NOTE 1 - Business

On March 14, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 20, 2007 between Feris International, Inc. (“Feris”) and Pro Sports & Entertainment, Inc. (“PSEI”), Feris issued 49,500,000 shares of its common stock for all issued and outstanding shares of PSEI, resulting in PSEI becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Feris and the surviving entity for accounting purposes (“Reverse Merger”). In July 2008, Feris’ corporate name was changed to Stratus Media Group, Inc. (“Company,” “Stratus,” or “SMDI”). PSEI, a California corporation, was organized on November 23, 1998. PSEI acquired the business of Stratus White, LLC (“Stratus White”) in August 2005.

 

In June 2011, the Company acquired shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of ProElite, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“ProElite” or “PEI”), that organized and promoted mixed martial arts (“MMA”) matches. These holdings of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provide the Company voting rights on an as-converted basis equivalent to a 95% ownership in ProElite.

 

Stratus has suspended development of its past businesses, including ProElite, and, contingent on sufficient capital, is seeking acquisitions. Effective September 30, 2013, Stratus entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Canterbury Acquisition LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Hygeia Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Canterbury Laboratories, LLC (“Canterbury”), Hygeia Therapeutics, Inc. (“Hygeia”) and Yael Schwartz, Ph.D., as Holder Representative, pursuant to which Stratus will acquire all of the capital stock of Canterbury and Hygeia (the “Mergers”) with Canterbury and Hygeia becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of Stratus. The consideration for the Mergers will be the issuance by Stratus of an aggregate of 115,011,563 restricted shares of Stratus common stock to be issued to the stakeholders of Canterbury and Hygeia. Closing of the Mergers occurred on November 18, 2013 and is subject to rescission if Stratus has not raised $7.5 million or more in gross financing proceeds by January 15, 2014.
