As of March 19, 2015 the Company’s authorized capitalization consisted of 6,000,000 common shares, of which 5,816,332 common shares were issued and outstanding as a result of the reverse split of the common stock of the Company.

AMENDMENT TO U.S. RARE EARTH MINERALS, INC.’S

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

The Board of Directors and majority stockholders have approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effectuate the corporate actions outlined below.

 

We intend to file an Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada effectuating the corporate action outlined below.  Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Amendment will not be filed, until ten (10) days after the date a Definitive Information Statement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a copy thereof is mailed to each of our stockholders.  It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or about April 8, 2015.

 

Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to authorize 300,000,000 common shares par value, $0.001. 

 

The current Articles of Incorporation of the Company do not authorize the Company to issue 300,000,000 common shares. The Board of Directors and the holders of 50.11% of the issued and outstanding common shares have determined that having 300,000,000 could facilitate corporate financing and other plans of the Company, which are intended to foster its growth and flexibility.  After the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors will be authorized to issue common shares without further shareholder approval.

Reason for Amendment

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to authorize 300,000,000 shares of common stock with par value $0.001.because it will permit the Company sell more stock to new investors or to pay obligations of the Company with stock in lieu of cash. Presently the Company cannot exceed the issuance set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, which is, six million (6,000,000) shares of common stock. There are presently 5,816,332 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors of the Company has the right to amend the articles of the Company in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS Section 78.207) upon obtaining the written consent of shareholders owning a majority of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Company.

 

Effects of the Amendment

 

Immediately after the 1 for 50 reverse stock split, the Company was authorized to issue only 6,000,000 shares of common stock. As a result of the consent of stockholders owning a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, the Company is now authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock. This action only pertains only to the Company’s common stock. The Authorized 50,000,000 shares of Preferred stock, $0.001 par value, remains the same.
