AMENDMENT OF OUR ARTICLES TO INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

FROM 2,510,000,000 TO 6,010,000,000 SHARES,

OF WHICH 6,000,000,000 WILL BE COMMON STOCK AND 10,000,000 WILL BE PREFERRED STOCK

 

On February 7, 2018, our board of directors and a stockholder holding a majority of our voting power approved the Amendment, which will have the effect of increasing our authorized capital stock from 2,510,000,000 to 6,010,000,000 shares, of which 6,000,000,000 will be common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 will be preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, with such designations, rights and preferences as our board of directors may determine from time to time.

 

We currently have authorized capital stock of 2,510,000,000 shares, of which 2,500,000,000 shares are common stock and 10,000,000 are preferred stock. We have 506,466,860 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, respectively, issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Upon effectiveness of the Amendment, our authorized capital stock will consist of 6,010,000,000 shares, of which 6,000,000,000 will be common stock and 10,000,000 will be preferred stock, with such designations, rights and preferences as our board of directors may determine from time to time.

 

Purposes of the Increase in Authorized Shares

 

Having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of our capital stock would allow us to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in our capitalization. There will be no change in the number of authorized preferred shares as a result of the increase in authorized shares. The shares of preferred stock would be available for issuance from time to time as determined by our board of directors for any proper corporate purpose. Such purposes might include, without limitation, issuance in public or private sales for cash as a means of obtaining additional capital for use in our business and operations, and issuance as part or all of the consideration required to be paid by us for acquisitions of other businesses or assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have no obligation to issue such shares and there are no plans, proposals or arrangements currently contemplated by us that would involve the issuance of the preferred shares, or our common stock, to acquire another company or its assets, or for any other corporate purpose stated. In connection with the anticipated continued growth of our business, our board of directors believes it is in our best interests to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock and to create a class of preferred stock. The additional capital stock can provide flexibility in structuring the terms of any future agreements, as well as any future financing and recapitalization efforts. We have no present plans to be acquired or to merge with another company, and neither we, nor our stockholders, have plans to enter into a change of control or similar transaction.

 

Potential Anti-Takeover Effects of the Increase in Capital Stock

 

Any additional issuance of common or preferred stock could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control. Shares of common or preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of our board of directors to issue such additional shares of common stock and/or to designate one or more series or classes of preferred stock for issuance could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of our company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of common or preferred stock to persons whose interests are aligned with that of our board of directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent officers and directors from office, even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.

 

Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of our company with another company), the Amendment was not proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of common stock or obtain control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions having an anti-takeover effect to the board and our stockholders.

 

To the extent that the increase in the number of authorized shares may have anti-takeover effects, the Amendment, when effected, may encourage persons seeking to acquire us to negotiate directly with our board of directors, enabling our board to consider a proposed transaction in a manner that best serves our stockholders’ interests.

 

4  
 

Our board believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of our company to have available authorized but undesignated shares of preferred stock in an amount adequate to provide for our future needs. The designation of one or more classes or series of preferred stock will be available for issuance from time to time as may be deemed advisable or required for various purposes, including the issuance of shares in connection with financing or acquisition transactions. We have no present plans or commitments for the issuance or use of the proposed shares of preferred stock in connection with any financing.

 

Procedure for Effecting the Amendment of our Articles

 

The Amendment will become effective at such time as a certificate of amendment to our Articles is filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Amendment will not be effected until at least 20 calendar days after the mailing of this Information Statement to Cardinal Energy stockholders. We expect to file a certificate of amendment to our Articles with the Secretary of State of Nevada effective on or about ______________, 2018.
