Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

On April 16, 2015, we issued a total of four hundred thousand (400,000) shares of our newly designated Series A Preferred Stock to members of our board of directors.

 

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The investor represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investor was given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification of Rights of Security Holders

 

On April 15, 2015, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State. The Certificate of Amendment authorized ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors and a majority of our shareholders approved the Certificate of Amendment.

 

A copy of the Certificate of Amendment that was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 15, 2015 is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On April 15, 2015, pursuant to Article IV of our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors voted to designate a class of preferred stock entitled Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of up to one million (1,000,000) shares, par value $0.001. Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to quarterly dividends on 2% of our earnings before interest, taxes and amortization. The dividends are payable in cash or common stock. The holders will also have a liquidation preference on the state value of $0.02 per share plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The holders are further entitled to have us redeem their Series A Preferred Stock for three shares of common stock in the event of a change of control and they are entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of forty-five (45) votes for each share held.

 

The rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock are defined in the relevant Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 15, 2015, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.2, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Section 1.     Authorized Shares.     The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is one hundred and ten million (110,000,000) shares, consisting of two classes to be designated, respectively, "Common Stock" and "Preferred Stock," with all of such shares having a par value of $.001 per share.

The total number of shares of Preferred Stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is ten million (10,000,000) shares. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series, each series to be appropriately designated by a distinguishing letter or title, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, of the Preferred Stock shall hereinafter be prescribed by resolution of the board of directors pursuant to Section 3 of this Article IV.

 

Section 2.     Common Stock.   

  

(a)     Dividend Rate.     Subject to the rights of holders of any Preferred Stock having preference as to dividends and except as otherwise provided by these Articles of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (hereinafter, the " Articles ") or the Nevada Revised Statues (hereinafter, the “ NRS ”), the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of assets legally available therefor.

 

(b)     Voting Rights.     Except as otherwise provided by the NRS, the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock. No holder of shares of Common Stock shall have the right to cumulate votes.

 

(c)     Liquidation Rights.     In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, subject to the prior rights of holders of Preferred Stock to share ratably in the Corporation's assets, the Common Stock and any shares of Preferred Stock which are not entitled to any preference in liquidation shall share equally and ratably in the Corporation's assets available for distribution after giving effect to any liquidation preference of any shares of Preferred Stock. A merger, conversion, exchange or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other person or sale or transfer of all or any part of the assets of the Corporation (which shall not in fact result in the liquidation of the Corporation and the distribution of assets to stockholders) shall not be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.

 

(d)     No Conversion, Redemption, or Preemptive Rights.     The holders of Common Stock shall not have any conversion, redemption, or preemptive rights.

 

(e)     Consideration for Shares.     The Common Stock authorized by this Article shall be issued for such consideration as shall be fixed, from time to time, by the board of directors.

Section 3.     Preferred Stock.    

 

(a)     Designation.     The board of directors is hereby vested with the authority from time to time to provide by resolution for the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series not exceeding the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized by these Articles, and to prescribe with respect to each such series the voting powers, if any, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions relating thereto, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: the voting rights relating to the shares of Preferred Stock of any series (which voting rights, if any, may be full or limited, may vary over time, and may be applicable generally or only upon any stated fact or event); the rate of dividends (which may be cumulative or noncumulative), the condition or time for payment of dividends and the preference or relation of such dividends to dividends payable on any other class or series of capital stock; the rights of holders of Preferred Stock of any series in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation; the rights, if any, of holders of Preferred Stock of any series to convert or exchange such shares of Preferred Stock of such series for shares of any other class or series of capital stock or for any other securities, property, or assets of the Corporation or any subsidiary (including the determination of the price or prices or the rate or rates applicable to such rights to convert or exchange and the adjustment thereof, the time or times during which the right to convert or exchange shall be applicable, and the time or times during which a particular price or rate shall be applicable); whether the shares of any series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to redemption by the Corporation and if subject to redemption, the times, prices, rates, adjustments and other terms and conditions of such redemption. The powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights may be made dependent upon any fact or event which may be ascertained outside the Articles or the resolution if the manner in which the fact or event may operate on such series is stated in the Articles or resolution. As used in this section "fact or event" includes, without limitation, the existence of a fact or occurrence of an event, including, without limitation, a determination or action by a person, government, governmental agency or political subdivision of a government. The board of directors is further authorized to increase or decrease (but not below the number of such shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series. Unless the board of directors provides to the contrary in the resolution which fixes the characteristics of a series of Preferred Stock, neither the consent by series, or otherwise, of the holders of any outstanding Preferred Stock nor the consent of the holders of any outstanding Common Stock shall be required for the issuance of any new series of Preferred Stock regardless of whether the rights and preferences of the new series of Preferred Stock are senior or superior, in any way, to the outstanding series of Preferred Stock or the Common Stock.

