The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Orbital Tracking Corp. (“Company” or “Orbital”) is asking for your proxy for use at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, to be held at 200 South Biscayne Blvd., Suite 3900, Miami Florida 33158 on November 3rd, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. local time, and at any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. As a shareholder, you are invited to attend the meeting and are entitled to and requested to vote on the items of business described in this proxy statement.

 

   
  

 

This proxy statement is furnished to shareholders of Orbital Tracking Corp., a Nevada corporation, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board for use at the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”).

 

Who is soliciting my vote?

 

The Board is soliciting your vote.

 

When were the enclosed solicitation materials first given to shareholders?

 

We initially mailed to shareholders of the Company this proxy statement and a proxy card on or about September 27, 2017.

 

What is the purpose of the meeting?

 

You will be voting on:

 

  1. Approval of a Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of not less than 1 for 300 and not more than 1 for 800, within the discretion of the Board of Directors, at any time prior to December 31, 2017; and
     
  2. Such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments.

 

What are the Board’s recommendations?

 

The Board recommends a vote:

 

“FOR” approval to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding at a ratio of not less than 1 for 300 and not more than 1 for 800, within the discretion of the Board of Directors, at any time prior to December 31, 2017.

 

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting, what is the “record date”, and how many votes do they have?

 

Holders of record of our voting capital stock at the close of business on September 12, 2017 (the “record date”) will be entitled to vote at the meeting. Each share of common stock has one vote. Additionally, holders of record of our voting classes of preferred stock are entitled to vote at the ratios set forth in the Certificate of Designation, as amended, for each such class of preferred stock.

 

There were 72,977,104 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date, September 12, 2017. Our shares of preferred stock outstanding, and their respective voting power, after application of conversion of voting limitations is 26,593,486 and is identified by class as follows:

 

   
  

 

Preferred Class  Outstanding Shares   Votes Available 
Series B   6,666    - 
Series C   3,540,365    7,841,267 
Series D   3,008,984    5,566,197 
Series E   7,202,877    4,636,885 
Series F   1,099,998    200,000 
Series G   10,083,351    1,833,335 
Series H   87,500    - 
Series I   92,944    545,623 
Series J   54,669    5,970,179 
Series K   1,166,652    - 
Totals   26,344,006    26,593,486 

 

What is a quorum of shareholders?

 

In order to carry on the business of the Special Meeting, a quorum must be present. If a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date are present, either in person or by proxy, we will have a quorum at the meeting. Any shares represented by proxies that are marked for, against, withhold, or abstain from voting on a proposal will be counted as present in determining whether we have a quorum. If a broker, bank, custodian, nominee, or other record holder of our common stock indicates on a proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular matter, and if it has not received instructions from the beneficial owners of such shares as to how to vote on such matters, the shares held by that record holder will not be voted on such matter (referred to as “broker non-votes”) but will be counted as present for purposes of determining whether we have a quorum. Since there were 72,977,104 shares of common stock outstanding and 26,593,486 votes available to holders of preferred stock, the presence of holders of 49,785,296 shares-worth of voting power will represent a quorum. The total voting power is 99,570,590 shareholder votes. We must have a quorum to conduct the meeting.

 

How many votes does it take to pass each matter?

 

Proposal 1: Approval to Implement a Reverse Stock Split

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes outstanding (49,785,296), as of the record date, September 12, 2017, is required to approve the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to implement a reverse stock split. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as a negative vote.

 

Who can attend the meeting?

 

All shareholders as of September 12, 2017, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting.

 

   
  

 

What do I need to attend the meeting?

 

In order to be admitted to the meeting, a shareholder must present proof of ownership of Common Stock or Preferred Stock as of the record date. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, custodian, nominee, or other record holder (“street name”), you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record (that is, your broker, bank, custodian, or nominee) to be able to vote at the meeting. You will also be required to present a form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license.

 

What is a proxy?

 

A proxy is another person you authorize to vote on your behalf. We ask shareholders to instruct the proxy how to vote so that all common shares and shares of Preferred Stock may be voted at the meeting even if the holders do not attend the meeting.

 

How are abstentions and broker non-votes treated?

 

Abstentions and broker non-votes count for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast either for or against the proposal being presented to shareholders and will have no impact on the result of the vote on this proposal.

 

How do I vote?

You may also attend the Special Meeting in person.

 

   
  

 

If you are a street name holder (meaning that your shares are held in a brokerage account by a bank, broker or other nominee), you may direct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares; however, you may not vote in person at the Special Meeting unless you have obtained a signed proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote your beneficially owned shares.

 

You must be present, or represented by proxy, at the meeting in order to vote your shares. You can submit your proxy by completing, signing, and dating your proxy card and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope.

