INTRODUCTION
Nevada law 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 can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action. Nevada law, however, requires that in the event an action is approved by written consent, the corporation must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation.
In accordance with the foregoing, we will mail the Notice to the Stockholders on or about April 29, 2013.
This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Authorized Share Increase approved by the Board and the Majority Stockholders.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
As of April 3, 2013, there were issued and outstanding (i) 800,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, (ii) zero shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and (iii) zero shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. Under the Certificate of Incorporation each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Based on the foregoing, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Outstanding Share Increase is 400,000,001. Pursuant to Nevada law, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least 400,000,001 votes, are required to approve the Outstanding Share Increase by written consent. The Majority Stockholders, which hold in the aggregate 408,944,070 (as of the date hereof), or approximately 51.118 of the voting equity of the Company, have voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase thereby satisfying the requirement under Nevada law that at least a majority of the voting equity vote in favor of a corporate action by written consent.
The Authorized Share Increase will not become effective until at least 20 calendar days following the date of mailing of this Information Statement to our Stockholders.
This Information Statement is furnished for the purposes of informing our Stockholders, in the manner required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the Authorized Share Increase before it is consummated. This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about April 29, 2013 to holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on April 3, 2013.
CORPORATE UPDATE
Over the past few quarters there has been a substantial positive turn around in our business operations. As a result, we are expecting 2013 and 2014 to be strong growth years for Medical Alarm Concepts Holding, Inc.
Based on only the contracts the Company has currently signed, revenues exclusively from monthly monitoring contracts exceed our monthly operating expenses, putting the Company into a positive monthly operating cash flow position; a position, which grows in strength virtually every day. In addition to monthly monitoring contracts, the Company expects strong sales of MediPendant products into its distribution network, which will add both additional revenues and gross margins to the income statement. We expect this positive monthly operating cash flow position to continue for the foreseeable future due to the high quality and expected longevity of our customer contracts.
The Company’s relationship with its major retail distribution partner remains strong with sales and shipments occurring on a consistent basis. Early in the March quarter, the Company successfully completed a retail promotion with this large discount warehouse chain partner. An additional program began late in the March quarter and is expected to run through April 21, 2013. The MediPendant has now received 21 product reviews on the retailer's website, 17 of which are "5 out of 5 Star" ratings. The average rating is "4.5 Stars" out of 5 Stars.
Medical Alarm Concepts recently announced the signing of a major diversified national healthcare insurer that will offer the Company's MediPendant product and monthly monitoring services to subscribers of selected healthcare programs. Additionally, the product will be included in the insurance carrier's dual demonstration program (Medicaid and Medicare) related contracts on which it may bid. Management is currently in process of hiring additional staff to meet the expected demand from this major customer.
The Company is experiencing acceleration in its international business having recently announced two European distribution partnerships. The Company also recently announced it has signed a marketing and operations agreement with JTT-EMS LTD of Shijiazhuang, China to bring the MediPendant personal medical alarm to the People's Republic of China.
The Company recently received an investment led by strategic partner, JTT-EMS LTD of Shijiazhuang, China. Under the terms of the investment, JTT-EMS LTD purchased restricted common stock, which it plans to hold as a long-term investment. The financing, including additional investments by current shareholders, will total up to approximately $330,000. There are no warrants or options associated with this investment. Funds received will primarily be used to rebuild inventory levels to meet the growing demand and to pay professional fees associated with returning the Company to fully reporting status. An additional 2,200 MediPendants were recently ordered from the factory in order to partially meet the continued growing demand. The Company expects additional orders will need to be placed in the very near future as demand continues to accelerate.
Management has been very successful in negotiating with debt holders for the cancellation of very significant portions of our debt and all of our outstanding preferred stock. Since the beginning of last year, approximately $93,775 of convertible debt has been cancelled. Earlier this month, the holder of our short-term credit line cancelled $236,397 of the outstanding balance. Additionally, since the beginning of last year, approximately 161,000,000 million toxic and highly dilutive warrants were also cancelled as was the remaining $75,000 portion of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. No shares, warrants or options were granted in exchange for these cancellations. There is currently no outstanding Series A or Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and there are no outstanding options to purchase common or preferred stock.
The debt cancellations will likely result in one or more large non-recurring gains during the June 2013 quarter and/or previous accounting periods. The warrant cancellations are expected to generate substantial additional one-time, non-cash flow related gains for the Company as derivative liability charges currently carried on the balance sheet are reversed.
Management is expecting to announce additional major debt cancellations over the coming weeks upon closing of additional negotiations with debt holders. Because our trade payables have been paid down very substantially over the past few quarters, we are expecting our balance sheet to be very strong, nearly long-term debt free and with very manageable trade payable levels.
We believe our upcoming balance sheet, which will be free of nearly all long-term debt and free of warrants, options and outstanding preferred stock will more accurately reflect the true value of our growing company.
