NEXTMART, INC.

MAXIMUM OFFERING AMOUNT: $20,000,000

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES OFFERED HEREBY: 200,000,000

 

This is a public offering (the “Offering”) of securities of NEXTMART, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”). We are offering a maximum of Two Hundred Million Shares (200,000,000) shares (the “Maximum Offering”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) at an offering price to be determined after qualification within the range of Five Cents ($0.05) to Fifteen Cents ($0.15) per share with a target offering price within this filing of ten cents ($0.10) per share (the “Shares”) pursuant to Tier 1 of Regulation A. This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no minimum number of Shares that must be sold by us for this offering to close; thus, we may receive no or minimal proceeds from this Offering. This Offering will expire on the first to occur of (a) the sale of all 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, (b) March 31, 2023, or (c) when the Company’s board of directors elects to terminate the Offering (as applicable, the “Termination Date”). There is no escrow established for this Offering. We will hold closings upon the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company. If, on the initial closing date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until the earlier of: (i) the sale of the Maximum Offering or (ii) the Termination Date. There is no aggregate minimum requirement for the Offering to become effective, therefore, we reserve the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering in accordance with the Use of Proceeds section of this Offering Circular (See section “Use of Proceeds”) and such other uses as more specifically set forth in this offering circular (“Offering Circular”). We expect to commence the sale of the Shares as of the date on which the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part (the “Offering Statement”) is qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Purchasers of the Shares will not be entitled to a refund and could lose their entire investment.

 

The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCPINK”) under the symbol “NXMR,” and qualified Pink Current Information Tier. For further information, see “Plan of Distribution - Exchange Listing” of this Offering Circular.

 

On March 10, 2023, the closing price of our common stock was $0.0086 per share.

 

Such Offering price and our valuation was determined by management in order to attract investors in this Offering. The valuation of our currently outstanding shares of Common Stock and the $0.01 per share Offering Price of the Common Stock has been based upon the trading price and volume of trading of our Common Stock on the OTCPNK exchange and is not based on book value, assets, earnings or any other recognizable standard of value. (See Determination of Offering Price)

 

In this Offering Circular, unless otherwise noted or unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to the activities of and the assets and liabilities of the business and operations of NEXTMART, INC.

 

No sale may be made to you in this offering, if you do not satisfy the investor suitability standards described in this Offering Circular under Plan of Distribution-State Law Exemptions and Investor Suitability Standards. Before making any representation that you satisfy the established investor suitability standards, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A.

This Offering will start on or immediately prior to the date on which the SEC initially qualifies this Offering Statement (the “Qualification Date”) and will terminate on the Termination Date (the “Offering Period”).

 

Procedures for Subscribing

 

If you decide to subscribe for our Common Stock shares in this Offering, you should:

     
  1. Electronically receive, review, execute, and deliver to us a subscription agreement; and

 

     
  2. Deliver funds directly by wire or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the Company’s bank account designated in the Company’s subscription agreement.

 

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. We shall only deliver such subscription agreement upon request after a potential investor has had ample opportunity to review this Offering Circular.

 

Right to Reject Subscriptions

 

After we receive your complete, executed subscription agreement and the funds required under the subscription agreement have been transferred to our designated account, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

 

Acceptance of Subscriptions

 

Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the shares subscribed at closing. Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.

 

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, non-accredited, investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser's revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser's most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds, which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser's annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

 

For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the shares.

 

In order to purchase shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to the company's satisfaction, that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

Forum Selection Provision

 

The subscription agreement includes a forum selection provision that requires that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subscribers bring any claims against the Company based on the subscription agreement in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Pennsylvania. The forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in a judicial forum that they believe is favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The Company has adopted the provision since Florida has a well-developed framework for contract law and seeks to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows our officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of the company. The foregoing notwithstanding, if there is an applicable law that does not permit such forum selection (e.g., the Exchange Act or the Securities Act), then the forum selection provision would not be permissible and, therefore, not applicable. We hereby confirm that the forum selection provision in our subscription agreement does not apply to federal securities law claims.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the context of this Offering Circular.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IS IN SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABSENT OBTAINING ADEQUATE NEW DEBT OR EQUITY FINANCINGS.