 

(b)     Certificate.     Before the Corporation shall issue any shares of Preferred Stock of any series, a certificate of designation setting forth a copy of the resolution or resolutions of the board of directors, and establishing the voting powers, designations, preferences, the relative, participating, optional, or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations, and restrictions, if any, relating to the shares of Preferred Stock of such series, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock of such series authorized by the board of directors to be issued shall be made and signed by an officer of the corporation and filed in the manner prescribed by the NRS.

 

Section 4.     Non-Assessment of Stock.     The capital stock of the Corporation, after the amount of the subscription price has been fully paid, shall not be assessable for any purpose, and no stock issued as fully paid shall ever be assessable or assessed, and the Articles shall not be amended in this particular. No stockholder of the Corporation is individually liable for the debts or liabilities of the Corporation.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

 

OF

 

STRATEAN, INC.

 

Pursuant to Section 78.1955 of the

 

Nevada Revised Statutes

______________________________________

 

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

 

On behalf of Stratean, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Corporation ”), the undersigned hereby certifies that the following resolution has been duly adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “ Board ”):

 

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board by the provisions of the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (the “ Articles of Incorporation ”), there hereby is created, out of the ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation authorized by Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation (“ Preferred Stock ”), a series of Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of one million (1,000,000) shares, which series shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions:

 

The specific powers, preferences, rights and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

1.  Designation; Rank . This series of Preferred Stock shall be designated and known as “Series A Preferred Stock.” The number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock shall be one million (1,000,000) shares. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights on liquidation, winding up and dissolution, rank pari passu to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”).

 

2.  Dividends . The holders (each a “ Holder ” and collectively, the “ Holders ”) shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, a quarterly dividend of 2% of the Corporation’s earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (“ EBITA ”) under the generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be payable on a quarterly basis beginning at the end of the Corporation’s fiscal quarter following the original issue date (“ Issuance Date ”). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable, at the Corporation's option, in (a) cash or (b) shares of the Corporation's Common Stock or a combination thereof.

 

3.  Liquidation Preference .

 

(a) In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation (a “ Liquidation ”), whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Corporation, cash in an amount equal to $0.02 (the “ Stated Value ”) for each one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock plus the aggregate amount of accumulated but unpaid dividends for each one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock. If, upon the Liquidation, the assets to be distributed among the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such Holders of the full Stated Value for their shares plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, then the assets of the Corporation allocated for distribution to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be distributed pro rata among the holders of all the corporate stock.

 

(b) A sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets or an acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, a reorganization, consolidated or merger) that results in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of the Corporation (a “ Change in Control Event ”), shall not be deemed to be a Liquidation for purposes of this Designation.

2
 

4.  Redemption Right .

 

(a)  Rights upon Change of Control Event . No later than three (3) business day prior to the consummation of a Change of Control Event (as defined above), the Corporation shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile, e-mail or otherwise to each Holder (a “ Change of Control Notice ”). At any time during the period beginning after a Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and one (1) business day prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Event, such Holder may require the Corporation to redeem all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such Holder on the date of consummation of such Change of Control Event by delivering written notice thereof to the Corporation (a “ Change of Control Redemption Notice ”). If a Holder timely delivers a Change of Control Redemption Notice, each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Holder on the date of consummation of such Change of Control Event that is subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 4 from such Holder shall be redeemed by the Corporation in an amount equal to three (3) shares of Common Stock (the “ Change of Control Redemption Amount ”). The Corporation shall make payment of the Change of Control Redemption Amount within five (5) business days immediately following the consummation of such Change of Control Event.

 

(b)  Reservation of Stock . The Corporation shall at all times when any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the redemption of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the redemption of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized by unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

(c)  Income Taxes . The converting Holder shall pay any and all income and other non-income taxes that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(d)  No Impairment . The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under Section 4 of this Designation by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in carrying out of all the provision of Section 4 of this Designation and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holders against impairment.

 

5.  Voting . The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to cast forty-five (45) votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of the Corporation’s common stock, including the election of directors, and all other matters as required by law. There is no right to cumulative voting in the election of directors. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with all other classes and series of common stock of the Corporation as a single class on all actions to be taken by the common stock holders of the Corporation except to the extent that voting as a separate class or series is required by law.

 

6.  Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver . No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

 

7.  Transfer of Series A Preferred Stock . A Holder may transfer some or all of its shares of Series A Preferred Stock without the consent of the Corporation so long as such transfer complies with all applicable securities laws.

 

8.  Amendment . This Certificate of Designation or any provision hereof may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, by a majority of the Holders, voting separate as a single class, and with such other stockholder approval, if any, as may then be required pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes or the Articles of Incorporation.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned has signed this Designation this 15th day of April 2015.
