INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement is being furnished to our shareholders (Atlantica, Inc., a Utah corporation [the “Company,” “Atlantica,” “we”, “our” or “us” or words of similar import]), regarding a one for 10 pro rata reverse split of our outstanding common stock (Proposal 1) and the adoption of Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (Proposal 2), to be voted upon at a special meeting of our shareholders (the “Meeting”). The Meeting is to be held at 4685 South Highland Drive, #202, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84117, on January 26, 2007, at 11:00 o’clock a.m., Mountain Standard Time. The accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and this Information Statement are first being mailed to our shareholders on or about January 5, 2007.

 

The amendments increase our authorized shares and add a class of preferred stock with the rights, privileges and preferences to be set by our Board of Directors (revised Article IV); and authorize our shareholders to take action by written consent without a meeting under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (" Utah Law") ( new Article V). These amendments also eliminate a recitation of specific purposes and powers that we possess in former Articles III and X in favor of a general statement that we can engage in any lawful activities that corporations organized under Utah Law can lawfully engage in (revised Article III); deleted the names of the initial incorporators and subscribers, and references to the fact that treasury stock shall be used for the Company’s benefit, as the Board of Directors may determine, for the benefit of our previously conducted mining operations (former Article V); deleted former Article VI that referenced subscriptions and mining contracts related to our previously conducted mining operations; deleted former Article VII that recited information about the number of directors that could be referenced in our Bylaws, the filling of vacancies on our Board, the place or places where meetings of our Board may be held, clauses about common or interested transactions with our directors and a summary of rights of indemnification under Utah Law that are already covered by Utah Law without reference; and deleted former Articles VIII, IX, X, XI, XII and XIII, that covered matters already allowed under Utah Law and that respectively related to what constitutes a quorum of directors; where meetings of shareholders may be held; recognition of record owners of the Company’s securities; that the private property of shareholders shall not be subject to claims of liabilities of the Company; and that the securities of the Company shall not be assessable. For a more complete description of these changes, see the caption “REASONS FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION” below; and Appendix A hereto, which is a copy of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that specifically and clearly delineates the foregoing changes.

 

APPROXIMATE DATE OF MAILING: January 5, 2007.

 

These resolutions were unanimously adopted by our Board of Directors; and one of our directors, Duane S. Jenson, and his son, Travis T. Jenson, who collectively beneficially own 16,000,683 shares of our common stock or approximately 65.1% of our outstanding voting securities (the “Majority Stockholders”), have agreed to and intend to vote in favor of the Proposals at the Meeting. No other votes are required or necessary to adopt these Proposals, and none are being solicited hereunder. See the captions “Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof” and “Vote Required for Approval of Reverse Split and Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,” herein. We are required to have the Proposals submitted to the Meeting because we cannot currently take action written by consent unless all of our shareholders sign the written consent, which is not presently feasible, considering the number of shareholders that we currently have. Taking action by written consent of less than all of our shareholders is one of the amendments that is being proposed to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. See Article V of Proposal No. 2 below.

 

 

2

Assuming the Majority Stockholders vote in favor of both Proposals, the reverse split will become effective following notice thereof to the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") and the subsequent advice from the NASD of its effectiveness, which usually takes about 10 days. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the Department of Commerce of the State of Utah immediately following any such vote at the Meeting, and will be effective on filing. The reverse split of our outstanding common stock and the amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation are the only matters covered by this Information Statement.

 

PROPOSAL No. 1

 

REVERSE SPLIT OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK

 

Our Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a pro rata reverse split of our outstanding common stock on the basis of one share for every 10 shares owned, to be effective, if approved as anticipated, approximately 10 days from advice thereof to the NASD. In connection with the reverse split, we will retain our current par value of $0.0001 per share, while making appropriate adjustments to our additional paid in capital and stated capital accounts. All fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse split is not subject to a mandatory exchange of stock certificates. Depending upon the number of shares issued in rounding up to the nearest whole share, the 24,581,458 currently outstanding shares of our common stock will be reduced to approximately 2,458,146 shares.

