This
Information Statement is first being sent to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2024. The action contemplated

WE

YOU
ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
The
corporate action is taken by consent of the holders of a majority of the voting shares outstanding, and pursuant to Delaware law and
the Company’s Bylaws that permit holders of a majority of the voting power to take a stockholder action by written consent. Proxies
are not being solicited because the stockholders holding the majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding voting capital
stock of the Company have voted in favor of the proposals contained herein.

STATEMENT
WE
ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
General
Information
This
Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of HUMBL, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection
with the adoption of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation by written consent of our Board of Directors and
the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities in lieu of a special meeting. On August 29, 2024 our Board
of Directors approved and, on August 29, 2024 the holders of a majority of our voting capital stock approved an amendment to our Certificate
of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock, $.00001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), from 22,500,000,000
to 50,000,000,000 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment will become effective 20 calendar days after the definitive Schedule 14C
is first sent to our shareholders in accordance with SEC Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Voting
Securities
As
of the date of this Information Statement, our voting securities consist of our Common Stock, of which 18,917,717,858 shares are
outstanding, 7,000,0000 shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 and 365,013 shares of Series B preferred stock, par
value $0.00001 per share, and 100,000 shares of Series D preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (the Series A, B and D preferred stock
collectively, the “Preferred Stock”, and together with the Common Stock, the “Voting Stock”) that vote on an
as-converted basis. Approval of the Amendment requires the affirmative consent of a majority of the shares of our Voting Stock
issued and outstanding at August 29, 2024 (the “Record Date”). The quorum necessary to conduct business of the
stockholders consists of a majority of the Voting Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.
Our
majority stockholder who beneficially owns 11,894,304 shares of Common Stock, 7,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock 198,421 shares
of Series B preferred stock, and 100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock is the “Consenting Stockholder.” The holder of
Series A preferred stock is entitled to cast that number of votes equal to 1,000 shares of Common Stock per share of Series A preferred
stock, the holders of Series B preferred stock are entitled to cast that number of votes equal to 10,000 shares of Common Stock per share
of Series B preferred stock, and the holder of Series D preferred stock is entitled to cast that number of votes equal to 500,000 shares
of Common Stock per share of Series D preferred stock. The Consenting Stockholder is Brian Foote, our current Chairman, President and
CEO. The Consenting Stockholder has the power to vote the majority of our Voting Stock, which number exceeds the majority of the issued
and outstanding shares of our Voting Stock on the date of this Information Statement. The Consenting Stockholder has consented to the
proposed action set forth herein and had the power to pass the proposed corporate action without the concurrence of any of our other
stockholders.
The
approval of this action by written consent is made possible by Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides that
the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would
be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be
substituted for such a meeting. To eliminate the costs involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors elected to utilize
the written consent of the holders of more than a majority of our Voting Stock.
This
Information Statement will be sent on or about September 11, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the Record Date and is being delivered
to inform you of the corporate action described herein before such action takes effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The
entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians,
fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our voting securities held of record
by them, and we will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.
Dissenters’
Right of Appraisal
The
Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide for dissenter’s rights of appraisal in connection with the proposed actions nor
have we provided for appraisal rights in our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws.
PROPOSAL
1 - AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Our
Board of Directors unanimously approved and adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock from 22,500,000,000 to 50,000,000,000. Attached as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by reference is the text of the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Certificate”)
as approved by the Consenting Stockholder to effect this change.
Certificate
of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain
provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, which are summarized below, may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of us. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking
to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our
potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire
us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Board
of Directors Vacancies
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize only our Board of Directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats.
In addition, the number of directors constituting our Board of Directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by
a majority vote of our entire Board of Directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our Board
of Directors and then gaining control of our Board of Directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This will make
it more difficult to change the composition of our Board of Directors and will promote continuity of management.
Stockholder
Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders
Our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by a majority of our Board of Directors,
the chairperson of our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer or our President, thus prohibiting a stockholder from calling
a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders
controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Advance
Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our
Bylaws provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate
candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our also specify certain requirements regarding the form
and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual
meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not
followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies
to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
No
Cumulative Voting
The
Delaware General Corporation Law provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a
corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative
voting.
Amendment
of Charter and Bylaws Provisions
Amendments
to our Certificate of Incorporation will require the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Our Bylaws provide that they can be amended or repealed by our Board of Directors or the
approval of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the stockholders that includes our Series A and Series B preferred
voting together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.
Issuance
of Undesignated Preferred Stock
Our
Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred
stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our Board of Directors. The existence of
authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt
to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.
Exclusive
Forum
Our
Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any
derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of
our directors, officers, or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the company or any
director or officer of the company arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, (iv) any action to interpret,
apply, enforce, or determine the validity of our amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation or amended and restated Bylaws, or
(v) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be the Chancery Court of the State of
Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having jurisdiction over indispensable parties named as defendants. Our Bylaws also
provide that the federal district court in the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a
cause of action under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Any
person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to
these provisions. We note that stockholders cannot waive compliance (or consent to non-compliance) with the federal securities laws and
the rules and regulations thereunder.
We
are not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and are not presenting this proposal with the intent that it be utilized
as a type of anti−takeover device.
VOTING
SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The
column entitled “Percentage of Class” is based on 18,917,717,858 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 29, 2024.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with
respect to our common stock. Shares of our common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days
of August 29, 2024 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options for the purpose of calculating
the percentage ownership of that person but not for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as
otherwise noted, we believe the persons and entities in this table have sole voting and investing power with respect to all of the shares
of our common stock beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable.
Brian
Foote has voting control through his ownership of 7,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, 198,421 Series B preferred stock, and
100,000 shares of Series D preferred stock. Each share of Series A preferred stock, Series B preferred stock and Series D preferred stock
entitles the holder to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders with each share of Series A preferred having 1,000
votes, each share of Series B preferred having 10,000 votes, and each share of Series D preferred stock having 500,000 votes.
