NOTICE OF ACTION
TAKEN WITHOUT A STOCKHOLDER MEETING
Date of Mailing:
January 21, 2019
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF VIVA ENTERTAINMENT
GROUP, INC.:
The attached
Information Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (the "Company,"
"we" or "us"). The Company, a Nevada corporation, is a public company registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
On April 15, 2016, Mr. Falcones was
provided 75,000,000 shares of super-voting Series “A” Preferred Stock pursuant to his employment agreement. These shares
vote with the common stock and are entitled to 100 votes per share. Thus, the Series “A” Preferred Stock has 7,500,000,000
votes and, always since their issuance, has controlled the Company.
Issuance of the Series “A”
Preferred Stock required an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which was approved by Mr. Falcones based
on his ownership of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock at the time his Employment Agreement was created and
approved. The Form 3 that was filed on behalf of Mr. Falcones with the SEC indicates that Mr. Falcones owned 43,629,371 shares
of common stock on April 18, 2016, or approximately 59.6% of the Issuer’s voting power prior to the issuance of the Series
“A” Preferred Stock. This provided Mr. Falcones with the ability to approve the Amendment of the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock in both his capacity as sole Director and as majority shareholder.
Pursuant to
that majority shareholder status, Mr. Falcones approved and hereby ratified all listed corporate transactions below filed with
the Nevada Secretary of State

[1]
Shareholder
approval was not required for the Certificate of Change/Reverse Stock Split based on the Nevada Revised Statutes, “N.R.S.”.
However, it is being ratified in an abundance of caution.
On April 15, 2016, Mr. Falcones was
provided 75,000,000 shares of super-voting Series “A” Preferred Stock pursuant to his employment agreement. These shares
vote with the common stock and are entitled to 100 votes per share. Thus, the Series “A” Preferred Stock has 7,500,000,000
votes and, always since their issuance, has controlled the Company.
Issuance of the Series “A”
Preferred Stock required an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which was approved by Mr. Falcones based
on his ownership of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock at the time his Employment Agreement was created and
approved. The Form 3 that was filed on behalf of Mr. Falcones with the SEC indicates that Mr. Falcones owned 43,629,371 shares
of common stock on April 18, 2016, or approximately 59.6% of the Issuer’s voting power prior to the issuance of the Series
“A” Preferred Stock. This provided Mr. Falcones with the ability to approve the Amendment of the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock in both his capacity as sole Director and as majority shareholder.
Subsequently,
on December 22, 2018, the majority shareholder holding approximately
99.73%
, of our issued
and outstanding $0.0001 par value common stock ("Common Stock") consented in writing to amend the Company's Articles
of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"). This consent was enough to initially approve and ratify the above-
mentioned corporate transactions under Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation.
On January 9, 2019, the
majority stockholder holding approximately 99.73%, of our issued and outstanding Common Stock (and thus a majority of our
voting power) consented in writing to a Certificate of Amendment. This consent was enough to approve the Certificate of
Amendment Nevada law.
2
Additionally, the Certificate of Amendment provides,
inter alias, that the Directors of the Company shall have the ability to create “blank check” preferred stock that
allows the Board to control the creation, issuance and change of series and/or class of shares without shareholder
consent.
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION OF THE COMPANY'S
STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE
REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
There are no stockholder dissenters'
or appraisal rights in connection with any of the matters discussed in this Information Statement.
Please read this Notice and Information
Statement carefully and in its entirety. It describes the terms of the actions taken by the stockholders.
Although you will not have an opportunity
to vote on the approval of the Certificate of Amendment, this Information Statement contains important information about the Certificate
of Amendment.

INFORMATION
STATEMENT
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
This Information
Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company,"
"we" or "us"), to advise them of the corporate actions that have been authorized by written consent of one
of the Company's stockholders, which owns approximately 99.73% of the Company's common stock as of the record date of January 9,
2019 (the "Record Date"). These actions are being taken without notice, meetings or votes in accordance with the Nevada
Revised Statutes (N.R.S.) Section78.320 and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. This Information Statement is being
mailed to the stockholders of the Company, as of the Record Date, on January 10, 2019.
On December 22, 2018, the Board of Directors,
relying on Mr. Falcones’ employment agreement, re-approved and ratified the creation and issuance of 75,000,000 shares of
super-voting Series “A” Preferred Stock to Mr. Falcones. These shares vote with the common stock and are entitled to
100 votes per share. Thus, the Series “A” Preferred Stock has 7,500,000,000 votes and, at all times since their issuance,
controlled the Company. This majority status allowed Mr. Falcones to consent to the aforementioned corporate transactions.
On January
9, 2019, pursuant to the aforementioned, the majority stockholder holding approximately 99.73%, of our issued and outstanding Common
Stock (and thus a majority of our voting power) consented in writing to a Certificate of Amendment provides that the Directors

