INFORMATION STATEMENT

Pursuant to Section 14C

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

 

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A

PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

 

GENERAL

 

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about June 12, 2020 to all holders of record on June 8, 2020 of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Nano Magic Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nano Magic,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), in connection with the approval of the following actions taken by unanimous vote at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and by written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Approving Stockholders”):

 

  1. Re-elect the Company’s incumbent directors (the “Election”);
  2. Amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to eliminate the Company’s Class B common stock and Class Z common stock and rename as “common stock” the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Simplification”); and
  3. Amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 7,200,000 to 30,000,000 (the “Share Increase”, and collectively with the Election and the Simplification, the “Corporate Actions”).

 

On May 6, 2020, our Board unanimously approved the Corporate Actions and the related Certificate of Incorporation amendments (together, the “Amendments”). Subsequent to our Board’s approval of the Corporate Actions and the Amendments, the Approving Stockholders approved, by written consent, the Corporate Actions and the Amendments. The name of the Approving Stockholders and their approximate ownership percentage of our voting stock are as follows:

 

Name  

Number of Shares of

Class A Common

Stock Held

   

Percentage of Class A Common

Stock (1)

 
             
PEN Comeback, LLC     2,074,101       28.8 %
PEN Comeback 2, LLC     1,698,660       23.6 %
Rickert Family, Limited Partnership     1,579,883       21.9 %
Total:     5,352,644       74.3 %

 

  (1) Based on 7,199,941 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Since the Board and the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock have voted in favor of the Corporate Actions, all corporate actions necessary to authorize the Corporate Actions have been taken.

 

  4  
 

 

The Election will be effective on the 20th calendar day after the date on which this Information Statement and the accompanying notice are mailed to our stockholders. The Corporate Actions other than the Election will become effective upon the later of (i) the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware regarding the Simplification and the Share Increase, and (iii) the 20th calendar day after the date on which this Information Statement and the accompanying notice are mailed to our stockholders. We expect the Corporate Actions to be effective on or about July 2, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). In no event will the Corporate Actions be effective sooner than 20 calendar days after we mail this Information Statement and accompanying notice to our stockholders. Our Board retains the authority to abandon the Corporate Actions for any reason at any time prior to the Effective Date. Because the Corporate Actions have already been approved by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock, you are not required to take any action. This Information Statement provides to you notice that the Corporate Actions have been approved. You will receive no further notice of the approval nor of the Effective Date of the Corporate Actions other than pursuant to reports which the Company will be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in the future.

 

The Company’s Class A Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB market tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “NMGX.” The closing price of our Class A Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB was $1.97 on April 30, 2020. On April 30, 2020, the SEC issued an Order of Suspension of Trading (the “Order”) of our common stock for the 10-day period from May 1, 2020 to May 14, 2020. A trading suspension is not an enforcement action and is not a finding of wrongdoing by the SEC. In the Order, the SEC raised questions regarding the accuracy and adequacy of publicly available information in the marketplace concerning the Company since at least February 24, 2020, including (a) information in the marketplace claiming that the Company has a patent for a disinfectant that kills “coronavirus”; and (b) a statement made by the Company on April 7, 2020 regarding the Company’s involvement in the fight against COVID-19.

 

With the assistance of outside counsel, Dickinson Wright, we have notified the SEC that we do not believe the SEC should have ordered a trading suspension and we believe that all disclosures by the Company in the marketplace are accurate and adequate.

 

On May 6, 2020, we, through Dickinson Wright, filed with the SEC a Petition to Terminate Trading Suspension (“Petition”). On May 7, 2020, Dickinson Wright filed with the SEC a Motion for Expedited Consideration of Petition to Terminate Trading Suspension. In our Petition, we informed the SEC that neither the Company, nor its officers or directors were the source of the “information in the marketplace” cited by the SEC The Company believes that the “information” to which the SEC refers is information that may have been posted by third parties on internet message boards. The Company cautions investors to rely only on information released by the Company in its current and periodic reports filed with the SEC, and in press releases that the Company, from time to time, may issue. The Company has a policy of not communicating on internet message boards and a policy of not communicating with persons seeking to obtain information from the Company outside of the Company’s public filings and official statements. The Company at no time and in no medium has communicated or published information claiming that “the Company has a patent for a disinfectant that kills ‘coronavirus.’” The Company has no knowledge of the source of such information entering the marketplace. The Company’s practice is to cooperate with non-public inquiries conducted by regulators. The Company does have four issued patents – two issued in April 2017, one issued in November 2018, and one issued in October 2019 – relating to the Company’s work in disinfectants. The testing on the Company’s formulations for the four patents all occurred prior to the filing in 2015 of the patent applications.

 

Record Date and Voting Securities

 

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on May 8, 2020 are entitled to notice of the information disclosed in this Information Statement. As of May 8, 2020, our authorized securities consist of the following:

 

  7,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock,
  2,500,000 shares of Class B common stock,
  300,000 shares of Class Z common stock, and
  20,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

 

As of May 8, 2020, there were 7,199,941 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, held by 357 holders of record, and no shares of Class B common stock, Class Z common stock or preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Dissenters’ Rights

 

There are no rights of appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any matter described in this Information Statement.

 

Action By Written Consent of the Approving Stockholders

 

Delaware law provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting an annual or special stockholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose of the action. Delaware law also requires that if an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide prompt notice to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to a company. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting and in order to implement the actions disclosed herein as quickly as possible which we believe to be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, we chose to obtain the written consent of the Approving Stockholders to approve the Corporate Actions.

 

The Corporate Actions cannot be taken until at least 20 calendar days after this Information Statement has first been sent or given to our stockholders.

We have adopted a code of ethics (as such term is defined in Item 406 of Regulation S-K) (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our executive officers and other employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be sent, free of charge, to any person who sends a written request for a copy to Jeanne Rickert, Secretary, Nano Magic Inc., 750 Denison Court, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302.

 

The Code of Ethics includes in prohibited transactions trading derivative securities based on our stock, hedging transactions related to our stock, margin accounts, pledges of our stock and other speculative transactions.

 

We intend to disclose any amendments to our code of ethics, or waivers of its requirements, on our website (www.nanomagic.com).

 

Director Independence

 

Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that requires a majority of the members of our board of directors to be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors. Similarly, we are not required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our Board of Directors. Nonetheless, as a matter of corporate governance best practice, we have established an Audit Committee (as described below) and our board has determined that Messrs. Lunsford and Westerman are “independent” as defined by the NASDAQ Marketplace rules.

 

Board Committees

 

The Board does not have standing compensation or nominating committees. The Board does not believe these committees are necessary based on the size of our company and the current levels of compensation to corporate officers. The entire Board participates in the consideration of compensation issues relating to the principal executive officer. We plan to consider establishing compensation and nominating committees at the appropriate time.

 

Procedures for Recommending Nominating and Evaluating Director Candidates

 

A stockholder holding shares with an aggregate value of at least $2,000 may nominate a director by delivering a notice that sets forth: (i) the name and address of the stockholder making the nomination; (ii) the name, age, principal occupation or employment, business address and residence address of each person to be nominated; (iii) the class and number of shares of stock held of record, owned beneficially and represented by proxy by the stockholder or by any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, under common control with or acting in concert with the stockholder (a “Stockholder Associated Person”), and by each person to be nominated as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date of such notice; (iv) a description of all contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between (a) the stockholder making the nomination and any Stockholder Associated Person that relate to the nomination, (b) the stockholder making the nomination and the proposed nominee and (c) the stockholder making the nomination, the proposed nominee or any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person or persons that relate to the nomination; (v) all other information regarding each nominee that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement; and (vi) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the corporation if elected and the nominee’s representation that the nominee is qualified under section 3.06 of the Bylaws of the Corporation. Section 3.06 of the Bylaws states that a person is not qualified as a director if the person is a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation, or has received any such compensation or other payment from any person or entity other than the Corporation, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation. The stockholder’s notice must be received not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the stockholder meeting; except that, if the Corporation gives less than 75 days’ notice of the meeting date or if public disclosure of the date of the meeting is made less than 75 days before the meeting, the notice must be received not later than the close of business the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which the notice of the date of meeting was mailed or the day the date of the meeting was announced publicly. Directors can also nominate candidates for director nominees.

