Introduction
On
February 12, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Purchase and Exchange
Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Glory Reach International Limited, a
Hong Kong limited company (“Glory Reach”), its shareholders (“Glory Reach
Shareholders”), Greenwich Holdings LLC, and Glory Reach’s wholly owned
subsidiary Hongguan Shoes Co., Ltd., a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”)
limited company (“Qingdao Shoes”). Pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares (the “Interests”)
of Glory Reach from the Glory Reach Shareholders; and the Glory Reach
Shareholders transferred and contributed all of their Interests to us. In
exchange, we issued to the Glory Reach Shareholders, their designees or assigns,
10,000 shares of our Series A Preferred stock, which constituted 97% of our
issued and outstanding capital stock on an as-converted to common stock basis as
of and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange
Transaction”). Therefore, Glory Reach became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The Share Exchange resulted in a change in control of
the Company.
On March
1, 2010, Swift Dynamic Limited (“Swift Dynamic”), being the record holder of
6,495 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, constituting 63.0% of
the voting power of our issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and
Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.
For
additional information concerning the transactions relating to the reverse
merger, the related transactions and the current operating business of the
Company, see the information contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the SEC on February 12, 2010 (“Current Report”).
Set forth
below is our corporate structure:
Change
in Control
On
February 12, 2010 Craig H. Burton, our former President and current Director,
Joseph J. Passalaqua, our former Secretary and current Director, and Joseph
Meuse, our Director, submitted a resignation letter pursuant to which they
resigned from all offices that they held effective immediately and from their
position as our directors that will become effective on the tenth day following
the mailing by us of a Schedule 14f-1 Information Statement. In
addition, our board of directors on February 12 appointed Tao Wang (Chairman),
Renwei Ma and Lanhai Sun to fill the vacancies created by such increase, which
appointments will become effective upon the effectiveness of the resignation of
Craig H. Burton, Joseph J. Passalaqua, and Joseph Meuse on the tenth day
following the mailing by us of a Schedule 14f-1 Information
Statement.
On March
5, 2010, we filed an Information Statement on Schedule 14F with the SEC relating
to a potential change in control of our board of directors containing the
information required under Rule 14f-1 of the Exchange Act.
AUTHORIZATION
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS
Under the
Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can
be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a
meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding
stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that will be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing. The approval
of the Amendment requires the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority
of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and
Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. Each Stockholder is
entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock and 26,190 votes per share of
Series A Preferred Stock held of record on any matter which may properly come
before the stockholders.
On the
Record Date, the Company had 8,100,000 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share
and 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock with the holders thereof being
entitled to cast 26,190 votes per share.
On March
1, 2010, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions approving the
Amendment and recommended that our stockholders approve the Amendment as set
forth in Appendix
A. In connection with the adoption of these resolutions, our Board of
Directors elected to seek the written consent of the holders of a majority of
our outstanding shares in order to reduce associated costs and implement the
proposals in a timely manner.
Our Board
of Directors has determined that the change of our name to “Qingdao Footwear,
Inc.” is in the best interest of our stockholders and will more accurately
reflect, and allow us to engage in, our business operations as described in our
Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2010.
The
Reverse Split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of our
Common Stock outstanding prior to the split and increase the total number of
issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock subsequent to the split by
triggering the automatic conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock into
9,700,000 shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Split has been implemented to
facilitate the automatic conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock and provide
us with greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure for such
purposes as additional equity financings and future stock based
acquisitions.
CONSENTING
STOCKHOLDERS
On March
1, 2010, Swift Dynamic, being the record holder of 6,495 shares of our Series A
Preferred Stock, constituting 63.0% of the voting power of the issued and
outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, voting
together as a single class consented in writing to the Amendment.
Accordingly,
we have obtained all necessary corporate approvals in connection with the
Amendment. We are not seeking written consent from any other stockholder, and
the other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to
the actions described in this Information Statement. All necessary corporate
approvals have been obtained. This Information Statement is furnished solely for
the purposes of advising stockholders of the action taken by written consent and
giving stockholders notice of such actions taken as required by the Exchange
Act.
As the
actions taken by the majority stockholder were by written consent, there will be
no security holders’ meeting and representatives of the principal accountants
for the current year and for the most recently completed fiscal year will not
have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will not be
available to respond to appropriate questions from our
stockholders.
We will,
when permissible following the expiration of the 20 day period mandated by Rule
14c of the Exchange Act and the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, file the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office. The
Amendment will become effective upon such filing and we anticipate that such
filing will occur approximately 20 days after this Information Statement is
first mailed to our stockholders.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S CAPITAL
STOCK
Common
Stock
We are
authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001
per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder
thereof to one vote per share on all matters. Our bylaws provide that any
vacancy occurring in the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the
board of directors. Shareholders do not have preemptive rights to purchase
shares in any future issuance of our common stock.
The
holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to dividends out of funds
legally available when and as declared by our board of directors. Our board of
directors does not anticipate declaring a dividend in the foreseeable future.
Should we decide in the future to pay dividends, as a holding company, our
ability to do so and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of
dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiary and other holdings and
investments. In addition, our operating subsidiary in the PRC, from time to
time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to
us, including as a result of restrictive covenants in loan agreements,
restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard
currency and other regulatory restrictions. In the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive,
ratably, the net assets available to shareholders after payment of all
creditors.
All of
the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock are duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that additional
shares of our common stock are issued, the relative interests of existing
shareholders will be diluted.
As
February 12, 2010, we had a total of 8,100,000 shares of common stock
outstanding.
Preferred
Stock
We are
authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value
$0.0001 per share, in one or more classes or series within a class as may be
determined by our board of directors, who may establish, from time to time, the
number of shares to be included in each class or series, may fix the
designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or
series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Any
preferred stock so issued by the board of directors may rank senior to the
common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both. Moreover, while providing
desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other
corporate purposes, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock
or the existence of the unissued preferred stock might tend to discourage or
render more difficult a merger or other change of control.
Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock
In
accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation, our Board of Directors
unanimously approved the filing of a Certificate of Designation designating and
authorizing the issuance of up to 10,000 shares of our Series A Preferred
Stock. The Certificate of Designation was filed on February 11,
2010.
Shares of
Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock
on the basis of one share of Series A Preferred Stock for 970 shares of common
stock immediately subsequent to the effectiveness of a planned 1-for-27 reverse
split of our outstanding common stock, which will become effective on the
Effective Date (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Upon the reverse split
the 10,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically
convert into 9,700,000 shares of common stock, which will constitute 97% of the
outstanding common stock of Datone subsequent to the Reverse Stock
Split.
Holders
of Series A Preferred Stock vote with the holders of common stock on all matters
on an as-converted to common stock basis, based on an assumed post 1-for-27
reverse split (to retroactively take into account the Reverse Stock
Split).
The
holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters
together with all other classes of stock. Holders of Series A
Preferred Stock have protective class voting veto rights on certain matters,
such as increasing the authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock and
modifying the rights of Series A Preferred Stock.
Following
the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split and conversion of Series A
Preferred Stock into common stock, there will be approximately 10,000,000 shares
of our common stock issued and outstanding.
At the
close of business on the Record Date, we had 8,100,000 shares of Common Stock
and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding.
AMENDMENT
TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
On March
1, 2010, our Board of Directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of
the holders of a majority of our outstanding capital stock, an amendment to our
Certificate of Incorporation, which amends our current Certificate of
Incorporation to, among other things, (i) change our name to “Qingdao Footwear,
Inc.” to more accurately reflect our business operations, and (ii) effect a
1-for-27 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding Common
Stock. The majority shareholder Swift Dynamic approved the Amendment
pursuant to a Written Consent dated as of March 1, 2010. The proposed Amendment
is attached hereto as Appendix A.
The
Amendment has been adopted to provide us with greater flexibility with respect
to our capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financings and
future stock based acquisitions, and to facilitate the conversion of our Series
A Preferred Stock previously issued in the Exchange Transaction, which
is generally described in the following paragraphs.
On
February 12, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share
exchange with Glory Reach and its shareholders, or the Shareholders, whereby we
acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Glory Reach in
exchange for 10,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which
constituted 97% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on an as-converted
to common stock basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the
reverse acquisition. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Glory Reach became
our wholly-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Glory Reach became
our controlling stockholders. The share exchange transaction with
Glory Reach was treated as a reverse acquisition, with Glory Reach as the
acquirer and Datone, Inc. as the acquired party.
Immediately
following closing of the reverse acquisition of Glory Reach, one Shareholder
transferred 337 of the 874 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock issued to him under the share exchange to certain persons who
provided services to Glory Reach’s subsidiaries, pursuant to share
allocation agreements that the Shareholder entered into with such service
providers.
Upon the
closing of the reverse acquisition, Craig H. Burton, our President and Director,
Joseph J. Passalaqua, our Secretary and Director, and Joseph Meuse, our
Director, submitted a resignation letter pursuant to which they resigned from
all offices that they held effective immediately and from
their position as our directors that will become effective on the
tenth day following the mailing by us of an information statement to our
stockholders that complies with the requirements of Section 14f-1 of the
Exchange Act. In addition, our board of directors on February 12
appointed Tao Wang (Chairman), Renwei Ma and Lanhai Sun to fill the vacancies
created by such resignations, which appointments will become effective upon the
effectiveness of the resignation of Craig H. Burton, Joseph J. Passalaqua, and
Joseph Meuse on the tenth day following the mailing by us of an information
statement to our stockholders that complies with the requirements of
Section 14f-1 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our executive
officers were replaced by Qingdao Shoes’ executive officers upon the closing of
the reverse acquisition.
As a
result of our acquisition of Glory Reach, we now own all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Glory Reach, which in turn owns all of the
outstanding capital stock of Qingdao Shoes.
Immediately
following the acquisition of Glory Reach, under an Agreement of Conveyance,
Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the “Conveyance
Agreement”), we transferred all of our pre-acquisition assets and liabilities to
our wholly-owned subsidiary, DT Communications, Inc.
Additional
information regarding the Share Exchange Transaction is contained in our Current
Report.
1.
Name
Change
Our
current Certificate of Incorporation states that the name of the Company is
“Datone, Inc.”
Our Board
of Directors unanimously approved, subject to stockholder approval, the
Amendment to change our name from “Datone, Inc.” to “Qingdao Footwear,
Inc.”
Stockholder
approval for the Amendment changing our name was obtained by Written Consent of
stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of our issued and
outstanding Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a
single class, as of the Record Date. The Amendment effecting the name change
will become effective following filing with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware, which will occur promptly following the 20th day after the mailing
of this Information Statement to our stockholders as of the Record
Date.
Purposes
for Name Change
Following
the change of control of our Company and reverse acquisition of New Resources
effected by the Share Exchange Transaction, our Board of Directors has
determined that the change of our name to “Qingdao Footwear, Inc.” is in the
best interest of our stockholders and will more accurately reflect, and allow us
to engage in, our new business operations as described in our Current
Report.
2.
Adoption of 1-for-27
Reverse Stock Split
Our Board
of Directors unanimously approved, subject to Stockholder approval, the 1-for-27
Reverse Split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock, which will be
effectuated in conjunction with the adoption of the Amendment. The majority
shareholder Swift Dynamic also approved this action in the Written
Consent.
The
Reverse Split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of our
Common Stock outstanding prior to the split. The Reverse Split increases the
total number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock subsequent to
the split by triggering the automatic conversion of our Series A Preferred Stock
into 9,700,000 shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Split will become effective
on the Effective Date which occurs when the Amendment are filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware following the expiration of the 20
day period mandated by Rule 14c of the Exchange Act. We currently have no plans,
agreements, proposals, arrangements, or understandings for the issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock for any purpose, including future acquisitions
or financing transactions. We may consider issuing additional shares in the
future, but at this time we have no definite plans in this
regard.
On the
Effective Date, 27 shares of Common Stock will automatically be combined and
changed into one share of Common Stock. The table below sets forth, as of the
Record Date and as of the Effective Date, the following information both before
and after the proposed Reverse Split and assumes the conversion of all shares of
Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the applicable
conversion ratios:

shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock can be

Purposes
for Reverse Split and Effects on Common Stock
As shown
in the table above, the Reverse Split will trigger the automatic conversion of
our Series A Preferred Stock into 9,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
and increase the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common
Stock. The pre-split holders of our common stock will hold 300,000
shares of common stock subsequent to the Reverse Split. The Reverse
Split has been implemented to facilitate the automatic conversion of our Series
A Preferred Stock and provide us with greater flexibility with respect to our
capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financings and future
stock based acquisitions.
Unless
the Reverse Split is effected, the Company’s capital structure will continue to
include a supermajority voting class of preferred stock and our Board of
Directors believe that it is in the best interest of the Company to solely have
common stock outstanding at this time to provide us with greater flexibility
with respect to our capital structure for such purposes as additional equity
financings and future stock based acquisitions.
On the
Effective Date, 27 shares of Common Stock will automatically be combined and
changed into one share of Common Stock. No additional action on our part or any
stockholder will be required in order to effect the Reverse Split.
No
fractional shares of post-Reverse Split Common Stock will be issued to any
stockholder. Accordingly, stockholders of record who would otherwise be entitled
to receive fractional shares of post-Reverse Split Common Stock, will, if they
hold a fractional share, a full share of our Common Stock.
We will
obtain a new CUSIP number for our Common Stock at the time of the Reverse Split.
Following the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, every 27 shares of Common
Stock presently outstanding, without any action on the part of the stockholder,
will represent one share of Common Stock. Subject to the provisions for
elimination of fractional shares, as described above, consummation of the
Reverse Split will not result in a change in the relative equity position or
voting power of the holders of Common Stock.
There are
no arrears in dividends or defaults in principal or interest in respect to the
securities which are to be exchanged.
Federal
Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
The
combination of 27 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock into one share of
post-Reverse Split Common Stock should be a tax-free transaction under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the holding period and tax basis
of the pre-Reverse Split Common Stock will be transferred to the post-Reverse
Split Common Stock.
This
discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax
consequences of the Reverse Split may not be the same for all stockholders.
Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors to know their individual
Federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.
Distribution
and Costs
We will
pay the cost of preparing, printing and distributing this Information
Statement.
Absence of Dissenters’ Rights of
Appraisal
Neither
the adoption by the board of directors, nor the approval by the majority
shareholder of the reverse split or the name change provides stockholders any
right to dissent and obtain appraisal of or payment for such shareholder's
shares under Section 262 of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or the
bylaws.
Potential
Anti-takeover Effects of Amendment
Release
No. 34-15230 of the staff of the SEC requires disclosure and discussion of the
effects of any stockholder proposal that may be used as an anti-takeover device.
The Reverse Split could have an anti-takeover effect because the authorized
shares are not being reduced by the reverse stock split, in that additional
shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or
more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company
more difficult then if the authorized shares were also reduced by a reverse
stock split. For example, we could issue additional shares so as to dilute the
stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the
Company. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain
persons allied with our management could have the effect of making it more
difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or
voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. However, the Reverse
Split has been effected for the primary purpose of facilitating the conversion
of the Series A Preferred Stock, as well as to provide us with greater
flexibility with respect to our capital structure for such purposes as
additional equity financings and future stock based acquisitions, and not to
construct or enable any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on behalf of the
Company. Although the remainder of significant amounts of authorized shares of
common stock could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect,
the Reverse Split proposal is not being undertaken in response to any effort of
which our Board of Directors is aware to accumulate shares of our Common Stock
or obtain control of the Company.
Other
than this proposal, our Board of Directors does not currently contemplate the
adoption of any other amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation that could
be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change the
control of the Company.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that may have
anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party
from acquiring control of the Company or changing its board of directors and
management. According to our Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation, neither
the holders of the Company’s common stock nor the holders of the Company’s
preferred stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors.
The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant
portion of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and lack of
cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace the
Company’s board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of the
Company by replacing its board of directors. In addition, our Board
of Directors may issue, without further stockholder approval, up to 10,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, in one or more classes
or series within a class. Any Preferred Stock issued in the future may rank
senior to our Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends or amounts
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, or both. In addition, any
such shares of Preferred Stock may have class or series voting rights. The
issuance of Preferred Stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection
with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect
of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a
third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting
stock.
SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS
AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth, as of February 12, 2010, certain information with
respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock, by (i) any person or
group with more than 5% of any class of voting securities, (ii) each director,
(iii) our chief executive officer and each other executive officer whose cash
compensation for the most recent fiscal year exceeded $100,000 and (iv) all
executive officers and directors as a group. The table reflects the ownership of
our equity securities by the foregoing parties before and after the 1 for 27
reverse stock split which will occur on the filing of a Certificate of Amendment
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which filing will be made
no earlier than 20 days after the date the Information Statement on Schedule 14C
is first mailed to the our stockholders. Unless otherwise specified, the address
of each of the persons set forth below is in care of the Company, 269 First
Huashan Road, Jimo City, Qingdao, Shandong, China. Except as indicated in
the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws,
the persons named in the table to our knowledge have sole voting and investment