 

YOUR PROXY CARD WILL BE VALID ONLY IF YOU COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE, AND RETURN IT BEFORE THE MEETING DATE.

 

How will my proxy vote my shares?

 

If your proxy card is properly completed and received, and if it is not revoked, before the meeting, your shares will be voted at the meeting according to the instructions indicated on your proxy card. If you sign and return your proxy card, but do not give any voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” approval to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio of not less than 1 for 300 and not more than 1 for 800, within the discretion of the Board of Directors, at any time prior to December 31, 2017;

 

To our knowledge, no other matters will be presented at the meeting. However, if any other matters of business are properly presented, the proxy holders named on the proxy card are authorized to vote the shares represented by proxies according to their judgment.

 

If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

 

If your shares are held in a brokerage account, you will receive from your broker a full meeting package including a voting instruction form to vote your shares. Your brokerage firm may permit you to provide voting instructions by telephone or by the internet. Brokerage firms have the authority to vote their clients’ unvoted shares. Therefore, if you do not vote on this proposal, your brokerage firm may choose to vote for you or leave your shares unvoted.

 

Therefore, if you do not vote on this proposal, your shares may remain unvoted on the proposal. We urge you to provide voting instructions to your brokerage firm so that your vote will be cast on this proposal.

 

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card or instruction form?

 

If you receive more than one proxy card or instruction form, it means that you have multiple accounts with our transfer agent and/or a broker or other nominee or fiduciary or you may hold your shares in different ways or in multiple names (e.g., joint tenancy, trusts, and custodial accounts). Please vote all of your shares.

 

   
  

 

How do I revoke my proxy and change my vote prior to the meeting?

 

If you are a registered shareholder (meaning your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent) you may change your vote at any time before voting takes place at the meeting. You may change your vote by:

 

1. Delivering another proxy card to EQUITY STOCK TRANSFER, 237 W 37TH ST, Suite 602 New York, NY 10018, ATTN: Shareholder Services, with a written notice dated later than the proxy you want to revoke stating that the proxy is revoked.

 

2. You may complete and send in another proxy card or voting instruction form with a later date.

 

3. You may attend the meeting and vote in person.

 

For shares you hold beneficially or in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee or fiduciary in accordance with that entity’s procedures, or if you obtained a legal proxy form giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person.

 

Who pays for the proxy solicitation and how will the Company solicit votes?

 

We will pay the costs of preparing, printing, and mailing the notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders, this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card. We will also reimburse brokerage firms and others for reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with their forwarding of proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners. The solicitation of proxies will be conducted primarily by mail, but may also include telephone, facsimile, or oral communications by directors, officers, or regular employees of the Company acting without special compensation.

 

We have retained, Alliance Advisors for proxy solicitation services for a fee of $6,000 plus out of pocket expenses.

 

Who should I call with questions?

 

If you have any questions or require assistance with voting please contact our proxy solicitation firm Alliance Advisors toll free at 1-833-501-4825.

PROPOSAL 1 - APPROVAL TO IMPLEMENT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT A RATIO WITHIN A RANGE OF 1 FOR 300 TO 1 FOR 800 AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO DECEMBER 31, 2017

 

General

 

The Board has approved and is seeking stockholder approval of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, to implement a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, at a ratio within the range of 1 for 300 to 1 for 800 at any time prior to December 31, 2017.

 

If this proposal is approved by our stockholders, the Board of Directors will have the authority, without further action on the part of the stockholders, to implement the reverse stock split at any ratio within the range set forth above. Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our common stock outstanding immediately after the reverse stock split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split. The proposed reverse stock split will not affect the number of shares of common stock authorized in the Articles of Incorporation, which is 750,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Because the number of shares of authorized common stock will not be affected, the effect of the proposed reverse stock split will be an increase in the authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock.

 

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

 

The primary reason for implementing a reverse stock split would be to increase the market price per share of our common stock. The Board of Directors believes that a higher price per share would better enable the Company to obtain listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

   
  

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the over-the-counter securities markets and is not listed on any exchange. There are a number of initial listing requirements that we must satisfy in order to achieve a listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), including a requirement that our common stock maintain a bid price per share of at least $4.00 (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). A reverse stock split is intended to help us to achieve and maintain the minimum bid price of the initial listing requirements of NASDAQ.

 

We also believe that the increased market price of our common stock expected as a result of implementing the reverse stock split will improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock and will encourage interest and trading in our common stock. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total stock value than would be the case if the stock price were substantially higher. It should be noted, however, that the liquidity of our common stock may in fact be adversely affected by the proposed reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split is implemented.

