PROPOSAL 1:
AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
General On January 14, 2015, the board of directors of the Company approved an amendment, subject to shareholder approval, to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the our common stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-15 and not more than 1-for-40 (the Reverse Stock Split) at any time prior to December 31, 2015, with the Board of Directors (the Board) having the discretion as to whether or not the Reverse Stock Split is to be effected, and with the exact ratio of any Reverse Stock Split to be set at a whole number within the above range as determined by the Board in its discretion (the Corporate Actions). The Stockholders approved the Reverse Stock Split by written consent in lieu of a meeting on January 14, 2015. The Company currently has authorized 1,005,000,000 shares of capital stock, 1,000,000,000 of which are authorized as common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock) and 5,000,000 of which are authorized as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Preferred Stock).As of the Record Date, there were outstanding 357,666,447 shares of Common Stock and 4,400 shares of Series A preferred stock, respectively.
Purposes of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split
Satisfaction of Initial Listing Requirements of National Securities Exchange.
Our Board is submitting the Reverse Stock Split to our Stockholders for approval with the primary intent of increasing the market price of our Common Stock to enhance our ability to meet the initial listing requirements of either The NASDAQ Capital Market or NYSE MKT LLC and to make our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors.The Company currently does not have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the authorized but unissued shares that would become available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.In addition to increasing the market price of our Common Stock, the Reverse Stock Split would also reduce certain of our costs, as discussed below.Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the Companys and our Stockholders best interests. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will enhance our ability to obtain an initial listing on either The NASDAQ Capital Market or NYSE MKT LLC. The NASDAQ Capital Market requires, among other items, an initial bid price of least $4.00 per share and following initial listing, maintenance of a continued price of at least $1.00 per share.The NYSE MKT LLC requires, among other items, an initial bid price of least $3.00 per share and following initial listing, maintenance of a continued price of at least $1.00 per share. Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock should, absent otherfactors, increase the per share market price of our Common Stock, although we cannot provide any assurance that our minimum bid price would remain following the Reverse Stock Split over the minimum bid price requirement of any such stock exchange. Increase Our Common Stock Price to a Level More Appealing for Investors. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split could enhance the appeal of our Common Stock to the financial community, including institutional investors, and the general investing public.We believe that a number of institutional investors and investment funds are reluctant to invest in lower-priced securities and that brokerage firms may be reluctant to recommend lower priced stock to their clients, which may be due in part to a perception that lower-priced securities are less promising as investments, are less liquid in the event that an investor wishes to sell its shares, or are less likely to be followed by institutional securities research firms and therefore to have less third-party analysis of the company available to investors.We believe that the reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock caused by the Reverse Stock Split, together with the anticipated increased stock price immediately following and resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, may encourage interest and trading in our Common Stock and thus possibly promote greater liquidity for our Stockholders, thereby resulting in a broader market for our Common Stock than that which currently exists.
We cannot assure you that all or any of the anticipated beneficial effects on the trading market for our Common Stock will occur.Our Board of Directors cannot predict with certainty what effect the Reverse Stock Split will have on the market price of our Common Stock, particularly over the longer term.Some investors may view a Reverse Stock Split negatively, which could result in a decrease in our market capitalization.Additionally, any improvement in liquidity due to increased institutional or brokerage interest or lower trading commissions may be offset by the lower number of outstanding shares. Effect of Reverse Stock Split on Authorized Shares of Common Stock How a Reverse Stock Split Will Affect Securityholders . The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our Stockholders uniformly and will not affect any Stockholders percentage ownership interests in us, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our Stockholders owning a fractional share. No fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, the Company will issue to any stockholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split an additional full share of its Common Stock. New Shares will remain fully paid and nonassessable.
Depending on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our board of directors, a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 40 shares of existing Common Stock will be combined into one new share of Common Stock.The table below shows, as of the Record Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock that would result from the listed hypothetical Reverse Stock Split ratios (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares):
Reverse Stock Split Ratio
1-for-15
1-for-20
1-for-25
1-for-30
1-for-35
1-for-40
The actual number of shares issued after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by our Board. Effective Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock . The Reverse Stock Split, will not change the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock, which is 1,000,000,000, under our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance would increase.As explained in more detail below, these additional shares of Common Stock would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as acquisitions of companies or assets, sales of stock or securities convertible into Common Stock and raising additional capital.We believe that the availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment.We have no plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, at this time, to issue any of the additional available authorized sha res of Common Stock that would result from a Reverse Stock Split. The increased reserve of shares available for issuance may be used to facilitate public or private financings.If sufficient operating funds cannot be generated by operations, we may need to, among other things, issue and sell unregistered Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, in private transactions.We have no plans or agreements in place for any financing at this time.Such transactions might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all.We may sell Common Stock at prices less than the public trading price of the Common Stock at the time, and we may grant additional contractual rights to purchase not available to other holders of Common Stock, such as warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or anti-dilution protections.
The increased reserve of shares available for issuance would also give us the flexibility of using Common Stock to raise capital and/or as consideration in acquiring other businesses. Such acquisitions may be effected using shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into Common Stock and/or by using capital that may need to be raised by selling such securities. In addition, the increased reserve of shares available for issuance may be used for potential equity incentive plans for grants to our employees, consultants and directors, and those of our subsidiaries.Our Board of Directors believes that it is critical to incentivize our officers and employees, and those of our subsidiaries, to increase our revenues and profitability, and as a result, our market value, through equity incentive awards. Such equity incentive plans may also be used to attract and retain employees or in connection with potential acquisitions as we grant options to the employees of the acquired companies.Our board of directors believes that our ability to achieve our growth strategy may be impaired without additional shares of authorized Common Stock that could be used to provide such equity incentives.
The additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock may generally be issued from time to time for such proper corporate purposes as may be determined by our Board of Directors, without further action or authorization by our Stockholders, except for some limited circumstances where stockholder approval is required by law or the listing standards of any stock exchange on which our Common Stock may be listed at such time. The possible future issuance of shares of equity securities consisting of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock could affect our current Stockholders in a number of ways, including the following: diluting the voting power of the current holders of Common Stock; diluting the market price of the Common Stock, to the extent that the shares of Common Stock are issued and sold at prices below current trading prices of the Common Stock, or if the issuance consists of equity securities convertible into Common Stock, to the extent that the securities provide for the conversion into Common Stock at prices that could be below current trading prices of the Common Stock; diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of the outstanding shares of Common Stock; and making the payment of dividends on Common Stock potentially more expensive. Fractional Shares. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our Stockholders uniformly and will not affect any Stockholders percentage ownership interests in our company, except to the extent that the result of the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our Stockholders owning a fractional share.If this occurs, the fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share, including fractional shares that are less than one share.In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any Stockholders percentage ownership or proportionate voting power.The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. Effect on Voting Rights of, and Dividends on, Common Stock. Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of Common Stock would not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split.The percentage of outstanding shares owned by each Stockholder prior to the split will remain the same, except for adjustment as a consequence of rounding up any fractional shares created by the Reverse Stock Split to the next whole share, which is discussed in more detail under"Fractional Shares," above.For example, generally, a holder of two percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split would continue to hold two percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after a Reverse Stock Split. We have not in the past declared, nor do we have any plans to declare in the foreseeable future, any distributions of cash, dividends or other property, and we are not in arrears on any dividends.Therefore, we do not believe that a Reverse Stock Split would have any effect with respect to future distributions, if any, to our Stockholders. Effect on Registered and Beneficial Stockholders. Upon the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat Stockholders holding stock in "street name," through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered Stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders, holding the stock in "street name."However, such banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered Stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split.If you hold your shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your nominee.
Effect on Registered "Book-entry" Stockholder. Our registered Stockholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form.These Stockholders will not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the stock. These Stockholders are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.If you hold shares in book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-Reverse Stock Split shares.A transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record indicating the number of shares you hold. Effect on Registered Certificated Shares. Some of our registered Stockholders hold all their shares in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form.If any of your shares are held in certificate form, you do not need to take any action to exchange your stock certificate .Stockholders may continue to make sales or transfers using their old stock certificates.On request, we will issue new certificates to anyone who holds old stock certificates in exchange therefor.Any request for new certificates into a name different from that of the registered holder will be subject to normal stock transfer requirements and fees, including proper endorsement and signature guarantee, if required. Effect on Liquidity .The decrease in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity in our Common Stock if the anticipated beneficial effects on the trading market for our Common Stock do not occur.See "Purposes of the Proposed Reverse Stock Split," above. Potential Anti-Takeover Effect. If the Reverse Stock Split is approved, the increased proportion of authorized but unissued shares of our Common Stock to issued and outstanding shares thereof could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect.For example, such a change could permit future issuances of our Common Stock that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in composition of our board of directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of our company with another entity.The Reverse Stock Split, however, is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our Common Stock or to obtain control of us.
Effective Date of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split would become effective upon the filing and effectiveness (the "Effective Time") of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix A . In addition, our Board of Directors reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the Stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the Certificate of Amendment, our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our Company's best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. No Going Private Transaction Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the proposed Reverse Stock Split, our Board of Directors does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a "going private transaction" within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act. Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of a Reverse Stock Split The following summary of certain material federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences and is included for general information only.Further, it does not address any state, local, foreign or other income tax consequences, nor does it address the tax consequences to Stockholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities.The discussion is based on the United States federal income tax laws as of the date of this consent solicitation statement.Such laws are subject to change retroactively as well as prospectively.This summary also assumes that the shares of Common Stock are held as "capital assets," as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (i.e., generally, property hel d for investment).The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending on the facts and circumstances of such stockholder.EACH STOCKHOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH SUCH STOCKHOLDER'S TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.
No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon the stockholder's exchange of shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split.The aggregate tax basis of the shares received in the Reverse Stock Split will be the same as the stockholder's aggregate tax basis in the shares exchanged.The stockholder's holding period for the shares received in the Reverse Stock Split will include the period during which the stockholder held the shares surrendered as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.Our views regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would accept the positions expressed above.The state and local tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending on the state in which such stockholder resides. We will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Accounting Consequences and Effect on Registration of Common Stock Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 The par value of our Common Stock would remain unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Reverse Stock Split.However, the Common Stock as designated on our balance sheet would be adjusted downward in respect of the shares of the new Common Stock to be issued in the Reverse Stock Split such that the Common Stock would become an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares of new Common Stock being issued in the Reverse Stock Split, and that the additional paid in capital as designated on our balance sheet would be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Common Stock was decreased.Additionally, net income (loss) per share would increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Stock Split since there will be a lower number of shares outstanding. Our Common Stock is currently registered under the Exchange Act.A Reverse Stock Split would not affect the registration of our Common Stock under the Exchange Act.After the Reverse Stock Split, our Common Stock would continue to be reported on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board market under the symbol "SLTD." No Appraisal Rights Neither Delaware law nor our Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws provide our Stockholders with dissenters' or appraisal rights in connection with this proposal. ANNUALAND QUARTERLY REPORTS Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014, as filed with the SEC, excluding exhibits, are being mailed to Stockholders with this Information Statement.
