General Description of Corporate Action
On December 5, 2017,
the Majority Stockholders delivered an executed written consent in lieu of a special meeting authorizing and approving an amendment
to our Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of
our Common Stock, at an exchange ratio of up to one-for-One Hundred (1:100) shares (the “Reverse Split”), with the
Board maintaining the discretion of whether or not to implement the Reverse Split and at which exchange ratio to implement the
Reverse Split.
On December 5, 2017,
the Board unanimously approved the Amendment and the Reverse Split. The Board will effect the Reverse Split, if at all, by filing
the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, which will occur no sooner than 20 calendar days after the date this Information
Statement has been mailed to stockholders. After such 20-day period, the Board has the authority to effect the Reverse
Split at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the written consent of the Majority Stockholders. A form of
the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as
Appendix A
. No
further action on the part of our stockholders is required to authorize or effect the Reverse Split.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board believes
that the Reverse Split is in the best interest of our company and our stockholders for the reasons described herein. No assurance
can be given that any of the reasons cited in this Information Statement will ultimately be proven to be correct.
This Information Statement
contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Reverse Split.
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR
COMMON STOCK
The Board unanimously
approved the Amendment authorizing the Reverse Split, in the form attached hereto as Appendix A, which Amendment is incorporated
herein by reference. The following description of the Amendment is intended to be a summary only and is qualified in its entirety
by the terms of the Amendment.
General
The Board approved
a resolution authorizing a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at an exchange ratio of up to one-for-one hundred (1:100) shares. Pursuant
to the Reverse Split, depending on the exchange ratio determined by the Board, up to every one hundred shares of our Common Stock
will automatically be converted into one share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with
the foregoing combination; all shares of Common Stock that are held by a stockholder will be aggregated and each stockholder will
be entitled to receive the number of whole shares resulting from the combination of the shares so aggregated. Any fractions resulting
from the Reverse Split computation will be rounded up to the next whole share.
Our Board has not
yet determined whether to implement the Reverse Split. We may not implement the Reverse Split until twenty (20) days after the
mailing of an Information Statement under Regulation 14C to the company stockholders entitled to receive same. After such 20-day
period, the Board has the authority to effect the Reverse Split at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the
written consent of the Majority Stockholders. The Board may also abandon
the Reverse Split.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE
REVERSE SPLIT WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTERESTS IN OUR COMPANY, EXCEPT AS MAY RESULT FROM THE ISSUANCE OF WHOLE
SHARES IN EXCHANGE FOR ANY FRACTIONAL SHARES RESULTING FROM THE REVERSE SPLIT.
Purpose and Material Effects of the
Reverse Split
Our Common Stock is
currently listed on the OTC:QB. In order to maintain that listing we must satisfy various listing standards established by the
exchange, including minimum bid price requirements.
We also believe that
if we are successful in maintaining a higher stock price, the stock will generate greater interest among professional investors
and institutions. If we are successful in generating interest among such entities, we anticipate that our Common Stock would have
greater liquidity and a stronger investor base. After consulting with investment bankers and advisors, the Board approved the Reverse
Split at an exchange ratio of up to one-for-one hundred (1:100) shares. On December 5, 2017, the Majority Stockholders
consented to resolutions authorizing the Board to effect the Reverse Split, with the Board retaining the discretion of whether
to implement the Reverse Split and at which exchange ratio to effect the Reverse Split.
Our Board unanimously
approved the Reverse Split on December 5, 2017, but the Board has not yet determined whether to implement the Reverse Split. We
may not implement the Reverse Split until twenty (20) days after the mailing of an Information Statement under Regulation 14C to
company stockholders entitled to receive same. After such 20-day period, the Board has the authority to effect the Reverse Split
at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the written consent of the Majority Stockholders. We believe that granting the Board such discretion, including the discretion to determine
the exchange ratio of the Reverse Split at any exchange ratio of up to one-for-one hundred (1:100) shares, provides the Board with
maximum flexibility to react to prevailing market conditions, and the Board will implement the Reverse Split only upon its determination
that the Reverse Split is then in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.
The Reverse Split is
not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange
Act. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
Effect on Holders
of Common Stock.
The principal effect of the Reverse Split, assuming the Board implements the Reverse Split
at the maximum exchange ratio of one-for-one hundred (1:100) shares, will be that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding will be reduced from 876,353,113 shares to 8,763,531 shares (depending on the number of whole shares issued in exchange
for any fractional shares). Any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share,
as described below under “Fractional Shares.”
