Effects and Purpose of the Increase in Authorized Common Stock

 

INFORMATION REGARDING THIS SOLICITATIONThe additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the same voting rights, and rights to dividends and other distributions and will be identical in all other respects to our Common Stock now authorized.

 

OurAs of August 31 2018, the Company had 271,164,004 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Given the Company’s need for additional available authorized shares of Common Stock to meet the Company’s business and financial needs, as well as the Company’s obligations in respect of its outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities, the Board of Directors believes that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is making this solicitationnecessary and in the Company’s best interests.

We have no shares of our Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.1

Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the Board of Directors may in the future issue the additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation to raise additional capital, to satisfy obligations in respect of its outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities, to provide equity incentives to employees, officers or directors or for other purposes.

If the Certificate of Amendment is approved, the Company will bearhave sufficient shares of Common Stock available

If brokers, trustees, or fiduciaries and other institutions or nominees holding shares in their names, or in the name of their nominees, which are beneficially owned by others, forward the proxy materials to, and obtain proxies form, such beneficial owners, we will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses in so doing. In addition, we will indemnify them against any losses arising out of that firm’s proxy soliciting services on our behalf.1933, as amended, unless there is an exemption from registration available.

 

In addition to the solicitationpotential issuances listed above, which the Company anticipates may take place if the Certificate of proxies byAmendment is approved, the useCompany also anticipates issuances in ongoing financings in connection with the Company’s expansion of its business. The Company does not currently have specific plans for a significant financing but will need to raise further funding over the course of this year as it has done in preceding years.

Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have or be used for an anti-takeover effect, the Certificate of Amendment is not being proposed in response to any effort of which the Company is aware to accumulate shares of our Common Stock or obtain control of the mail, proxies may be solicited in person and/or by telephone or facsimile transmission by directors, officers or employeesCompany.

Our Common Stock is currently registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company the Company’s officers are located at 167 N. Sunset Avenue, City of Industry, CA 91744. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or regular employees of the Company for such services.

Stockholders may also provide their voting instructions via email through the Internet. This option requires stockholders to input the Control Number which is located on each proxy card. After inputting this number, stockholders will be prompted to provide their voting instructions. Stockholders will have an opportunity to review their voting instructions and make any necessary changes before submitting their voting instructions and terminating their Internet link. Stockholders who vote via the Internet, in addition to confirming their voting instructions prior to submission, will also receive an e-mail confirming their instructions upon request.

If a stockholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, but does not wish to give a proxy electronically, the stockholder may still submit the proxy card originally sent with this Proxy Statement or attend in person.

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of brokerages and other institutional holders of record have implemented householding. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. If you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their addresses and would like to request information about householding of their communications should contact their brokers or other intermediary holder of record. You can notify us by sending a written request to: Jimmy Chan, President, 167 N. Sunset Avenue, City of Industry, CA 91744.

PROPOSAL 2:NO 2 - ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING

 

The Company’s stockholders may be asked to consider and act upon one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of any or all of the other proposals set forth in this proxy statement.

 

If a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders may be asked to vote on the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies. If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, but there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve one or more of the proposals, the Company’s stockholders may also be asked to vote on the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the other proposals. However, a stockholder vote may be taken on one of the proposals in this proxy statement prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval on such proposal.

 

If the adjournment proposal is submitted for a vote at the Special Meeting, and if the Company’s stockholders vote to approve the adjournment proposal, the meeting will be adjourned to enable the Board to solicit additional proxies in favor of one or more proposals. If the adjournment proposal is approved, and the Special Meeting is adjourned, the Board will use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of any of the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, including the solicitation of proxies from stockholders that have previously voted against the relevant proposal.

 

 -6-

The Board believes that, if the number of shares of the Company’s common stockCommon Stock voting in favor of any of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting is insufficient to approve the proposal, it is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to enable the Board, for a limited period of time, to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes in favor of the proposal. Any signed proxies received by the Company in which no voting instructions are provided on such matter will be voted in favor of an adjournment in these circumstances. The time and place of the adjourned meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken. Any adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow the Company’s stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Special Meeting adjourned or postponed.

 

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “for” the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies.
