PROXY STATEMENT

 

July 18, 2024

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card are being mailed to holders (the Shareholders”) of common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Visionary Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company for the special meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held online on August 9, 2024 (the “Meeting”).

 

 Voting By Registered Shareholders of Common Shares

 

When your Proxy Card is returned properly executed, the Common Shares it represents will be voted in accordance with your specifications. You have three choices as to your vote on each of the items described in this Proxy Statement that are to be voted upon at the Meeting. You may vote “for” or “against” each item or “abstain” from voting by marking the appropriate box.

 

If you sign and return your Proxy Card but do not specify any choices, you will thereby confer discretionary authority for your common shares to be voted as recommended by the Board. The Proxy Card also confers discretionary authority on the individuals named therein to vote on any variations to the proposed resolutions.

 

Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, you can be assured that your Common Shares are voted by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed Proxy Card to the attention of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at 105 Moatfield Dr. Unit 1003, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M3B 0A222F, not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for the Meeting. You may revoke your Proxy Card at any time before it is exercised by giving written notice thereof to the Secretary of the Company, by submitting a subsequently dated Proxy Card, by attending the Meeting and withdrawing the Proxy Card, or by voting in person at the Meeting.

 

Each holder of the Common Shares in the capital of the Company in issue and recorded in the Register of Members of the Company at the close of business on July 2, 2024, is entitled to one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, to one vote for each common share so held at the Meeting. All such common shares entitled to vote at the Meeting are referred to herein as “Record Shares.” The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the Record Shares will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Resolutions put to the vote at the Meeting will be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is, before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands, demanded by the Chairman of the Meeting or any holder of Record Shares present in person or by proxy. Every Shareholder of a Record Share present in person or by proxy is entitled to one vote on a show of hands and, on a poll, to one vote for each Record Share held.

 

If two or more persons are jointly registered as holders of a Common Share then in voting, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other holders of the common share and, for this purpose seniority, shall be determined by the order in which the names stand on the register of the Shareholders.

 

Proposal No. 3 seeks Shareholders' authorization to amend the Articles of Incorporation to empower the Board, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to issue in their sole discretion shares of Preference Stock in series. This amendment will allow the Board to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series, as well as any qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof.

 

Except as otherwise required by law, pursuant to the Articles, holders of Common Shares are not entitled to vote on any amendment to the Articles that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preference Shares if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation.

 

The Articles also provide that holders of Preference Shares may confirm, by casting at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast at a meeting of holders of the Preference Shares, any special resolution duly called for the purpose of amending the Articles to delete or vary any preference, right, condition, restriction, limitation, or prohibition attaching to the Preference Shares or to create special shares ranking in priority to or on a parity with the Preference Shares. Holders of Preference Shares have the right to cast one (1) vote per share on every poll taken at every such meeting or adjourned meeting in respect of each Preference Share held. It is noted that the Company currently has no issued Preference Shares.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

 

Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. The proposals, except for the Ratification of Auditors Proposal, will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your bank, broker or other nominee may deliver a Proxy Card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a broker, bank or other nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” The Ratification of Auditors Proposal will be considered discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or other nominee may vote your shares without your instruction.

 

With respect to the meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will have no effect on any of the Proposals.

 

 Certain Filings With SEC

PROPOSAL NO. 1.

 

AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY (THE “ARTICLES”) TO CREATE VOTING CLASS A AND CLASS B COMMON STOCK AND NON-VOTING CLASS C CAPITAL STOCK

 

Background

 

The Company currently has one class of common shares (the “Common Shares”). The Board of Directors proposes to amend the Articles to create three classes of Common Shares: Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Class C Capital Stock. The Board proposes that Class A and Class B Common Stock be the voting Common Shares; Class A Common Stock to be entitled to one (1) vote per share and Class B Common Stock to one hundred (100) votes per share, and that Class C Capital Stock be the non-voting common shares. This structure aims to provide flexibility in capital raising and governance, ensuring that the Company can attract diverse investors while maintaining effective control mechanisms. The proposed amended Articles are provided in Appendix A accompanying this proxy statement.

 

Reasons for the Board’s Recommendation

 

Enhanced Governance

 

Creating the voting Class A and Class B Common Stock allows the Company to maintain strategic control, particularly in decision-making processes.

 

Flexible Capital Raising

 

The non-voting Class C Capital Stock can be used to attract investment without diluting voting power, supporting capital raising while preserving control.

 

Alignment with Strategic Goals

 

The new share structure aligns with the Company's long-term strategic objectives, supporting growth and stability.

 

Risks for Investors

 

While the proposal aims to provide flexibility in capital raising and enhance governance, it also introduces several risks for investors and the company, such as the following:

 

Dilution of Voting Power

 

The creation of Class B Common Stock with 100 votes per share could significantly dilute the voting power of the existing Common Share Shareholders. This could lead to a concentration of control in the hands of Class B Common Stock Shareholders, potentially marginalizing the influence of Class A Common Stock Shareholders on corporate decisions.

 

Potential for Abuse of Control

 

The high voting power associated with Class B Common Stock can lead to an imbalance in corporate governance. This may allow Class B Common Stock shareholders to make decisions that primarily benefit their interests rather than those of the company or other shareholders, potentially leading to conflicts of interest.

 

Reduced Influence for Minority Shareholders

 

Class A and Class C Capital Stock shareholders might find their ability to influence corporate decisions significantly reduced. Minority shareholders may feel disenfranchised, leading to dissatisfaction and a potential decrease in shareholder engagement and loyalty.

 

 

 6 

 

 

Market Perception and Stock Value

 

The introduction of multiple classes of shares with different voting rights can be viewed negatively by the market. Investors might perceive this as a move to entrench control, potentially leading to a decline in stock value due to concerns over governance and minority shareholder rights.

 

Complexity and Administrative Burden

 

Managing multiple classes of shares can increase the complexity and administrative burden for the company. This can lead to higher costs and operational inefficiencies, potentially affecting the company’s overall performance.

 

Regulatory and Legal Challenges

 

The creation of new share classes and the associated changes in voting rights might attract regulatory scrutiny or legal challenges, especially from shareholders who feel disadvantaged. Such challenges can result in legal costs, delays, and potential reputational damage to the company.

 

Impact on Future Financing

 

The existence of multiple share classes, especially with disparate voting rights, might complicate future financing efforts. Potential investors may be wary of investing in a company where control is heavily skewed, which could limit the company’s ability to raise capital on favorable terms.

 

Conversion upon Liquidation

 

The automatic conversion of Class C Capital Stock into Class A Common Stock upon liquidation or certain corporate actions might create uncertainty or disputes regarding the valuation and treatment of these common shares. This could complicate liquidation proceedings and affect the distribution of assets among shareholders.

 

Shareholder Resolution

 

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the following special resolution (the "Common Shares Articles Amendment").

 

RESOLVED THAT:

 

1.The Board of Directors of the Company be and is hereby authorized to amend the Articles of Incorporation to create the voting Class A and Class B Common Stock and the non-voting Class C Capital Stock as detailed in Appendix A to this resolution, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
   
2.The Articles of the Company be amended to reflect this authorization, including the terms, rights, preferences, and limitations of the Class A and Class B Common Stock and Class Capital Stock.
   
3.Any director or officer of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such documents and to do all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing resolution, including making any necessary filings and obtaining any required approvals.

 

Schedule A

 

The complete Shareholder’s Resolution is provided in Schedule A accompanying this proxy statement.

 

 

 7 

 

 

Vote Required to Approve Proposal No. 1

 

For the Common Shares Articles Amendment to be approved, at least a two-thirds (2/3) of the common shares voted on the resolution must be cast FOR the proposal.

 

Board Recommendation

 

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favor of the Common Shares Articles Amendment. Unless the shareholder has specifically instructed otherwise in the form of proxy, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote for the approval of the Common Shares Articles Amendment.

PROPOSAL NO. 2.

 

AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND OF THE ARTICLES OF THE COMPANY TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD TO ISSUE IN SERIES AND ESTABLISH THE RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND LIMITATIONS OF THE PREFERENCE SHARES OF THE COMPANY

 

Background

 

The Board of Directors proposes amending the Articles of the Company to establish the rights, preferences, and limitations of preferred shares of the Company (the “Preference Shares”). This amendment will allow the Board to issue preference shares in series, with specific rights and preferences tailored to the needs of the Company and its strategic objectives. The proposed amended Articles are provided in Appendix B accompanying this proxy statement.