 

For the above reasons, we believe the reverse stock split is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split, if implemented, will have the desired effect of proportionately raising our common stock price over the long term, or at all. The effect of a reverse stock split upon the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar stock splits for companies in similar circumstances is varied. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the market price per share after the reverse stock split will exceed or remain in excess of the $4.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time. The market price of our common stock may vary based on other factors unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance. We also cannot assure you that our common stock will in fact be successfully listed on NASDAQ even if the reverse stock split is implemented.

 

Determination of Ratio

 

The ratio of the reverse stock split, if approved and implemented, will be a ratio of not less than 1 for 300 and not more than 1 for 800, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. In determining the reverse stock split ratio, the Board will consider numerous factors, including:

 

  the historical and projected performance of our common stock;
     
  prevailing market conditions;

 

   
  

 

  general economic and other related conditions prevailing in our industry and in the marketplace;
     
  the projected impact of the selected reverse stock split ratio on our ability to achieve the common stock’s listing on the NASDAQ;
     
  our capitalization (including the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding);
     
  the prevailing trading price for our common stock and the volume levels thereof; and
     
  potential devaluation of our market capitalization as a result of a reverse stock split.

 

The purpose of asking for authorization to implement the reverse stock split at a ratio to be determined by the Board, as opposed to a ratio fixed in advance, is to give the Board the flexibility to take into account then-current market conditions and changes in the price of our common stock and to respond to other developments that may be deemed relevant when considering the appropriate ratio.

 

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

 

Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding common stock immediately following the implementation of the reverse stock split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the reverse stock split. On September 12, 2017, we had 72,977,104 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 677,022,896 shares of common stock that were authorized but unissued.

 

After the reverse stock split is implemented, each stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of our common stock based on the exchange ratio selected by the Board. For example, if the Board decides to implement a 1 for 300 reverse stock split, then for every 300 shares of our common stock that a stockholder owns they will be combined and converted into a single share of our common stock. We estimate that following the implementation of the reverse stock split we would have approximately the same number of stockholders. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split, and all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole share. For convenience, all shareholders having less than one (1) whole share following the reverse split will be rounded up to one (1) share. Except for any changes as a result of the treatment of fractional shares, the completion of the reverse stock split alone would not reduce any stockholder’s proportionate ownership interest in the Company. The implementation of the reverse stock split may, however, increase the number of stockholders of the Company who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of our common stock. Odd lots may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of common stock.

 

Because the number of shares of authorized common stock will not be affected, the proposed reverse stock split will result in an increase in the authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock. The reverse stock split will not affect the par value of our common stock, which shall remain at $0.0001 per share, or the number of shares of preferred stock which the Company may issue, which shall remain at 50,000,000 shares. Our preferred stock is available for issuance from time to time for such purposes and consideration as the Board may approve in their discretion.

 

   
  

 

The table below illustrates the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance following the reverse stock split, the approximate number of shares of common stock that would remain outstanding following the reverse stock split, excluding adjustments for rounding. The information in the following table is based on 72,977,104 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 12, 2017.

 

Proposed Ratio  Number of Common Shares Authorized   Approximate Number of Common Shares
Outstanding
 
1 for 300   750,000,000    243,257 
1 for 400   750,000,000    182,443 
1 for 500   750,000,000    145,954 
1 for 600   750,000,000    121,629 
1 for 700   750,000,000    104,253 
1 for 800   750,000,000    91,221 

 

As reflected in the table above, the number of authorized shares of our common stock will not be reduced by the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the reverse Stock split will have the effect of creating additional unissued and unreserved shares of our common stock. We have no current arrangements or understandings providing for the issuance of any of the additional authorized and unreserved shares of our common stock that would be available as a result of the proposed reverse stock split. However, these additional shares may be used by us for various purposes in the future without further stockholder approval (subject to applicable Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, if applicable), including, among other things: (i) raising capital necessary to fund our future operations, (ii) providing equity incentives to our employees, executive officers, directors and consultants, (iii) entering into collaborations and other strategic relationships and (iv) expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses or products.

 

Although the Board expects that the reduction in outstanding shares of common stock will result in an increase in the per share price of the Company’s common stock, there is no assurance that such a result will occur. Similarly, there is no assurance that if the per share price of the Company’s common stock increases as a result of the reverse stock split, such increase in the per share price will be permanent, which will be dependent on several factors.

 

  Should the per share price of our common stock decline after implementation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split.
     
  The anticipated resulting increase in per share price of the Company’s common stock due to the reverse stock split is expected to encourage interest in the Company’s common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. However, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split.

