We obtained the approval of the holders of 43,514,274(float number) shares of Common Stock. Our executive officers and directors, Alan Morell, James Ennis and Michael Vandetty in the aggregate beneficially own 16,097,000 or approximately 19.1% of our outstanding Common Stock, and all of such shares were voted in favor of the amendment.
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
The Board believes the Authorized Share Increase is necessary and advisable in order to maintain our financing, capital raising ability expansion strategy, and to generally maintain our flexibility in today’s competitive and rapidly changing environment. The additional three hundred million (300,000,000) shares of Common Stock so authorized will be available for issuance by the Board for stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of Common Stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are no immediate plans to do so. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company’s business or the trading price of the Common Stock. Other than issuances pursuant to employee benefit plans and currently outstanding stock options,the Board has no current plans to issue any of the additional shares of Common Stock that would be authorized by this proposal. The Company does not anticipate that it would seek authorization from the stockholders for issuance of such additional shares unless required by applicable law or regulations.
The Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and has not presented this proposal with the intention that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common stock be used as a type of anti takeover device. Any additional Common Stock, when issued, would have the same rights and preferences as the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding.
AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
Amendment to Articles of Incorporation to Authorize the Creation of 10,000,000 Shares of “Blank Check” Preferred Stock
We believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we will need to raise investment capital and it may be preferable or necessary to issue preferred stock to investors. Preferred stock usually grants the holders certain preferential rights in voting, dividends, liquidation and/or other rights in preference over the Common Stock. Accordingly, in order to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for the Company, or as may be required by the capital markets, the Certificate of Amendment will create 10,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock for us to issue.
Since we do not know what the terms of any future series of preferred stock would be, the Certificate of Amendment authorizes the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock. The term “blank check” refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by the stockholders, and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by the Board of Directors upon issuance. The authorization of such blank check preferred stock would permit the Board to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series. The Certificate of Amendment will provide us with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security in addition to our Common Stock, as it will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by the Board for any proper corporate purpose.