 

The following are examples of the effect that the reverse split will have on your stock ownership, if approved: If you currently own 100 shares, you will own 10 shares following the effective date of the reverse split; if you currently own 1,000 shares, you will own 100 shares following the effective date of the reverse split; and similarly, if you currently own 10,000 shares, you will own 1,000 shares following the effective date of the reverse split, and so on. All shareholders’ holdings will be affected, pro rata, as a result of the reverse split.

 

If the reverse split is approved, we will apply for a new Cusip Number; and we will be assigned a new trading symbol for the OTC Bulletin Board by the NASD (“OTCBB”); our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB only. In those events, we will disseminate a Press Release and timely file an 8-K Current Report with the Securities and Exchange Commission in those respects.

 

All shareholders are advised that there is no need to send in their respective stock certificate(s) and incur the transfer agent’s $20 fee to exchange their shares until they wish to dispose of their respective shares; customarily, no fees are charged by a broker/dealer for transfer fees when stock certificates are deposited with a broker/dealer because the broker/dealer usually transfers the stock certificates that it receives to its Depository Trust Company account, as a matter of course. This may allow shareholders to avoid the transfer fees now and in the future. The Company’s records will reflect that the reverse split is effective on each current stock certificate number(s) and that the Cusip Number that appears on each shareholders’ current stock certificate(s) will entitle each stockholder to the new post-split shares or any future capital adjustments that are made while retaining possession of their respective stock certificate(s); however, if the shareholders purchase or sell shares in the Company after the effective date of the reverse split set by the NASD, they will be buying or selling post-split shares.

 

If any stockholder desires to transfer their respective shares if and when the reverse split is approved, they are advised to (I) forward their respective stock certificates to Interwest Transfer Company (“Interwest Transfer”), our transfer and registrar agent, whose address is 1981 East Murray Holladay Road, Salt Lake City, Utah 84117; (ii) include a required transfer fee of $20 per each free trading stock certificate tendered, and $75 per each stock certificate that is imprinted with a “restricted” legend, that must be paid by the stockholder to Interwest Transfer; and (iii) that no signature or Medallion signature guarantee will be required on any stock certificate where the stock certificate being tendered is being transferred into the same name.

 

REASONS FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE REVERSE SPLIT

 

Our current business plan provides that we will attempt to acquire another business or entity through an acquisition, reorganization or a merger. Our Board of Directors believes that the reverse split will better assist us in facilitating the ease of an acquisition, reorganization or a merger involving our Company.

 

3

Our Company currently has 25,000,000 shares authorized, with 24,581,458 shares being currently issued and outstanding. Therefore, if we are able to find an acceptable candidate for an acquisition, reorganization or a merger, we would have no available shares to issue to complete the transaction. Further, in these types of transactions, where a company like ours has no assets of any kind, the number of shares usually retained by the shareholders of the non-operating shell company is normally a small percentage of the total post-closing outstanding shares; the reverse split will reduce the current shareholders’ holdings to an estimated amount of what those holdings might be at the closing of any potential acquisition, reorganization or merger transaction, based upon our Board of Director’s best estimate, considering similar transactions. Though there is no assurance that such would be the case, our Board of Directors believes that the adoption of the reverse split will make us a better candidate for an acquisition, reorganization or merger transaction.

 

PROPOSAL No. 2

 

The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation leave the current name and perpetual existence (Articles I and II, respectively); replace the enumerated purposes and powers with the general statement that any lawful business may be pursued (Article III); indicate that (i) we are increasing the authorized capital to 60,000,000 shares; (iii) add to the authorized shares 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with the rights, privileges and preferences to be set by our Board of Directors (Article IV); added a provision that allows us to take action by written consent of less than all of our shareholders (Article V); deleted, as authorized by statute, the names of our incorporators and the names and number of our initial directors; deleted by amendment, a description of property and claims, the designation of a quorum, the place of meetings, the lengthy enumeration of the purposes for which the corporation was formed, information about the ownership of registered shares, information about shareholders not being liable for debts of the corporation and an article regarding amending our Articles (Articles V, VI, VII, VIII, XI, X, XI, XII, XIII and XIV respectively). See Appendix A hereto, which is a copy of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that specifically and clearly delineates the foregoing changes.