The Reverse Split
will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital
on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced to less than the present amount, and the additional paid-in
capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and
net book value of our Common Stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.
The Reverse Split
will not change the proportionate equity interests of our stockholders, nor will the respective voting rights and other rights
of stockholders be altered, except for possible immaterial changes as a result of the “rounding up” of fractional shares.
Our Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.
Stockholders should
recognize that they will own a fewer number of shares than they presently own (a number equal to the number of shares owned
immediately prior to the effective date of the Reverse Split divided by up to one hundred, depending on the exchange ratio selected
by the Board). While we expect that the Reverse Split will result in an increase in the potential market price of our Common Stock,
there can be no assurance that the reverse split will increase the potential market price of our Common Stock by a multiple equal
to the exchange number or result in the permanent increase in any potential market price (which is dependent upon many factors,
including our performance and prospects). Also, should the market price of our Common Stock decline, the percentage decline as
an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would pertain in the absence of
a reverse split. Furthermore, the possibility exists that potential liquidity in the market price of our Common Stock could be
adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Split. In addition, the Reverse
Split will increase the number of our stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots typically
will experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares, as well as possible greater difficulty in effecting such sales.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.
Effect on Holders
of Preferred Stock.
The Reverse Split will not reduce the number of shares of our Preferred Stock or the proportionate
equity interests of the holders of our Preferred Stock. As of the Record Date, the following series of Preferred Stock were issued
and outstanding: Series J Preferred Stock, Series K Preferred Stock and Series L Preferred Stock. We expect that the
Reverse Split will not affect the number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or the proportionate equity interests of the
holders of Preferred Stock, and will not otherwise affect the rights, preferences, or privileges of our Preferred Stock. For further
discussion of our Preferred Stock, see “Outstanding Voting Securities – Preferred Stock” appearing elsewhere
in this Information Statement.
Fractional Shares
We will not issue
fractional certificates for post-reverse split shares in connection with the reverse split. In order to avoid the expense and inconvenience
of issuing and transferring fractional shares of Common Stock to stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional
shares of Common Stock following the Reverse Split, all shares of Common Stock that are held by a stockholder will be aggregated
and each stockholder shall be entitled to receive the number of whole shares resulting from the combination of the shares so aggregated.
Any fractions resulting from the Reverse Split computation shall be rounded up to the next whole share.
Procedure For Exchange of Stock Certificates
We anticipate that
the Reverse Split will become effective, if at all, on a date as determined by the Board at least twenty (20) days after the mailing
of an Information Statement under Regulation 14C to stockholders entitled to receive same and prior to the one-year anniversary
of the date of the written consent of the Majority Stockholders. Beginning
on the effective date, each certificate representing pre-reverse split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence
ownership of post-reverse split shares.
Our transfer agent,
Corporate Stock Transfer & Trust Co., will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates.
We refer to such person as the “exchange agent.” Holders of pre-reverse split shares are asked to surrender to the
exchange agent certificates representing pre-reverse split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-reverse split
shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal enclosed with this Information Statement. No new
certificates will be issued to a stockholder until that stockholder has surrendered the stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s)
together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal.
Our stockholders are
not entitled to appraisal rights under the DGCL in connection with the Reverse Split.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD
NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse
Split
THE OVERALL EFFECT OF
THE REVERSE SPLIT MAY BE TO RENDER MORE DIFFICULT THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF MERGERS OR THE ASSUMPTION OF CONTROL BY A PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER,
AND THUS INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY OF REMOVING MANAGEMENT.
The effective increase
in our unissued shares could potentially be used by management to thwart a take-over attempt. The over-all effects of
the Amendment might be to render it more difficult to consummate or otherwise discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest,
or the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities and the removal of incumbent management. The Amendment
could make the accomplishment of a merger or similar transaction more difficult, even if it is beneficial to stockholders. Management
might use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction, favored by a majority of the independent stockholders,
that would provide an above market premium, by issuing additional shares to frustrate the take-over effort.
The Amendment is not
the result of management’s knowledge of an effort to accumulate the issuer’s securities or to obtain control of the
issuer by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise.
As discussed above,
the Reverse Split was approved by the Board. There are no rules or practices on any stock exchange that permit such exchange to
reserve the right to refuse to list or to de-list any stock which completes a reverse stock split.
