ACTION #1: TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S NAME TO “MEXUS GOLD US.”

On August 18, 2009, our Board of Directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of the holder of a majority of our outstanding capital stock, an amendment of our Articles of Incorporation (the “Amended Articles”), to change our name to “Mexus Gold, US” to more accurately reflect our anticipated future mining operations. The majority stockholders approved the Amended Articles pursuant to a written consent dated as of August 18, 2009. The proposed Amended Articles are attached hereto as Appendix A.

The Amended Articles effecting the name change will become effective following the 20th day after the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders as of the Record Date.

The Amended Articles have been adopted based on the change of business of the Company. We will develop toward to the new exploration and mining operations which has become our major business. Therefore, our Board of Directors has determined that the change of our name to “Mexus Gold US” is in the best interest of our stockholders and will more accurately reflect, and allow us to engage in, our new business operations.
 

ACTION #2:  TO CHANGE THE DOMICLE OF THE COMPANY TO NEVADA.

Introduction
 
The holders of a majority of our voting stock have approved the Reincorporation to the State of Nevada.  The board of directors has unanimously approved the proposal.  We have formed a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary named “Mexus Gold, US,” which we refer to as “Mexus Nevada” in this information statement.  We will use the term “Mexus Colorado” to refer to our existing Colorado corporation.  The Reincorporation will be effected by a merger transaction in which Mexus Colorado will be merged with and into Mexus Nevada.
 
Mexus Nevada, which was incorporated on October 1, 2009, for the sole purpose of effecting the merger, has not engaged in any business to date and has no assets.
 
The Reincorporation and the merger of Mexus Colorado into Mexus Nevada will result in a change in the domicile of the company from Colorado to Nevada.  The merger will not result in any change to the management, location of the principal executive offices or other facilities, capitalization, assets or liabilities of the company.  Mexus Colorado’s employee benefit arrangements, if any, will be continued by Mexus Nevada upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions.  In management’s judgment, no presently contemplated activities of the company will be either favorably or unfavorably affected in any material respect by the Reincorporation. As shareholders of our company, however, you should be aware that the corporation law of Nevada and the corporation law of Colorado differ in a number of significant respects, including differences pertaining to the rights of shareholders.  We encourage you to carefully review the discussion of some of these differences under the heading “Significant Differences Between the Corporation Laws of Colorado and Nevada.”
 
Pursuant to the merger, each issued and outstanding one (1) share of Mexus Colorado will be automatically converted into and become one (1) share of common stock of Mexus Nevada.  Upon completion of the merger, Mexus Colorado, as a corporate entity, will cease to exist, and Mexus Nevada will continue to operate the business of the company under its new name, Mexus Gold, US.  Share certificates representing each one (1) share of issued and outstanding shares of common of Mexus Colorado will be automatically converted into and become one (1) share of common stock of Mexus Nevada.
 
It will not be necessary for shareholders to exchange their existing stock certificates for stock certificates of Mexus Nevada.
 
A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, which we refer to as the “merger agreement” in this proxy statement, is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.
 
In addition, pursuant to the Reincorporation, we will change the par value of Mexus Colorado’s common stock from zero (0) par value to $.001 par value.  Any changes to Mexus Colorado’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are considered by management as insignificant.

We are currently governed by the Colorado Revised Statutes, our current articles of incorporation and bylaws.  If the Reincorporation is approved, we will be governed by Title 7 of the Revised Nevada Statues and our new Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, which will result in certain changes in the rights of our shareholders as discussed below.  Copies of the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Mexus Nevada are attached to this information statement as Appendices B and C, respectively.

The Reincorporation will allow us to take advantage of certain provisions of the corporate laws of Nevada.  The purposes and effects of the proposed transaction are summarized below.
 
The following is a summary of the Reincorporation.  Because it is a summary, it does not include all of the information regarding the Reincorporation and is therefore qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, the Articles of Incorporation of Mexus Nevada and the bylaws of Mexus Nevada attached to this information statement as Appendices A, B, and C, respectively.
 
Treatment of Stock Options and Warrants
 
There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Mexus Colorado outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation.
 
