Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Creation of Series A Preferred Stock

Effective July 27, 2010, Ecoland International, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, a Certificate of Designation creating one hundred (100) shares, designated as “Series A Preferred Stock.”  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by our Board of Directors.  

The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions associated with our Series A Preferred Stock. This description does not purport to be a complete description of all of the rights of our stockholders and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of our Certificate of Designation relating to our shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which is included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible on a one-for-one basis into common stock and has all of the voting rights that the holders of our common stock has.  In addition, the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented at a duly called special or annual meeting of such shareholders or by an action by written consent for that purpose shall be entitled to elect three (3) directors (the “Series A Directors”).  The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may waive their rights to elect such three (3) directors at any time and assign such right to the board of directors to elect such directors; and (b) the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock represented at a duly called special or annual meeting of such shareholders or by an action by written consent for that purpose shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors.

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class:
 
(1)   amend our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;

(2)   change or modify the rights, preferences or other terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, or increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

(3)   reclassify or recapitalize any outstanding equity securities, or authorize or issue, or undertake an obligation to authorize or issue, any equity securities (or any debt securities convertible into or exercisable for any equity securities) having rights, preferences or privileges senior to or on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock;

(4)   authorize or effect any transaction constituting a Liquidation Event (as defined in this subparagraph) under these Articles, or any other merger or consolidation of the Company. For purposes of these Articles, a “Deemed Liquidation” shall mean: (A) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (including an irrevocable or exclusive license with respect to all or substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property); (B) the consummation of a merger, share exchange or consolidation with or into any other corporation, limited liability company or other entity (except one in which the holders of capital stock of the Company as constituted immediately prior to such merger, share exchange or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company or the surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent entity)), (C) authorize or effect any transaction liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, provided , however , that none of the following shall be considered a Deemed Liquidation: (i) a merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company, or (ii) a transaction or other event deemed to be exempt from the definition of a Deemed Liquidation by the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock;
  
(5)   increase or decrease the size of the Board of Directors as provided in the Bylaws of the Company or remove any of the Series A Directors (unless approved by the Board of Directors including the Series A Directors);

 
 

 

(6)   declare or pay any dividends or make any other distribution with respect to any class or series of capital stock (unless approved by the Board of Directors including the Series A Directors);

(7)   redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any outstanding shares of capital stock (other than the repurchase of shares of common stock from employees, consultants or other service providers pursuant to agreements approved by the Board of Directors under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares at no greater than original cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment) (unless approved by the Board of Directors including the Series A Directors);

(8)   amend any stock option plan of the Company, if any (other than amendments that do not require approval of the stockholders under the terms of the plan or applicable law) or approve any new equity incentive plan;

(9)   replace the President and/or Chief Executive Officer of the Company (unless approved by the Board of Directors including the Series A Directors); or

(10)   transfer assets to any subsidiary or other affiliated entity.

Creation of Series B Preferred Stock

Effective July 27, 2010, we filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, a Certificate of Designation creating one million (1,000,000) shares, designated as “Series B Preferred Stock.”  The shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time by our Board of Directors.  

The following is a summary of the material rights and restrictions associated with our Series B Preferred Stock. This description does not purport to be a complete description of all of the rights of our stockholders and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of our Certificate of Designation relating to our shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which is included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Series B Preferred Stock shall vote or act by written consent together with the common stock and not as a separate class.  Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have that number of votes equal to five thousand (5,000) shares of common stock at any special or annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and in any act by written consent in lieu of any special or annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.  In the case the Company shall at any time subdivide (by any share split, share dividend or otherwise) its outstanding shares of common stock into a greater number of shares, the number of shares of common stock of which are equal in voting power to each share of Series B Preferred Stock, as in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, shall be proportionately increased and, conversely, in case the outstanding common stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares of common stock of which are equal in voting power to each share of Series B Preferred Stock, as in effect immediately prior to such combination, shall be proportionately reduced.

So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, change or modify the rights, preferences or other terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, or increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock

Anti-Takeover Effects
 
The creation of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (collectively the “Preferred Stock”) provides us with shares of Preferred Stock which permits us to issue additional shares of capital stock that could dilute both voting power and 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 created shares of Preferred Stock for any purpose whatsoever, including future acquisitions and/or financings.

 
 

 

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 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 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.
