NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDER
The following action was taken based upon the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors and the written consent of the consenting stockholders:
I. AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
On May 30, 2022, the Board of Directors the consenting stockholders adopted and approved a resolution to effect an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock of 175,000,000 remains unchanged. Such amendment is referred to herein as the “Authorized Shares Amendment.”
Currently, New Momentum has 500,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which 176,168,548 shares were issued and outstanding on May 30, 2022. As a result of the Authorized Shares Amendment, New Momentum will have 1,000,000,000 shares of shares of common stock authorized for issuance, of which 7,830,872,701 will be available for issuance.
A table illustrating the Authorized Shares Amendment (discussed below) is as follows:
| | Number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding | | | Number of shares of common stock authorized in Articles of Incorporation (1) | | | Number of shares of common stock authorized and reserved for issuance | | Number of shares of common stock authorized but unreserved for issuance | |
Before Authorized Shares Amendment | | | 176,168,548 | | | | 500,000,000 | | | -0- | | | 323,831,452 | |
After Authorized Shares Amendment | | | 176,168,548 | | | | 1,000,000,000 | | | -0- | | | 823,831,452 | |
| (1) | Does not include 175,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, 1 share of which has been designated as Series A Preferred Stock and all of which are issued and outstanding. |
Giving effect to the Authorized Shares Amendment, New Momentum will still have 7,830,872,701 shares of common stock, all of which will be unreserved, but authorized for issuance. Any additional issuance of common stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of New Momentum by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of New Momentum. Shares of common stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Momentum by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the Board of the Directors to issue such additional shares of common stock could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of New Momentum by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of common stock to certain persons’ interests aligned with that of the Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.
While the increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized may have anti-takeover ramifications, the Board of Directors believes that the financial flexibility offered by the amendment outweighs any disadvantages. To the extent that the increase in the number of shares of common stock authorized may have anti-takeover effects, the amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire New Momentum to negotiate directly with the Board of Directors, enabling the Board of Directors to consider a proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders’ interests.
The Board of Directors believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of New Momentum to have available additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock in an amount adequate to provide for New Momentum’s future needs. The unissued shares of common stock will be available for issuance from time to time as may be deemed advisable or required for various purposes, including the issuance of shares in connection with financing or acquisition transactions. New Momentum has no present plans or commitments for the issuance or use of the proposed additional shares of common stock in connection with any financing.
The Authorized Shares Amendment is not intended to have any anti-takeover effect and is not part of any series of anti-takeover measures contained in any debt instruments or the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of New Momentum in effect on the date of this Information Statement. However, New Momentum stockholders should note that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares of common stock could make any attempt to gain control of New Momentum or the Board of Directors more difficult or time consuming and that the availability of additional authorized and unissued shares might make it more difficult to remove management. New Momentum is not aware of any proposed attempt to take over New Momentum or of any attempt to acquire a large block of New Momentum’s stock. New Momentum has no present intention to use the increased number of authorized common stock for anti-takeover purposes.
Effective Date
Under Rule 14c-2, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Authorized Shares Amendment shall be effective twenty (20) days after this Information Statement is mailed to stockholders of New Momentum.
