REVERSE STOCK SPLITS

Effective on December 24, 2018, the Company, with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), affected a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s (a) authorized shares of common stock; and (b) issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split was affected pursuant to the filing of a Certificate of Change pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.209, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Additionally, pursuant to the authorization provided by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s February 19, 2019, annual meeting (pursuant to which the Company’s stockholders granted authority to the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to determine whether to proceed with a reverse stock split and, if the Board of Directors so determined, to select the reverse stock ratio, in a ratio of between 1-for-5 and 1-for-25), the Board of Directors approved, on July 1, 2018, a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, which went effective on July 8, 2019.

On October 28, 2019, the Company, with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of Nevada to affect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company’s (a) authorized shares of common stock (from 250,000,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares); and (b) issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split was effective on October 29, 2019. The effect of the reverse stock split was to combine every 50 shares of outstanding common stock into one new share, with a proportionate 1-for-50 reduction in the Company’s authorized shares of common stock, but with no change in the par value per share of the common stock. The result of the reverse stock split was to reduce, as of the effective date of the reverse stock split, the number of common stock shares outstanding from approximately 74.5 million shares to approximately 1.5 million shares (prior to rounding).

Effective on April 17, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase its authorized shares of common stock to 25 million shares of common stock.

Effective February 23, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase its authorized shares of common stock to 250 million shares of common stock.

The information and disclosures set forth in this proxy statement have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the prior reverse stock splits.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

General Questions and Answers

Q:	Who can vote at the meeting?

The Board set November 22, 2021, as the record date for the meeting. You can attend and vote at the meeting if you were a holder of our common stock or, Series C Preferred Stock, at the close of business on the record date, provided that the voting rights of the Series C Preferred Stock holders are subject to the beneficial ownership limitations set out in the Certificate of Designation(s), as amended, with respect to such shares of Series C Preferred Stock. On the record date, there were 250,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and 3,886 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The votes associated with such Series C Preferred Stock, given beneficial ownership limitations, total 62,421,895, resulting in an aggregate of 312,421,895 total voting shares at the meeting.

Table of Contents

Q:	What Proposals will be voted on at the meeting?

A:	Two Proposals are scheduled to be voted upon at the meeting:

●

To approve the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.

●

To consider and vote upon a Proposal to authorize our Board, in its discretion, to adjourn the Special Meeting to another place, or a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Proposals listed above at the time of the Special Meeting.

Q:	Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, on or about November 29, 2021, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners. All stockholders will have the ability, beginning on or about November 29, 2021, to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.

Q:	Can I vote my shares by filling out and returning the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials?

No. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials identifies the items to be voted on at the meeting, but you cannot vote by marking the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and returning it. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides instructions on how to vote via the Internet, by telephone or by requesting and returning a paper proxy card. You may also vote during the meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting.

Table of Contents

Q:	How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

A:	The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will provide you with instructions regarding how to:

●

View our proxy materials for the meeting on the Internet; and

●

Instruct us to send future proxy materials to you electronically by email.

Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of our meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Q:	How do I cast my vote?

For stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names, as an alternative to voting at the meeting, you may vote via the Internet, by fax, by telephone or, for those stockholders who request a paper proxy card in the mail, by mailing a completed proxy card. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides information on how to vote via the Internet, fax or by telephone or request a paper proxy card and vote by mail. Those stockholders who request a paper proxy card and elect to vote by mail should sign and return the mailed proxy card in the prepaid and addressed envelope that was enclosed with the proxy materials, and your shares will be voted at the meeting in the manner you direct. In the event that you return a signed proxy card on which no directions are specified, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board on all matters, and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to any other matters that may properly come before the meeting or any postponement or adjournment of the meeting.

If your shares are registered in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee (typically referred to as being held in “street name”), you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee that must be followed in order for your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares per your instructions. Many brokerage firms and banks have a process for their beneficial holders to provide instructions via the Internet, via fax or over the telephone. If Internet, fax or telephone voting is unavailable from your broker, bank or other nominee, please request a paper copy of the proxy and complete and return the voting instruction card in the addressed, postage paid envelope provided.

In the event you do not provide instructions on how to vote, your broker will not be able to vote your shares. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares that are held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Non-routine matters include the approval of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock and the approval to adjourn the meeting. Please instruct your broker regarding how to vote your shares on these matters promptly. See “Vote Required” following each Proposal for further information.

