ACTION: TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF FROM 1,500,000,000 TO 3,000,000,000

On September 2, 2015, our Board of Directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of the holder of a majority of our outstanding voting stock, an amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”), to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock we may issue from 1,500,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 (the “Share Increase”). The Majority Stockholder approved the Restated Articles pursuant to a written consent dated as of September 2, 2015. The Restated Articles effecting the share increase will become effective following filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, which will occur promptly following the 20th day after the filing of the Definitive Information Statement.

We are currently authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation to issue 1,500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, 100,000,000 shares of Series A common stock, $0.001 par value per shares and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. Pursuant to the Amendment we will increase the number of common shares we are authorized to issue to 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of the date the Amendment was approved by our Board and the Majority Stockholder, there were 1,279,805,296 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Reasons for the Share Increase

Our Board believes it is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock to allow for the issuance of shares of our common stock or other securities in connection with such potential issuances and such other purposes as the Board determines. The Board believes that the Share Increase will afford the Company greater flexibility in seeking capital and potential acquisition targets. The Board has no immediate plans, understandings, agreement or commitments to issue shares of Common Stock for any purposes.

Effect of the Share Increase

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 stockholder approval prior to any issuance of the authorized capital stock unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law or stock market or exchange requirements. Our issuance of additional shares of common stock may result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders, and such issuances may not require stockholder approval.

Anti-Takeover

We presently do not have in place provisions which may have an anti-takeover effect. The increase in the authorized number of shares of our common stock did not result from our knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise, and we did not take such action to increase the authorized shares of our common stock to enable us to frustrate any efforts by another party to acquire a controlling interest or to seek representation on our Board.

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 stockholders.

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. 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.
