NOTICE OF ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN PURSUANT TO THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS HOLDING A MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF THE COMPANY IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS, DATED JUNE 9, 2014.
TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, on June 9, 2014, AXIM International, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) obtained the unanimous written consent of its board of directors (“ Board of Directors ”) and the written consent of stockholders (the “ Majority Stockholders ”) holding 29,887,300 shares of common stock of the Company or 91% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock approving an amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to: (i) change the name of the Company to “AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc.;” (the “Name Change”) and (ii) increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from one hundred ninety five million (195,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001per share, to three hundred million (300,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Authorized Capital Increase ”).
OUTSTANDING SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
As of June 9, 2014 (the “Record Date”), the Company's authorized capitalization consisted of 195,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 33,000,000 shares were issued and outstanding.
Each share of common stock of the Company entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders. However, because the Majority Stockholders have consented to the foregoing actions by resolution dated June 9, 2014, in lieu of a special meeting in accordance with 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and because the Majority Stockholders have sufficient voting power to approve such actions through their ownership of common stock, no other stockholder vote will be solicited in connection with this Information Statement.
AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Board of Directors and Majority Stockholders have approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to affect the Name Change and Authorized Capital Increase.
We intend to file a Certificate of Amendment (“Amendment”) to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada effectuating the above action. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the actions will not be effective, and the Amendment will not be filed, until twenty (20) days after the date this Information Statement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and a copy thereof is mailed to each of the Company’s stockholders. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made on or about July 7, 2014.
The Name Change
On June 9, 2014, our Board of Directors approved, subject to receiving the approval of the holder of a majority of our outstanding capital stock, an amendment of our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to (i) change the name of the Company to “AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc.” to more accurately reflect our anticipated future operations. The majority stockholders approved the Amendment pursuant to a written consent dated as of June 9, 2014. The proposed Amendment is attached hereto as Appendix A.
The Amendment effecting the name change will become effective following the 20th day after the mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders as of the Record Date.
The Amendment has been adopted based on the anticipated change of business of the Company. Going forward, the Company will become an innovative biotechnology company working on the treatment of pain, spasticity, anxiety and other medical disorders with the application of cannabinoids based products as well as focusing on research, development and production of pharmaceutical, nutriceutical and cosmetic products as well as procurement of genetically and nano-controlled active ingredients.
Therefore, our Board of Directors has determined that the change of our name to “AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc.” is in the best interest of our stockholders and will more accurately reflect, and allow us to engage in, our new business operations.
The Authorized Capital Increase
The purpose of the Authorized Capital Increase is to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance to investors who agree to provide the Company with the funding it requires to continue its operations, and/or to persons in connection with potential acquisition transactions, warrant or option exercises and other transactions under which the Company’s Board of Directors may determine is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholder to issue shares of common stock. As of the date of this Information Statement, the Company has not identified any investors, entered into any agreements relating to any potential investment in the Company; or entered into any agreements relating to an acquisition of another specified company, pursuant to which the Company will issue shares of its common stock.
The Authorized Capital Increase will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders, but may have a dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders if additional shares are issued.
We are not increasing our authorized common stock to construct or enable any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on behalf of the Company. While it is possible that management could use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders, the Company has no intent or plan to employ the additional unissued authorized shares as an anti-takeover device.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AMENDMENT
Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Authorized Capital Increase and the Name Change will not be effective, until at least twenty (20) days after the date on which this Information Statement is filed with the Commission and a copy hereof has been mailed to each of the Company’s stockholders. The Company anticipates that this Information Statement will be mailed to our stockholders as of the Record Date on or about July 7, 2014. Therefore, the Company anticipates that the Name Change and Authorized Capital Increase will be effective, and the Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada, on or about July 27, 2014.
The Company has asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Company’s common stock and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.
