GENERAL
DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATE ACTION
On March
30, 2010, our Board of Directors unanimously authorized an amendment to our
Certificate of Incorporation (the ‘‘Amendment’’), subject
to stockholder approval, to effect a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of all issued
and outstanding shares of our common stock at a reverse stock split ratio
of 1-for-2 (the “Reverse Stock
Split”). On March 30, 2010, the holders of a majority of
our outstanding voting capital stock delivered an executed written consent of
stockholders authorizing and approving the Amendment and the Reverse Stock
Split. Our Board of Directors has the discretion to elect, as it
determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, to
implement or abandon the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split
is expected to be implemented prior to the closing of the public offering of our
common stock described below under “The Purpose of the Reverse Stock
Split.”
VOTING
AND VOTE REQUIRED
Section
228 of the DGCL 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 a meeting. Approval by at least a majority of the outstanding
voting power of our shares of voting capital present and voting on the matter at
a meeting would be required to approve the Amendment and Reverse Stock
Split.
On March
30, 2010, we had a total of 19,787,388 voting shares of capital stock
outstanding, which consists of 19,787,388 shares of common stock. Each
common stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held
by such stockholder. On March 30, 2010, the following stockholders holding an
aggregate of 14,195,496 shares of stock, or 71.7%, of all eligible votes,
delivered an executed written consent authorizing the Amendment and the Reverse
Stock Split.

Accordingly,
the written consent executed by the stockholders satisfies the stockholder
approval requirement for authorization of the Amendment and Reverse Stock
Split. In an effort to minimize the Company's expenses, a special
meeting of the stockholders is not required and will not be held because
stockholders holding a majority of the eligible votes are in favor of the
action.

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO
OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT A 1-FOR-2 REVERSE
STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK
OVERVIEW
The Board
of Directors has adopted and the stockholders have approved by written consent
an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-2 reverse
stock split of all our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, as
determined in the sole discretion of our Board of Directors (the “Reverse Stock
Split”). To effect the Reverse Stock Split, we would file an amendment to
the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of
Delaware. The Board expects to implement the Reverse Stock Split
prior to the closing of the public offering described below.
Upon the
effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding
shares of our common stock will be reduced in accordance with the approved
1-for-2 exchange ratio for the Reverse Stock Split.
When and
if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, each holder of common stock will
receive one share of common stock for every two shares of common stock held
immediately prior to effecting the Reverse Stock Split, and then rounding up to
the nearest whole share, and that the Company will not pay cash to any
stockholder in respect of any fractional interest in a share resulting from the
Reverse Stock Split. The par value and number of authorized shares of
the common stock will remain unchanged.
The Board
of Directors will effect the Reverse Stock Split by filing the amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State, which will
occur no sooner than 20 calendar days after the date this information statement
has been mailed to stockholders. A form of the amendment to the
Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix
A. No further action on the part of stockholders is required
to authorize or effect the Reverse Stock Split.
THE
PURPOSE OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On
February 16, 2010, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) a
registration statement on Form S-1, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form S-1/A
filed with the SEC on March 30, 2010, for a public offering of shares of our
common stock. The registration statement has not yet become effective and the
price for the offering has not yet been determined. The public
offering is contingent on a number of factors and there can be no assurance that
we will proceed with the offer or sale of the shares or consummate the offering.
These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the
time the registration statement becomes effective. This disclosure shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall
there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such state.
As of the close of business on March
30, 2010, we had 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which
19,787,388 shares were
outstanding, and we had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, of
which none were issued and outstanding.
In
attempt to ensure that the Company can effect the public offering at a desirable
per share price of our common stock, the Board considered it necessary to effect
a reverse stock split of our common stock to reduce the number of outstanding
shares of our common stock. After consultation with investment bankers and
advisors, the Board approved the 1-for-2 Reverse Stock Split of our common
stock. On March 30, 2010, stockholders holding a majority of the
voting power of our capital stock consented to resolutions authorizing our Board
of Directors to effect the Reverse Stock Split of our outstanding common stock,
with our Board of Directors retaining the discretion of whether to implement the
Reverse Stock Split.
The
approval becomes effective twenty (20) days after the mailing of this
information statement to our stockholders. Upon this approval becoming
effective, our Board of Directors will be authorized to implement or abandon the
Reverse Stock Split as it determines is advisable considering relevant market
conditions at the time of the closing of the contemplated public offering of
common stock. We believe that approval of this discretion to the Board provides
the Board with maximum flexibility to react to prevailing market conditions and
to therefore act in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Our
Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Stock Split is in the best
interests of our company and its stockholders and the Board unanimously approved
the Reverse Stock Split on March 30, 2010, but our Board of Directors has not
yet determined whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split.
We
anticipate that the Reverse Stock Split may have the effect of increasing,
proportionately, the per share trading price our common stock when, and if, we
begin trading on the NYSE Amex on which we have applied for listing. The
decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding as a consequence of
the proposed Reverse Stock Split should increase the per share price of the
common stock, which may encourage greater interest in the common stock and
possibly promote greater liquidity for the Company's stockholders. However, the
increase in the per share price of the common stock as a consequence of the
proposed Reverse Stock Split, if any, may be proportionately less than the
decrease in the number of shares outstanding, and any increased liquidity due to
any increased per share price could be partially or entirely off-set by the
reduced number of shares outstanding after the proposed Reverse Stock Split. The
Reverse Stock Split could result in a per share price that adequately
compensates for the adverse impact of the market factors noted above. In
general, there can be no assurance that the favorable effects described above
will occur, or that any increase in per share price of the common stock
resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be maintained for any period of
time.
POTENTIAL
EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED REVERSE SPLIT
When and
if the Board implements the Reverse Stock Split, its immediate effect will be to
reduce the number of shares of the outstanding common stock and to increase the
market price of such common stock. However, the effect the Reverse Stock Split
upon the market price of the common stock cannot be predicted, and the history
of reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances sometimes
improves stock performance, but in many cases does not. There can be no
assurance that the trading price of the common stock, if and when publicly
traded, after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction
in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a result of the
Reverse Stock Split or remain at an increased level for any period. The trading
price of the common stock may change due to a variety of other factors,
including our operating results, other factors related to our business and
general market conditions.
The
following table summarizes the approximate effect of the Reverse Stock Split on
our authorized and outstanding shares of common stock, as well as shares of our
common stock reserved for issuance under outstanding obligations.