 

The following is the full text of our proposed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation:

4

The designations, voting rights, amounts of preference upon distribution of assets, rates of dividends, premiums of redemption, conversion rights and other variations, if any, the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, of the preferred stock, and of each series thereof, shall be such as are fixed by the Board of Directors, the authority so to do being hereby expressly granted, as stated and expressed in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of such series of preferred stock (a “Director’s Resolution”). The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each such series of preferred stock shall include, but shall not be limited to, determination of the following:

 

1. The distinctive serial designation and number of shares comprising each such series;

 

2. The rate of dividends, if any, on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be non-cumulative, cumulative to the extent earned or cumulative (and, if cumulative, from which date or dates), whether dividends shall be payable in cash, property or rights, or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, and the relative priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series over shares of any other series;

 

3.

Whether the shares of that series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of stock of any other class of the capital stock of the corporation or any other series of preferred stock of the corporation or the securities of any other entity and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange, including the rate or rates of conversion or exchange, the date or dates upon or after which or the events upon which they shall be convertible or exchangeable or at whose option they shall be convertible or exchangeable, and the method, if any, of adjusting the rates of conversion or exchange in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or similar event;

5

Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law or these Articles of Incorporation or as otherwise provided with respect to the relative rights of shares of Preferred Stock in any Director’s Resolution, all shares of common stock shall be identical and the holders of shares of common stock shall possess voting power and each share of common stock shall have one (1) vote.

 

Relative Ranking of Common Stock. The common stock is junior to the preferred stock and is subject to all of the powers, rights, privileges, preferences and priorities of the preferred stock as herein set forth and as may be stated in any Director’s Resolution.

 

ARTICLE V

 

WRITTEN CONSENT TO ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS

 

Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if one or more consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were entitled to be present and to vote.

 

END OF PROPOSED AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

REASONS FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENDED AND RESTATED

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

Exercise of Corporate Powers.

 

Our Board of Directors added this Article III to clarify our corporate power to engage in any lawful activity allowed under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act.

 

Increase in Authorized Capital.

 

Our Board of Directors believes that this Article IV will provide us with greater flexibility by increasing our authorized capital to allow us to issue up to an additional 25,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. There are no current arrangements with our Company that would result in the issuance of the additional authorized shares; however we are constantly looking for acquisitions that would be beneficial to us, and the planned change in our capitalization may be important to any discussions in this respect.

 

Taking Action by Consent of Less Than All of the Stockholders.

 

This is also an entirely new provision. Section 16-10a-704 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act requires that, for any corporation organized before the adoption of these statutes in 1992, that any action taken by less than all of the shareholders without a meeting must be approved at a meeting called for that purpose by a majority of the shareholders of any class entitled to vote at the meeting in accordance with Section 16-10a-1704(4), unless the Articles of Incorporation provided otherwise. This provision of Utah Law is not believed to be conducive to conducting the business of a publicly-held company like our Company. With the proposed amended Article IX provision, we could solicit a limited number of consents (less than 10) for a particular action requiring a vote of our shareholders to ensure its adoption without going to the expense of a proxy statement, and then advise the shareholders of the approval and effective date of the action in an information statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and then mailed to our shareholders.

 

6

Miscellaneous Deletions of Provisions in our Existing Articles of Incorporation.

 

Section 16-10a-202 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act indicates that Articles of Incorporation need only set forth the name; purpose; the number of shares authorized; any required information on classes of securities that a corporation may be authorized to issue; the name, street address and signature of the registered agent; and the name and address of each incorporator. With the exception of the deletion of former Article VI dealing with certain properties and mining claims, the other provisions that were deleted from our Articles of Incorporation related to governing our affairs that are adequately covered by the applicable provisions of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, and in almost every instance, were merely recitations of Utah Law. Former Article VI that described certain properties and mining claims in the Eagle Mining District, White Pine County, Nevada, dealt with historical company operations; and was not deemed to be applicable to the current business plans of the Company. To the best knowledge of current members of management, the contract rights in the form of subscriptions outlined therein were in fact executed and delivered to the Company, the recited consideration was paid and the deletion of this Article VI does not indicate any change in the subscription circumstances stated therein. None of these deletions is believed to have had any adverse effect on the rights of our shareholders.