Directors and Officers
 
The directors and officers of Mexus Colorado will be the directors and officers of Mexus Nevada after the Reincorporation.  Currently, Mr. Paul D. Thompson is our sole director, President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.
 
Effective Time of Reincorporation
 
Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, we intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this information statement is sent to our shareholders, appropriate articles or certificates of merger with the Secretary of State of Colorado and the Secretary of State of Nevada.  The Reincorporation will become effective at the time the last of such filings is completed.  It is presently contemplated that such filings will be made late October, 2009.  However, the merger agreement provides that the merger may be abandoned by the Board of Directors prior to the effective time.  In addition, the merger agreement may be amended prior to the effective time, unless the amendment would, in the judgment of the board of directors, have a material adverse effect on your rights as shareholders or in any manner violate applicable law.
 
Exchange of Stock Certificates
 
On or after the effective time of the Reincorporation, all of the outstanding certificates that, prior to that time, represented shares of common stock of Mexus Colorado will be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership and to represent the same number of shares of common stock, of Mexus Nevada into which such shares are converted in the Reincorporation (other than shares as to which the holder thereof has properly exercised dissenters’ rights under Colorado law).  The registered owner of any such outstanding stock certificate will, until such certificate will have been surrendered for transfer or conversion or otherwise accounted for to Mexus Nevada, have and be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to, and to receive any dividend or other distributions upon, the shares of common stock of Mexus Nevada evidenced by such outstanding certificate.  After the effective time of the Reincorporation, whenever certificates which formerly represented shares of Mexus Colorado are presented for transfer or conversion, Mexus Nevada will cause to be issued in respect thereof a certificate or certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of common stock of Mexus Nevada.
 
Shares of Mexus Nevada’s common stock will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, where shares of Mexus Colorado’s common stock are presently traded.
 
You are not required to exchange your stock certificates for Mexus Nevada stock certificates, although you may do so if you wish.
 
Principal Reasons for Changing Our State of Incorporation
 
The board of directors believes that the Reincorporation of our company under the laws of the State of Nevada will provide flexibility for both our management and business.  For many years, Nevada has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in Nevada and, in furtherance of that policy, has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that are periodically updated and revised to meet changing business needs.  As a result, many major corporations have initially chosen Nevada for their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Nevada in a manner similar to what we have proposed.  Because of Nevada’s significance as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, the Nevada judiciary has become particularly familiar with matters of corporate law, and a substantial body of court decisions has developed construing Nevada’s corporation laws.  As a result, Nevada corporate law has been, and is likely to continue to be, interpreted and explained in a number of significant court decisions, a circumstance which will provide greater predictability with respect to our legal affairs.
 
In contrast, the CRS, to which Mexus Colorado is currently subject, was only recently enacted in its current form and has not been the subject of a significant number of judicial decisions interpreting its provisions.
 
Effects of Reincorporation in Nevada
 
Description of common stock
 
All outstanding shares of Mexus Colorado common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.  Each share of the outstanding Mexus Colorado common stock is entitled to participate equally in dividends as and when declared by the board of directors and is entitled to participate equally in any distribution of net assets made to the shareholders upon liquidation of the company.  There are no redemption, sinking fund, conversion or preemptive rights with respect to the Mexus Colorado common stock.  The holders of the company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters voted upon by shareholders and may not cumulate votes for the election of directors.  The company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock since its inception and does not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future.  Under the terms of the merger agreement, each one (1)  share of Mexus Colorado common stock will convert to one (1) share of Mexus Nevada common stock, and the shares of Mexus Nevada common stock will also possess the characteristics of the Mexus Colorado common stock that are described in this paragraph.
 