 

   
  

 

  The reverse stock split could be viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, could lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. It is often the case that the reverse-split adjusted stock price and market capitalization of companies that effect a reverse stock split decline.
     
  One of the purposes for the proposed reverse stock split is to achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurance that, even after the reverse stock split, we will achieve initial listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Treatment of Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, all fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole share. For convenience, all shareholders having less than one (1) whole share following the reverse split will be rounded up to one (1) share.

 

Exchange of Stock Certificates

 

The combination of, and reduction in, the number of shares of our outstanding common stock as a result of the reverse stock split will occur automatically on the date that the reverse stock split is made effective by FINRA on the OTC Markets (the “Effective Date”) without any further action on the part of our stockholders and without regard to the date that stock certificates representing the outstanding shares of our common stock prior to the Effective Date are physically surrendered for new stock certificates.

 

As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, transmittal forms will be mailed to each holder of record of certificates for our common stock to be used in forwarding such certificates for surrender and exchange for certificates representing the number of shares of our common stock such stockholder is entitled to receive as a result of the reverse stock split. Our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of the stock certificates. The transmittal forms will be accompanied by instructions specifying other details of the exchange. Upon receipt of the transmittal form, each stockholder should surrender the certificates representing our common stock prior to the reverse stock split in accordance with the applicable instructions. Each holder who surrenders certificates will receive new certificates representing the whole number of shares of our common stock that he or she holds as a result of the reverse stock split. New certificates will not be issued to a stockholder until the stockholder has surrendered his or her outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed transmittal form to the exchange agent.

 

If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or financial institution, which is commonly referred to as your shares being held in “street name,” then you are the beneficial owner of those shares and the brokerage firm or financial institution holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record. We intend to treat stockholders holding common stock in street name in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the reverse stock split for their beneficial holders holding common stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the reverse stock split. If you hold your shares with a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your bank, broker or nominee.

 

   
  

 

Any stockholder whose certificate has been lost, destroyed or stolen will be entitled to a new certificate only after complying with the requirements that we and our transfer agent customarily apply in connection with replacing lost, stolen or destroyed certificates. No service charges, brokerage commissions or transfer taxes shall be payable by any holder of any old certificate, except that if any new certificate is to be issued in a name other than that in which the old certificate(s) are registered, it will be a condition of such issuance that (i) the person requesting such issuance must pay to us any applicable transfer taxes or establish to our satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable, (ii) the transfer complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (iii) the surrendered certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer.

 

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT THEIR STOCK CERTIFICATES UNTIL THEY RECEIVE A TRANSMITTAL FORM FROM OUR TRANSFER AGENT.

 

Accounting Consequences

 

The par value of our common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share after the reverse stock split. As a result, our stated capital, which consists of the par value per share of the common stock multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of the common stock issued and outstanding, will be reduced proportionately at the effective time of the reverse stock split. Correspondingly, our additional paid-in capital, which consists of the difference between our stated capital and the aggregate amount paid to us upon the issuance of all currently outstanding shares of common stock, will be increased by a number equal to the decrease in stated capital. Further, net loss per share, book value per share, net income and other per share amounts will be increased as a result of the reverse stock split because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect

 

Although in certain circumstances the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company and another company), the proposed reverse stock split is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or obtain control of the Company, and it is not part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions to the Board and stockholders. Other than seeking approval for the Board to effect the reverse stock split, the Board currently does not contemplate recommending the adoption of any other actions that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to effect a change control of the Company.

 

   
  

 

No Appraisal Rights

 

Under the Nevada law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to our proposed reverse stock split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

 

No Going Private Transaction

 

Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the implementation of the reverse stock split, the Board of Directors does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the implementation of the proposed reverse stock split will not cause the Company to go private.

 

Book-Entry Shares

 

If the reverse stock split is effected, stockholders who hold uncertificated shares (i.e. shares held in book entry form and not represented by a physical certificate), whether as direct or beneficial owners, will have their holdings electronically adjusted by our transfer agent (and for beneficial owners by their brokers or banks that hold the shares in street name for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the reverse stock split.

