In accordance with the FBCA, the affirmative
vote on the Corporate Actions of at least a majority of the outstanding voting power has been obtained. As a result, no vote or
proxy is required by the stockholders to approve the Corporate Actions.

PROPOSAL NUMBER ONE
APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
GENERAL
The Board approved
a resolution to effectuate a 400:1 reverse stock split. Our stock price has made it difficult to attract new investors
and potential business candidates. The Board of Directors believes that a reverse stock split will help prepare the
Company to meet the listing requirements of the OTCQB.
We believe that a listing on the OTCQB can
help provide benefit to our stockholders by improving liquidity and increasing the appeal of our stock to institutional investors.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTEREST IN THE COMPANY, EXCEPT AS MAY RESULT FROM THE ISSUANCE OR CANCELLATION OF SHARES
PURSUANT TO THE FRACTIONAL SHARES.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.
MATERIAL EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK
SPLIT
When a company engages
in a reverse stock split, it substitutes one share of stock for a predetermined amount of shares of stock. It does not increase
the market capitalization of the company. Under this reverse stock split each 400 shares of our Common Stock will be automatically
converted into 1 share of Common Stock. To avoid the issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock, the Company will
issue an additional share to all holders of fractional shares.
However, the effect
of the Reverse Stock Split upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar stock split
combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price per share 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
resulting from the reverse split. The market price of our Common Stock may also be based on our performance and other factors,
some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.
The Reverse Stock Split
will affect all of our stockholders of Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests
in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders
owning a fractional share. All stockholders holding a fractional share shall be issued an additional share. The principal effect
of the Reverse Stock Split will be that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 403,375,620
shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date to approximately 1,008,439 shares (depending on the number of fractional shares that
are issued or cancelled). The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the shares of Series A Preferred Stock of which 400,000,000 are
issued. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock and its par value will not be affected.
FRACTIONAL SHARES
We will not issue fractional certificates
for post- Reverse Stock Split shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, an additional share shall be issued to
all holders of a fractional share. To the extent any holders of pre- Reverse Stock Split shares are entitled to fractional shares
as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will issue an additional share to all holders of fractional shares.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK
CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT BEING ASKED TO DO SO.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion is a summary of
certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to us and stockholders of our common stock. It
does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
and is included for general information only. This discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on
the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This discussion
only applies to stockholders that are U.S. persons as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and does not describe
all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a stockholder in light of their particular circumstances or to stockholders
subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations,
foreign individuals and entities, and persons who acquired their common stock as compensation). In addition, this summary
is limited to stockholders that hold their common stock as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences
arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction or alternative minimum tax consequences. The tax treatment of
each stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder.
We have not sought and will not seek an
opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock
Split. We believe, however, that because the Reverse Stock Split is not part of a plan to periodically increase or decrease any
stockholder’s proportionate interest in the assets or earnings and profits of our company, the Reverse Stock Split should
have the federal income tax effects described below:
The exchange of pre-split shares for post-split shares should
not result in recognition of
|
●
|
gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
|
|
●
|
The stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the post-split shares would equal that stockholder’s aggregate tax basis
in the pre-split shares.
|
|
●
|
The stockholder’s holding period for the post-split shares will include such stockholder’s holding period for the
pre-split shares.
|
|
●
|
Provided that a stockholder held the pre-split shares as a capital asset, the post-split shares received in exchange therefor
would also be held as a capital asset.
|
We believe that our Company should not
recognize gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Our view regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse
Stock Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. We urge all stockholders to consult their own tax advisers
to determine the particular federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to each of them of the Reverse Stock Split.
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT
CIRCULAR 230, STOCKHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS
NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY STOCKHOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT
MAY BE IMPOSED ON STOCKHOLDERS UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED HEREIN BY THE COMPANY IN CONNECTION
WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) BY THE COMPANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN;
AND (C) STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
Stockholders of record
of the Common Stock as of the Record Date shall have their total shares reduced on the basis of one post-split share of Common
Stock for every 400 pre-split shares outstanding.
This action has been
approved by the Board and the written consents of the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company.
AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
Upon the effectiveness
and on the date that is twenty (20) days following the mailing of this Information Statement, the Board of Directors shall have
the Company’s Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation filed with the State of Florida in order to effect the Reverse
Stock Split.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
CORPORATION ACTION AND EFFECTIVE TIME
The Corporate Actions will become effective
on the date that we file the Certificate of with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida. We intend to file the Amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida
promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR IN
OPPOSITION TO THE MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No director, executive officer, associate
of any officer or director or executive officer, or any other person has any interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings
or otherwise, in the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation referenced herein which is not shared by the majority of the
stockholders.
OTHER MATTERS
If you and others who share your mailing
address own Common Stock in street name, meaning through bank or brokerage accounts, you may have received a notice that your household
will receive only one annual report and proxy statement from each company whose stock is held in such accounts. This practice,
known as “householding” is designed to reduce the volume of duplicate information and reduce printing and postage costs.
Unless you responded that you did not want to participate in householding, you were deemed to have consented to it, and a single
copy of this Information Statement has been sent to your address. Each stockholder will continue to receive a separate notice.
If you would like to receive an individual
copy of this Information Statement, we will promptly send a copy to you upon request by mail to the Company at 3225 McLeod Drive,
Suite 100, Las Vegas, Nevada 89121, or by calling (800) 351-3021. This document is also available in digital form for download
