Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year..

On April 16, 2020, pursuant to the authorization and approval provided by the stockholders of Camber Energy, Inc. (“we”, “us” or the “Company”) at the Meeting discussed below under Item 5.07, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase its authorized shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, from 5 million shares to 25 million shares, which filing became effective on the same date (the “Amendment”). A copy of the Amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated into this Item 5.03 by reference.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On April 16, 2020, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, an aggregate of 3,749,615 shares of voting stock, or 74.99% of our 5,000,000 total outstanding voting shares as of March 2, 2020, the record date for the Meeting (the “Record Date”), were present at or were voted at the Meeting, constituting a quorum. The following proposals were voted on at the Meeting (as described in greater detail in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2020 (the “Proxy”)), with the results of such voting as set forth below. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to such terms in the Proxy and this Form 8-K should be read in connection with the Proxy.

 

Proposal 1     For   Against   Abstain*  

 

To approve the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 5,000,000 to 25,000,000.   3,196,890   496,875   55,850  

 

Proposal 3     For   Against   Abstain*  

 

 To approve the issuance of such number of shares of common stock exceeding 19.99% of our outstanding common stock, issuable upon conversion of the 525 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, including shares issuable for dividends and conversion premiums thereon sold and agreed to be sold, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement entered into with an institutional investor on February 3, 2020 (the “February 2020 Stock Purchase Agreement”), and to approve the terms of such February 2020 Stock Purchase Agreement.   3,197,641   493,899   58,076  

 

Proposal 3     For   Against   Abstain*  

 

To consider and vote upon a Proposal to authorize our Board, in its discretion, to adjourn the Meeting to another place, or a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Proposals listed above at the time of the Meeting.   3,185,212   504,756   59,648  

 

* There were no Broker Non-Votes on these proposals.

 

     
 

  

As a result of the above voting, proposal 1, which required the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Meeting, was validly approved by the Company’s stockholders and proposals 2 and 3, which each required the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote, were validly approved by the Company’s stockholders. There were no broker non-votes cast at the Meeting.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As of the close of business on April 16, 2020, the Company had 4,999,999 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the increase in authorized shares of common stock in connection with the filing of the Amendment, the Company now has a total of 20,000,001 shares of common stock available for future issuances. Such shares are available for issuance from time to time in transactions approved by the Board of Directors, and for issuances of shares of common stock upon conversion of outstanding shares of our Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), which are in the sole discretion of the Series C Preferred Stock holder.

As of April 16, 2020, we had 2,819 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, which we estimate are currently convertible into approximately 82 million shares of common stock (when including shares issuable as conversion premiums on the Series C Preferred Stock, and based on the current trading price of the Company’s common stock), which number increases as the trading value of our common stock decreases. The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock will result in immediate and substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. Although the holder of such Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Holder”) may not receive shares of common stock exceeding 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock immediately after affecting such conversion, this restriction does not prevent the Series C Holders from receiving shares up to the 9.99% limit, selling those shares, and then receiving the rest of the shares it is due, in one or more tranches, while still staying below the 9.99% limit. Additionally, the continued sale of shares issuable upon successive conversions will likely create significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the Series C Holder sells material amounts of our common stock over time and/or in a short period of time. This could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock and in turn result in the Series C Holders receiving an ever increasing number of additional shares of common stock upon conversion of its securities, and adjustments thereof, which in turn will likely lead to further dilution, reductions in the exercise/conversion price of the Series C Holders’ securities and even more downward pressure on our common stock, which could lead to our common stock becoming devalued. In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock will represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. As conversions of Series C Preferred Stock and sales of such converted shares take place, the price of our common stock will likely decline in value.