 

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

 

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split to holders of our common stock. It addresses only U.S. stockholders who hold the pre-reverse stock split common stock and post-reverse stock split common stock as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion does not purport to be a complete discussion of all of the possible

federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split and does not account for or consider the federal income tax consequences to stockholders in light of their individual investment circumstances or to stockholders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, including but not limited to:

 

  banks, financial institutions, thrifts, mutual funds or trusts;
     
  tax-exempt organizations;
     
  insurance companies;
     
  dealers in securities or foreign currency;
     
  real estate investment trusts, personal holding companies, regulated investment companies, or passive foreign investment companies;
     
  foreign or United States expatriate stockholders;
     
  stockholders who are not “United States persons,” as defined in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code;
     
  controlled foreign corporations;
     
  stockholders with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

 

   
  

 

  stockholders who hold the pre-reverse stock split common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale, conversion transaction, or other integrated investment;
     
  stockholders who hold the pre-reverse stock split common stock as “qualified small business stock” within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code;
     
  common trusts;
     
  traders, brokers, or dealers in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting;
     
  partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in such entities;
     
  stockholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code;
     
  stockholders who acquired their pre-reverse stock split common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options, through a tax-qualified retirement plan, or otherwise as compensation; or,
     
  holders of warrants or stock options.

 

In addition, this discussion does not address any tax considerations under state, local, gift, or foreign tax laws. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, legislative history, judicial decisions, and current administrative rulings and practices, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to differing interpretations. Any of these authorities could be repealed, overruled, or modified at any time. Any such change could be retroactive and, accordingly, could cause the tax consequences of the reverse stock split to vary substantially from the consequences described herein. Further, no ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or opinion of legal or tax counsel will be obtained with respect to the matters discussed herein, and there is no assurance or guarantee that the IRS would agree with the conclusions set forth in this summary. This information is not intended as tax advice to any person and may not be relied upon to avoid penalties.

 

STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, GIFT, OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS, AND ANY PENDING OR PROPOSED LEGISLATION OR AUTHORITY.

 

The reverse stock split is intended to constitute a “recapitalization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code. Certain filings with the IRS must be made by the Company and certain “significant holders” of our common stock in order for the reverse stock split to qualify as a recapitalization. The tax consequences discussed below assume that the reverse stock split is treated as a recapitalization and that the common stock is held by each stockholder as a capital asset:

 

  A stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss as a result of the reverse stock split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-reverse stock split common stock. A stockholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-reverse stock split common stock generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the cash received and the portion of the tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split common stock allocated to the fractional share interest. Subject to the limitations above, such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the pre-reverse stock split common stock was held for more than one year by the stockholder at the time of the reverse stock split. If a stockholder is an individual, such gain may also be subject to an additional 3.8% Medicare tax if such stockholder attains certain income thresholds.

 

   
  

 

  A stockholder’s aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split common stock received in the reverse stock split will generally be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split common stock exchanged therefore (excluding any portion of the stockholder’s tax basis allocated to fractional share interests).
     
  A stockholder’s holding period for the common stock held post-reverse stock split will include the holding period of the pre-reverse stock split common stock exchanged.
     
  No gain or loss for federal income tax purposes will be recognized by the Company as a result of the reverse stock split.

 

Information returns generally will be required to be filed with the IRS with respect to the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of our common stock pursuant to the reverse stock split. In addition, stockholders may be subject to backup withholding (at the current applicable rate of 28%) on the payment of such cash if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers in the manner required. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally may be refunded or allowed as a credit against the stockholder’s federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

The foregoing discussion is intended only as a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split.

 

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR THEREOF UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

 

   
  

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following tables sets forth, as of September 12, 2017, the number of and percent of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by: (1) all directors and nominees, naming them; (2) our executive officers; (3) our directors and executive officers as a group, without naming them; and (4) persons or groups known by us to own beneficially 5% or more of our voting securities.

 

A person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by him within 60 days from September 12, 2017 upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities. Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by him, but not those held by any other person, and which are exercisable within 60 days of September 12, 2017 have been exercised and converted.

(1) In determining the voting power held by a person or entity on, the percentage of total voting power represents voting power with respect to all shares of our common stock and preferred stock, as a single class. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share, holders of our Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote per share, holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to 10 votes per share, holders of our Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to 20 votes per share, holders of our Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to 10 votes per share, holders of our Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote per share, holders of our Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote per share, holders of our Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to 100 votes per share, holders of our Series I Preferred Stock are entitled to 100 votes per share, holders of our Series J Preferred Stock are entitled to 1,000 votes per share and holders of our Series K Preferred Stock are entitled to 100 votes per share. The voting power enjoyed by each holder of Preferred Stock is limited by the conversion rights accruing to each class of preferred stock.  As a result, holders of preferred stock, when voting their shares of preferred stock, may cast a maximum of either 4.99% or 9.99% of the total available shareholder votes, depending on the provisions governing the conversion rights of their specific class(es) of preferred stock.  Holders of preferred stock who also hold in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99%, as applicable) of our common stock, however, may vote all of their shares of common stock and cast no votes under their shares of preferred stock. Shares of common stock which may be acquired within 60 days upon exercise of warrants or options or conversion of promissory notes were not included in calculating the voting power.