EFFECTS
ON OWNERSHIP BY INDIVIDUAL STOCKHOLDERS
After the
Reverse Stock Split is effected, the number of shares of our common stock held
by each stockholder will be reduced by multiplying the number of shares held
immediately before the Reverse Stock Split by the 1-for-2 exchange ratio, and
then rounding up to the nearest whole share. We will not pay cash to each
stockholder in respect of any fractional interest in a share resulting from the
Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder's
percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power,
except to the extent that interests in fractional shares will be rounded up to
the nearest whole share.
EFFECT
ON WARRANTS AND OTHER DERIVATIVE SECURITIES
The
Company currently has outstanding warrants which may be exercised into shares of
common stock. The effect of the Reverse Stock Split on these
securities is discussed below.
Warrants
As of the
date of this information statement, we had an aggregate of 1,580,708 warrants
issued and outstanding with per share exercise prices of $0.0001 for issuance of
a total of 1,580,708 shares of common stock. When the Company
implements the 1-for-2 Reverse Stock Split, the exercise price of the warrants
will be adjusted such that the total number of shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of all of the warrants will be decreased to approximately 790,358
shares of common stock. In addition, the exercise price will be
increased to $0.0002 per share.
Other
Derivative Securities
The
Company currently has no outstanding options entitling their holders to purchase
shares of our common stock. Should any options, or other convertible
securities, become outstanding before the occurrence of the Reverse Stock Split,
proportionate adjustments would be made based on the terms of the particular
security. As an example, proportionate adjustments would be made to
the exercise price per share and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise
of all outstanding options, entitling the holders to purchase shares of our
common stock, which would result in approximately the same aggregate price being
required to be paid for such options upon exercise immediately preceding the
Reverse Stock Split.
OTHER
EFFECTS ON OUTSTANDING SHARES
The
rights and preferences of the outstanding shares of the common stock will remain
the same when the Reverse Stock Split occurs. Each share of common stock issued
pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will be fully paid and
non-assessable.
REDUCTION
IN STATED CAPITAL
The
Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of our common stock. As a
result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on
our balance sheet attributable to our common stock will be reduced in proportion
to the size of the Reverse Stock Split, and the additional paid-in capital
account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced.
Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged.
INTEREST
OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
Except in
their capacity as stockholders, none of our officers, directors or any of their
respective affiliates has any interest in the Reverse Stock Split.
AUTHORIZED
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
General
When and
if our Board implements the Reverse Stock Split, it will not change the number
of authorized shares of our common stock as designated by the Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended. Therefore, because the number of issued and
outstanding shares of common stock will decrease, the number of shares remaining
available for issuance under our authorized pool of common stock will
increase.
Anti-Takeover
The
additional shares of common stock that will become available for issuance as a
result of the Reverse Stock Split could be used by our management to oppose a
hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control or changes in or
removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of
the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium
for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other
manner. Although the Reverse Stock Split is prompted by business and financial
considerations, stockholders nevertheless should be aware that the Reverse Stock
Split could facilitate future efforts by our management to deter or prevent a
change in control of our company. The Board has no plans to use any of the
additional shares of common stock that will become available when the Reverse
Stock Split occurs, for any such purposes.
In
addition to the anti-takeover implications from the increased number of shares
that will become available for issuance as a result of the Reverse Stock Split,
as discussed above, we are also affected by Delaware anti-takeover laws and
anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents. Other than as
discussed in this information statement, there are no provisions of our
articles, bylaws, employment agreements or credit agreements have material
anti-takeover consequences.
Delaware
Law Anti-Takeover Law
We are
subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This provision
generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business
combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years
following the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder,
unless:
|
·
|
prior
to such date, the Board of Directors approved either the business
combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming
an interested stockholder;
|
|
·
|
upon
consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming
an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85%
of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the
transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of
shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and
also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants
do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held
subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer;
or
|
|
·
|
on
or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the
Board of Directors and authorized at an annual meeting or special meeting
of stockholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at
least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the
interested stockholder.
|
Section
203 defines a business combination to include:
|
·
|
any
merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested
stockholder;
|
|
·
|
any
sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets
of the corporation involving the interested
stockholder;
|
|
·
|
subject
to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or
transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the
interested stockholder;
|
|
·
|
any
transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing
the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the
corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder;
or
|
|
·
|
the
receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans,
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or
through the corporation.
|
In
general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person
beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a
corporation, or an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner
of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation at any time
within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder
status; and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by
such entity or person.
Anti-Takeover
Charter Provisions
Our
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that could have the
effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or
delaying or preventing a change in control of our company, including changes a
stockholder might consider favorable. In particular, our Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws, as applicable, among other things, will:
|
·
|
provide
our Board of Directors with the ability to alter our Bylaws without
stockholder approval;
|
|
·
|
provide
for an advance notice procedure with regard to the nomination of
candidates for election as directors and with regard to business to be
brought before a meeting of stockholders;
and
|
|
·
|
provide
that vacancies on our Board of Directors may be filled by a majority of
directors in office, although less than a
quorum.
|
Such
provisions may have the effect of discouraging a third-party from acquiring our
company, even if doing so would be beneficial to its stockholders. These
provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in
the composition of our Board of Directors and in the policies formulated by
them, and to discourage some types of transactions that may involve an actual or
threatened change in control of our company. These provisions are designed to
reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to
discourage some tactics that may be used in proxy fights. We believe that the
benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the
proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us
outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals because, among other
things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their
terms.
However,
these provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender
offers for our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover
attempts. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our
management.
STOCK
CERTIFICATES
As of the
effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each certificate representing shares
of our common stock before the Reverse Stock Split will be deemed, for all
corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of our
common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. All shares, underlying
options and warrants and other securities will also be automatically adjusted on
the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, if any such securities are
outstanding on the effective date. We will not issue fractional
shares on account of the Reverse Stock Split. Holders of pre-split
common stock who will otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share on account
of the Reverse Stock Split will be entitled to receive, in lieu of such
fractional share, one full share of common stock.
If you
hold your shares of common stock in a brokerage account or in "street name," you
will not be required to take any further action. If you hold stock certificates,
you will not have to exchange your existing stock certificates for new stock
certificates reflecting the Reverse Stock Split. However, any stockholder
desiring a new form of stock certificate may submit the existing stock
certificate to our transfer agent for cancellation, and obtain a new form of
certificate. The transfer agent may impose a reasonable fee for a voluntary
exchange of certificates. Stockholders should not destroy any stock
certificate.

