ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

On October 30, 2009, Acies Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” and “us”) held an Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”).  Present at the Meeting was Oleg Firer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director, who owns (and did own as of September 17, 2009, the record date for the Meeting (the “Record Date”)) all one thousand (1,000) outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, giving him the right to vote fifty-one percent (51%) of our voting shares eligible to vote at the annual meeting, totaling 77,003,854 shares. Additionally, Mr. Firer beneficially owned 9,634,286 shares of our outstanding common stock, representing 13.0% of our outstanding common stock as of the Record Date.  Pinnacle Three Corporation, which is beneficially owned by Leon Goldstein, its President (“Pinnacle”), owned 22,515,000 shares of common stock as of the Record Date, representing 30.4% of our outstanding common stock and Theodore Ferrara, our Director, owned 7,190,331 shares of common stock, as a result of his beneficial ownership of Rite Holdings, Inc., representing 9.7% of our outstanding common stock as of the Record Date.  Mr. Firer received proxies prior to the Meeting to vote the shares of common stock held by Pinnacle and Mr. Ferrara.  As a result, Mr. Firer voted an aggregate of 116,343,471 voting shares at the Meeting, representing a quorum of the outstanding shares of the Company as of the Record Date, and representing 77.1% of our voting stock as of the Record Date (150,987,949 shares) to approve the following proposals (the “Proposals”):

1.
The election of Oleg Firer, Theodore Ferrara and Steven Wolberg as Directors of the Company to serve until the next annual meeting of the Company, or until their successor(s) are duly appointed;

2.
The authorization of the Board of Directors to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of our outstanding common stock in a ratio between 1:10 and 1:500, without further approval of our stockholders, upon a determination by our Board of Directors that such a reverse stock split is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders;
   
3.
The ratification of the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan; and

4.
The ratification of the appointment of GBH CPAs, PC, as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2009 and 2010.

On or around March 19, 2010, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve the filing of a Certificate of Amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Articles of Incorporation to affect a 1:100 reverse stock split (the “Stock Split”)(as previously approved by our majority shareholders at the Meeting, as described above); and to re-authorize 200,000,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Re-Authorizations”).  In connection with the Reverse Split, the Board of Directors also resolved that any fractional shares left after the Stock Split would be rounded up to the nearest whole share, provided that no shareholder would hold less than 100 shares following the Stock Split (“Rounding”).

The Amendment authorizing the Stock Split and Re-Authorizations was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on March 22, 2010, and became effective with the Secretary of State of Nevada on March 31, 2010; provided however that the Stock Split did not become effective with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and therefore the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) until April 23, 2010.  As a result of the filing of the Amendment and the Stock Split, the Company has approximately 1,216,168 post-Stock Split shares of common stock issued and outstanding (not taking into account any additional shares which will be issued due to the Rounding), and 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, authorized.

Additionally, as a result of the above, the Company’s symbol on the OTCBB changed to “ACIED”, effective April 23, 2010, which symbol will change back to “ACIE” after twenty business days.