 

Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board and the operating and strategic challenges that we face in the next few years. In conducting this assessment, we consider skills, diversity, age, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board and our company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability. We will seek out individuals with relevant experience to provide strategic guidance and to advise management as we operate our business and introduce new products.

 

Audit Committee

 

In February 2016, the Board created an audit committee. It is charged with overseeing (1) the integrity of our financial statements and accounting and financial reporting processes; (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (3) the performance of our independent auditor and the qualifications and independence of that firm; (4) our system of disclosure, internal controls and compliance with our Code of Ethics. Howard Westerman is the sole director on the audit committee. He is not an audit committee financial expert, but our Board has determined that Mr. Westerman is independent as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace rules.

 

Meeting Attendance

 

Our Board met six times during 2019. All Directors attended all meetings with the exception of Mr. Tom Berman who did not participate in the meeting held to discuss and determine his compensation. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, all Board members attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all Board committees on which each Board member served.

Stockholder Communications

 

Stockholders can send communications to the directors by e-mail to j.rickert@nanomagic.com indicating in the subject line that the communication is to the attention of the directors or to the attention of a specific director. Ms. Rickert reviews all these communications with the Chairman to determine what response is necessary and which to share with the other directors.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Chairman of our Board is now a separate position from that of our Chief Executive Officer. The two roles were separated after our present Chief Executive Officer was elected to that position in February 2020, and the then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman retained his role as Chairman. We believe having a separate Chairman who has previously been in the Chief Executive Officer role provides greater assurance of a continuity in the vision for our business.

 

Risk is inherent within every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a variety of risks. As a manufacturing company with nanotechnology products, operational risks relating to production, sources of supply and quality control are significant. Given our history of operating losses and our small size, liquidity risk is also significant. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the Board has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Taking its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, our directors discuss with management our strategy and risks we face.

 

Executive Compensation

 

The table below sets forth certain compensation information for: (i) our principal executive officer or other individual serving in a similar capacity during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019; (ii) our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officers who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2019 whose compensation exceed $100,000; and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer at December 31, 2019. Compensation information is shown for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

We sometimes refer to these individuals to as the “named executive officers” as that term is defined under Rule 3b-7 of the Securities Exchange Act. The value attributable to any stock or option awards is computed in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. None of our named executive officers received compensation in the form of Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation or Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings in fiscal 2019. The value of stock awards represents the grant date fair value of awards granted with respect to fiscal 2019 in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions.

 

For stock awards, these shares were valued on the grant date based on the quoted trading price of the stock on that date.

Mr. Fink has no employment agreement. Mr. Berman’s employment contract runs from April 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020. His salary was $12,500 per month in 2019 and increased to $15,000 per month for 2020. Mr. Berman is also entitled to a cash bonus of 10% of the amount by which revenue at our subsidiary Nano Magic LLC for any calendar quarter of 2019 or 2020 exceeds $450,000, subject to an annual cap on the cash bonus payment of $200,000 for each year. If he is terminated other than for cause, he will still be entitled to earn the bonus for 2020, but the bonus rate will only be 5% for revenue booked after his departure. If the cap on the cash payment for the bonus is reached, Mr. Berman will vest in options to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of stock at a price of $0.55 per share. Mr. Berman did not earn any cash bonus in 2019 and the options associated with the bonus cap in 2019 were forfeited.

ACTION TWO: THE SIMPLIFICATION

 

In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Simplification will become effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”), but not sooner than 20 days after we mail this notice and the accompanying Information Statement to our stockholders. The Company anticipates that the effective date of the Simplification will be July 2, 2020.

 

THE COMMON STOCK CHANGES WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTEREST IN THE COMPANY.

 

Reasons for the Simplification

 

We no longer have any Class B common stock or Class Z common stock outstanding and the provisions in our certificate of incorporation describing the Class B common stock and the Class Z common stock and the different rights granted to them no longer have any relevance. The Board believes that leaving these provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation has the potential to create confusion about our capital structure and could contribute to a lack of investor interest in the Company. Therefore, the Board determined to simplify our common stock structure by eliminating the Class B common stock and the Class Z common stock along with those provisions that delineate any special rights granted to holders of Class B common stock or Class Z common stock. Following the amendment and restatement, the Class A Common Stock will be the only common stock and it will be referred to simply as “common stock.” Our Board believes that the Simplification will make our capital structure easier to understand and could make it easier to generate interest in the Company. The Board is unaware of any potential negative consequences for the Simplification.

 

  13  
 

 

The following chart depicts the common stock capital structure of the Company both before and after the Simplification:

 

Pre-Simplification

 

Class of Stock   Authorized Shares of Common Stock     Issued Shares  
Class A Common Stock     7,200,000       7,199,941  
Class B common stock     2,500,000       0  
Class Z common stock     300,000       0  

 

Post-Simplification

 

Class of Stock   Authorized Shares of Common Stock     Issued Shares  
Common stock (known, prior to the Simplification, as Class A Common Stock)     7,200,000       7,199,941  

 

Procedure for Effecting Simplification

 

We anticipate that the Simplification will become effective on July 2, 2020, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable. When the Simplification become effective, each stock certificate representing Class A Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of shares of common stock.

 

Generally, under our Certificate of Incorporation our shares are not certificated and most holders of our Class A Common Stock hold shares electronically in book entry form with our transfer agent, Interwest Transfer Company, Inc. No new stock certificates will be issued as a result of the Simplification. Certificates for Class A Common Stock will be recognized as representing shares of common stock once the Simplification become effective.

 

ACTION THREE: THE SHARE INCREASE

 

In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Share Increase will become effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”), but not sooner than 20 days after we mail this notice and the accompanying Information Statement to our stockholders. The Company anticipates that the effective date of the Share Increase will be July 2, 2020.

 

Reasons for the Share Increase

 

The Board believes it is in the Company’s best interests to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 7,200,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares. The Share Increase is required to enable the Company to issue common stock under subscriptions that have been paid and to permit delivery of the underlying stock if outstanding warrants and options are exercised. The Share Increase is sufficiently large that it will also give us greater flexibility in considering and planning for future corporate needs, including, but not limited to, potential strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and business combinations, stock dividends, grants under equity compensation plans, stock splits or financings, as well as other general corporate transactions. The Board believes that additional authorized shares of common stock will enable us to take timely advantage of acquisition opportunities that become available to us, as well as market conditions and favorable financing. Except as otherwise required by law, the newly authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at the discretion of our Board (without further action by the stockholders) for various future corporate needs, including those outlined above. While effecting the Share Increase would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of existing stockholders, any future issuance of additional authorized shares of our common stock may, among other things, dilute the earnings per share of our common stock and the equity and voting rights of those holding equity at the time the additional shares are issued.

 

Any newly authorized shares of common stock will be identical to the shares of Class A Common Stock now authorized and outstanding. The Share Increase will not affect the rights of current holders of our Class A Common Stock, none of whom have preemptive or similar rights to acquire the newly authorized shares.

 

  14  
 

 

Board Discretion to Implement the Share Increase

 

The Board will implement the Share Increase only upon a determination that the Share Increase is in the best interests of the stockholders at that time. The Board of Directors may determine, in its sole discretion, not to implement the Share Increase and not to file any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Effects of Share Increase

 

The practical effect of the Share Increase will be to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 7,200,000 to 30,000,000. The number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will not change and the Share Increase will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power.

