AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 500,000,000 TO 1,000,000,000 AND TO AUTHORIZE 5,000,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
Our board of directors have approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation (the “Amendment”) to (i) increase our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000, and (ii) authorize 5,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. The Amendment will become effective, contingent upon obtaining approval of our stockholders, upon the filing of the amendment to our articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
 
The form of Amendment to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, should the Proposal be approved by our stockholders, is set forth as Appendix A to this information statement.
 
Outstanding Shares and Purpose of the Amendment
 
Our articles of incorporation currently authorize us to issue a maximum of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  We anticipate that as of October 11, 2013, the record date, we will have 203,087,091 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
 
The board of directors (the “Board”) believes that the increase in our authorized common stock will provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the Company’s capital structure for purposes including additional equity financings and stock based acquisitions.
  
Effects of the Increase in Authorized common stock
 
The additional shares of common stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares of common stock, including the right to cast one vote per share of common stock. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our common stock, the future issuance of additional shares of common stock (other than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share of existing stockholders.
 
At present, the board of directors has no plans to issue the additional shares of common stock authorized by the Amendment. However, it is possible that some of these additional shares could be used in the future for various other purposes without further stockholder approval, except as such approval may be required in particular cases by our charter documents, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or other quotation system on which our securities may then be listed. These purposes may include: raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, establishing strategic relationships with other companies, and expanding the Company’s business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products.
 
We could also use the additional shares of common stock that will become available pursuant to the Amendment to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. Although the Board’s approval of the Amendment was not prompted by the threat of any hostile takeover attempt (nor is the Board currently aware of any such attempts directed at the Company), nevertheless, stockholders should be aware that the Amendment could facilitate future efforts by us to deter or prevent changes in control of the Company, including transactions in which stockholders of the Company might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices.

Authorization of Blank Check Preferred Stock

Upon filing with the Nevada Secretary of State, contingent upon receiving the approval of our stockholders, the Amendment will authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value ("Preferred Stock"). The Board of Directors will be authorized to fix the designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series of the Preferred Stock.

 
3

 
 
The term "blank check" preferred stock refers to stock which gives the board of directors of a corporation the flexibility to create one or more series of preferred stock, from time to time, and to determine the relative rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series, including, without limitation: (i) the number of shares in each series, (ii) whether a series will bear dividends and whether dividends will be cumulative, (iii) the dividend rate and the dates of dividend payments, (iv) liquidation preferences and prices, (v) terms of redemption, including timing, rates and prices, (vi) conversion rights, (vii) any sinking fund requirements, (viii) any restrictions on the issuance of additional shares of any class or series, (ix) any voting rights and (x) any other relative, participating, optional or other special rights, preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations or restrictions.

Effect of Amendment on Current Shareholders

The shares of Preferred Stock authorized pursuant to the Amendment could be issued, at the discretion of the Board, for any proper corporate purpose, without further action by the shareholders other than as may be required by applicable law. Existing shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to future issuance of Preferred Stock by the Company and their interest in the Company could be diluted by such issuance with respect to any of the following: earnings per share, voting, liquidation rights and book and market value.

The Board of Directors will have the power to issue the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series with such preferences and voting rights as the Board of Directors may fix in the resolution providing for the issuance of such shares. The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock could affect the relative rights of the Company's shares of common stock. Depending upon the exact terms, limitations and relative rights and preferences, if any of the shares of Preferred Stock as determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock may be entitled to a higher dividend rate than that paid on the common stock, a prior claim on funds available for the payment of dividends, a fixed preferential payment in the event of liquidation and dissolution of the Company, redemption rights, rights to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into shares of common stock, and voting rights which would tend to dilute the voting control of the Company by the holders of shares of common stock. Depending on the particular terms of any series of the Preferred Stock, holders thereof may have significant voting rights and the right to representation on the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, the approval of the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, voting as a class or as a series, may be required for the taking of certain corporate actions, such as mergers.

Purpose of Authorization of Blank Check Preferred Stock

The Board of Directors believes that the authorization of shares of Preferred Stock is desirable because it will provide the Company with increased flexibility of action to meet future working capital and capital expenditure requirements through equity financings without the delay and expense ordinarily attendant on obtaining further shareholder approvals. The Board of Directors believes that the authorization of blank check preferred stock will improve the Company's ability to attract needed investment capital, as various series of the Preferred Stock may be customized to meet the needs of any particular transaction or market conditions.

Possible Anti-Takeover Effects of Authorization of Blank Check Preferred Stock

The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may have the effect of discouraging or thwarting persons seeking to take control of the Company through a tender offer, proxy fight or otherwise or seeking to bring about removal of incumbent management or a corporate transaction such as a merger. For example, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in a public or private sale, merger or in a similar transaction may, depending on the terms of the series of Preferred Stock dilute the interest of a party seeking to take over the Company. Further, the authorized Preferred Stock could be used by the Board of Directors for adoption of a shareholder rights plan or "poison pill."
 
The Amendment was not proposed in response to, or for the purpose of deterring, any effort to obtain control of the Company or as an anti-takeover measure. It should be noted that any action taken by the Company to discourage an attempt to acquire control of the Company might result in shareholders not being able to participate in any possible premiums which might be obtained in the absence of anti-takeover provisions. Any transaction which may be so discouraged or avoided could be a transaction that the Company's shareholders might consider to be in their best interests. However, the Board of Directors has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the Company's shareholders at all times.
 
 
4

 
 
The Company does not currently have any plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the shares of Preferred Stock.
 
INTEREST OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN THE PROPOSAL
 
No director, executive officer, associate of any director, executive officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the actions proposed hereunder that is not shared by all other stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

The authorized capital stock of our company consists of 500,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting solely of shares of common stock. As of the September 30, 2013, there were 203,087,091 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Common stock

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a shareholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our shareholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes, such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the articles of incorporation. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of the common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS
 
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, holders of shares of common stock are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to any aspect of the Amendment, and we will not independently provide holders with any such right.

BOARD RECOMMENDATION
 
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE (I) AN INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 500,000,000 TO 1,000,000,000, AND (II) AUTHORIZATION FOR 5,000,000 SHARES OF BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK
