BOSTON CARRIERS, INC.
On May 23, 2017,
Boston Carriers, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”)
to amend and restate the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Original Articles”)
in order to, among other items, (i) provide more clarity and simplify the provisions relating to the Company’s capital structure
and to authorize the creation of shares of “blank check” preferred stock and (ii) effectuate a reverse stock split
of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. A copy of the Articles is attached
hereto as Exhibit 3.01.
As previously disclosed
on a Form 6-K filed on April 14, 2017, on April 7, 2017, the shareholders of the Company authorized the Board of Directors (the
“Board”) to file the Articles to (i) provide for authorized capital of Fifty Billion (50,000,000,000) shares of capital
stock, divided into classes consisting of (a) Forty Five Billion (45,000,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share and (b) Five Billion (5,000,000,000) shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and
to (ii) grant the Board discretionary authority to effect one or more reverse splits of the Company’s issued and outstanding
common stock at a ratio within the range from 1-for-2 up to 1-for-30,000, at any time prior to April 7, 2018, at the discretion
of the Board.
On April 11, 2017,
the Board authorized a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-5,000. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 5,000 shares
of the Company’s pre-reverse split common stock will be combined and reclassified into one share of the Company’s
common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise
would be entitled to a fractional share shall receive the next higher number of whole shares. The Company anticipates that its
common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on May 24, 2017. The common stock will trade under
the symbol "BSTND" for 20 trading days and then will change back to “BSTN”.
The par value and
other terms of Company’s common stock were not affected by the reverse stock split. The Company’s post-reverse split
common shares have a new CUSIP number, Y0941T119. The Company’s transfer agent, Pacific Stock Transfer Company is acting
as exchange agent for the reverse stock split.
The following exhibit
is filed herewith:
