(1)Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. All shares of common stock subject to options or warrants exercisable within 60 days of June 26, 2012 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the persons holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and the percentage ownership of that person. They are not, however, deemed to be outstanding beneficially owned for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Subject to the paragraph above, the percentage ownership of outstanding shares is based on 52,692,133 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 26, 2012.
The Company does not have any change of control or retirement arrangements with its executive officers.
ACTION NO. 1
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
OF CAPITAL STOCK
GENERAL
The number of authorized shares of our capital stock will be increased from Seventy-Five Million (75,000,000) shares to Eight Hundred Million (800,000,000) shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”).
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
The Board believes the Authorized Share Increase is necessary in order to maintain our capital raising ability and to generally maintain our flexibility in today’s competitive and rapidly changing environment. The additional Seven Hundred and Twenty-Five Million (725,000,000) shares of authorized capital stock will be available for issuance by the Board, stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The Company has currently undertaken a registration statement pursuant to a financing agreement and the Board wishes to ensure that there is sufficient authorized stock to be able to complete the fund raising if required. The additional shares of authorized capital 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 currently no 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 our Common Stock.
The increase in the authorized number of shares of capital stock and any subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Shares of authorized and unissued capital stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of additional shares of capital stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. 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.
Effect on Shareholders
The amendment to our Company's Articles to increase our authorized share capital will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, our board of directors will have the authority to issue authorized common stock without requiring future shareholders approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or exchange regulations. To the extent that additional authorized common shares are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing shareholders' percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing shareholders.
Shares of authorized and unissued common stock could be issued (within limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions. Any such issuance of additional stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of common stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of our Company.
We do not have any provisions in our Articles, by laws, or employment or credit agreements to which we are party that have anti-takeover consequences. We do not currently have any plans to adopt anti-takeover provisions or enter into any arrangements or understandings that would have anti-takeover consequences. In certain circumstances, our management may issue additional shares to resist a third party takeover transaction, even if done at an above market premium and favored by a majority of independent shareholders.
Shareholder approval for the increase of our authorized share capital and the required amendment to our Articles was obtained on June 26, 2012 by written consent of Rick Walchuk, GeoXplor, Dandasia Limited and Winter Nights Ventures Corp. collectively representing a total of 27,875,000 of all of our issued and outstanding common shares. The increase of our authorized share capital will not become effective until no less than twenty (20) days have passed after this Information Statement is first mailed to shareholders of our common stock and until the appropriate filings have been made with the Nevada Secretary of State.
