This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card were first mailed to our stockholders on or about August 3, 2015.


All shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with directions on the proxies. If no direction is indicated, the shares will be voted at the Special Meeting “FOR” the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effect the re-domicile to Nevada. A stockholder executing and returning a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by written notice to the Secretary of the Company or by voting in person at the Special Meeting.


The Board of Directors does not know of any matters to be brought before the Special Meeting other than the items set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders.

In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by telephone and telecopier, or transmission by our directors, officers and employees. Arrangements may also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation material to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons, and we may reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the solicitation.


PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPANY’S CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDER HAS INFORMED THE COMPANY THAT IT WILL BE VOTING “FOR” PROPOSAL 1 ABOVE.

ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING


Who called the Special Meeting?


The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), on June 22, 2015, called for the Special Meeting for the purposes set forth herein.


What is the purpose of the Special Meeting?


At our Special Meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders on the cover page of this proxy statement, including the proposed change in domicile from Colorado to Nevada. In addition, management will respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.


Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

 

Only stockholders of record of shares of common stock at the close of business on June 30, 2015 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. On the Record Date, 199,725,629 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. These shares of common stock were the only outstanding voting securities of the Company. If you were a stockholder of record of shares of common stock on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares that you held on that date at the Special Meeting.

 

What are the voting rights of the holders of our common stock?


Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal submitted to stockholders. Stockholders of record may vote on a matter by marking the appropriate box on the proxy.


Who can attend the Special Meeting?


Any stockholder of record may attend the Special Meeting.


What constitutes a quorum?


According to our Articles of Incorporation, at least one-third of the outstanding shares of our common stock, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting. As of the Record Date, 199,725,629 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Thus, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the stockholders of common stock representing at least 66,575,210 votes will be required to establish a quorum. Action on all matters scheduled to come before the Special Meeting, including the change of domicile, will be authorized by the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote on such matters. Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but as un-voted for purposes of determining the approval of any matter submitted to the stockholders for a vote. If a broker indicates on the proxy that it does not have discretionary authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular matter, those shares will not be considered as present and entitled to vote with respect to that matter.


How do I vote?


If you complete and properly sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to the Company, it will be voted as you direct. If you are a stockholder of record and attend the Special Meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. “Street name” stockholders who wish to vote at the Special Meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds their shares.





5




Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?


Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy card, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with the Secretary of the Company either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the Special Meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the Special Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.


Will my vote have any effect on the outcome?


No, it will not. Our controlling stockholder holds enough votes to approve the proposal(s) and has informed us that it will be voting its shares in favor of the proposal(s) discussed herein.


Do I have any dissenters’ rights?


The Colorado Revised Statutes do not provide for any dissenters’ rights for these proposed actions, including: (i) the change in domicile.


What are the recommendations of the Board of Directors?


Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. The recommendation of the Board is set forth with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote in favor of the change in domicile from Colorado to Nevada, as described in detail in this Proxy Statement.


With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the Special Meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors, or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.


CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING “FORWARD-LOOKING” STATEMENTS


 This Proxy Statement contains certain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Proxy Statement, including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.  We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors in this Proxy Statement, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.


You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this Proxy Statement.  You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in this Proxy Statement could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Proxy Statement to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE COMPANY’S CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDER HAS INFORMED THE COMPANY THAT IT WILL BE VOTING “FOR” PROPOSAL 1 BELOW. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY THE CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDER ARE SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR THE PROPOSAL AND NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL CONSEQUENTLY BE NEEDED TO APPROVE EITHER OF THE PROPOSALS.


PROPOSAL 1 – APPROVAL OF CHANGE OF DOMICILE FROM COLORADO TO NEVADA.


 (ITEM 1 ON PROXY CARD)


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF JAYHAWK RECOMMENDS THAT HOLDERS OF COMMON STOCK VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE OF DOMICILE FROM COLORADO TO NEVADA.  


GENERAL


On June 22, 2015  the  Board  of  Directors  passed  a  unanimous resolution  authorizing  a change of corporate  domicile from Colorado to Nevada.


PURPOSE OF CHANGE IN DOMICILE FROM COLORADO TO NEVADA


Management believes the change is consistent with Company's operational plans. For a number of years, the Company's principal offices, center of operations and employees have all been located outside the State of Colorado. The Company does not maintain an office in Colorado, does not have any employees in Colorado, and does not conduct operations from or with Colorado. If the shareholders approve of the change of domicile, the Company will file the  Articles  of  Domestication  set forth at  Exhibit  1,  along  with a Certificate  of Disclosure  and a  Certificate  of Good Standing from the Colorado Secretary of State with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Articles of Domestication set forth,   among other things, the Company's Articles of Incorporation.  The Company's current Colorado Articles of Incorporation are included at Exhibit 2.  Shareholders are urged to thoroughly examine the differences between Exhibits 1 and 2.


PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGING DOMICILE FROM COLORADO TO NEVADA; VOTE REQUIRED

 

The Colorado Revised Statutes requires that, in order for us to change domicile from Colorado to Nevada, such change in domicile must be approved by our Board and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

 

On June 30, 2015, the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to receive this Proxy Statement, there were 199,725, 629 shares of common stock outstanding. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. We need the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock to approve the change in domicile. Our Board, by its unanimous written consent, adopted resolutions approving the change in domicile from Colorado to Nevada.


CONSEQUENCES OF APPROVAL OF CHANGE OF DOMICILE


If the change of domicile is approved by the shareholders, we will cause Articles of Domestication to be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, which will thereby, upon acceptance, cause the Company to be a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. After the Articles of Domestication become effective in Nevada, the Company must also file the Articles of Domestication with the Colorado Secretary of State, along with a Certificate of Dissolution to discontinue the Company’s Colorado existence.  The Company’s Board also believes that re-domiciling the Company in Nevada will generally be better accepted in the capital markets when compared to being incorporated in Colorado.


The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock at the Special Meeting, whether in person or by proxy, is required to approve the change of domicile.



7




The Board recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the change in domicile from Colorado to Nevada.  Proxies solicited by the Board will be voted for the change in domicile, unless stockholders specify in their proxies a contrary choice.


EFFECTIVE DATE OF DOMESTICATION

 

The change in domicile will become effective upon the Nevada Secretary of State’s acceptance of the Company’s Articles of Domestication, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. We intend to file the Articles of Domestication after the shareholder meeting if the shareholders approve the Amendment.


SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following tables set forth the ownership of our common stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, our directors, and our executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending arrangements that may cause a change in control.


The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days of June 30, 2015 through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days of June 30, 2015, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days of June 30, 2015. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.


This table is based upon information derived from our stock records. We believe that each of the shareholders named in this table has sole or shared voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned; except as set forth above, applicable percentages are based upon 199,725,629 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2015. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to conversion of warrants and options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2015. We did not deem those shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The Percent of Class beneficially owned was calculated as follows:  The Company has issued 199,725,629 out of a total authorized capital amount of 200,000,000 leaving 274,371 unissued shares.  Exercising of the options held by Lindsay Gorrill without an increase in authorization capital of the Company would result in the beneficial ownership of 5,350,483 (shares beneficially owned) divided by 200,000,000 (total authorized capital) equals (=) 2.68% of Class.
