PROPOSAL TO APPROVE A REVERSE SPLIT
OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK
Stockholders are being requested to give the Company's Board of Directors
the authorization to reverse split the outstanding shares of the Company's
common stock on a 60-for-1 basis. The Company's Board of Directors reserves the
right, even after stockholder approval, to forego the reverse stock split if it
determines such action is not in the Company's best interests or the best
interests of the Company's shareholders. If the Board of Directors does not
promptly proceed with the reverse split, shareholder approval for authorization
to reverse split the Company's common stock will expire on ____, 2022. If the
reverse split is abandoned, the Board of Directors may again seek stockholder
approval at a future date for a reverse stock split if it deems a reverse stock
split to be advisable at that time.
The Company's Board of Directors has not made any determination as to
whether it will actually proceed with a reverse split of the Company's common
stock; it is only seeking shareholders' approval for such a step at this time.
The Company's Board of Directors believes that, it would be in the best
interests of the Company's shareholders to adopt a proposal that allows the
Board of Directors to determine whether or not to proceed with a reverse stock
split.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company:
o was authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock;
o had 426,584,275 outstanding shares of common stock;
o had outstanding warrants which would allow the holders to acquire
59,997,773 shares of common stock; and
o had outstanding convertible notes which would require the Company to
issue 39,303,421 shares of common stock if all of the notes were
converted into shares of common stock.
If all outstanding warrants were exercised and all convertibles notes were
converted into shares of the Company's common stock the Company would not have
enough authorized but unissued shares to issue to the holders of the Company's
warrants and convertible notes.
The reverse split, if adopted, would not change the number of shares of
common stock which the Company is authorized to issue. However, a reverse split
would reduce the number of the Company's outstanding shares, which would enable
the Company to issue more shares than it would be able to issue if the reverse
split was not adopted.
If the reverse split is adopted, the Company:
o would still be authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock;
o would have 7,109,738 outstanding shares of common stock;
o would have outstanding warrants which will allow the holders to
acquire 999,963 shares of common stock; and
o would have outstanding convertible notes which will require the
Company to issue 655,057 shares of common stock if all of the notes
were converted into shares of common stock.
Fractional shares will be issued if the reverse stock split is approved.
At the present time, the Company's common stock trades on the
over-the-counter market system maintained by the OTC Markets Group.
The reverse stock split would not eliminate any shareholders, since
according to the Company's transfer agent, no shareholder owns less than 100
shares.
The Company has no plans to terminate the registration of its common stock
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a result of the reverse stock
split.
Accordingly, stockholders are being requested to approve a 1-for-60 reverse
split of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company's Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote for this
proposal.
AVAILABILITY OF ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31,
2021 is available at http://www.sec.gov/edgar/browse/?CIK=1280396&owner=exclude.
GENERAL
The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy,
accompanying notice and proxy statement, and all other costs in connection with
solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company including any additional
solicitation made by letter or telephone. Failure of a quorum to be present at
the meeting will necessitate adjournment and will subject the Company to
additional expense.
The Company's Board of Directors does not intend to present and does not
have reason to believe that others will present any other items of business at
the annual meeting. However, if other matters are properly presented to the
meeting for a vote, the proxies will be voted upon such matters in accordance
with the judgment of the persons acting under the proxies.
Please complete, sign and return the attached proxy card promptly.