If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee and you plan to attend the special meeting, you must obtain your control number from such bank, broker, or other nominee, or contact Issuer Direct Corporation at (919) 481-4000, or 1-866-752-VOTE (8683) to obtain your control number, in order to be admitted and to vote at the meeting.

Q:	Can I revoke or change my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke or change a previously delivered proxy at any time before the meeting by delivering another proxy with a later date, by voting again via the Internet, fax or by telephone, or by delivering written notice of revocation of your proxy to our Secretary at our principal executive offices before the beginning of the meeting. You may also revoke your proxy by attending the meeting and voting at the meeting, although attendance at the meeting will not, in and of itself, revoke a valid proxy that was previously delivered. If you hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must contact that nominee to revoke any prior voting instructions. You also may revoke any prior voting instructions by voting at the meeting if you obtain a legal proxy as described above.

Q:	How does the Board recommend I vote on the Proposals?

A:	The Board recommends you vote “FOR” the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock, and “FOR” the approval to adjourn the meeting to a later date, as described above.

Q:	Who will count the vote?

A:	The inspector of election will count the vote.

Q:	What is a “quorum?”

A quorum is the number of shares that must be present to hold the meeting. The quorum requirement for the meeting is 33% of the outstanding voting shares as of the record date, present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum if you are present and vote in person (including virtually) at the meeting; or have voted on the Internet, by fax, by telephone or by properly submitting a proxy card or voting instruction card by mail. Abstentions and broker non-votes also count toward the quorum. An abstention will have the same practical effect as a vote against the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (which is non-binding), and the Proposal to approve the adjournment of the meeting, if necessary. “Broker non-votes” occur when brokers, banks or other nominees that hold shares on behalf of beneficial owners do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners prior to the meeting and do not have discretionary voting authority to vote those shares.

Table of Contents

Q:	What vote is required to approve each item?

A:	The following table sets forth the voting requirement with respect to each of the Proposals:

Proposal 1 – Approval of the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 1,000,000,000.		To be approved by stockholders, this Proposal must receive the affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding, and entitled to vote.

Proposal 2 –Approval to adjourn the Special Meeting to another place, or a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Proposal listed above at the time of the Special Meeting.		To be approved by stockholders, this Proposal must receive the affirmative “FOR” vote of the holders of a majority of shares represented at the meeting, in person (including virtually) or by proxy, and entitled to vote.

Q:	What does it mean if I get more than one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials?

A:	Your shares are probably registered in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for all Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, proxy and voting instruction cards you receive.

Q:	How many votes can I cast?

Holders of our common stock receive one vote for each share of common stock which they hold as of the Record Date. Holders of our Series C Preferred Stock have the right to vote on the Proposals described above subject to the beneficial ownership limitations set out in the Certificate of Designation(s), as amended, with respect to such shares of Series C Preferred Stock. On the record date, there were 250,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and 3,886 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The votes associated with such Series C Preferred Stock, given beneficial ownership limitations, total 62,421,895, resulting in an aggregate of 312,421,895 total voting shares at the meeting.

Q:	Where can I find the voting results of the meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the meeting. The final results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed by us with the SEC within four business days of the meeting.

Table of Contents

PROPOSAL 1

THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF OUR

AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 25,000,000 to 250,000,000

General

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), currently authorize the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of the proxy statement, 250,000,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, and no shares of common stock were available for future issuance. In order to ensure sufficient shares of common stock will be available for issuance by us, our Board has approved and has recommended that our stockholders approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares (the “Increase In Authorized Shares”).

We desire to authorize additional shares of common stock to ensure that enough shares will be available [a] for issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of currently outstanding Series C Preferred Stock, including, but not limited to, the shares issuable upon conversion of, including shares issuable for dividends, interest and conversion premiums thereon, and [b] in the event the Board determines that it is necessary or appropriate to (i) raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, (ii) provide equity incentives to employees and officers, or (iii) satisfy other corporate purposes. The availability of additional shares of common stock is particularly important in the event that the Board needs to undertake any of the foregoing actions on an expedited basis and thus to avoid the time and expense of seeking stockholder approval in connection with the contemplated issuance of common stock.