 

OUTSTANDING SHARES, VOTING AND PROXIES

 

Record Date and Outstanding Shares.

 

Our Board of Directors has fixed December 14, 2006, as the record date for the determination of holders of our common stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. At the close of business on that date, there were 24,581,458 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Holders of our common stock will be entitled to one vote per share held and are not entitled to cumulative voting at the Meeting.

 

Quorum and Voting.  

 

The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting is required to constitute a quorum for the purpose of considering Proposal Nos. 1 and 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be considered represented at the Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum.

 

As long as there is a quorum of stockholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, only the vote of a majority of that quorum is required to adopt Proposal No. 1. For Proposal No. 2, Section 16-10a-1003 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act provides that every amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of a corporation shall first be adopted by the resolution of the Board of Directors and then be subject to the approval of persons owning a majority of the securities entitled to vote on any such amendment.

 

Our Majority Shareholders have agreed to and intend to vote in favor of the Proposals at the Meeting. No other votes are required or necessary to adopt these Proposals, and none are being solicited hereunder. See the captions “Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof” and “Vote Required for Approval of Reverse Split and Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation,” herein. We are required to have the Proposals submitted to the Meeting because we cannot currently take action written consent unless all of our shareholders sign the written consent, which is not presently feasible, considering the number of shareholders that we currently have. Taking action by written consent of less than all of our shareholders is one of the amendments that are being proposed to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. See Article V of Proposal No. 2 above.

 

DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS

 

There are no dissenters’ rights applicable with respect to the effecting of the reverse split or the restatement of our Articles of Incorporation.

 

 

7

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

 

No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the effecting of the reverse split which is not shared by all other shareholders.

 

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

 

Voting Securities.  

 

The securities that would have been entitled to vote if a meeting was required to have been held regarding the reverse split of our outstanding common stock consist of shares of our common stock. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote. The number of outstanding shares of our common stock at the close of business on December 14, 2006, the record date for determining our shareholders who would have been entitled to notice of and to vote on the reverse split and the restatement of our Articles of Incorporation, was 24,581,458 shares.

 

Security Ownership of Principal Holders and Management.  

 

The following table sets forth certain information as of December 14, 2006, regarding current beneficial ownership of the shares of our common stock by (I) each person known by us to own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (ii) each of our executive officers and directors, and (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group. Except as noted, each person has sole voting and sole investment or dispositive power with respect to the shares shown. The information presented is based upon 24,581,458 outstanding shares of our common stock.

Changes in Control.

 

There are no present contractual arrangements or pledges of our securities that may result in a change in control of our Company; however we are constantly looking for acquisitions that would be beneficial to us, and, based upon our limited resources and assets and our current liabilities, any such transaction that was completed would no doubt result in a change in control of our Company.

 

VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL OF REVERSE SPLIT AND AMENDED AND RESTATED

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

As long as there is a quorum of shareholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, only the vote of a majority of that quorum is required to adopt Proposal No. 1.

 

Section 16-10a-1003 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act provides that every amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of a corporation shall first be adopted by the resolution of the Board of Directors and then be subject to the approval of persons owning a majority of the securities entitled to vote on any such amendment.

 

Resolutions to effect the proposed amendments were unanimously adopted by our Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholders have agreed to vote for both Proposals.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

Our Board of Directors is not aware of any business other than Proposal Nos. 1 and 2 that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting.

 

NOTICE

 

THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS OF OUR COMPANY HAVE AGREED TO VOTE AT THE MEETING FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE REVERSE SPLIT OF THE OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AND FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. ASSUMING THEY VOTE IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL NOS. 1 AND 2, NO FURTHER CONSENTS, VOTES OR PROXIES ARE NEEDED, AND NONE ARE REQUESTED.
