NOTICE OF ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF CANNAPHARMARX,
INC.:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN
that on December 5, 2018, Cannapharmarx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,”
or “our”), obtained written consent from stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of voting securities
of the Company entitled to vote on the following action:
To amend our Certificate of Incorporation
to increase or authorized capital stock
from 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.0001
per share
, to 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $.0001 per share.
The details of the
foregoing action and other important information are set forth in the accompanying Information Statement. The board of directors
of the Company (“Board of Directors”) has unanimously approved the above amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation
(the “Amendment”).
Under Section 228 of
the Delaware General Corporation Act (“DGCA”), unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, action
by stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, by written consent of the holders of outstanding capital
stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all
shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. There is no limitation in our Certificate of Incorporation that limits
this right. On that basis, the stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote approved
the foregoing actions. No other vote or stockholder action is required. Under Delaware law, no dissenters’ or appraisal rights
are afforded to our stockholders as a result of the prior stockholder approval of the actions described above which are described
in detail in the accompanying Information Statement.
Please read this Information
Statement carefully and in its entirety. Although you will not have an opportunity to vote on the approval of amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company, this Information Statement contains important
information about these actions.

You
Are Requested Not To Send Us A Proxy.
General
Information
This Information Statement
is being furnished to our stockholders in connection with the actions taken by our Board of Directors and the written consent of
the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities with respect to the actions described below. On December 5, 2018,
pursuant to Section 141(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Act, our Board of Directors unanimously approved these actions,
subject to stockholder approval. In accordance with Section 228(a) of the DGCA, on or about December 5, 2018, we received written
consents in lieu of a meeting from three stockholders beneficially holding an aggregate of 76,166,000 of our voting shares (“Majority
Stockholders”), representing approximately 81.9% of the total shares eligible to vote as of December 5, 2018 (the “Record
Date”), to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
"A" to this Information Statement (the "
Amendment
"). The purpose of the Amendment is to increase our
authorized capital stock from 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.0001 per share, to 300,000,000 shares
of Common Stock. We also have 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized, that will remain unchanged. This Information Statement
is being sent to our stockholders to comply with the requirements of Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(“Exchange Act”), and shall constitute notice to our stockholders of action taken by written stockholder consent.
We have elected not
to call a special meeting of our shareholders in order to eliminate the costs of and time involved in holding a special meeting.
Our management has concluded that it is in the best interests of our Company to address this matter in the manner stated herein.
Shareholders of record
at the close of business on December 5, 2018 (the "
Record Date
") are entitled to receive this Information Statement.
As the Amendment has been duly approved by shareholders holding a majority of our voting capital stock, approval or consent of
the remaining shareholders is not required and is not being solicited hereby or by any other means.
The Amendment will
become effective when filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. We anticipate that the filing of the Amendment
will occur after dissemination of this Information Statement to our shareholders, which is expected to occur on or about January
__, 2019.

Amendment
to Certificate of Incorporation
On December 5, 2018,
our Board of Directors, by written unanimous consent, authorized and recommended that our shareholders approve the Amendment. Also
on December 5, 2018, shareholders representing a majority of our voting capital stock outstanding consented in writing to the Amendment.
The purpose of the Amendment is to increase the number of authorized Common Shares from 100,000,000 shares, to 300,000,000 shares,
par value $0.0001 per share. We are not amending the number of authorized Preferred Shares.
The Amendment will
become effective upon filing of Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “
Certificate of Amendment
”),
attached hereto as Exhibit “A,” with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, but our Board of Directors reserves
the right to not make such filing if it deems it appropriate not to do so.
Purpose
and Effect of the Increase in Authorized Capitalization
(
the
“
Increase in Authorized Capitalization”)
As of the date of
this Information Statement we have 1,814,259 shares of our authorized Common Stock available for issuance, not including up
to 1.1 million shares that may be issued if the shareholders of a company we recently acquired elect to take their
consideration in stock rather than cash. The Board of Directors does not believe this is an adequate number of shares to
assure that there will be sufficient shares available for issuance in connection with possible future financings, possible
future acquisition transactions, possible future awards under employee benefit plans, stock dividends, stock splits and other
corporate purposes. Therefore, the Board of Directors approved the Increase in Authorized Capitalization as a means of
providing it with the flexibility to act with respect to the issuance of Common Stock or securities exercisable for, or
convertible into, Common Stock in circumstances which it believes will advance the interests of the Company and its
stockholders without the delay of seeking an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation at that time.