The increase in authorized common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, the Board will have the authority to issue authorized common stock without requiring future stockholder approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or the NYSE American, up to the increased amount of authorized shares (i.e., 1,000,000,000 shares). For example, the rules of the NYSE American require that we obtain stockholder approval prior to the issuance of shares of common stock in a private financing at a price less than the greater of the book value or market value of our common stock, where the total number of shares which may be issued pursuant to such transactions is 20% or more of the outstanding common stock prior to issuance.

To the extent that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, they may decrease the existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing stockholders. It is currently anticipated that a substantial portion of the additional 1,000,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued shares of common stock which will be made available through the increase in authorized shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the conversion of all or a portion of the 3,886 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, pursuant to the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock. The 3,886 outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are potentially convertible into approximately 498,564,677 shares of common stock, subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation and further adjustment as provided in the designation of such Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, future conversions of the Series C Preferred Stock would likely cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

The increased proportion of unissued authorized shares, compared to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, 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 our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for our combination with another company). However, the Amendment (defined below) 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 our Company, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to our Board and stockholders.

The holders of common stock have no preemptive rights, and the Board has no plans to grant such rights with respect to any such shares.

The form of the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the increase in authorized shares of common stock will be in substantially the form as attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A (the “Amendment”).

Stockholders should be aware that because we currently have no authorized but unissued shares of common stock remaining, the holders of our Series C Preferred Stock are currently prevented from converting shares of Series C Preferred Stock (and conversion premiums thereon) into our common stock. We calculate that the holders of Series C Preferred Stock are still due a significant number of shares of common stock upon conversion of the 3,886 currently outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock (when including conversion premiums thereon), which number of shares constitute a substantial portion or even exceed the increased number of shares of common stock which would be authorized assuming the Amendment is affected.

The Amendment will become effective on the date of effectiveness set forth in the Amendment when filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not have any definitive plans, agreements, or understandings with respect to the additional authorized shares that will become available for issuance after the Amendment has been implemented, except for shares of common stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Table of Contents

No Appraisal Rights

Under Nevada law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the increase to the number of authorized shares of common stock.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting shares entitled to vote at the meeting (including virtually) is required to approve this Proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as shares voted against this proposal. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as shares voted against this proposal. For the approval of this Proposal, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or abstain from voting.

Board Recommendation

Our Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the adoption of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock.

PROPOSAL 2

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING

Our stockholders may be asked to consider and act upon one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the other Proposal set forth in this Proxy Statement.

If a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, our stockholders may be asked to vote on the Proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies. If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, but there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the other Proposal set forth in this Proxy Statement, our stockholders may also be asked to vote on the Proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the other Proposal. However, a stockholder vote may be taken on the other Proposal in this Proxy Statement prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval on such Proposal.

If the adjournment Proposal is submitted for a vote at the Special Meeting, and if our stockholders vote to approve the adjournment Proposal, the meeting will be adjourned to enable the Board to solicit additional proxies in favor of the other Proposal. If the adjournment Proposal is approved, and the Special Meeting is adjourned, the Board will use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the other Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting, including the solicitation of proxies from stockholders that have previously voted against the relevant Proposal.

The Board believes that, if the number of voting shares voting in favor of any of the Proposals presented at the Special Meeting is insufficient to approve a Proposal, it is in the best interests of our stockholders to enable the Board, for a limited period of time, to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes in favor of the Proposal. Any signed proxies received by us in which no voting instructions are provided on such matter will be voted in favor of an adjournment in these circumstances. The time and place of the adjourned meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken. Any adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow our stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Special Meeting as adjourned or postponed.

Vote Required

The approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to another place, date or time, if deemed necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of the Board of Directors, requires the vote of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote which are present, in person (including virtually) or by proxy at the Special Meeting. As a result, abstentions will have the same practical effect as votes against this Proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal. For the approval of the adjournment, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or abstain from voting.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to another place, date or time, if deemed necessary or appropriate, in the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and/or investing power with respect to securities. These rules generally provide that shares of common stock subject to options, warrants or other convertible securities that are currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the Record Date, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person or group holding such options, warrants or other convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person or group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group.

To our knowledge, except as indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each of the officers or directors listed in the table below is 15915 Katy Freeway, Suite 450, Houston, Texas, 77094.
