Last amendment to the AEGY share structure was 1/30/2012 which legally raised the AS to 250M from 100M.
2.5B AS in the intro ibox doesn't make it true or legal.
The only legal way to raise the AS of a public company is to amend the Articles of Incorporation in the state of incorporation and the current LEGAL AS is 250M as shown in the Florida amendment filed 1/30/2012.
Therefore the current LEGAL AS, in other words, the number of shares that can be legally issued is 250M and AEGY admits to the SEC in their most recent filing and shareholders that they have exceeded the AS by about 275M.
A public notice such as the SEC filing does NOT raise the AS, only a filing with the state of incorporation that controls the share structure can raise the AS of any company.