Description of preferred stock
 
The Articles of Incorporation of Mexus Nevada authorizes the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.  The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series.  The board of directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock, to determine the designation of any such series and to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and, within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the board of directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease  (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

Outstanding Shares of Stock

As of September 18, 2009, 50,083,000 shares of the company’s common stock were issued and outstanding and zero (0) shares of the company’s preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to be in Effect After the Reincorporation

Following the Reincorporation, we will be subject to the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Mexus Nevada.  A copy of the Articles of Incorporation of Mexus Nevada are attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B, and a copy of the bylaws of Mexus Nevada is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix C.  The articles of incorporation attached as Appendix B and the bylaws attached to as Appendix C are substantially similar to Mexus Colorado’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Approval of the Reincorporation by our shareholders will automatically result in the adoption of the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Mexus Nevada.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation

Because of differences between the CRS and the NRS, the Reincorporation will effect some changes in the rights of Mexus Colorado’s shareholders. Summarized below are the most significant differences between the rights of the shareholders of Mexus Colorado before and after the Reincorporation, as a result of the differences among the CRS and the NRS,

The summary below is not intended to be relied upon as an exhaustive list of all differences or a complete description of the differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the CRS, the Colorado Articles of Incorporation, the Colorado Bylaws, the NRS, the Nevada Articles of Incorporation and the Nevada Bylaws.

Colorado
 
Nevada
     
Action By Shareholders Without A Meeting
   
The CRS provides that less than unanimous consent can be effective if so stated in the Colorado corporation’s articles of incorporation.
 
Consistent with the NRS, the Mexus Nevada Bylaws provide that any action that could be taken at an annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if written consents are signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
     
Removal Of Directors
   
The CRS provides that (unless the articles of incorporation provide to the contrary) any director may be removed, with or without cause, by shareholders if the votes cast in favor of removal exceed the votes cast against removal.
 
The NRS allow for the removal, with or without cause, of any or all members of the Board by the vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of shares entitled to vote
     
Indemnification
   
The Colorado Articles and Bylaws provide that the officers and directors of Mexus Colorado are to be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Colorado law. The Colorado Bylaws require that the company indemnify the following persons, only if such persons acted in good faith and in a manner such persons reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the company (or in the case of actions not for the company, at least not opposed to the best interests of the company), and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful: (i) directors, except with respect to a personal benefit improperly received by such directors and (ii) officers and employees, except with respect to matters in which such officers and employees are adjudged to be liable for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct and except with respect to a personal benefit improperly received by such officers and employees. In addition, as required by the CRS, the company is required to give shareholders, with or before the notice for the next shareholders’ meeting, a notice of all indemnification of, or advancement of expenses to, directors of the company in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation.
 
Consistent with the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation  and Bylaws of the company  provides that the officers and directors of the company-Nevada are to be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
 
     
Notice Of Adjournments And Other Actions
   
The CRS requires that (i) if the authorized shares of the company are to be increased, at least 30 days’ notice of an annual or special meeting of shareholders shall be given to the shareholders of record, and (ii) if a shareholder meeting is adjourned for more than 120 days (in which case a new record date is to be fixed by the Board of the company), notice shall be given to record holders as of the new record date.
 
The NRS provides that notice of shareholder meetings be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting. If a shareholder meeting is adjourned (a) for more than 60 days (in which case a new record date is to be fixed by the Board of the company), notice shall be given to record holders as of the new record date, or (b) for less than 60 days but to a date, time or location uncertain, then an additional notice of the date, time and location of the reconvened meeting shall be given to the original shareholders of record.
     
Record Date
   
The CRS provides that the record date may not be more than 70 days prior to the meeting date.
 
 
The NRS permit the Board of Directors to set a record date for shareholders entitled to vote at any shareholder meeting which record date is not to be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the meeting. In the event action is to be taken by written consent, the Board may adopt a record date for such consent no sooner than the date on which the Board takes action or later than the date 10 days following the Board action, or is no record date is determined by the Board, the record date for the action by written consent will be the date on which Board approval of the matter was obtained, or if no Board approval was required, the first date on which an action on such matter is delivered by a shareholder.
     
Amendment To The Articles Of Incorporation
   
Under the CRS, amendments to Mexus Colorado’s Articles of Incorporation (other than certain ministerial amendments that may be made by the Board without shareholder action) may be proposed by the Board or by the holders of shares representing at least 10% of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the amendment. The Board must recommend the amendment to the shareholders, unless the amendment is being proposed by the shareholders, or unless the Board determines that because of a conflict of interest or other special circumstances it should make no recommendation and communicates the basis for its determination to the shareholders with the amendment.  Under the CRS, amendments to the articles of incorporation generally have to be approved by a majority of the shares voting if a quorum is present.
 
