Dear BayHill shareholders:

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: BayHill plans to acquire an agribusiness located in Ghana, West Africa. This reverse-merger transaction will allow the Company (which will be renamed, Agricon Global Corporation) to cease its SEC regulatory status as a “shell company.” We are excited about this opportunity and are actively pursuing it. This letter is intended to give you more information. The Company is also filing with the SEC a Form 14-f which gives further details.

 

BACKGROUND: We are pleased to describe here the status and activities of the Company. We have been active over the past several years seeking the right opportunity with a strong upside and a strategy that would give the Company growth potential and longevity.

 

As you know from various public announcements we have looked at and had agreements with several viable options. We have insisted that every potential opportunity must have sufficient capital to at least complete the first phase of its strategic growth cycle. When previous candidates were unable to do so, we declined to close the transaction.

 

BAYHILL AND THE GHANA PROJECT: We have recently reached agreement to acquire Canola Property Ghana Limited (“CPGL”), an agricultural company located in Ghana, West Africa. CPGL has recently secured a 50 year lease of 8,000 hectares (approximately 20,000 acres) of agricultural land not previously cultivated. CPGL intends to cultivate canola plants for the production of food grade canola oil for human consumption, protein pellets for cattle feed, and bio pellets for generation of electricity. Rotation crops are expected to be sunflower, soya, and maize. Climate conditions in Ghana can support two full crops each year. Over time, CPGL plans to acquire and operate processing equipment to streamline the farming business and, assuming adequate capital, CPGL has plans to control up to 50,000 hectares (125,000 acres) of prime farmland in the Greater Accra region of Ghana over the next several years.

 

We believe that the demand for canola oil has been increasing at the rate of 15% per year for the past several years. We also believe that food prices world-wide will continue to rise at the current rate of about 3% per year creating a long term opportunity for the agriculture industry. We feel fortunate to have a seasoned and experienced management team that will be joining BayHill/Agricon and an experienced farm team at CPGL in Ghana.

 

Ghana has a positive investment climate with its currency tied to the US dollar and Ghana is a politically stable and peaceful country with free elections since 1957. It also had the world’s highest economical growth in 2010 and 2011. Ghana’s main foreign support comes from the USA and China.

 

As set forth in the attached SEC Form 14-f, we expect a change in some of the board of directors and

1
 

 

management of BayHill. We also expect the name of the Company to be changed to Agricon Global Corporation. We expect that the Company will maintain its corporate headquarters in the United States with a wholly owned Ghanaian subsidiary managing all of the agricultural operations.

 

We have required that BayHill raise a minimum of $600,000 gross proceeds prior to the close of the merger of the two companies. There may be an additional $400,000 raised in this initial private placement round of funding. We have received $450,000 cash and have firm commitments for the balance of $600,000. These private placement shares were priced at $0.50 per share. With these funds the Company will be able to start its farming operations and expects to cultivate and plant a substantial number of hectares before the rainy season begins in May. We are projecting that the merger will be consummated around the end of February or the first part of March.

 

The Company plans an additional capital raise of about $10 million in the very near future to be used for equipment and production and processing facilities, in addition to acquiring additional acreage. Management is projecting that 2013 will be a full production year with 2012 beginning operations and having some harvest and cash flow.

 

We know that many shareholders have experienced illiquidity during the period we have been a “shell company” under SEC rules. We are working to allow more tradability to our shareholders as described in the form 14-f. We apologize for this inconvenience since we know that many of us have been patient investors for many years. We look forward to the Company’s success in this venture and hope to build value over the coming years.

 

We expect to utilize a web site where you can keep up on the progress of the Company. We plan to update our web site information so look for more information at www.bayhillcapital.com. Until then, we thank you for your great patience and support.

 

Robert K. Bench, President

 

James U. Jensen, Chairman

INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO

AND RULE 14f-1 THEREUNDER

 

THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS BEING PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES AND NOT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY VOTE OF THE STOCKHOLDERS OF

BAYHILL CAPITAL CORPORATION

NO PROXIES ARE BEING SOLICITED AND YOU ARE NOT REQUESTED

TO SEND THE COMPANY A PROXY

 

INTRODUCTION

This Information Statement is being furnished to all holders of record of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of BayHill Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the requirements of Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the “Exchange Act”, and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, in connection with the proposed transactions contemplated by an agreement and plan of merger, or the “merger agreement”, by and among the Company and Canola Property Ghana Limited, a Ghanaian limited liability company (“CPGL”) pursuant to which the Company will issue and deliver shares of common stock to the equity holders of CPGL in exchange for 100% of the equity of CPGL, in the “merger”, resulting in CPGL becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and resulting in a change of control of the Company and our board of directors. In this Information Statement, the terms (i) “we,” “us,” “our,” “BayHill” or “the Company” refer to BayHill Capital Corporation, and (ii) “CPGL refers to Canola Property Ghana Limited

 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement and upon the consummation of the merger (i) we will assume the operations of CPGL; (ii) each of the 75,000 outstanding shares of CPGL common stock, will be converted into the right to receive a pro rata interest in twelve million (12,000,000) newly issued shares of our common stock; provided that, no fraction of a share of our common stock will be issued by virtue of the merger; and (iii) we will assume no outstanding option or warrant to purchase shares of CPGL common stock. Immediately following the effective time of the merger, we expect that the security holders of CPGL will own 66% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis. This computation assumes that we have raised the maximum $1,000,000 and issued the full 2,000,000 shares in the private placement for our common stock prior to the completion of the merger.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, our board of directors’ composition will change. Our board of directors currently consists of John M. Knab, Robert K. Bench, John D. Thomas and James U. Jensen. Under the merger agreement the number will be set at five directors and will consist of two current directors and two new directors, with a fifth director to be identified and appointed later. The two continuing current directors will be Mr. Jensen and Mr. Bench. Mr. Bench is the current chief executive officer and chief financial officer, a director and a significant stockholder of the Company, while Mr. Jensen is a current director and significant stockholder of the Company. The two new directors will be Mr. Peter Brincker Moeller, Owner of CASE Finance Consulting, a private Danish consulting company, and Rene Dyhring Mikkelsen, an independent investor. A fifth director may be appointed later as the Company’s operations and financings mature. Mr. Knab and Mr. Thomas will resign from our board of directors. In addition, our board of directors will appoint Mr. Peter Brincker Moeller as our chief executive officer and Mr. Bench as our chief financial officer.

 

No action is required by our stockholders in connection with this Information Statement. However, Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder require the mailing of the information in this Information Statement to our stockholders of record at least 10 days prior to the date a change in a majority of our directors, if such change is not effected at a meeting of our stockholders. We are electing to treat this transaction as a change of control. Accordingly the resulting change of our directors will not occur until at least 10 days following the mailing of this Information Statement. This Information Statement will be available to our stockholders of record at February 10, 2012, on or about the date first shown above.

 

In the merger agreement, BayHill and CPGL make standard and customary representations and warranties to each other, and standard covenants regarding the conduct of our respective operations pending the Closing. The controlling shareholders of CPGL make similar representations and warranties. Our obligations to consummate the Merger are subject to certain conditions, any of which may be waived. Conditions to either side closing include, without limitation:

 

£ No temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Merger shall be in effect; and

 

£ As of the date of the Closing, there shall have been no event(s) that had a material adverse effect on the other party; and BayHill and CPGL have each agreed to continue to operate their respective businesses in the ordinary course prior to the consummation of the Merger except as otherwise provided in the merger agreement.

 

Please read this Information Statement carefully. It contains certain biographical and other information concerning our executive officers and directors after completion of the merger.

Proposed Change of Control

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement or as a result of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement the Company will experience a change in control of the Company. The merger and related transactions will have the following consequences:

·         CPGL will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;

4
 

 

·         We will assume the operations of CPGL;

 

·         We will issue 12 million shares of our common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares/equity interests of CPGL common stock;

 

·         We will lose 2 of our current directors and add 2 new directors;

 

·         We will take steps to change our securities regulatory status from a “shell corporation” to an operating company with material assets and having operations;

 

·         We anticipate changing our name to Agricon Global Corporation and we will be applying for a new trading symbol; and

 

·         We will increase the shares allocated to our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan from 300,000 to 3,300,000.

 

As a result of the merger, CPGL security holders will become security holders in the Company. In connection with the closing of the merger we do not expect to assume any options or warrants of CPGL. Immediately following the effective time of the merger, we expect that the security holders of CPGL and affiliates will own 66% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis. This computation assumes that we have raised the maximum $1,000,000 and issued the full 2,000,000 shares in the private placement for our common stock prior to the completion of the merger.

 

We anticipate that the transaction of issuing the securities to the CPGL security holders will be exempt from registration in part based on our reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, or the “Securities Act”, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.

 

The completion of the merger and the other transactions contemplated under the merger agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions including, a private placement of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share to accredited investors for up to $1,000,000 but not less than $600,000 in aggregate gross proceeds. We will need to have received approval of the merger from 100% of the equity interests in CPGL. Nonetheless, unforeseen matters may arise and there can be no assurance that the merger will be completed.

 

VOTING SECURITIES

 

Our common stock is our only class of equity securities that is currently issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of our stockholders. Each share of our common stock entitles the holders to one vote. As of December 31, 2011 there were 4,154,841 shares of our common stock outstanding. The intended change of directors in connection with the merger is not subject to a stockholder vote.

 

RELATED MATTERS ON WHICH STOCKHOLDERS APPROVAL HAS BEEN GIVEN

 

Two matters related to the merger require approval by the stockholders of the Company. On or about February 11, 2012, the Company received such approval by written consent of the holders of a

5
 

 

majority of its outstanding shares. This information Statement includes and constitutes the notice of that action required by the Delaware Business Corporations Act. The company’s board of directors has authorized and recommended and the stockholders have approved these two matters:

 

Change of Name: The Company’s name shall be changed to Agricon Global Corporation to be effective and conditional on closing of the CPGL transaction.

 

Increase in Number of Plan Shares: The Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (under which no awards have been made or are outstanding) shall be amended to increase the share amount under the Plan from 300,000 to 3,300,000 to be effective and conditional on closing of the CPGL transaction.

Except as discussed above, to our knowledge, there have been no events under any bankruptcy act, criminal proceedings and no federal or state judicial or administrative orders, judgments, decrees or findings, no violations of any federal or state securities laws, and no violation of any federal commodities law material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director (existing or proposed), executive officer (existing or proposed), promoter or control person of the Company during the past 10 years.

To our knowledge, there are no material proceedings to which any director (existing or proposed), officer (existing or proposed), affiliate of the Company, any holder of 5% or more of our currently outstanding common stock, any associate of any such director or officer, or any affiliate of such security holder that is adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We evaluate director independence by the standards for director independence established by applicable laws, rules and listing standards. We believe of our current directors, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Jensen and Mr. Knab are independent as such term is defined in NASD Rule 5605(a)(2) and that each of the directors serving on the compensation committee of our board of directors is an “independent director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

 

In evaluating the independence of Mr. Jensen, the current chairman of our board of directors, and a current member of the compensation committee of our board of directors, our board of directors reviewed and considered the relationship between the Company and ClearWater Law & Governance Group, LLC, a limited liability company of which Mr. Jensen is the managing member and chief executive officer, a firm that provides administrative and corporate governance support to small publicly-traded companies, including us. Based upon its review, our board of directors (with Mr. Jensen abstaining)

11
 

 

concluded that the compensation we paid to ClearWater was fair and reasonable and priced competitively and that the services ClearWater provides to us are in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. The compensation we paid to ClearWater is below the amount specified in regulations that would prevent our board of director from determine that Mr. Jensen is “independent” and our board of directors unanimously determined (with Mr. Jensen abstaining) that Mr. Jensen is an independent director. 

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, and to the best of our knowledge, all executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders filed the required reports in a timely manner.

 

Board of Director Meetings

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, our board of directors held three meetings. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of our board of directors and of any committee of our board of directors on which he served. Each board meetings held since that time had 100% attendance of our directors.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our board of directors has a standing audit committee and a compensation committee. To date, our board of directors has not established a nominating or governance committee of our board of directors, in part because our board of directors believes that, at this stage of our development, all of our directors should be actively involved in the matters which would be addressed by such a committee of our board of directors. We believe that the training and experience of our current and prospective directors will allow them to make an important contribution to the Company. We believe that directors should be investors in the Company thus having an aligned interest with that of our shareholders. We may, in the future, establish a nominating or governance committee of our board of directors.

 

We believe each of the directors currently serving on each of our audit and compensation committees of our board of directors is an independent director as such term is defined in NASD Rule 5605(a) (2) and that each of the directors serving on the compensation committee of our board of directors is an “independent director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

 

Audit Committee. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Jensen currently serve as members of the audit committee of our board of directors, with Mr. Thomas serving as chair. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Thomas and Mr. Jensen satisfies the criteria for an audit committee

12
 

 

financial expert under Rule 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Each member of the audit committee of our board of directors is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. The functions of the audit committee of our board of directors are primarily to: (a) facilitate the integrity of our financial statements and internal controls, (b) oversee our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements related to accounting and/or financial controls, (c) evaluate our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, (d) oversee the performance of our internal audit function and the independent registered public accounting firm, and (e) review our systems of disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting, and compliance with ethical standards related to accounting and/or financial controls we have adopted. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee of our board of directors, a copy of which is available the “investor relations” tab on our website, www.bayhillcapital.com. Except as otherwise required by applicable laws, regulations or listing standards or the charter of the audit committee of our board of directors, major decisions regarding our activities and operations are considered by our board of directors as a whole. The audit committee of our board of directors met four times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

 

Following the change in our board of directors, it is anticipated that Mr. Jensen and Mr. Mikkelsen will be appointed as members of the audit committee of our board of directors. Mr. Jensen is expected to serve as our board of directors’ financial expert of the audit committee under Rule 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

 

Compensation Committee. Mr. Knab and Mr. Jensen currently serve as members of the compensation committee of our board of directors, with Mr. Knab serving as Chair. The functions of our compensation committee of our board of directors are primarily to: (a) to oversee the discharge the responsibilities of the board relating to compensation, and (b) to ensure that our compensation plans, programs and values transferred through cash pay, stock and stock-based awards, whether immediate, deferred, or contingent are fair and appropriate to attract, retain and motivate management and are reasonable in view of Company economics and of the relevant practices of other, similar companies. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for our compensation committee of our board of directors, a copy of which is available under the “investor relations” tab on our website, www.bayhillcapital.com. The compensation committee of our board of directors met 0 times during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.

 

We have made no determination concerning any use of the Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan nor of the increase in the number of Company shares set aside for use under the Plan. We expect that following completion of the merger, the Compensation Committee will take-up the matter of executive compensation, including compensation for executive officers and for directors, and the use of stock options and other stock instruments under the Plan.

 

Following the change in our board of directors, it is anticipated that Mr. Jensen and Mr. Mikkelsen will be appointed as members of the compensation committee of our board of directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight 

 

Our board of directors recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the chief executive officer and chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. Currently, Mr. Jensen serves as the chairman of our board of directors and Mr. Bench services as our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer. We have no policy requiring the combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This has allowed, and will continue to allow, our board of directors the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for our Company at any given time.

 

Immediately following the completion of the merger, the size of our management team will be increased in order to manage our expanded operations, risks and resources. It is anticipated that Mr. Jensen will continue to serve as the board chairman until such time as the board elects a new chairman.

 

Our current directors are involved in the general oversight of risks that could affect our Company and the proposed directors will continue to evaluate our leadership structure and modify such structure as appropriate based on our Company's size, resources and operations.

 

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may communicate with any and all members of our board of directors by mailing correspondence to:

BayHill Capital Corporation

Attn: Corporate Secretary

25 East 200 South

Lehi, Utah 84043

 

Stockholders should clearly specify in each communication the name of the individual director or group of directors to whom the communication is directed and that the communication is from a stockholder. Stockholder communications received by our corporate secretary will be promptly forwarded to the specified director or group of directors, as appropriate. Communications that are abusive, in bad taste or that present safety or security concerns may be handled differently. We generally will not forward to a director or group of directors a stockholder communication that requests general information about our Company that can be handled by our administrative personnel.

(5)  We recorded the compensation to Mr. Bench at the then fair market value of unregistered shares.

We have not had any formal policy for determining the compensation of executive officers. We have never maintained any plans that provide for the payment of retirement benefits or benefits that will be paid primarily following retirement, including, but not limited to, tax qualified deferred benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, tax-qualified deferred contribution plans and nonqualified deferred contribution plans. Similarly, we have no contracts, agreements, plans or arrangements, that provide for payments to our executive officers or any other person following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of our executive officer, or a change in control of us or a change in our named executive officers’ responsibilities following a change in control.

 

At a special meeting of our stockholders held on March 31, 2008, our stockholders approved a proposal to adopt our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan which became effective on April 23, 2008 and will continue until April 23, 2018 unless earlier terminated. Our, and any of our subsidiaries’, directors, employees, consultants and advisors are eligible to receive awards under our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. The plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. A maximum of 300,000 shares of our common stock are available for issuance under our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. The merger agreement calls for an increase in the number of shares set aside for the Plan to 3,300,000. Majority shareholder approval of this increase has been given as described above. No decision has been made concerning the use of shares under the Plan.

 

The following types of awards are available under the plan: (i) stock options; (ii) stock appreciation rights; (iii) restricted stock; (iv) restricted stock units; and (v) performance awards. Our Board of Directors may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2011, we had made no awards under our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. We expect that the Compensation Committee of the board of directors will authorize issuance of options and other awards under the Plan from time to time is a manner intended to attract, hold and reward employees, executives and other eligible optionees for performance that builds long term success of the Company and that enhances the long term value of the holdings of our stockholders. No decision has been made as to the identity or amounts of any award under the Plan.

 

We previously established the 2001 Incentive and Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 12,500 shares of our common stock. This Plan expired at the end of 2011. We did not grant any stock options during the years ended June 30, 2011 or 2010. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010 there were no stock options outstanding under this Plan.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors to file reports concerning their ownership of our common stock with the SEC and to furnish us with copies of such reports. Based solely upon our review of the reports required by Section 16 and amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that all reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the annual reporting period of July 1, 2010 through December 31, 2011, were filed with the SEC on a timely basis.

 

RESTRICTIONS ON SALE OF SHARES ACQUIRED FROM THE COMPANY IN A PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

BayHill has been considered a “shell company” as defined by the SEC since September 2010. As such, Rule 144 has not been available for those shareholders wishing to sell their restricted securities. SEC rules require that the Company file current information about the merged company promptly after the closing of the merger transaction. The Company is evaluating the alternative of using the customary so-called “Super 8-K” to satisfy that filing requirement. Management is also considering the alternative of filing a Form S-1 registration statement covering resale by the Company’s shareholders who hold restricted securities. In whatever manner the Company satisfies its filing requirement; the information will contain a description of the business to be conducted by the Company following the merger and audited and pro-forma financial statements.

 

If the Super 8-K is used, shareholders who purchased in a private placement may be required to wait one year before their shares will be tradable under Rule 144. On the other hand, if the Company files a Form S-1 registration statement, the SEC must first review the registration statement before it can “go effective.” If and when the registration statement is effective the shareholders for whom the registration statement applies will be allowed to freely trade their shares through brokers and using customary methods.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics outlines our policy with respect to related party transactions. Employees are required to notify their supervisors of any business relationship or proposed transaction BayHill may have with any company in which such employee or a related party to such employee has a direct or indirect interest or from which such employee or a related party to such employee may derive a benefit, or where a related party member is employed, if such relationship or transaction might give rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest. Such conflict of interest is

generally deemed not to exist if the interest of the employee or related party exists solely as a result of one’s ownership of less than one percent of the outstanding publicly traded equity securities of such company.

During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 we accrued fees for legal services from ClearWater Law & Governance Group, LLC, of $36,000 and $32,000, respectively.