We will

to avoid the expense and inconvenience of issuing and transferring fractional

fractional shares which result from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up
to the next whole share.
NO

Under the
Delaware Code, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to
the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock
Split, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such
right.
FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The
following discussion is a summary of certain federal income tax consequences of
the Reverse Stock Split to us and stockholders of our common
stock. This discussion is based on laws, regulations, rulings and
decisions in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change
(possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing
interpretations. This discussion only applies to stockholders that
are U.S. persons as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
and does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a
stockholder in light of his particular circumstances or to stockholders subject
to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions,
insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign individuals and entities,
and persons who acquired their common stock as compensation). In
addition, this summary is limited to stockholders that hold their common stock
as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences
arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction or
alternative minimum tax consequences. The tax treatment of each stockholder may
vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such
stockholder.
We
urge all stockholders to consult their own tax advisers to determine the
particular federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to each of them of
the Reverse Stock Split.
We have
not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse
Stock Split. We believe, however, that because the Reverse Stock Split is not
part of a plan to periodically increase or decrease any stockholder’s
proportionate interest in the assets or earnings and profits of our company, the
Reverse Stock Split should have the federal income tax effects described
below:
|
·
|
The
exchange of pre-split shares for post-split shares should not result in
recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes.
|
|
·
|
The
stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the post-split shares would equal
that stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the pre-split
shares.
|
|
·
|
The
stockholder’s holding period for the post-split shares will include such
stockholder’s holding period for the pre-split
shares.
|
|
·
|
Provided
that a stockholder held the pre-split shares as a capital asset, the
post-split shares received in exchange therefor would also be held as a
capital asset.
|
Our
Company should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock
Split.
SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In computing
the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of
ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options and warrants
held by that person that are currently exercisable or become exercisable within
60 days of the date of this information statement are deemed outstanding even if
they have not actually been exercised. Those shares, however, are not deemed
outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other
person.
The
following table sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial
ownership of our common stock based on 22,372,814 issued and outstanding shares
of common stock, by:
|
·
|
Each
person known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding
common stock of our company;
|
|
·
|
Each
executive officer;
|
|
·
|
All
of the executive officers and directors as a
group.
|
Unless
otherwise indicated, the persons and entities named in the table have sole
voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite
the stockholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable.
Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder listed in the table
is c/o China Intelligent Lighting and Electronics, Inc., No. 29 & 31
Huanzhen West Road, Shuikou Town, Huizhou City, Guangdong, People’s Republic of
China 516005.
