Stockholders' Equity

8.       Stockholders’ Equity

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, with rights and privileges to be determined by the Board of Directors.  The Company is authorized to issue up to 400,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001.

On October 20, 2011, the Board authorized a series C of the Company’s previously authorized preferred stock and designated a par value per share of $0.001 (the “Series C Preferred”).  The number of shares of Series C Preferred was set at 51 shares, with no dividend rights and no liquidation rights. The shares were issued to two individuals, the Company’s Chief Executive officer and Chief Information Officer. Unless otherwise voted on by the disinterested members of the Board, the Company shall redeem all shares of Series C Preferred, in cash, for the aggregate amount of $1.00 on November 21, 2013. All shares of Series C Preferred rank senior to the Company’s (i) common stock, par value $0.001,  (ii) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, (iii) Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company creates, except for stock created (a) pari passu with any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created and specifically ranking, by its terms, on par with the Series C Preferred (the “Pari Passu Shares”) and (b) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Company hereafter created specifically ranking, by its terms, senior to the Series C Preferred (the “Senior Shares”), in each case as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary.

Each one (1) share of the Series C Preferred has voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator.

With respect to all matters upon which stockholders are entitled to vote or to which stockholders are entitled to give consent, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock without regard to class, except as to those matters on which separate class voting is required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws.

So long as any shares of Series C Preferred are outstanding, the Company shall not, without first obtaining the unanimous written consent of the holders of Series C Preferred, (i) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series C Preferred so as to affect adversely the holders of Series C Preferred or (ii) create Pari Passu Shares or Senior Shares.

On October 20, 2011, the Board approved a change in the authorized shares to 250,000,000 and a change in the par value of the common stock to $0.001 (together, the “Actions”).  On November 28, 2011, the Series C Preferred shareholders, representing 51% of the voting equity of the Company, approved each of the Actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting.  A certificate of amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, reflecting such Actions, was filed with the State of New York Department of State on January 23, 2012.

On August 21, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation with the State of New York to increase the Company’s authorized common stock from two hundred and fifty million (250,000,000) to four hundred million (400,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.