 

Reasons for the Board’s Recommendation

 

Strategic Flexibility

 

The ability to issue preference shares with tailored rights and preferences provides the Company with a versatile tool for financing and strategic partnerships.

 

Attracting Investment

 

Preference Shares can attract a wider range of investors, including those seeking specific income and risk profiles.

 

Financial Stability

 

Issuing preference shares can provide the Company with additional capital without diluting the voting power of common shareholders.

 

Risks for Investors

 

Dilution of Common Shareholder Influence

 

Preference Shares may be given certain rights and privileges that can dilute the influence of Common Shares holders, particularly if Preference Shares holders are given priority in dividend payments or liquidation. Common Shares holders may have reduced influence over corporate decisions, especially if Preference Shares carry significant voting rights or convert into voting shares under certain conditions.

 

Increased Financial Obligations

 

Issuing Preference Shares typically involves fixed dividend obligations, which the Company must meet regardless of its financial performance. These fixed obligations can strain the Company's cash flow, especially during periods of lower profitability, potentially impacting its financial stability and ability to invest in growth opportunities.

 

Complexity and Administrative Burden

 

Managing multiple series of Preference Shares with different rights, preferences, and restrictions can increase the complexity and administrative burden on the Company. This complexity can lead to higher administrative costs and potential inefficiencies in governance and management.

 

Potential for Conflicts of Interest

 

The introduction of Preference Shares can create conflicts of interest between Preference Shares holders and Common Shares holders, particularly if their interests are not aligned. Such conflicts can complicate corporate governance and decision-making processes, potentially leading to disputes and inefficiencies.

Market Perception

 

The market might perceive the issuance of preference shares as a signal that the Company is facing financial challenges or needs to raise capital urgently. Negative market perception can lead to a decline in the Company's stock price and reduced investor confidence.

 

Regulatory and Compliance Risks

 

Issuing Preference Shares must comply with various securities laws and regulations, which can be complex and subject to change. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal challenges, fines, and other penalties, potentially harming the Company's reputation and financial health.

 

Preference Over Common Shares in Liquidation

 

In the event of liquidation, Preference Shares holders typically have priority over Common Shares holders in the distribution of assets. This priority can reduce the residual value available to Common Shares holders, potentially resulting in significant losses for them.

 

Shareholder Resolution

 

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the following special resolution (the " Preference Shares Articles Amendment").

 

RESOLVED THAT:

 

1.The Board of Directors of the Company be and is hereby authorized to amend the Articles of the Company to establish the rights, preferences, and limitations of the preference shares as detailed in Appendix B to this resolution, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations..
   
2.The Articles of the Company be amended to reflect this authorization, including the terms, rights, preferences, and limitations of the preference shares.

PROPOSAL NO. 3.

 

AUTHORIZE THE INCREASE OF THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY FROM FIVE (5) TO NINE (9)

 

Background

 

The Articles of the Company provide that the number of directors for the Company is a range with a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of ten (10).

 

The Board of Directors believes that increasing the number of directors from five (5) to nine (9) will enhance the governance structure of the Company and support its strategic objectives. An expanded board will allow for a broader range of expertise, experience, and perspectives, which are essential for making informed decisions and guiding the Company through its next phase of growth. Additionally, the increased number of directors will help to distribute the workload more effectively and improve oversight and governance practices.

 

Reasons for the Board’s Recommendation

 

Enhanced Expertise and Diversity

 

Increasing the number of directors will provide the Company with access to a broader range of skills, experiences, and viewpoints. This diversity is crucial for innovative problem-solving and strategic decision-making.

 

Improved Oversight

 

A larger board can lead to more effective oversight of the Company’s management and operations, helping to ensure that all aspects of the business are scrutinized thoroughly.

 

Strategic Growth

 

As the Company grows and diversifies its operations, having a larger board will support its ability to manage this complexity and execute its strategic plans effectively.

 

Workload Distribution

 

With more directors, responsibilities can be distributed more evenly, allowing for more specialized attention to various committees and areas of governance.