 

Our continued existence is dependent upon us obtaining adequate working capital to fund all of our planned operations. Working capital limitations continue to impinge on our day-to-day operations, thus contributing to continued operating losses. Thus, if we are unable to raise funds to fund the assembling and commercialization of our acquisitions solutions, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and you will lose your investment. We have incurred accumulated operating losses since inception and have working capital deficits at the end of 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018. If the Company is able to raise the necessary funds to execute its business plan or if the Company earns any revenues from its business operations, some of these funds will have to be used to pay off the outstanding accounts payable and debt of the Company.

 

Our independent accounting firm has included in its report the qualification that these conditions raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The report also states that the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS OR CEASE OPERATIONS ALTOGETHER.

 

We need additional capital to fund our operations and we may not be able to obtain such capital, which would cause us to limit or cease our operations entirely. The conditions of the global credit markets may adversely affect our ability to raise capital in the future. If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or at all, we may not be able to execute our business plans and may have to modify them accordingly or even suspend them.

 

Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate favorable terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital. Any future capital investments will dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

 

LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL CRITICAL FOR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS

 

Our success depends upon the continued contributions of our executive officers and/or key employees, particularly with respect to providing the critical management decisions and contacts necessary to manage acquisitions, product development, marketing, and growth within our industry. Competition for qualified personnel can be intense and there are a limited number of people with the requisite knowledge and experience. Under these conditions, we could be unable to attract and retain these personnel. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows.

 

 

 

 9 

 

 

WE EXPECT SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION FOR OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

 

Some of our competitors and potential competitors are well established and have substantially greater financial, research and development, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than we have today. If these larger competitors decide to focus on the acquisition of service and water technology companies, they could have the manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities to complete research, development and commercialization of these products more quickly and effectively than we can.  As of today, there can also be no assurance that current and future competitors will not develop new or enhanced technical services technologies or more cost-effective systems.

 

INTERNATIONAL REGULATION MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PLANNED PRODUCT SALES.

 

As a part of our marketing strategy, we plan to market and sell our technical services and technological solutions internationally. In addition to regulation by the U.S. government, our technological solutions will be subject to environmental and safety regulations in each country in which we market and sell. We anticipate that regulations will vary from country to country and will vary from those of the United States. The difference in regulations and the laws of foreign countries may be significant and, in order to comply with the laws of these foreign countries, our suppliers may have to implement manufacturing changes or alter product design, or we may need to modify our marketing efforts. Any changes in our business practices or products will require response to the laws of foreign countries and may result in additional expense to the Company and either reduce or delay product sales.

 

UNPREDICTABLE EVENTS, SUCH AS THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK, AND ASSOCIATED BUSINESS DISRUPTIONS COULD SERIOUSLY HARM OUR FUTURE REVENUES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION, DELAY OUR OPERATIONS, INCREASE OUR COSTS AND EXPENSES, AND AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE CAPITAL.

 

Unpredictable events, such as extreme weather conditions, acts of God and medical epidemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control.  In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization has since declared the outbreak to constitute a pandemic. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers and our sales cycles, impact on our customer, employee or industry events, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. Additionally, COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the global financial markets, which could impact our ability to raise additional capital. There is also a risk that other countries or regions may be less effective at containing COVID-19, or it may be more difficult to contain if the outbreak reaches a larger population or broader geography, in which case the risks described herein could be elevated significantly.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE SHARES WAS ARBITRARILY DETERMINED, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SHARES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE COMPANY, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.

 

Our Shares are currently listed on OTC Markets trading under the symbol NXMR, the offering price of $0.10 per share for the Shares of Common Stock was arbitrarily selected. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of the Company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the Shares.

 

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES FOR MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID OR AT ALL.

 

Our stock price may be subject to significant volatility, and you may not be able to sell shares of Common Stock at or above the price you paid for them or at all. The trading price of our Common Stock may be subject to fluctuations in in response to various factors.

 

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE “PENNY STOCK” RULES WHICH WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC"), has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our Common Stock may be less than $5.00 per share and therefore we will be considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. These rules limit the ability of broker-dealers to solicit purchases of our Common Stock and therefore reduce the liquidity of the public market for our shares should one develop.