In accordance with the NRS, amendments to the Nevada Articles of Incorporation generally require that the Board adopt a resolution setting forth the amendment and submitting it to a vote of the shareholders (i.e., shareholders are not entitled to enact an amendment to the Nevada Articles of Incorporation without any Board action).
     
Amendment To The Bylaws
   
The Colorado Bylaws provide that the Board may amend such bylaws to add, change or delete any provision thereof, unless the CRS or the company’s Articles of Incorporation reserve such power to the shareholders, or the affected bylaw prohibits amendment by the Board. Subject to the Articles of Incorporation and the CRS, the shareholders may amend the Bylaws of the company.
 
The shareholders of the company-Nevada may adopt, amend or repeal its Bylaws. The company’s Nevada’s Articles of Incorporation provides that the Board also may amend, restate or repeal its bylaws. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the Board does not divest the shareholders of the power, nor limit the shareholders’ power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.
     
Dissolution
   
Under the CRS, the Board may submit a proposal of voluntary dissolution of the company to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon. The Board must recommend such dissolution to the shareholders as part of the dissolution proposal, unless the Board determines that because of a conflict of interest or other special circumstances it should make no recommendation and communicates the basis for its determination to the shareholders. Following such Board action, and proper notice to all shareholders and subject to the fulfillment of any conditions to the dissolution, Mexus Colorado may be dissolved upon the affirmative vote of the majority of shareholders in each voting group entitled to vote.
 
The company will be subject to the same voting requirement with respect to a dissolution of Mexus Nevada as Mexus Colorado
     
Dividends
   
The CRS requires that the payment of distributions is generally permissible unless after giving effect to the dividend or distribution, the corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or if the total assets of the corporation would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were dissolved at the time the dividend was paid, to satisfy the preferential rights of shareholders whose preferential rights upon dissolution of the corporation are greater than those of the shareholders receiving the dividend.
 
Consistent with the NRS, the Articles of Incorporation of the company-Nevada permit the payment of dividends on its outstanding shares in all instances other than where the Corporation would be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business.
     
Corporate Records (Form Of Records)
   
Under the CRS, the company is required to keep as permanent records minutes of all meetings of the shareholders and the Board of the company, a record of all actions taken by the shareholders or the Board of the company without a meeting, a record of all actions taken by a committee of the Board of the company, and a record of all waivers of notices of meetings of shareholders and of the Board of the company or any committee of the Board. In addition, the CRS requires the company to keep specific records at its principal office, including the Colorado Articles of Incorporation, the Colorado Bylaws and the minutes of all shareholders’ meetings, and records of all action taken by shareholders without a meeting, for the past three years.
 
The NRS requires that certified copies of the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and bylaws and a copy of its stock ledger be kept at the offices of the Corporation's resident agent in the State of Nevada.
     
Examination Of Books And Records
   
Under the CRS, any record or beneficial shareholder of the company may, upon 5 days’ written demand, inspect certain records, including shareholder actions, minutes of shareholder meetings, communications with shareholders and recent financial statements. In addition, upon 5 days’ written demand, any such shareholder may inspect the list of shareholders and certain other corporate records, including minutes of the meetings of Board of the company, if the shareholder either (i) has been a shareholder for at least 3 months or (ii) is a shareholder of at least 5% of all outstanding shares of any class of shares when the demand is made, provided that the demand is made in good faith for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interests as a shareholder.
 
Under the NRS, any shareholder of record for more than 6 months or person authorized by the holder(s) of at least 5% of the Corporation's outstanding shares may, upon 5 days’ written demand, inspect the copies of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or stock ledger at the offices of the resident agent, except that the Corporation may deny any such right to any person that refuses to provide an affidavit that the inspection is not desired for a purpose other than the business of the corporation and the person has not sold or offered for sale any list of stockholders of any corporation or aided another in procuring such a list for any purpose. In addition, any holder(s) of record of at least 15% of the Corporation's outstanding shares, or person authorized by them, may, upon 5 days' written demand, inspect and make copies of the books of account and all financial records of the Corporation, and conduct an audit of such records, except that the Corporation may deny such right to any person that refuses to provide an affidavit that such inspection, copies or audit is not desired for any purpose not related to such person’s interests as a shareholder.
     
