SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01 Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement
Adoption of 2014 Incentive Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan
On March 25, 2014, our Chief Executive Officer and holder of 71.4% of the common voting rights of the Company, Clark Ortiz, by written consents, in lieu of a special meeting of shareholders voted to adopt our 2014 Incentive Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”)(the “Voting Stockholder”). In connection with adopting the Plan, the Voting Stockholder also approved the issuance of up to 2,000,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Plan. As of March 25, 2014, the Voting Stockholder is the owner of 50,000,000 shares of our common stock and 25,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of a common stock per share and carries with it voting rights pari passu to our common stock at a factor of 100 common votes for each share of Preferred Stock (e.g., 2,500,000,000 votes). A copy of the Plan is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report.
Currently, the Company does not have a formal equity compensation plan in place. The Plan, in relevant part, provides that our Board of Directors may by majority vote direct that employees, directors and consultants of the Company be granted shares of our common stock and options to purchase shares of our common stock as compensation for past and future services rendered to the Company. Specifically, the Plan provides that the Company may grant such eligible individuals incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, shares of common stock and stock appreciation rights. The Board of Directors and Voting Shareholder anticipate that in adopting the Plan, the Company will become better suited to attract and retain qualified directors, employees and consultants to the Company.
In connection with adopting the Plan, the Voting Shareholder also approved a resolution that up to 2,000,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the terms and conditions of the Plan. That is, at its discretion, the Board of Directors may elect to have issued to directors, employees and consultants it deems deserving, up to 2,000,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock, options to purchase our common stock, or some combination thereof. If our Board of Directors decides to issue shares of common stock or options to purchase our common stock, the issuance of such securities would not affect the rights of the holders of our currently outstanding common stock, except for affects incidental to increasing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, such as dilution of the earnings per share and voting rights of current holders of common stock
SECTION 3 – SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
Actions Taken
To accommodate the future issuance of our Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Voting Stockholder approved a resolution amending our Articles of Incorporation to issue up to 5,000,000,000 shares of our Common Stock from its previous total of 3,000,000,000.
Effects of An Increase in Authorized Shares
Uncommitted authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock may be issued from time to time to such persons and for such consideration as the Board may determine. Holders of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock may or may not be given the opportunity to vote thereon, depending upon the nature of any such transactions, applicable law, the rules and policies of the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) or other market which we qualify Common Stock for trading, as the case may be, and the judgment of the Board regarding the submission of such issuance to a vote of our stockholders. Our stockholders have no preemptive rights to subscribe to newly issued shares.
Moreover, it is possible that additional shares of Common Stock would be issued under circumstances which would make the acquisition of a controlling interest in us more difficult, time-consuming, costly or otherwise discourage an attempt to acquire control of us. Under such circumstances the availability of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock may make it more difficult for stockholders to obtain a premium for their shares. Such authorized and unissued shares could be used to create voting or other impediments or to frustrate a person seeking to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means. Such shares could be privately placed with purchasers who might cooperate with the board in opposing such an attempt by a third party to gain control of us or could also be used to dilute ownership of a person or entity seeking to obtain control of us. Although we do not currently contemplate taking such action, shares of Common Stock could be issued for the purposes and effects described above and the Board reserves its rights to issue such stock for such purposes.
The authorization of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Amendment will have no dilutive effect upon the proportionate voting power of our present stockholders. However, to the extent that shares are subsequently issued to persons other than our present stockholders, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share and voting power of present stockholders. If such dilutive effect on earnings per share occurs, we expect that any such dilutive effect would be relatively short in duration. As described above, we believe that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will provide the flexibility needed to meet corporate objectives and is in the best interest of our stockholders.