The Increase in Authorized
Capitalization will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, under the laws of the State
of Delaware, authorized, unissued and unreserved shares may be issued for such consideration (not less than par value) and for
such purposes as the Board of Directors may determine without further action by the stockholders. The issuance of such additional
shares may under certain circumstances result in the dilution of the equity or earnings per share of the existing stockholders.
While there are no
assurances, our Board of Directors expects to undertake additional acquisitions in the near future, as well as corresponding private
equity offering of our securities in the near future for the primary purpose of providing capital to allow the Company for such
acquisitions and for working capital for the businesses to be acquired. The Board of Directors has no other current plans to authorize
the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common
Stock or Preferred Stock. The approval of the Increase in Authorized Capitalization will give the Board of Directors more flexibility
to pursue opportunities to engage in possible future acquisitions and financing transactions involving Common Stock or securities
convertible into Common Stock. However, at this time there are no definitive agreements in place relating to any such transactions
and no determination as to the type or amount of securities that might be offered has been made, should possible future transactions
be pursued.
Certain Effects of the Increase in Authorized
Capitalization
The Increase in Authorized
Capitalization was not approved as a means of preventing or dissuading a change in control or a takeover of the Company. However,
use of these shares for such a purpose is possible. For example, shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock or authorized but
unissued Preferred Stock could be issued in an effort to dilute the stock ownership and voting power of persons seeking to obtain
control of the Company or could be issued to purchasers who would support the Board of Directors in opposing a takeover proposal.
In addition, the Increase in Authorized Capitalization may have the effect of discouraging a challenge for control or make it less
likely that such a challenge, if attempted, would be successful. The Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company have
no knowledge of any current effort to obtain control of the Company or to accumulate large amounts of capital stock of the Company.
The holders of Common
Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible
into or exercisable for Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or such other securities might
dilute the ownership and voting rights of stockholders. The Increase in Authorized Capitalization does not change the terms of
the Common Stock or Preferred Stock as set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. The additional
shares of Common Stock authorized by the Increase in Authorized Capitalization Stock will have the same voting rights, the same
rights to dividends and distributions, and will be identical in all other respects to the shares of Common Stock now authorized.
For this reason our
Board of Directors has chosen to adopt and recommend the Increase in Authorized Capitalization.
Manner
of Effecting the Amendments
The Amendment will
be effected by the filing of Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware. The Amendment will become effective on the date of filing of the Certificate of Amendment unless we specify
otherwise (the "
Effective Date
").
Shareholders ARE NOT
REQUIRED to return their certificates to have them re-issued by the Transfer Agent. All certificates heretofore issued will continue
to represent fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock of the Company. The Amendment will
not change any of the terms of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock and holders thereof will have the same voting rights and rights
to dividends and distributions and each shareholder's percentage ownership of Company will not be altered.
A copy of the Certificate
of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit “A.”
Appraisal Rights and
Vote Required
No Rights of Appraisal
Under the laws of the
State of Delaware, shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to approval of the Amendment and we will not
independently provide shareholders with any such right.
Vote Required
The Amendment requires
the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a shareholder meeting on the Record Date of December
5, 2018. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of our Series “A” Convertible
Preferred Stock are entitled to 1,250 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote. There were 17,960,741 shares of our Common
Stock and 60,000 shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Each
share of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,250 shares of Common Stock. On December 5, 2018,
shareholders representing 75,166,000 shares (81.9%) entitled to vote at a meeting, which is a majority of the shares outstanding,
consented in writing to the Amendment.
Security
Ownership Of Certain
Beneficial
Owners And Management
The following table
sets forth certain information regarding ownership of our Company's Common Stock as of December 5, 2018, the Record Date by (i)
