INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(C) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND REGULATION 14C PROMULGATED THEREUNDER

 

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

XcelMobility, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation with principal executive offices located at 2225 East Bayshore Road, Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303. Our telephone number is (650) 632-4210. On August 12, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), after careful consideration, unanimously deemed advisable and approved and adopted an amendment to our articles of incorporation (the “Amendment”) increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 800,000,000 shares. This Information Statement is being sent to holders of record (the “Stockholders”) of the Company’s Common Stock as of August 12, 2015 (the “Record Date”), by the Board to notify them about actions that the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company and all of the outstanding preferred stock of the Company (the “Consenting Stockholders”) entitled to vote on the Amendment (the “Required Vote”), have taken action by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of the Stockholders. The Required Vote was obtained on August 12, 2015 in accordance with the relevant sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) and our Articles of Incorporation and our By-laws (the “Charter”).

 

Section 78.320 of the NRS generally provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power, except that if a different proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then that proportion of written consents is required. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in obtaining proxies and in order to effect the above actions as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company as herein described, the Board consented to the utilization of, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the Consenting Stockholders who collectively own shares representing a majority of our Common Stock.

 

We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy.

 

Copies of this Information Statement are expected to be mailed on or about August _, 2015, to the holders of record on the Record Date of our outstanding shares. The matters that are subject to approval of the Stockholders will not be completed until at least 20 calendar days after the initial mailing of this Information Statement. This Information Statement is being delivered only to inform you of the corporate actions described herein before they take effect in accordance with Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

We have asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our capital stock held of record and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding such material.

 

Dissenting Stockholders

 

Under Nevada Law, our dissenting stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the approval of the Amendment, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such right.

 

Information Statement Costs

 

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them and will reimburse such persons for their reasonable charges and expenses in connection therewith.

 

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 COMPANY’S CONTROLLING STOCKHOLDERS HAVE VOTED TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT. THE NUMBER OF VOTES HELD BY THE STOCKHOLDERS EXECUTING THE CONSENT IS SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH MATTER UNDER APPLICABLE LAW AND THE COMPANY’S CHARTER, SO NO ADDITIONAL VOTES WILL BE NEEDED TO APPROVE THIS ACTION.

CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS

 

On the Record Date, 2 stockholders holding 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (51% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock and 100% of the outstanding preferred stock), consented in writing to the approval of the Amendment.

 

Under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, the transactions cannot become effective until the expiration of the 20-day Period.

 

 

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO

 

THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

 

 

General Information

 

As of the date hereof, pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, we are authorized to issue up to Four Hundred Million (400,000,000) shares of Common Stock. We propose to increase our authorized shares of Common Stock from Four Hundred Million (400,000,000) to Eight Hundred Million (800,000,000) shares of Common Stock.

 

The Consenting Stockholders representing a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock and all of the outstanding preferred stock have given their written consent to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock. Under the NRS, the consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power is effective as stockholders’ approval. We will file the Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to Eight Hundred Million (800,000,000) shares of Common Stock no earlier than (20) calendar days from the date of mailing of this Information Statement. A copy of the form of Amendment is attached hereto as Annex A.

 

The Amendment will not result in any changes to the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and will only affect the number of shares that may be issued by the Company in the future.

 

Reasons for the Amendment

 

The primary purpose of this amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is to make available for future issuance by us additional shares of Common Stock and to have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to maintain flexibility in our corporate strategy and planning. We believe that it is in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders to have additional authorized but unissued shares available for issuance to meet business needs as they arise. The Board of Directors believes that the availability of additional shares will provide our Company with the flexibility to issue Common Stock for possible future financings, stock dividends or distributions, acquisitions, stock option plans, and other proper corporate purposes that may be identified in the future by the Board of Directors, without the possible expense and delay of a special stockholders’ meeting. The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and, for stockholders who do not purchase additional shares to maintain their pro rata interest in our Company, on such stockholders’ percentage voting power.

 

The authorized shares of Common Stock in excess of those issued will be available for issuance at such times and for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors may deem advisable, without further action by our stockholders, except as may be required by applicable law or by the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association trading system on which the securities may be listed or traded. Upon issuance, such shares will have the same rights as the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights. The availability of additional shares of Common Stock is particularly important in the event that the Board of Directors determines to undertake any actions on an expedited basis and thus to avoid the time, expense and delay of seeking stockholder approval in connection with any potential issuance of Common Stock of which we have none contemplated at this time other than as discussed herein.

 

We have no arrangements, agreements, understandings, or plans at the current time for the issuance or use of the additional shares of common stock proposed to be authorized. The Board of Directors does not intend to issue any common stock except on terms which the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interests of our company and its then existing stockholders.