 

Risks for Investors

 

While increasing the number of directors on the Board can bring various benefits, such as enhanced expertise and improved oversight, it also introduces several risks, such as:

 

Decision-Making Complexity

 

A larger Board may lead to more complex and time-consuming decision-making processes. Increased complexity can result in slower responses to emerging challenges and opportunities, potentially hindering the Company's agility and efficiency.

 

Higher Costs

 

An increase in the number of directors can result in higher administrative and compensation costs. These additional costs can impact the Company's financial resources and potentially reduce profitability.

PROPOSAL NO. 4.

 

AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY TO CONVERT ALL OF THE SHARES HELD BY SHAREHOLDER 3888 INVESTMENT GROUP LIMITED INTO CLASS B COMMON STOCK

 

Background

 

Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited is the record owner of 1,516,668 Common Shares and is the majority holder of the Company's Shares. The sole owner of 3888 Investment Group Limited is Mrs. Fan Zhou, who may be deemed the beneficial owner of common shares held by 3888 Investment Group Limited. Mrs. Fan Zhou is the founder of our Company and has served as the Chief Executive Officer, Director and Chairperson of the Board of the Company. She resigned from the positions of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairperson of the Company on February 6, 2024.

 

The Company currently has one class of Common Shares. The Board recommends, as outlined in Proposal No. 1, that the Shareholders authorize the creation of three classes of common shares (as described in Proposal No.1). Upon approval of Proposal No. 1, Class A Common Stock shall have one (1) vote per share, while Class B Common Stock shall have one hundred (100) votes per share. The proposed conversion of all shares held by Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited into Class B Common Stock is intended to consolidate voting power, thereby providing enhanced control to the majority shareholder to drive strategic decisions and growth initiatives.

 

Reasons for the Board’s Recommendation

 

Enhanced Strategic Control

 

By converting Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited’s shares into Class B Common Stock, the Company aims to provide its majority shareholder with greater voting power, enabling more decisive and strategic decision-making.

 

Stability and Long-Term Vision

 

Concentrated voting power with Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited will allow for a more stable governance structure and ensure that the Company can pursue its long-term strategic vision without undue interference.

 

Alignment of Interests

 

This conversion aligns the interests of the majority shareholder with the long-term success of the Company, fostering an environment where strategic initiatives can be implemented effectively.

 

Risks for Investors

 

Concentration of Voting Power

 

Converting Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited’s shares into Class B Common Stock (which have 100 votes per share) significantly increases the concentration of voting power in the hands of a single shareholder. This can reduce the influence of other shareholders on corporate decisions, potentially leading to governance issues and decisions that may not reflect the interests of minority shareholders.

 

Reduced Influence of Minority Shareholders

 

Minority shareholders may feel disenfranchised as their ability to impact decisions through voting is diminished. This can lead to a lack of checks and balances on the majority shareholder, potentially resulting in decisions that favor the majority shareholder’s interests over those of minority shareholders.

 

 

 13 

 

 

Potential for Governance Issues

 

The significant voting power of Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited might result in governance practices that are less transparent and less accountable. This can lead to concerns about the oversight of management, potential conflicts of interest, and the overall direction of the Company.

 

Market Perception and Share Value

 

The market may perceive the increased concentration of power negatively, potentially impacting the Company's stock price. Investors might be concerned about the future governance and strategic direction of the Company, leading to a decrease in investor confidence and share value.

 

Potential for Strategic Misalignment

 

The strategic goals of Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited might not align with those of other investors. This misalignment can lead to strategic decisions that benefit the majority shareholder but may not necessarily enhance the overall value of the Company or align with the broader investor base’s interests.

 

Regulatory and Legal Risks

 

The conversion of shares could attract scrutiny from regulatory bodies, especially if minority shareholders feel unfairly treated. Potential legal challenges or regulatory interventions could arise, leading to increased costs and uncertainty for the Company and its shareholders.

 

Additional Notes for Shareholders

 

Shareholders are encouraged to vote in favor of this proposal. The Board believes that converting Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited’s shares into Class B Common Stock will enhance the Company’s governance and support its strategic objectives, thereby benefiting all Shareholders in the long term.