Effective April 8, 2013, the Company engaged Paritz & Company, P.A. as its new independent registered public accounting firm. Paritz & Company has begun the process of auditing our financial performance. The Company has also recently hired new corporate counsel and new accounting professionals to assist management in completing its Securities & Exchange Commission 10-Q and 10-K filings in order to return the Company to fully reporting status.
The Company expects calendar year 2013 to be one of continued growth in both monthly recurring revenues and distribution sales, which will allow the Company to realize sustainable positive operating cash flow.
We believe the growth rate and the positive operating cash flow we are currently realizing is sustainable into 2014 and beyond.
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
The Authorized Share Increase will become effective on the date that we file the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We intend to file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders.
With respect to the Authorized Share Increase described in this Information Statement, the Board reserves the right to elect not to proceed with the Authorized Share Increase, at any time prior to filing the Amendment, the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of the Stockholders to consummate the Authorized Share Increase.
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK
GENERAL
The purpose of the Authorized Share Increase is to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 800,000,000 (Eight Hundred Million) shares of to 1,400,000,000 (One Billion Four Hundred Million) shares.
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
On March 6, 2013, the Company announced it received an investment led by strategic partner, JTT-EMS LTD of ShiJiaZhuang, China. Under the terms of the investment, JTT-EMS LTD purchased in a private placement transaction Common Stock and has indicated to the Company that it plans to hold these shares as a long-term investment. The investment by JTT-EMS LTD was accompanied by additional investments by current stockholders bring the total investment to approximately $330,000. There are no warrants, options, or any other enhancements attached to these investments.
In order to satisfy its obligations with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the investors, meet regulatory requirements, meet requirements for debt conversions, maintain current revenue growth trajectories, acquire inventory to meet growing demand, and to ensure adequate working capital, the Company requires an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The additional shares of Common Stock to be authorized after effecting the Amendment would have rights identical to the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock, except for effects incidental to increasing the number of outstanding shares, such as the dilution of current Stockholders’ ownership and voting interests.
The Authorized Share Increase will also give the Company additional shares to provide flexibility for the future to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment. For example, the Company may require additional funding for its operations and therefore may need the increased number of authorized shares to raise additional equity capital. Further, the additional authorized shares may be used in the future for any other proper corporate purpose approved by the Board, including corporate mergers or acquisitions, shares reserved under stock option plans, stock dividends or splits, debt conversions, or other corporate purposes. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance Stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company’s business or the trading price of the Common Stock.
Potential Dilutive Effect
The issuance of a substantial number of additional shares of Common Stock from the newly authorized shares provided for in the Authorized Share Increase may result in dilution of your ownership interest in the Company. Stockholders of the Company do not have preemptive rights with respect to our Common stock. Thus, existing Stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase any shares.
Any such issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. Any additional Common Stock, when issued, would have the same rights and preferences as the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding.
Potential Anti-Takeover Effect
The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock and any subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the Stockholders. Shares of authorized and unissued Common Stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. The Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and has not presented this proposal with the intention that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock be used as a type of antitakeover device.
The Authorized Share Increase is not part of any plan to adopt a series of amendments having an anti-takeover effect, and the Company’s management presently does not intend to propose anti-takeover measures in future proxy solicitations. Subject to the limitations of Nevada law, it could be possible to use the additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance once the Amendment is filed to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control of the Company or changes in or removal of our management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the independent 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. For example, the Board could, without further Stockholder approval, strategically sell shares of our Common Stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor our current board of directors. The Authorized Share Increase was not being proposed in response to any effort, nor are we aware of any effort, to accumulate shares of our Common Stock or obtain control of the Company.
Effective Date
The Shareholder Actions will not become effective until at least 20 calendar days following the date of mailing of this Information Statement to our Shareholders. This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about April 29, 2013 to holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on April 3, 2013. The Authorized Share Increase will become effective on the date that we file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We intend to file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada promptly after the twentieth (20th) day following the date on which this Information Statement is mailed to the Stockholders.
No Dissenters’ Rights
Stockholders of the Company do not have dissenters’ rights or the right to seek the appraisal of their shares under Nevada law as a result of the Authorized Share Increase.
Government Approvals
Except for compliance with the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with this Information Statement and of the Nevada Revised Statutes in connection with the Authorized Share Increase, we are not required to comply with any federal or state regulatory requirements, and no federal or state regulatory approvals are required in connection with the Authorized Share Increase.
Approval of the Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Board, after careful consideration, has approved the Authorized Share Increase and has recommended that the Stockholders vote for its adoption. Effective April 17, 2013, the Majority Stockholders holding 51.1118% of the outstanding Common Stock executed a written consent in lieu of a Shareholders meeting approving the Authorized Share Increase.
Interests of Certain Persons in Matter to be Acted Upon
Except in their capacity as Stockholders (which interest does not differ from that of the other common shareholders), none of our officers, directors, or any of their respective affiliates has any interest in the Authorized Share Increase.