Business Combination Statute
   
The CRS does not contain any business combination provisions.
 
The NRS provides that except under certain circumstances, a "combination" between (a) corporations having a class of shares registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and at least 200 shareholders of record and (b) an "interested shareholder" are prohibited within three years of the shareholder becoming an "interested shareholder." An "interested shareholder," as defined under the NRS Code is a person that directly or indirectly, controls 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 10% or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous three years. A "combination" includes a merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of assets having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the aggregate market value of the consolidated assets of the corporation or its outstanding stock, disposition of assets having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the market value of all the outstanding shares of the corporation, or said assets represent 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation. Additionally, certain other transactions that would increase the interested shareholders' proportionate share under the NRS, such business combinations between a corporation and an interested shareholder are prohibited.
 
Generally corporations may not engage in any combination with an interested shareholder of the resident domestic corporation after the expiration of 3 years after his date of acquiring shares, unless (1) the combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation before the interested shareholder's date of acquiring shares, (2) the purchase of shares made by the shareholder in which it became an interested shareholder had been approved by the board of directors before that date, or (3) a combination approved by vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding shares not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder proposing the combination, or any affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder proposing the combination, at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than three years after the interested shareholder's date of acquiring shares.
     
Control Share Acquisition Statute
   
The CRS does not contain any control share acquisition provisions.
 
The NRS provides that under certain circumstances any person directly or indirectly acquiring a “controlling interest” in an “issuing corporation” obtains only those voting rights with respect to shares purchased within the 90-day period leading up to the attainment of “control” status as are approved by the disinterested shareholders of the corporation. A “controlling interest” is deemed to be the direct or indirect power to exercise at least 20% of the voting power of the shareholders in the election of directors. An “issuing corporation” is a Nevada corporation directly or indirectly doing business in Nevada with at least 200 stockholders, of which 100 must have Nevada addresses.
 
An issuing corporation may adopt a provision, on or before the date 10 days following the control share acquisition, allowing the corporation to call for the redemption of an acquiring person’s shares (at their average acquisition price) if (a) the acquiring person fails to deliver certain information to the corporation within 10 days following acquisition of the controlling interest or (b) such information is delivered but the stockholders fail to confer full voting rights to the control shares.
 
Unless the corporation has provided otherwise in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws on or before the 10th day following the control share acquisition, if (x) the control shares are conferred full voting rights by the stockholders, and (y) the acquiring person has obtained a majority or more of all voting power, any disinterested stockholder not voting in favor of conferring voting rights to the control shares may demand payment for his shares at a price not less than the average acquisition price (ambiguous as to whether this means for the control person or the redeeming person). The Board must give notice and opportunity to elect to be bought out to all stockholders not voting in favor of the grant of full voting rights.
     
Dissenters’ And Appraisal Rights
   
Under the CRS, and with certain exceptions, shareholders are entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights in the event of certain mergers, share exchanges, conversions, sales, leases, exchanges or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation. Shareholders also may dissent in the case of a reverse stock split that reduces the number of shares owned to a fraction of a share or to scrip if such scrip is to be acquired for cash or voided. Dissenters’ rights in Colorado are available to both record holders and beneficial holders.
 
Except as specifically provided in a corporation’s articles or bylaws, the NRS provides appraisal rights only in the case of a shareholder objecting to certain mergers or consolidations. Thus, unless otherwise specifically provided in a corporation's article’ or bylaws, under the NRS, shareholders have no appraisal rights in a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets.
     
Reacquisition Of Stock By The Corporation
   
Under the CRS, the company may acquire its own shares, subject to certain limitations, and except in certain circumstances, such shares will constitute authorized but unissued shares
 
Consistent with the NRS, the company may acquire its own shares.  The  stock issued by the company as  fully paid and afterwards reacquired by the company have the status of “treasury shares” if the Board does not by resolution retire to authorized but unissued stock the shares reacquired.
 
