INFORMATION STATEMENT

(Definitive)

April 3, 2017

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to the holders (the “Stockholders”) of the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Almost Never Films, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the “Company”), to notify such Stockholders that on or about March 16, 2017, the Company received written consents in lieu of a meeting of Stockholders from holders of 155,294,956 shares of voting securities representing approximately 81.64% of the 190,207,623 shares of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company (the “Majority Stockholders”) to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to approve the following:

(1) to effectuate a 40:1 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”); and

(2) to adjust the authorized Common Stock to 25,000,000 (the “Authorized Adjustment”).

On March 16, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Adjustment, subject to Stockholder approval. The Majority Stockholders approved the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Adjustment by written consent in lieu of a meeting on March 16, 2017. Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Amendments. The Authorized Adjustment will become effective when we file the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada after this Information Statement is effective.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) believes that the stockholders of the Company will benefit from the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Adjustment because it will attract potential investment from outside investors which will create a more liquid public market for its common stock. In order to facilitate such transaction, the Board has determined that the capitalization structure of the Company should be simplified.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the actions approved by the Board and the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company.

ACTION I REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

DECREASE THE NUMBER OF ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK

GENERAL

The Board approved a resolution to effectuate a 40:1 reverse stock split. Under this reverse stock split each 40 shares of our Common Stock will be automatically converted into 1 share of Common Stock. To avoid the issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock, the Company will issue an additional share to all holders of fractional shares. The effective date of the reverse stock split will be on or about May 5, 2017.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY, EXCEPT AS MAY RESULT FROM THE ISSUANCE OR CANCELLATION OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE FRACTIONAL SHARES.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SHARES THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO ISSUE TO NEW OR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES WILL BE ADJUSTED TO 25,000,000.

PURPOSE AND MATERIAL EFFECTS OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

The Board of Directors believe that, among other reasons, the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock have contributed to a lack of investor interest in the Company and has made it difficult to attract new investors and potential business candidates. As a result, the Board of Directors has proposed the Reverse Stock Split as one method to attract business opportunities in the Company.

When a company engages in a reverse stock split, it substitutes one share of stock for a predetermined amount of shares of stock. It does not increase the market capitalization of the company. An example of a reverse split is the following. A company has 10,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Assume the market price is $.01 per share. Assume that the company declares a 1 for 5 reverse stock split. After the reverse split, that company will have 1/5 as many shares outstanding, or 2,000,000 shares outstanding. The stock will have a market price of $0.05. If an individual investor owned 10,000 shares of that company before the split at $.01 per share, he will own 2,000 shares at $.05 after the split. In either case, his stock will be worth $100. He is no better off before or after. Except that such company hopes that the higher stock price will make that company look better and thus the company will be a more attractive merger target for potential business. There is no assurance that that company's stock will rise in price after a reverse split or that a suitable merger candidate will emerge.

We believe that the reverse stock split may improve the price level of our Common Stock and that the higher share price could help generate interest in the Company among investors and other business opportunities. However, the effect of the reverse split upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price per share of our Common Stock after the reverse split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding resulting from the reverse split. The market price of our Common Stock may also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding.

The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power, except to the extent that the reverse split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. All stockholders holding a fractional share shall be issued an additional share. The principal effect of the Reverse Stock Split will be that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 190,207,623 shares of Common Stock as of March 21, 2017 to approximately 4,755,191 shares (depending on the number of fractional shares that are issued or cancelled). The Reverse Stock Split will affect the shares of common stock outstanding. Currently, the Company has Preferred stock, no par value, 5,000,000 shares authorized, with none outstanding and Series A voting preferred stock, 2,000,000 shares authorized with none outstanding.

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced to less than the present amount, and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

The Reverse Stock Split will not change the proportionate equity interests of our stockholders, nor will the respective voting rights and other rights of stockholders be altered. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Stockholders should recognize that they will own fewer numbers of shares than they presently own (a number equal to the number of shares owned immediately prior to the filing of the certificate of amendment divided by 40. While we expect that the Reverse Stock Split will result in an increase in the potential market price of our Common Stock, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the potential market price of our Common Stock by a multiple equal to the exchange number or result in the permanent increase in any potential market price (which is dependent upon many factors, including our performance and prospects). Also, should the market price of our Common Stock decline, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would pertain in the absence of a reverse split. Furthermore, the possibility exists that potential liquidity in the market price of our Common Stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse split. In addition, the reverse split will increase the number of stockholders of the Company who own odd lots (less than 100 shares). Stockholders who hold odd lots typically will experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares, as well as possible greater difficulty in effecting such sales. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the reverse split will achieve the desired results that have been outlined above.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

THE OVERALL EFFECT OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT MAY BE TO RENDER MORE DIFFICULT THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF MERGERS OR THE ASSUMPTION OF CONTROL BY A PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER, AND THUS MAKE DIFFICULT THE REMOVAL OF MANAGEMENT.

The effective increase in our authorized shares could potentially be used by management to thwart a take-over attempt. The over-all effects of this proposal might be to render it more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, or the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company’s securities and the removal of incumbent management. The proposal could make the accomplishment of a merger or similar transaction more difficult, even if, it is beneficial to shareholders. Management might use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction, favored by a majority of the independent stockholders, that would provide an above market premium, by issuing additional shares to frustrate the take-over effort.

This proposal is not the result of management’s knowledge of an effort to accumulate the issuer’s securities or to obtain control of the issuer by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise. It was done as a way to attract potential investors and conduct a financing transaction.

Neither the Company’s charter nor its by-laws presently contain any provisions having anti-takeover effects and this proposal is not a plan by management to adopt a series of amendments to the Company’s charter or by-laws to institute an anti-takeover provision. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

As discussed above, the Reverse Stock Split was the subject of a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors approving the Reverse Stock Split. There are no rules or practices on any stock exchange that permit such exchange to reserve the right to refuse to list or to de-list any stock which completes a reverse stock split.

PLANS, PROPOSALS OR ARRANGEMENTS TO ISSUE NEWLY AVAILABLE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

The main purpose of completing this Reverse Stock Split is to increase the amount of shares available in order to have the ability to issue shares and attract investors. The Company has not entered into any agreements whereby it has agreed to issue the newly available shares.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

We will not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse split shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, an additional share shall be issued to all holders of a fractional share. To the extent any holders of pre-reverse split shares are entitled to fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will issue an additional share to all holders of fractional shares.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES WITHOUT THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

SUMMARY OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Below is a brief summary of the reverse stock split:

The issued and outstanding Common Stock shall be reduced on the basis of one post-split share of the Common Stock for every 40 pre-split shares of the Common Stock outstanding. The consolidation shall not affect any rights, privileges or obligations with respect to the shares of the Common Stock existing prior to the consolidation.

Stockholders of record of the Common Stock on the date of effectiveness shall have their total shares reduced on the basis of one post-split share of Common Stock for every 40 pre-split shares outstanding.

As a result of the reduction of the Common Stock, the pre-split total of issued and outstanding shares of 190,207,623 shall be consolidated to a total of approximately 4,755,191 issued and outstanding shares (depending on the number of fractional shares that are be issued or cancelled).

The Company’s authorized number of common stock shall be adjusted to 25,000,000 shares of the Common Stock.

This action has been approved by the Board and the written consents of the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting capital stock of the Company.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. The Company will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 21, 2017, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of Stockholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement.

You are being provided with this Information Statement pursuant to Section 14C of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C thereunder, and, in accordance therewith, the Reverse Stock Split will not be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada or become effective until at least 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

ACTION II AUTHORIZED ADJUSTMENT

ADJUST THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK

GENERAL

The Board approved a resolution to adjust the authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 25,000,000.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AUTHORIZED ADJUSTMENT WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SHARES THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO ISSUE TO NEW OR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.

PURPOSE AND MATERIAL EFFECTS OF THE AUTHORIZED ADJUSTMENT

The Board of Directors has taken this action to attract investors to our growing business to further advance our business plan and enhance shareholder value.

We believe that the Authorized Adjustment may improve the ability of the Company to use equity to raise the capital necessary to take our business to the next level and that could help generate interest in the Company among investors and other business opportunities. However, the effect of the Authorized Adjustment upon the market price for our Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of similar authorized stock adjustments for companies in like circumstances is varied. There can be no assurance that the market price per share of our Common Stock after the Authorized Adjustment will rise or fall. The market price of our Common Stock may also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of shares authorized.

The Authorized Adjustment will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Authorized Adjustment, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will remain the same. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will remain the same.

The Authorized Adjustment will not change the proportionate equity interests of our stockholders, nor will the respective voting rights and other rights of stockholders be altered. The Common Stock when issued pursuant to the Authorized Adjustment will remain fully paid and non-assessable. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Authorized Adjustment

THE OVERALL EFFECT OF THE AUTHORIZED ADJUSTMENT MAY BE TO RENDER MORE DIFFICULT THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF MERGERS OR THE ASSUMPTION OF CONTROL BY A PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER.

The Authorized Adjustment in our authorized shares could potentially be used by management to thwart a take-over attempt. The over-all effects of this proposal might be to render it more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, or the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company’s securities and the removal of incumbent management. The proposal could make the accomplishment of a merger or similar transaction more difficult, even if, it is beneficial to shareholders. Management might use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction, favored by a majority of the independent stockholders that would provide an above market premium, by issuing additional shares to frustrate the take-over effort.

This proposal is not the result of management’s knowledge of an effort to accumulate the issuer’s securities or to obtain control of the issuer by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise. It was done as a way to attract potential investors in order to enhance shareholder value.

Neither the Company’s charter nor its by-laws presently contain any provisions having anti-takeover effects and this proposal is not a plan by management to adopt a series of amendments to the Company’s charter or by-laws to institute an anti-takeover provision. The Company does not have any plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

As discussed above, the Authorized Adjustment was the subject of a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors approving the Authorized Adjustment. There are no rules or practices on any stock exchange that permit such exchange to reserve the right to refuse to list or to de-list any stock which completes an Authorized Adjustment.

PLANS, PROPOSALS OR ARRANGEMENTS TO ISSUE NEWLY AVAILABLE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

The main purpose of completing this Authorized Adjustment is to attract potential investors in order to further advance our business and enhance shareholder value.

SUMMARY OF AUTHORIZED ADJUSTMENT

Below is a brief summary of the Authorized Adjustment:

The authorized Common Stock shall be adjusted to 25,000,000.

This action has been approved by the Board and the written consents of the holders of the majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. The Company will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

You are being provided with this Information Statement pursuant to Section 14C of the Exchange Act and Regulation 14C and Schedule 14C thereunder, and, in accordance therewith, the Authorized Adjustment will not be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada or become effective until at least 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about April 3, 2017 to all Stockholders of record as of March 21, 2017.