AMENDMENT
TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION CREATING “BLANK CHECK” PREFERRED STOCK.
General
Our Articles of Incorporation currently
do not authorize the issuance of preferred stock.
However, On April 15, 2016, Mr. Falcones
was provided 75,000,000 shares of super-voting Series “A” Preferred Stock pursuant to his employment agreement. These
shares vote with the common stock and are entitled to 100 votes per share. Thus, the Series “A” Preferred Stock has
7,500,000,000 votes and, always since their issuance, has controlled the Company.
Issuance of the Series “A”
Preferred Stock required an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which was approved by Mr. Falcones based
on his ownership of a majority of the Company’s shares of common stock at the time his Employment Agreement was created and
approved. The Form 3 that was filed on behalf of Mr. Falcones with the SEC indicates that Mr. Falcones owned 43,629,371 shares
of common stock on April 18, 2016, or approximately 59.6% of the Issuer’s voting power prior to the issuance of the Series
“A” Preferred Stock. This provided Mr. Falcones with the ability to approve the Amendment of the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock in both his capacity as sole Director and as majority shareholder.
Subsequently,
on December 22, 2018, the majority shareholder holding approximately
99.73%
, of our issued
and outstanding $0.0001 par value common stock ("Common Stock") consented in writing to amend the Company's Articles
of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment"). This consent was enough to initially approve and ratify the above-
mentioned corporate transactions under Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation.
Moreover, on December 22, 2018, the
Board of Directors, relying on Mr. Falcones’ employment agreement, re-approved and ratified the creation and issuance of
75,000,000 shares of super-voting Series “A” Preferred Stock to Mr. Falcones. These shares vote with the common stock
and are entitled to 100 votes per share. Thus, the Series “A” Preferred Stock has 7,500,000,000 votes and, at all times
since their issuance, controlled the Company. This majority status allowed Mr. Falcones to consent to the aforementioned corporate
transactions.
On January
9, 2019, pursuant to the aforementioned, the majority stockholder holding approximately 99.73%, of our issued and outstanding Common
Stock (and thus a majority of our voting power) consented in writing to a Certificate of Amendment provides that the Directors
of the Company shall have the ability to create “blank check” preferred stock that allows the Board to control the
creation, issuance and change of series and/or class of shares without shareholder consent.
Reasons
for the Creation of “Blank Check” Preferred Stock
We believe
that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we will need to raise investment capital and it may be preferable or
necessary to issue preferred stock to investors. Preferred stock usually grants the holders certain preferential rights
in voting, dividends, liquidation or other rights in preference over a company’s common stock.
The term “blank
check” refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by our Stockholders and the
terms, rights and features of which are determined by our Board of Directors upon issuance. The authorization of such
“blank check” Preferred Stock permits our Board of Directors to authorize and issue Preferred Stock from time to time
in one or more series without seeking further action or vote of our Stockholders.
Principal
Effects of the Creation of “Blank Check” Preferred Stock
Subject to
the provisions of the Amendment and the limitations prescribed by law, our Board of Directors would be expressly authorized, at
its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting
any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends
are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights
and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the Preferred Stock, in each case without any further action
or vote by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors would be required to make any determination to issue
shares of Preferred Stock based on its judgment as to what is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. The
Amendment will give our Board of Directors flexibility, without further stockholder action, to issue Preferred Stock on such terms
and conditions as our Board of Directors deems to be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.
The authorization
of the “blank check” Preferred Stock will provide us with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital
requirements. It will allow Preferred Stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as
determined by our Board of Directors for any proper corporate purpose. It is anticipated that such purposes may include,
without limitation, exchanging Preferred Stock for Common Stock, the issuance for cash as a means of obtaining capital for our
use, or issuance as part or all the consideration required to be paid by us for acquisitions of other businesses or assets.
The issuance
by us of Preferred Stock could dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per share of existing holders of our Common Stock. Such
dilution may be substantial, depending upon the amount of shares issued. The newly authorized shares of Preferred Stock
could also have voting rights superior to our Common Stock, and therefore would have a dilutive effect on the voting power of our
existing Stockholders.
Any issuance
of Preferred Stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of our Company 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 our Company. Shares of voting or convertible Preferred 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 our Company by
means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue such shares
of Preferred Stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control
of our Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive our 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 shares of Preferred Stock to persons friendly to our 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.
There are currently
no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock.
Anti-Takeover
Effects
The Amendment
will provide us with shares of Preferred Stock which would permit us to issue additional shares of capital stock that could dilute
the ownership of the holders of our Common Stock by one or more persons seeking to effect a change in the composition of our
Board of Directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company.
The creation of the Preferred Stock is not being undertaken in response to any effort of which our Board of Directors is aware
to enable anyone to accumulate shares of our Common Stock or gain control of the Company. The purpose of the creation
of the Preferred Stock is to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company,
or as may be required by the capital markets. However, we presently have no plans, proposals, or arrangements to issue
any of the newly authorized shares of Preferred Stock for any purpose whatsoever, including future acquisitions and/or financings.
Other than
the creation of the “blank check” Preferred Stock, our Board of Directors does not currently contemplate the adoption
of any other amendments to our Articles of Incorporation that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take
over or change the control of the Company. While it is possible that management could use the additional authorized shares
of Common Stock or Preferred Stock to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction that is favored by a majority of the independent
stockholders, we have no intent, plans or proposals to use the newly created Preferred Stock as an anti-takeover mechanism or to
adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have anti-takeover consequences.
While the creation
of the “blank check” Preferred Stock may have anti-takeover ramifications, our Board of Directors believes that the
financial flexibility offered by such corporate actions will outweigh the disadvantages. To the extent that these corporate
actions may have anti-takeover effects, third parties seeking to acquire us may be encouraged to negotiate directly with our Board
of Directors, enabling us to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders’ interests.
Effective Date
Under Rule
14c-2, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Amendment shall be effective twenty (20) days
after this Information Statement is mailed to stockholders of the Company. We anticipate the effective date to be on
or about January 30, 2019.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
|
We believe
that all persons named have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated, unless otherwise noted in the
table. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial
owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such
security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed
to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person
has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.
The following table sets forth certain
information as of February 28, 2018, with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock for (i) each director and
officer, (ii) all our directors and officers as a group, and (iii) each person known to us to own beneficially five percent (5%)
or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As of February 28, 2018, we had 10,540,000 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding.

Unless otherwise noted, the security ownership disclosed in this table is of record and beneficial. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