Summary Of Reverse Split
Below is a brief summary
of the Reverse Split:
|
|
●
|
Assuming the Board effects the Reverse Split at the maximum exchange ratio of one-for-one hundred
(1:100) shares, the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be reduced on the basis of one post-stock split share of
our Common Stock for up to every one hundred pre-stock split shares of Common Stock outstanding (a ratio of 1:100). The Board may
implement the Reverse Split at a lesser exchange ratio. The consolidation shall not affect any rights, privileges or obligations
with respect to the shares of Common Stock existing prior to the consolidation.
|
|
|
●
|
Assuming the Board effects the Reverse Split at the maximum exchange ratio of one-for-one
hundred (1:100) shares, as a result of the reduction of our Common Stock, the pre-split total of issued and outstanding
shares of 876,353,113 shall be consolidated to a total of approximately 8,763,531 issued and outstanding shares (depending
on the number of fractional shares rounded up to whole shares).
|
|
|
●
|
The par value of our Common Stock will not change.
|
|
|
●
|
The Reverse Split will not affect the number of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock or the proportionate
equity interests of the holders of Preferred Stock.
|
|
|
●
|
The Reverse Split has been approved by the Board and the Majority Stockholders.
|
NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under the DGCL, stockholders are not entitled
to appraisal rights with respect to the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split and we will not
independently provide stockholders with any such right.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion
is a summary of certain federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split to us and the holders of our Common Stock. This
discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change
(possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations. This discussion only applies to stockholders that
are U.S. persons as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and does not describe all of the tax consequences
that may be relevant to a stockholder in light of his particular circumstances or to stockholders subject to special rules (such
as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign individuals and entities,
and persons who acquired their Common Stock as compensation). In addition, this summary is limited to stockholders that
hold their Common Stock as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of
any state, local or foreign jurisdiction or alternative minimum tax consequences. The tax treatment of each stockholder may vary
depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder.
WE URGE ALL STOCKHOLDERS
TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISERS TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES TO EACH OF THEM
OF THE REVERSE SPLIT.
We have not sought and
will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences
of the Reverse Split. We believe, however, that because the Reverse Split is not part of a plan to periodically increase or decrease
any stockholder’s proportionate interest in the assets or earnings and profits of our company, the Reverse Split should have
the federal income tax effects described below:
|
|
●
|
The exchange of pre-split shares for post-split shares should not result in recognition of gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes.
|
|
|
●
|
The stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the post-split shares would equal that stockholder’s
aggregate tax basis in the pre-split shares.
|
|
|
●
|
The stockholder’s holding period for the post-split shares will include such stockholder’s
holding period for the pre-split shares.
|
|
|
●
|
Provided that a stockholder held the pre-split shares as a capital asset, the post-split shares
received in exchange therefor would also be held as a capital asset.
|
Our company should not
recognize gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Split.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF REVERSE SPLIT
The Board will effect
the Reverse Split, if at all, by filing the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, which will occur no sooner than 20
calendar days after the date this Information Statement has been mailed to stockholders. After such 20-day period, the
Board has the authority to effect the Reverse Split at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of the written consent
of the Majority Stockholders. Our Board may also abandon the Reverse Split.
OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES
Our authorized capital
stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of the Record Date, we had
issued and outstanding:
|
|
●
|
876,353,113 shares of Common Stock;
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
1,000 shares of our Series J Preferred Stock;
|
|
|
●
|
227 shares of our Series K Preferred Stock; and
|
|
|
●
|
1,512 shares of our Series L Preferred Stock.
|
The number of voting
shares outstanding excludes shares of Common Stock subject to stock purchase warrants outstanding and shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance pursuant to our 2012 Performance Incentive Plan.
On or about December
5, 2017, the Majority Shareholders, which stockholders are the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of our
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together with our Common Stock on an as-converted basis, executed
and delivered to us a written consent approving the Reverse Split. As the Reverse Split was approved by the Majority Stockholders,
no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.
The DGCL provides
in substance that unless our Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise, stockholders may take action without a meeting of
stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the
stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which
all shares entitled to vote thereon were present.
Common Stock
The holders of our
Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by stockholders. Holders of our Common Stock are
entitled, among other things, (i) to share ratably in dividends if, when and as declared by the Board out of funds legally available
therefore and (ii) in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, to share ratably in the distribution
of assets legally available therefore, after payment of debts and expenses. Holders of our Common Stock have no subscription, redemption
or conversion rights. The holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors and have
no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of our capital stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders
of our Common Stock are subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock that may be issued and outstanding from time to time.
