INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF SPECIAL MEETING

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

 

 

General Information

This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of DigiPath, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), to advise them of the corporate actions described herein, which have been authorized by the written consent of a stockholder owning a majority of the Company’s voting stock, in accordance with the requirements of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

This Information Statement will first be mailed to stockholders on or about March 3, 2014 and is being furnished for informational purposes only.

 

Our board of directors has determined that the close of business on February 28, 2014 was the record date (“Record Date”) for the stockholders entitled to notice about the actions authorizing the amendment of our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 900,000,000, and to change the authorized preferred shares (“Preferred Stock”) to 10,000,000 blank check preferred. The foregoing actions are referred to herein as the “Actions.”

 

Under Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, any action required or permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes to be taken at a meeting of stockholders of a Nevada corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, are signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power.

 

As of the Record Date, Eric Stoppenhagen (“Stoppenhagen”), who then owned of record 2,500,000 shares (45.2%) of our common stock (“Common Stock”) and Steven Barbee (“Barbee”), who then owned of record 2,500,000 shares (45.2%) of our Common Stock, executed and delivered to us a written consent authorizing and approving the Actions. As of the Record Date, Stoppenhagen and Barbee held approximately 90.2% of our outstanding voting stock.

 

Accordingly, the above Actions have been approved by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of voting stock and no further vote or further action of our stockholders is required to approve the Actions. You are hereby being provided with notice of the approval of the Actions by less than unanimous written consent of our stockholders. However, under federal law, the Actions will not be effective until at least 20 days after this Information Statement has first been sent to stockholders. Stockholders do not have any dissenter or appraisal rights in connection with the Actions.

 

On February 28, 2014, our board of directors approved the amendment of our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 50,000,000 to 900,000,000, to change the authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000 blank check preferred and authorized our officers to deliver this Information Statement.

 

The principal executive office of the Company is located at 1328 W. Balboa Blvd. Suite C, Newport Beach, CA 92661. The telephone number of the principal executive office of the Company is (949) 903-0468.

 

Interest of Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

 

No officer, director or principal stockholder has a substantial or material interest in the favorable outcome of the Actions other than as discussed herein.

 

Change of Control

 

We currently do not have any agreement for a change in control or funding.

 

VOTING SECURITIES

At the time of the stockholder action our issued and outstanding voting securities consisted of shares of Common Stock. There were 5,536,400 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.

 

Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to the holders of Common Stock for their approval.

 

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding Common Stock beneficially owned on the Record Date for (i) each stockholder known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each executive officer and director and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. In general, a 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 such security, or the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days, through the exercise of a warrant or stock option, conversion of a convertible security or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, each person in the table will have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. For purposes of this table, shares not outstanding which are subject to issuance on exercises of stock options that are held by one or more person(s) are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage(s) of outstanding shares beneficially owned by such person(s) but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage for any other person. The table assumes a total of 5,536,400 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

 INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK AND CHANGE THE DESIGNATIONS, RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF THE PREFERRED STOCK

We are currently authorized by our articles of incorporation to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the Record Date, there were 5,536,400 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. In addition, we are currently authorized by our articles of incorporation to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the Record Date, there were zero shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

 

Increase in Authorized Common Stock

 

We are increasing our authorized shares of common stock because we will likely be required, in connection with the ongoing operation of our business, to issue shares of Common Stock, options, awards and warrants in connection with employee benefit and incentive plans and employment arrangements, for financing our future operations, for acquiring other businesses, for forming strategic partnerships and alliances, and for stock dividends and stock splits. No such specific issuances are currently anticipated.

 

Accordingly, our board of directors believes it is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to provide a sufficient number of authorized and reserved shares to allow the issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities in connection with employee benefit and incentive plans and arrangements, the financing of our operations, the acquisition of other businesses, the establishment of joint ventures, and such other purposes as our board of directors determines.

 

The increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to a level that continues to provide a meaningful number of authorized but unreserved shares will permit our board of directors to issue additional shares of Common Stock without further approval of our stockholders, and our board of directors does not intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of the authorized capital stock unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law or stock market or exchange requirements. Our issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders, and such issuances may not require stockholder approval.

 

Other than limited provisions under the laws of Nevada, we do not have in place provisions which may have an anti-takeover effect. The increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to provide a sufficient number of authorized but unreserved shares to allow for the issuance of shares of Common Stock under various scenarios may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of shares of Common Stock to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws. The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock did not result from our knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise, and we did not take such action to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock to enable us to frustrate any efforts by another party to acquire a controlling interest or to seek representation on our board of directors.

 

The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity and voting power of existing holders of Common Stock. It may also adversely affect the market price of Common Stock. However, if additional shares are issued in transactions whereby favorable business opportunities are provided which allow us to pursue our business plans, the market price of Common Stock may increase.

 

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. We do not intend to declare and pay dividends in the near future. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the shares of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over Common Stock. Holders of shares of Common Stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to Common Stock. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders. 

 

Change in the Designations, Rights and Preferences of the Preferred Stock

We currently have 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. We are solely changing the designations, rights and preferences of the authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The purpose of changing the designations, rights, and preferences required, in connection with the ongoing operation of our business, to issue shares of Preferred Stock in connection with the financings of our future operations, for acquiring other businesses, and for forming strategic partnerships and alliances. No such specific issuances are currently anticipated.

 

Accordingly, our board of directors changing the designations, rights, and preferences of Preferred Stock to provide greater flexibility in structuring terms in connection with financing of our operations, the acquisition of other businesses, the establishment of joint ventures, and such other purposes as our board of directors determines.

 

We are changing the designations, rights and preferences of our authorized shares of preferred stock. Our amended certificate of incorporation will authorizes the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board of directors. No shares of preferred stock have been designated, issued or were outstanding as of the Record Date. Accordingly, our board of directors will be empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with voting, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

 

Among other rights, our board of directors may determine, without further vote or action by our stockholders:

 

  · the number of shares and the designation of the series;

 

  · whether to pay dividends on the series and, if so, the dividend rate, whether dividends will be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority of payment of dividends on shares of the series;

 

  · whether the series will have voting rights in addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of the voting rights;

 

  · whether the series will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or series of stock and, if so, the terms and conditions of conversion or exchange;

 

  · whether or not the shares of the series will be redeemable and, if so, the dates, terms and conditions of redemption and whether there will be a sinking fund for the redemption of that series and, if so, the terms and amount of the sinking fund; and

 

  · the rights of the shares of the series in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of shares of the series.

 

We presently do not have plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. However, preferred stock could be used to dilute a potential hostile acquirer. Accordingly, any future issuance of preferred stock or any rights to purchase preferred shares may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. This may delay, defer or prevent a change of control in our Company or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings attributable to, and assets available for distribution to, the holders of our common stock and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock.

 

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation

 

On the Record Date, the amendment of our articles of incorporation to increase of the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 900,000,000 and to change the designations, rights and preferences of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000 blank check preferred was approved by the written consent of a stockholder representing approximately 90.4% of our outstanding voting stock. On February 28, 2014, our board of directors approved such amendment. The approval of the amendment of our articles of incorporation to authorize the increase of the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 900,000,000 and change the designations, rights and preferences of authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000 blank check preferred required such board approval and the affirmative vote of stockholders representing a majority of our outstanding voting securities. Such requirements have been met, so no vote or further action of our stockholders is required to approve the amendment of our articles of incorporation to authorize the increase of the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 900,000,000 and to change the designations, rights and preferences of authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000 blank check preferred. You are hereby being provided with notice of the approval of such amendment by less than unanimous written consent of our stockholders. 

 

The text of the amendment which we will file to the Articles of Incorporation is as follows:
