PRELIMINARY INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY,

AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement is furnished to the stockholders of JPX Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in connection with action taken by our board of directors and the holders of a majority in interest of our voting capital stock to effect An amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation (the “Restatement”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. The foregoing actions have been ratified by the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of our voting capital stock, consisting of our outstanding common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock as well as our board of directors, by written consent. We anticipate that a copy of this Preliminary Information Statement will be mailed to our shareholders as of the date hereof. We have attached a copy of the Restatement to this Information Statement for your reference.

 

RECORD DATE, VOTE REQUIRED AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

If the Restatement were not adopted by majority written consent, it would have been required to be considered by our stockholders at a special stockholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the Restatement. The elimination of the need for a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Restatement is made possible by Section 78.320 of Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such a special meeting. Pursuant to the NRS, a majority in interest of our capital stock entitled to vote thereon is required in order to approve the Restatement. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interests of all of our shareholders that the Restatement be adopted by majority written consent and this Information Statement to be mailed to all stockholders as notice of the action taken.

 

The record date for purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of our voting capital stock, and for determining stockholders entitled to vote, is the close of business on August 22, 2017 (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, we had outstanding:

 

(i)226,043,596 shares of common stock; and
(ii)1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are collectively entitled to 4 times the aggregate votes of all other classes of capital stock of the Company, and may vote with holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters which common stockholders may vote; and
(iii)10,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which are entitled to ten votes per share, and may vote with holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters which common stockholders may vote.

 

The transfer agent for our common stock is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 6725 Via Austi Pkwy, Suite 300 Las Vegas, NV 89119.

NO MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS REQUIRED

 

We are not soliciting any votes in connection with the Restatement. The persons that have consented to the Restatement hold a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting rights and, accordingly, such persons have sufficient voting rights to approve the Restatement.

 

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

We are amending and restating our Articles of Incorporation solely for the purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock to one billion five hundred million.

 

These changes to our Articles of Incorporation will enable the Company’s board of directors, without further authorization from shareholders, to issue up to one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) shares of common stock and up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock having such rights, privileges, and preferences as determined by the board of directors, for consideration deemed adequate in exchange for such shares. We have attached a copy of the Restatement to this Information Statement.

 

PLANS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUANCE OF ANY NEWLY AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

We have discussed the possibility of issuing shares of common stock of the Company as a stock dividend, remuneration for management services, debt settlement, and incentive plans for new employees. We do not have any agreements, arrangements, or understandings yet with respect to any further issuances of shares of common stock, but it is likely that we will issue more common stock up to the amount of common stock authorized by our Articles of Incorporation. Any material common stock issuances will be disclosed in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of each of our directors and executive officers, and each person known to us to beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and our executive officers and directors as a group, as of August 22, 2017. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that each beneficial owner set forth in the table has sole voting and investment power and has the same address as us. Our address is 11650 South State Street, Suite 240, Draper, Utah 84020. As of August 30, 2017, we had (i) 226,043,596 shares of common stock, 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. While each share of common stock holds one vote, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are collectively entitled to 4 times the aggregate votes of all other classes of capital stock of the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. The following table describes the ownership of our voting securities (ii) by each of our officers and directors, (iii) all of our officers and directors as a group, and (iv) each person known to us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock or any shares of our preferred stock. .

(2)     The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by any shareholder is determined by the sum of (i) all shares of common stock held directly or indirectly by such shareholder, and (ii) shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and/or conversion rights deemed beneficially owned by the shareholder that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

 

(3)     The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon: (i) 226,043,596 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of August 30, 2017, and (ii) shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and/or conversion rights deemed beneficially held by the shareholder that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. The percentage ownership of any shareholder is determined by assuming that the shareholder has exercised all options, warrants, and conversion rights to obtain additional securities, and that no other shareholder has exercised such rights. Except as otherwise indicated below, the persons and entity named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock and voting rights shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Excludes 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Hovendick which have super-voting rights of 4 times the aggregate votes of all other classes of capital stock of the Company, and may vote with holders of the Company’s common stock on all matters which common stockholders may vote, but have no conversion, dividend, and liquidation rights. If the votes of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock were taken into account, Mr. Hovendick would beneficially hold 87.74% of the voting securities of the Company.

 

NO DISSENTER’S RIGHTS

 

Under the NRS, stockholders are not entitled to dissenter’s rights of appraisal with respect to the restatement of our Articles of Incorporation.
