INTRODUCTION
Delaware law provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. Delaware law, however, requires that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to a company.
In accordance with the foregoing, we will mail the Notice of Stockholder Action by Written Consent on or about May 27, 2020.
This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Name Change approved by the Board of Network CN, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and the Majority Stockholders.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
AUTHORIZED SHARES INCREASE
GENERAL
The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a resolution to amend the articles of incorporation so as to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors from 26,666,667 to100,000,000,000. The Majority Shareholders have given their written consent to the resolution.
Under Delaware corporation law, the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power is effective as shareholders’ approval. We will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware on or after May 27, 2020, and it will become effective on the date of such filing. The Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the authorized shares of capital stock of the Company will consist of100,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.
REASONS
The Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholders have approved the amendment to the articles of incorporation in order to provide the Company with flexibility in pursuing its long-term business objectives. The primary reasons for the amendment are:
- | Management may in the future pursue opportunities to obtain capital in order to fully implement the Company’s business plan. A reserve of common shares available for issuance from time-to-time will enable the Company to entertain a broad variety of financing proposals. |
- | Management may utilize the additional shares in connection with corporate acquisitions, joint venture arrangements, or for other corporate purposes, including the solicitation and compensation of key personnel. |
Management has not entered into any commitment to issue any shares, and is not engaged in any negotiations with respect to any transaction of the sort listed above. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, nor is there any derivative security outstanding that may be converted by the holder into shares of the Company's common stock either with or without the payment of additional consideration.
As a result of the increase in authorized common stock, there will be approximately 99,991,225,737 common shares available for issuance. The Board of Directors will be authorized to issue the additional common shares without having to obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders. Delaware law requires that the Board use its reasonable business judgment to assure that the Company obtains “fair value” when it issues shares. Nevertheless, the issuance of the additional shares would dilute the proportionate interest of current shareholders in the Company. The issuance of the additional shares could also result in the dilution of the value of shares now outstanding, if the terms on which the shares were issued were less favorable than the contemporaneous market value of the Company’s common stock.
1 |
The increase in the number of common shares available for issuance is not being done for the purpose of impeding any takeover attempt. Nevertheless, the power of the Board of Directors to provide for the issuance of shares of common stock without shareholder approval has potential utility as a device to discourage or impede a takeover of the Company. In the event that a non-negotiated takeover were attempted, the private placement of stock into “friendly” hands, for example, could make the Company unattractive to the party seeking control of the Company. This would have a detrimental effect on the interests of any stockholder who wanted to tender his or her shares to the party seeking control or who would favor a change in control.
NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under Delaware law, our Stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Authorized Shares Increase.
WHEN THE INCREASE WILL GO INTO EFFECT
The Authorized Shares Increase will become effective on the date that we file the Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. We intend to file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we must first notify FINRA of the intended Authorized Shares Increase by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated record date of such action. Our failure to provide such notice may constitute fraud under Section 10 of the Exchange Act.
We currently expect to file the Amendment on or about May 13,2020.
