible notes and other agreements previously disclosed by the Company in its public filings, there is currently no plan, agreement or other understanding that could require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Although the Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock essentially guarantees that the holder(s) thereof will maintain control of matters subject to a Company stockholder vote, Howard Bouch, the current holder of the outstanding shares Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock is also the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board. In the event Mr. Bouch would be required to recuse himself from voting on one or matters presented to the stockholders for a vote, the Company would have more authorized Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split which could be issued and dilute the voting power of the Common Stock held by the disinterested stockholders prior to the issuance.

 

THE OVERALL EFFECT OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT MAY BE TO RENDER MORE DIFFICULT THE CONSUMMATION OF MERGERS WITH THE COMPANY OR THE ASSUMPTION OF CONTROL BY A PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER, AND THUS MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO REMOVE MANAGEMENT.

 

A possible effect of the Reverse Stock Split is to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, or the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company’s voting securities and the removal of incumbent management. Our management could use the additional shares of Common Stock available for issuance to resist or frustrate a third-party take-over effort favored by a majority of the independent stockholders that would provide an above market premium by issuing additional shares of Common Stock.

 

The Reverse Stock Split is not the result of management’s knowledge of an effort to accumulate the Company’s securities or to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise. Nor is the Reverse Stock Split a plan by management to adopt a series of amendments to the Company’s charter or by-laws to institute an anti-takeover provision. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences. As discussed above, the reason for the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is able to issue in order to attract potential investors and conduct equity financings.

 

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

 

The Reverse Stock Split will only become effective after completion of regulatory review by FINRA and SEC, filing an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the Nevada, and twenty (20) days after the mailing of a definitive Information Statement to our stockholders entitled to receive notice thereof, expected to be on or around January 24, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). The Company will advise stockholders when the Reverse Stock Split is effective by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC.

 

Beginning on the Effective Date, each stock certificate representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock.

 

Our transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer, will act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock are asked to surrender to the Exchange Agent stock certificates evidencing their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in exchange for stock certificates representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock in accordance with the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal sent by the Exchange Agent. No new stock certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered the outstanding stock certificate(s) held by such Stockholder, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal.

 

7

 

  

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as the result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue to the Stockholders one additional share of Common Stock for each fractional share.

 

Interests of Certain Persons in the Action

 

Certain of the Company’s officers and directors have an interest in the Corporate Action as a result of their ownership of shares of our Common Stock, as set forth in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below. However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in the Corporate Action that are different from or greater than those of any other of our stockholders

  

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 Tiger Oil & Energy, Inc., 7230 Indian Creek Ln., Ste 201, Las Vegas, NV, 89149