 

Principal Effects on Outstanding Common Stock

 

The proposal to increase the authorized Common Stock will affect the rights of existing holders of Common Stock to the extent that future issuances of Common Stock will reduce each existing stockholder’s proportionate ownership and may dilute earnings per share of the shares outstanding at the time of any such issuance. The Amendment will be effective upon filing with the Nevada Secretary of State.

 

Potential Anti-Takeover Aspects and Possible Disadvantages of Stockholder Approval of the Increase

 

The increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could have possible anti-takeover effects. These authorized but unissued shares could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that could make a change of control of the Company more difficult, and therefore more unlikely. The additional authorized shares could be used to discourage persons from attempting to gain control of the Company by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding or increasing the voting power of persons that would support the Board of Directors in a potential takeover situation, including by preventing or delaying a proposed business combination that is opposed by the Board of Directors although perceived to be desirable by some stockholders. The Board of Directors does not have any current knowledge of any effort by any third party to accumulate our securities or obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise.

 

  

While the Amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, our Board of Directors believes that the financial flexibility offered by the Amendment outweighs any disadvantages. To the extent that the Amendment may have anti-takeover effects, the Amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire our Company to negotiate directly with the Board of Directors enabling the Board of Directors to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the stockholders’ interests.

 

Other than as set forth above, there are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock.

 

Amendment

 

The Third Article of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation will be amended to read as follows:

 

“The Corporation shall have authority to issue a total of Eight Hundred Million (800,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 Preferred Shares, par value $0.001. To the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada (currently set forth in NRS 78.195 and 78.1955), as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended or supplemented, the board of directors may fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variations of each class or series within each class of capital stock of the Corporation. The Corporation may issue the shares of stock for such consideration as may be fixed by the board of directors.”

 

A copy of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is attached as Annex A.

 

No Dissenter’s Rights

 

Under Nevada Law, our dissenting stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Amendment, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such right.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

On May 9, 2014, our Board of Directors approved and adopted our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and authorized management to submit the Plan to our stockholders for approval. A majority of our stockholders approved the Plan on May 9, 2014.

 

The proposed Plan permits us to grant a variety of forms of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and dividend equivalent rights, to allow us to adapt our incentive compensation program to meet our needs. The number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Plan to employees, directors and/or consultants in such awards is 40,000,000 shares. Our Board of Directors currently serves as the administrator of the Plan. As of December 31, 2014, 1,000,000 stock options to purchase shares of our common stock have been granted under the Plan.

 

Non-Cumulative Voting

 

The holders of our shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting for the election of Directors, can elect all of the Directors to be elected, if they so choose. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our Directors.

 

Transfer Agent

 

Our transfer agent is Securities Transfer Corp., and is located at 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas, 75034. Their telephone number is (469) 633-0101.

 

 

REASONS WE USED STOCKHOLDER CONSENT AS OPPOSED TO SOLICITATION OF STOCKHOLDER

APPROVAL VIA PROXY STATEMENT AND SPECIAL MEETING

 

The Amendment requires stockholder approval. Stockholder approval could have been obtained by us in one of two ways: (i) by the dissemination of a proxy statement and subsequent majority vote in favor of the actions at a stockholders meeting called for such purpose, or (ii) by a written consent of the holders of a majority of our voting securities. However, the latter method, while it represents the requisite stockholder approval, is not deemed effective until twenty (20) days after this Information Statement has been sent to all of our stockholders giving them notice of and informing them of the actions approved by such consent.

 

Given that we have already secured the affirmative consent of the holders of a majority of our voting securities to the Amendment, we determined that it would be a more efficient use of limited corporate resources to forego the dissemination of a proxy statement and subsequent majority vote in favor of the actions at a stockholders meeting called for such a purpose, and rather proceed through the written consent of the holders of a majority of our voting securities. Spending the additional company time, money and other resources required by the proxy and meeting approach would have been potentially wasteful and, consequently, detrimental to completing the Amendment in a manner that is timely and efficient for us and our stockholders.

 

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS ACTED UPON

 

No director, officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, officer of nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, resulting from the matters described herein which is not shared by all other stockholders pro rata in accordance with their respective interest. No director has informed the Company that he intends to oppose any of the corporate actions to be taken by the Company as set forth in this Notice and Information Statement.

 

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

 

Only one copy of this Information Statement is being delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address, unless the Company has received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. The Company 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 document was delivered. A stockholder may mail a written request to XcelMobility, Inc., Attention: Secretary, 2225 East Bayshore Road, Suite 200, Palo Alto, CA 94303 to request:

 

·—a separate copy of this Information Statement;

 

·—a separate copy of Information Statements in the future; or

 

·—delivery of a single copy of Information Statements, if such stockholder is receiving multiple copies of those documents.