A vote of the holders of a majority of our Common Stock is generally required to take action under our Certificate of Incorporation
and Bylaws.
Preferred Stock
Under our Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, the Board can issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series.
Our board of directors is authorized to fix by resolution as to any series the designation and number of shares of the series,
the voting rights, the dividend rights, the redemption price, the amount payable upon liquidation or dissolution, the conversion
rights, and any other designations, preferences or special rights or restrictions as may be permitted by law. Unless the nature
of a particular transaction and the rules of law applicable thereto require such approval, the Board has the authority to issue
these shares of Preferred Stock without shareholder approval.
Series J Preferred
Stock
. Pursuant to its Certificate of Designation, the Series J preferred stock shall be voted together with the shares of
our common stock and any other series of preferred stock then outstanding, and not as a separate class, at any annual or special
meeting of stockholders, with respect to any question or matter upon which the holders of common stock have the right to vote,
such that the aggregate voting power of the Series J preferred stock is equal to 51% of the total voting power of the company.
The shares of the Series J preferred stock are not redeemable. Our Series A convertible preferred stock, Series B convertible preferred
stock, Series C convertible preferred stock, Series D convertible preferred stock, Series E convertible preferred stock, Series
F convertible preferred stock, Series G convertible preferred stock, Series H convertible preferred stock, and Series I convertible
preferred stock shall have a liquidation preference senior to the Series J preferred stock. No holder of Series J preferred stock
shall be entitled to redemption rights.
Series K Preferred
Stock
. Pursuant to its Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series K convertible preferred stock are convertible into
shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of the Series K convertible preferred stock
divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each share of Series K convertible preferred stock is $10,000, and the initial
conversion price shall be the lesser of $0.03 or the average closing price of the common stock for the five (5) trading days immediately
preceding, but not including, the conversion date, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations,
combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. The holders of Series K convertible preferred stock are not entitled to receive
dividends or entitled to any voting rights. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the company, the holders of Series
K convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the stated value of the Series K convertible preferred
stock, before any distribution or payment shall be made on any of the common stock of the company. Until the effectiveness of a
secondary registration statement to register the issuance and resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series
K convertible preferred stock, (i) during the first 180 days following the issuance of the Series K convertible preferred stock,
the holders of Series K convertible preferred stock are prohibited from exercising any conversion right more than three (3) times
in any five (5) day trading period, and the right to convert by any holder on any such trading day shall be limited to ten (10)
percent of the average daily trading volume for the common stock of the company over the prior ten (10) day period; (ii) from the
beginning of the 181
st
day until the twelve month anniversary of the issuance of the Series K convertible preferred
stock, the holders of Series K convertible preferred stock are prohibited from exercising any conversion right more than four (4)
times in any five (5) day trading period, and the right to convert by any holder on any such trading day shall be limited to ten
(10) percent of the average daily trading volume for the common stock of the company over the prior ten (10) day period; (iii)
from the beginning of the thirteenth month until the end of the fifteenth month following the issuance of the Series K convertible
preferred stock, each holder of Series K convertible preferred stock may exercise its conversion right on each trading day and
the right to convert by any holder on any such trading day shall be limited to fifteen (15) percent of the average daily trading
volume for the common stock of the company over the prior ten (10) day period; and (iv) from the beginning of the sixteenth month
following the issuance of the Series K convertible preferred stock, each holder of Series K convertible preferred stock may exercise
its conversion right on each trading day and the right to convert by any holder on any such trading day shall be limited to twenty
(20) percent of the average daily trading volume for the common stock of the company over the prior ten (10) day period. If at
any time less than 50% of the aggregate Series K convertible preferred stock originally issued remains unconverted, or only one
holder of Series K convertible preferred stock remains, each holder may exercise its conversion right on each trading day with
no limits on conversion. If on the five (5) year anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series K convertible preferred stock,
the holder thereof has not yet converted such Series K convertible preferred stock into common stock of the company, then the remaining
Series K convertible preferred stock shall automatically convert into common stock of the company at a conversion price equal to
the lesser of the initial conversion price or the average closing price of the common stock of the company on the five trading
days immediately preceding, but not including, such date.