 

The following chart depicts the common stock capital structure of the Company both before and after the Simplification and the Share Increase, assuming the Simplification and the Share Increase are effected:

 

Pre-Share Increase and Pre-Simplification

 

Class of Stock   Authorized Shares of Common Stock     Issued Shares     Available to Issue  
Class A Common Stock     7,200,000       7,199,941       59  
Class B common stock     2,500,000       0       2,500,000  
Class Z common stock     300,000       0       300,000  

 

Post-Share Increase and Post-Simplification

 

Class of Stock   Authorized Shares of Common Stock     Issued Shares     Available to Issue  
Common stock (known, prior to the Simplification, as Class A Common Stock)     30,000,000       7,199,941       22,800,086 (1)  

 

  (1) Of the shares available to issue following the Simplification and Share Increase, approximately 279,283 will be issued under subscriptions already paid for and 4,918,226 will be reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options and warrants. This leaves approximately 17,602,550 shares for future issuance. Those shares may be issued as determined by the directors from time to time for any proper corporate purpose. This might include, without limitation, issuance in public or private sales for cash as a means of obtaining additional capital for use in our business and operations, and issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by us for acquisitions of other businesses or assets or as compensation for officers, directors, employees or consultants. The additional shares can provide flexibility in structuring the terms of any future agreements, as well as any future financing and recapitalization efforts.

 

Convertible Securities

 

When the Simplification and Share Increase go into effect, all outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities entitling holders thereof to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock would entitle such holders to receive, upon exercise of their securities, the same number of shares of common stock which such holders may purchase upon exercise or conversion of their securities. The exercise or conversion price of outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company will not be affected.

 

Par Value Per Share of Common Stock

 

Neither the Simplification nor the Share Increase changes the par value of the common stock.

 

  15  
 

 

Effect on Voting Rights of, and Dividends on, Common Stock

 

There is no change to the voting rights and other rights of the holders of common stock as a result of the Simplification and Share Increase. The percentage of outstanding shares owned by each stockholder prior to the Simplification and Share Increase will remain the same. However, although the Share Increase would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights of existing stockholders, any future issuance of additional authorized shares of our common stock may, among other things, dilute the earnings per share of our common stock and the equity and voting rights of those holding equity at the time the additional shares are issued.

 

Effect on Liquidity

 

There will be no change in the number of outstanding shares of common stock from the Simplification or the Share Increase. Therefore, we do not anticipate any immediate impact on the liquidity in our common stock.

 

No Appraisal Rights

 

Our stockholders will not have any right to elect to have the fair value of their shares judicially appraised and paid to them in cash in connection with, or as a result of, the Simplification or the Share Increase.

 

Effective Date of the New Stock Authorization

 

We intend to effectuate the Simplification and the Share Increase on or about July 2, 2020. However, the exact timing of the Simplification and the Share Increase will be determined by the Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Simplification and the Share Increase if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.

 

The Simplification and the Share Increase will become effective upon the filing of Certificate of Amendment and its acceptance for record by, the Delaware Secretary of State but in no event prior to the end of the 20-day period following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed first to our stockholders.

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

 

No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee, or any other person, has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the Corporate Actions that is not shared by all other stockholders.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

 

If hard copies of the materials are requested, we will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to the Company at 750 Denison Court, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302, ATTN: Jeanne Rickert or calling the Company at (844) 273-6462.

 

If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the Company at, the address and phone number in the preceding paragraph. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the address or phone number provided in the preceding paragraph.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Additional copies of this Information Statement may be obtained at no charge by writing to us at 750 Denison Court, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302.

 

NO ADDITIONAL ACTION IS REQUIRED BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THESE ACTIONS. HOWEVER, SECTION 14C OF THE EXCHANGE ACT REQUIRES THE MAILING TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS OF THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT AT LEAST TWENTY (20) DAYS PRIOR TO THE EARLIEST DATE ON WHICH THE CORPORATE ACTION MAY BE TAKEN.