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REINCORPORATION
 
The Reincorporation is intended to be tax free under the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly, you will recognize no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the completion of the Reincorporation.  You will have a tax basis in your shares of capital stock of Mexus Nevada equal to your tax basis in your shares of capital stock of Mexus Colorado.  Provided that you have held your shares of capital stock of Mexus Colorado as a capital asset, your holding period for the shares of capital stock of Mexus Nevada will include the holding period of your shares of capital stock of Mexus Colorado.  Neither we nor Mexus Nevada will recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reincorporation, and Mexus Nevada will succeed, without adjustment, to our tax attributes.
 
You should consult your own tax advisers as to the particular tax consequences to you of the Reincorporation under state, local or foreign tax laws.
 
DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS
 
Under Colorado law, shareholders of Mexus Colorado who give the required notice are entitled to dissent and obtain payment of the fair value of their shares in the event of the consummation of the Reincorporation pursuant to Section 7-113-102 of the CRS.  A copy of Article 113 of Title 7 of the CRS is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix D. The material requirements for a shareholder to properly exercise his or her rights are summarized below. The CRS is very technical with respect to a shareholders' right to dissent, and the following summary is qualified in its entirety by the actual statutory provisions that should be carefully reviewed by any shareholder wishing to assert such rights.

If you choose either to assert your dissenters’ rights or preserve your right to dissent, you should carefully review the requirements of Section 7-113-102 of the CRS and consult with an attorney.

Under Colorado Law, dissenters' rights will be available only to those shareholders of Mexus Colorado who cause Mexus Colorado to receive written notice of the shareholder’s intent to demand payment for shares owned by the shareholder if the Reincorporation is completed. A record holder can assert its right to dissent as to fewer than all of the shares held of record only if the record holder dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by one person and the notice of intent to demand payment from the record owner includes the specified information about the beneficial owner. If you own your shares through a broker, you will have to follow the alternative procedure (set forth in §7-113-103 of the CRS) for asserting your right to dissent.
 
All such notices of intent to demand payment under the dissenters’ rights statute should be mailed to: President, PO Box 235472, Encinitas, CA 92024.

Within ten days after the effective date of the Reincorporation Mexus Nevada will send to each shareholder who has satisfied both of the foregoing conditions a written notice in which the Company will notify such shareholders of their right to demand payment for their shares and will supply a form for dissenting shareholders to demand payment. Shareholders will then have thirty days in which to demand payment and deposit their shareholder's certificates for certificated shares. If required in the notice to be sent by the Company, each dissenting shareholder must also certify in the payment demand whether or not he or she acquired beneficial ownership of such shares before or after September 18, 2009.

If you fail to comply fully with the statutory procedure summarized above, you will forfeit your right to dissent.

The request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting, the place where it is to be held and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the chairman of the board, the president, any vice president or the secretary of the corporation.  The officer receiving such request forthwith shall cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.  If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice.  Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the board of directors may be held.

E. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.  Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice.  If no such address appears on the corporation’s books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent by mail or telegram to the corporation’s principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where this office is located.  Personal delivery of any such notice to any officer of a corporation or association or to any member of a partnership shall constitute delivery of such notice to such corporation, association or partnership.  Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication.  In the event of the transfer of stock after delivery or mailing of the notice of and prior to the holding of the meeting, it shall not be necessary to deliver or mail notice of the meeting to the transferee.
 
If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available to the stockholder upon written demand of the stockholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of such notice.
 
An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders’ meeting shall be executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.
 
Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
 
F. QUORUM.  The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or the articles of incorporation.  The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.
 
G. ADJOURNED MEETING AND NOTICE THEREOF.  Any stockholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting.
 
When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
 
H. VOTING.  Unless a record date set for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 1 of Article VIII of these bylaws, only persons in whose names shares entitled to vote stand on the stock records of the corporation at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given (or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held) shall be entitled to vote at such meeting.  Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter other than elections of directors or officers, may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares such stockholder is entitled to vote.  Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand by a stockholder at any election and before the voting begins.
 
When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the articles of incorporation a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.  Every stockholder of record of the corporation shall be entitled at each meeting of stockholders to one vote for each share of stock standing in his name on the books of the corporation.
 
I. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT STOCKHOLDERS.  The transactions at any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof.  The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of such proposal.  All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

2. By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding;
 
3. If a majority vote of a quorum  consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

C. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS.  The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Nevada.

E. CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS; HOW EXECUTED.  The board of directors, except as in the bylaws otherwise provided, may authorize any officer or officers, agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances; and, unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or to any amount.
 
F. STOCK CERTIFICATES.  A certificate or certificates for shares of the capital stock of the corporation shall be issued to each stockholder when any such shares are fully paid, and the board of directors may authorize the issuance of certificates or shares as partly paid provided that such certificates shall state the amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon.  All certificates shall be signed in the name of the corporation by the president or vice president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or any assistant secretary, certifying the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by the stockholder.  When the corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class or more than one series of any class, there shall be set forth upon the face or back of the certificate, or the certificate shall have a statement that the corporation will furnish to any stockholders upon request and without charge, a full or summary statement of the designations, preferences and relatives, participating, optional or other special rights of the various classes of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such rights, and, if the corporation shall be authorized to issue only special stock, such certificate must set forth in full or summarize the rights of the holders of such stock.  Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile.  In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Failure to give notice as provided by this subsection (2) shall not affect any action taken pursuant to section 7-107-104 for which the notice was to have been given, but any shareholder who was entitled to dissent but who was not given such notice shall not be precluded from demanding payment for the shareholder's shares under this article by reason of the shareholder's failure to comply with the provisions of section 7-113-202(2).

With respect to any dissenter who does not so certify in writing, in or with the payment demand, that the dissenter or the person on whose behalf the dissenter asserts dissenters' rights acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before such date, the corporation may, in lieu of making the payment provided in section 7-113-206, offer to make such payment if the dissenter agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of the demand.

(a) The dissenter believes that the amount paid under section 7-113-206 or offered under section 7-113-208 is less than the fair value of the shares or that the interest due was incorrectly calculated;

(b) The corporation fails to make payment under section 7-113-206 within sixty days after the date set by the corporation by which the corporation must receive the payment demand; or

(c) The corporation does not return the deposited certificates or release the transfer restrictions imposed on uncertificated shares as required by section 7-113-207(1).

(2) A dissenter waives the right to demand payment under this section unless the dissenter causes the corporation to receive the notice required by subsection (1) of this section within thirty days after the corporation made or offered payment for the dissenter's shares.

Part 3. Judicial Appraisal of Shares

§ 7-113-301. Court action

(1) If a demand for payment under section 7-113-209 remains unresolved, the corporation may, within sixty days after receiving the payment demand, commence a proceeding and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty-day period, it shall pay to each dissenter whose demand remains unresolved the amount demanded.

(2) The corporation shall commence the proceeding described in subsection (1) of this section in the district court for the county in this state in which the street address of the corporation's principal office is located, or, if the corporation has no principal office in this state, in the district court for the county in which the street address of its registered agent is located, or, if the corporation has no registered agent, in the district court for the city and county of Denver. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered agent, it shall commence the proceeding in the county in which the domestic corporation merged into, or whose shares were acquired by, the foreign corporation would have commenced the action if that corporation were subject to the first sentence of this subsection (2).
 
(3) The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unresolved parties to the proceeding commenced under subsection (2) of this section as in an action against their shares, and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition. Service on each dissenter shall be by registered or certified mail, to the address stated in such dissenter's payment demand, or if no such address is stated in the payment demand, at the address shown on the corporation's current record of shareholders for the record shareholder holding the dissenter's shares, or as provided by law.

(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) of this section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to such order. The parties to the proceeding are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

(5) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding commenced under subsection (2) of this section is entitled to judgment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation, or for the fair value, plus interest, of the dissenter's shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under section 7-113-208.

§ 7-113-302. Court costs and counsel fees

(1) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under section 7-113-301 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation; except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding payment under section 7-113- 209.

(2) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any dissenters if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with part 2 of this article; or

(b) Against either the corporation or one or more dissenters, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this article.

(3) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to said counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefitted.