Series L Preferred
Stock
. Pursuant to its Certificate of Designation, the shares of Series L convertible preferred stock are convertible into
shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of the Series L convertible preferred stock
divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each share of Series L convertible preferred stock is $10,000, and the initial
conversion price is 105% of the highest volume weighted average price for the five (5) days immediately preceding the conversion
date, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar
events. The holders of Series L convertible preferred stock are not entitled to receive dividends or entitled to any voting rights.
Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the company, the holders of Series L convertible preferred stock shall be entitled
to receive an amount equal to the stated value of the Series L convertible preferred stock, before any distribution or payment
shall be made on any of the common stock of the company. The holders of Series L convertible preferred stock are prohibited from
exercising any conversion right more than three (3) times in any five (5) day trading period, and the right to convert by any holder
on any such trading day shall be limited to ten (10) percent of the average daily trading volume for the common stock of the company
over the prior ten (10) day period. If on the ten (10) year anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series L convertible preferred
stock, the holder thereof has not yet converted such Series L convertible preferred stock into common stock of the company, then
the remaining Series L convertible preferred stock shall automatically convert into common stock of the company at a conversion
price equal to the closing price of the common stock of the company on the last trading day immediately preceding such date.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table

The
amounts and percentages of Common Stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination
of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of
a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of
such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A
person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership
within 60 days after, September 30, 2017. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of
the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no economic interest. Except
as indicated by footnote, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect
to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them.
In the table below,
the percentage of ownership of our Common Stock is based on 405,198,809 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Information
Statement may contain certain “forward-looking” statements (as that term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations and releases)
representing our expectations or beliefs regarding our company. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
to, statements regarding our business, anticipated financial or operational results, and our objectives. For this purpose, any statements contained herein
that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “might,” or
“continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements, by their nature, involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which
are beyond our control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors,
including factors discussed in this and other filings of ours with the SEC.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We are subject to
the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and in accordance therewith file reports, proxy statements and other
information, including annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q (the “1934 Act Filings”), with the SEC. Reports
and other information we file with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained at the SEC
at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20549. Copies of such material can be obtained upon written request addressed
to the SEC, Public Reference Section, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates. The SEC maintains a
web site on the Internet (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding
issuers that file electronically with the SEC through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).
DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
SHARING AN ADDRESS
We may send only one
Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions
from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and
postage costs. However, we will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of this Information Statement to
a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of this Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written
or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to
which we should direct the additional copy of this Information Statement, to us at 1030 Broad Street, Suite 102, Shrewsbury, NJ
07702, telephone: (561) 988-1988.
If multiple stockholders
sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer us to mail
each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the us at, our principal executive offices.
Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate
mailings and would prefer us to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request
may also be made by mail or telephone to our principal executive offices.
This Information Statement
is provided to the holders of Common Stock only for information purposes in connection with the actions, pursuant to and in accordance
with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act. Please carefully read this Information Statement.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
We will bear the entire
cost of furnishing this Information Statement. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like
parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our Common Stock held of record by them and will reimburse
such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.
This Information Statement
is being mailed on or about December 20, 2017 to all stockholders of record as of the Record Date. You are being provided with
this Information Statement pursuant to Section 14C of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C thereunder, and, in
accordance therewith, the Amendment will not be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Reverse Split
will not become effective until at least 20 calendar days after the mailing of an Information Statement to stockholders entitled
to receive same.

FIRST:
The name
of this corporation is InterCloud Systems, Inc.

the Certificate of Incorporation as follows:
Article Fourth of the
Certificate of Incorporation is hereby amended to provide that:
Effective as of the filing of
this Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a one (1) for 100 (1:100) reverse split of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation shall occur pursuant to which (i) every 100 (100) shares of outstanding Common
Stock of the Corporation shall be converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split
shall not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation or the par value per share
of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, such that immediately after the Reverse Split the total number of shares of all classes
of capital stock that the Corporation is authorized to issue will be 1,050,000,000, of which 1,000,000,000 shall be Common Stock
having a par value per share of $0.0001 and of which 50,000,000 shall be Preferred Stock having a par value per share of $0.0001.
No fractional share shall be issued in connection with the foregoing combination; all shares of Common Stock that are held by a
stockholder will be aggregated and each stockholder shall be entitled to receive the number of whole shares resulting from the
combination of the shares so aggregated. Any fractions resulting from the Reverse Split computation shall be rounded up to the
next whole share. Except as set forth above in this paragraph, Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation remains in full
force and effect.
