GENERAL
INFORMATION
InterCloud
Systems, Inc. (our “Company,” “we” or “us”) is furnishing this Information Statement to
you to provide a description of actions taken by our board of directors (the “Board”) on August 23, 2017, and by
the holders of voting shares representing at least a majority of the voting rights of our common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and our outstanding shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(“Preferred Stock”), voting together with our Common Stock on an as-converted basis (the “Majority
Stockholders”), in accordance with the relevant sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“DGCL”).
This Information Statement
is being mailed on or about September __, 2017, to the Company’s stockholders of record on August 25, 2017 (the “Record
Date”). This Information Statement is being delivered only to inform you of the corporate action described herein in accordance
with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), before such
action takes effect. No action is requested or required on your part.
WE
ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
THIS
IS NOT A NOTICE OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN.
PLEASE
NOTE THAT THE HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF THE VOTING POWER OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR PREFERRED STOCK VOTING TOGETHER WITH OUR COMMON
STOCK ON AN AS-CONVERTED BASIS HAVE VOTED TO AUTHORIZE THE ACTION DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE NUMBER OF VOTES RECEIVED IS SUFFICIENT
TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT AND CONSEQUENTLY NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THIS MATTER.
General
Description of Corporate Action
The
Board has determined that the close of business on August 25, 2017, is the record date (the “Record Date”) for the
Company’s stockholders entitled to receive notice about the corporate actions set forth herein regarding the Company’s
authorization to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 500,000,000
to 1,000,000,000, substantially as set forth in the form attached hereto as Appendix A. The foregoing amendment is referred to herein
as the “Action.”
As
of the Record Date, Mark Munro and Mark Durfee, who collectively own of record 1,000 shares of Series “J” Preferred
Stock (“Super Voting Preferred Stock”), representing 51% of the voting power of the Company as of the Record Date,
executed and delivered to us a written consent authorizing and approving the Action.
Accordingly,
the Action has been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our voting stock, and no further vote or
further action of our stockholders is required to approve the Action. You are hereby being provided with notice of the approval
of the Action by less than unanimous written consent of our stockholders. However, under federal law, the Action will not be effective
until at least 20 days after this Information Statement has first been mailed to stockholders. Stockholders do not have any dissenter
or appraisal rights in connection with the Action at hand.
On
August 23, 2017, the Board approved the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 (the “Amendment”) and authorized our officers to deliver this Information
Statement.
Our
executive offices are located at 1030 Broad Street, Shrewsbury, New Jersey 07702, and our telephone number is (561) 988-1988.
Dilution
The issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock will decrease the relative percentage of equity ownership of our existing stockholders, thereby
diluting the voting power of their Common Stock, and, depending on the price at which additional shares may be issued, could also
be dilutive to the earnings per share of our Common Stock.
Potential Anti-Takeover Effect
Although this corporate
action is not motivated by anti-takeover concerns and is not considered by the Board of Directors to be an anti-takeover measure,
the availability of additional authorized Common Stock could be utilized as such or otherwise have the effect of delaying or preventing
a change of control of the Company. In addition to financing purposes, the Company could also issue shares of Common Stock or a
series of Preferred Stock that may, depending on the amount of such Common Stock or the terms of such series of Preferred Stock,
make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest,
or other means.
Interest
of Persons in or Opposition to Matters to be Acted Upon
No
officer, director or principal stockholder has a substantial or material interest in the favorable outcome of the Actions other
than as discussed herein.
RECOMMENDATION
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The
Board believes that the increase in the authorized Common Shares is in the best interest of our Company and our stockholders for
the reasons described herein. The Board believes that the Action will afford the Company greater flexibility in seeking new capital
and potential acquisition targets. No assurance can be given that any of the reasons cited in this Information Statement will
ultimately be proven to be correct.
OUTSTANDING
VOTING SECURITIES
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. As of the Record
Date, we had issued and outstanding:
|
|
●
|
__________ shares of Common Stock; and
|
|
|
●
|
__________ shares of Series J Super Voting Preferred Stock.
|
The
number of voting shares outstanding excludes shares of Common Stock subject to stock purchase warrants outstanding and shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to our 2012 Performance Incentive Plan.
On
or about August 23, 2017, the Majority Stockholders executed and delivered to us a written consent approving the Action. Because
the Action was approved by the Majority Stockholders, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.
The
DGCL provides that unless our Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise, stockholders may take action without a meeting
of stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by
the stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at
which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present.
Common
Stock
The
holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company.
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled, among other things, (i) to share ratably in dividends if, when and as declared by the
Board out of funds legally available therefore, and (ii) in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company,
to share ratably in the distribution of assets legally available therefore, after payment of debts and expenses. Holders of our
Common Stock have no subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting
rights in the election of directors and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of our capital stock. The
rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Common Stock are subject to the terms of any series of Preferred Stock that
may be issued and outstanding from time to time. A vote of the holders of a majority of our Common Stock is generally required
to take action under our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Preferred
Stock
Under
our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Board can issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock from time to time
in one or more series. Our Board is authorized to fix by resolution as to any series of Preferred Stock the designation and number
of shares of the series, the voting rights, the dividend rights, the redemption price, the amount payable upon liquidation or
dissolution, the conversion rights, and any other designations, preferences or special rights or restrictions as may be permitted
by law. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and the rules of law applicable thereto require such approval, the Board
has the authority to issue these shares of Preferred Stock without stockholder approval.
Series
J Super Voting Preferred Stock
. Pursuant to its Certificate of Designation, the Series J Super Voting Preferred Stock shall
be voted together with the shares of Common Stock of the Company and any other series of preferred stock then outstanding, and
not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, with respect to any question or matter
upon which the holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, such that the aggregate voting power of the Series J Super Voting
Preferred Stock is equal to 51% of the total voting power of the Corporation.
PRINCIPAL
STOCKHOLDERS
The
following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of August 23, 2017, by:
|
|
●
|
each
person known by us to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Common
Stock;
|
|
|
●
|
each
of our named executive officers; and
|
|
|
●
|
all
directors and executive officers as a group.
|
The amounts and percentages
of Common Stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial
ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if
that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security,
or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person
is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within
60 days after, August 23, 2017. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities
and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no economic interest. Except as indicated by footnote,
to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common
Stock shown as beneficially owned by them.
In the table below, the
percentage of ownership of our Common Stock is based on 352,498,727 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 23, 2017. Unless
otherwise noted below, the address of the persons listed on the table is c/o InterCloud Systems, Inc., 1030 Broad Street, Shrewsbury,
NJ 07702.

STATEMENTS
This
Information Statement may contain certain “forward-looking” statements (as that term is defined in the Private Securities

regarding our business, anticipated financial or operational results, our objectives, the amount and timing of the contemplated
initial public offering of our Common Stock. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical
fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,”
“will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,”
“estimate,” “might,” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable
terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements, by their nature, involve substantial risks

DELIVERY
OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS
We may send only one Information
Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from
any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage
costs. However, we will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of this Information Statement to a stockholder
at a shared address to which a single copy of this Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request
by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which we should
direct the additional copy of this Information Statement to us at 1030 Broad Street, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702, telephone: (561) 988-1988.
If
multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and
would prefer us to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the us at,
our principal executive offices. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this
Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer us to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the
shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to our principal executive offices.
This
Information Statement is provided to the holders of Common Stock only for information purposes in connection with the actions,
pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act. Please carefully read this Information Statement.