 

Shareholder Resolution:

 

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the following special resolution (the "Shares Conversion").

 

RESOLVED THAT:

 

1.The Board of Directors of the Company be and is hereby authorized to convert all the shares held by Shareholder 3888 Investment Group Limited into Class B Common Stock, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

 

2.Any director or officer of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such documents and to do all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing resolution, including making any necessary filings and obtaining any required approvals.

 

Schedule D

 

The complete Shareholder’s Resolution is provided in Schedule D accompanying this proxy statement.

 

Vote Required to Approve Proposal No. 4

Board Recommendation

 

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favor of the Shares Conversion. Unless the shareholder has specifically instructed otherwise in the form of proxy, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote for the approval of the Shares Conversion.

PROPOSAL NO. 5.

 

AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO APPROVE THE ISSUANCE OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK AND CLASS C CAPITAL STOCK

 

Background

 

The Board of Directors believes that authorizing the issuance of Class A Common Stock and Class C Capital Stock is essential for the Company’s growth and strategic development. Class A Common Stock will provide a means to raise capital while maintaining voting equity, as these shares have one (1) vote per share. Class C Capital Stock, which has no voting rights, can be used to attract investment without diluting the voting power of existing shareholders. This flexibility will enable the Company to pursue various financing opportunities and strategic partnerships.

 

Reasons for the Board’s Recommendation

 

Capital Raising

 

The ability to issue Class A Common Stock will provide the Company with a mechanism to raise additional capital needed for expansion, research and development, and other growth initiatives.

 

Strategic Flexibility

 

The issuance of Class C Capital Stock allows the Company to attract investment without affecting the voting power of existing shareholders, maintaining the current balance of control.

 

Investor Attraction

 

Offering different classes of shares with varied rights can appeal to a broader range of investors with diverse investment preferences, enhancing the Company's ability to secure necessary funding.

 

Growth and Development

 

The additional capital and strategic flexibility will support the Company’s efforts to expand its operations, enter new markets, and invest in innovative projects, thereby creating greater value for all shareholders.

 

Risks to Investors

 

Dilution of Ownership

 

The issuance of additional Class A Common Stock will dilute the ownership percentage of existing shareholders. This dilution can reduce the voting power and potential earnings per share for current shareholders, potentially lowering the value of their investment.

 

Market Perception

 

The market may perceive the issuance of new shares as a sign that the Company needs capital, which could be interpreted negatively. Negative market perception can affect investor confidence and lead to volatility in the stock price.

 

No Voting Rights for Class C Capital Stock

 

Class C Capital Stock do not have voting rights. Investors holding Class C Capital Stock will not have a say in corporate governance matters, potentially limiting their influence on important company decisions.

 

 

 15 

 

 

Use of Proceeds

 

There is uncertainty about how the proceeds from the issuance of new shares will be used. If the capital raised is not used effectively to generate growth or improve the Company’s financial position, it could negatively impact the Company’s performance and shareholder value.

 

Regulatory and Compliance Risks

 

The issuance of new shares must comply with applicable securities laws and regulations. Any failure to comply with these regulations can lead to legal challenges, fines, and other penalties, which could negatively affect the Company’s reputation and financial health.

 

Management’s Discretion

 

The Board of Directors will have broad discretion to issue new shares. There is a risk that the Board’s decisions regarding the issuance of new shares may not align with the interests of all shareholders, potentially leading to conflicts of interest.

 

Increased Supply of Shares

 

The increase in the number of shares available in the market can affect the stock’s supply-demand dynamics. An increased supply of shares without a corresponding increase in demand could result in a decrease in the share price.

 

Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the following special resolution (the "Board Share Issuance").

 

RESOLVED THAT:

 

1.The Board of Directors of the Company be and is hereby authorized to approve the issuance of Class A Common Stock and Class C Capital Stock as deemed necessary for the development and growth of the Company's business, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
   
2.The Articles of the Company be amended to reflect this authorization, including the terms, rights, preferences, and limitations of the Class A Common Stock and Class C Capital Stock.
   
3.Any director or officer of the Company be, and each of them hereby is, authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to execute and deliver all such documents and to do all such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the foregoing resolution, including making any necessary filings and obtaining any required approvals.