 

OUR SECURITIES ARE CURRENTLY TRADED ON THE OTCMARKETS®, WHICH MAY NOT PROVIDE AS MUCH LIQUIDITY FOR OUR INVESTORS AS MORE RECOGNIZED SENIOR EXCHANGES SUCH AS THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET OR OTHER NATIONAL OR REGIONAL EXCHANGES.

 

Our Common Stock is currently listed on the OTCMarkets®, with a trading symbol of NXMR. The OTC Markets are inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on the OTC Markets are usually thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets. Quotes for stocks included on the OTC Markets are not listed in newspapers. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTC Markets may be difficult to obtain and holders of our securities may be unable to resell their securities at or near their original acquisition price, or at any price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 11 

 

 

WE MAY NOT SATISFY NASDAQ’S INITIAL QUOTATION STANDARDS AND, EVEN IF WE DO, WE MAY BE REMOVED FROM QUOTATION IN THE FUTURE.

 

We hope to eventually apply to quote our Common Stock on NASDAQ. Our Common Stock will not commence trading on NASDAQ until a number of conditions are met, including that we have raised the minimum amount of offering proceeds necessary for us to meet the initial quotation requirements of NASDAQ. There is no guarantee that we will be able to meet all such requirements.

 

In the event we are able to quote our Common Stock on NASDAQ, we will be required to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis in order to continue the quotation of our Common Stock. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our Common Stock may be subject to removal from quotation. If our Common Stock were to no longer be quoted on NASDAQ and we could not list or quote our Common Stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.

 

FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY (“FINRA”) SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER’S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

FINRA has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer before recommending an investment to a customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares of Common Stock, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares of Common Stock, and thereby depress our price per share of Common Stock.

 

BECAUSE DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS CURRENTLY AND FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL NXMR, IT IS NOT LIKELY THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ELECT DIRECTORS OR HAVE ANY SAY IN THE POLICIES OF NXMR.

 

Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and all other matters requiring shareholder approval will be decided by majority vote. The directors and officers of NXMR beneficially own approximately 80% of the current voting rights with the CEO, COO and the lead investor holding the voting control Series A Preferred Shares. Due to such significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management. Mr. Donald Keer (CEO) and Ms. Kathryn Gavin (Director) hold all of the Series A Preferred Shares equally, 1,000,000 shares each, which are the voting control block.

 

In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our officers and directors, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

 

 

 

 

 

 12 

 

 

SINCE WE INTEND TO RETAIN ANY EARNINGS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BUSINESS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, YOU WILL LIKELY NOT RECEIVE ANY DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

 

A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR SHARES WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR SALE AND THEIR SALE OR POTENTIAL SALE MAY DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

Sales of a significant number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could harm the market price of our Common Stock. This Offering Circular relates to the sale of up to 1,00,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, which represents approximately 1.43 times our current issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. As additional shares of our Common Stock become available for resale in the public market pursuant to this offering, and otherwise, the supply of our Common Stock will increase, which could decrease its price.

 

AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK IS EXTREMELY SPECULATIVE AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE OF ANY RETURN ON ANY SUCH INVESTMENT.

 

Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Tier maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “NXMR”; however, an investment in the Company’s Common Stock is extremely speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment. The market price of our Common Stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market and other factors, many of which we have little or no control over. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our Common Stock, regardless of our actual or projected performance.

 

AS AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY” UNDER THE JOBS ACT, WE ARE PERMITTED TO RELY ON EXEMPTIONS FROM CERTAIN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

  · Have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

  · Comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the consolidated financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

  · Submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency”; and

 

  · Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 102 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our consolidated financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and the price of our securities may be more volatile.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

OUR OFFERING DIFFERS SIGNIFICANTLY FROM AN UNDERWRITTEN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

 

This is not an underwritten initial public offering. This listing differs from an underwritten initial public offering in several significant ways, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  · There are no underwriters. Consequently, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery;

 

  · There can be no assurance that we will be able to stay current with OTC Bulletin Board Pink Current Information requirements;

 

  · There may be low trading volume of our Common Stock limiting their liquidity;

 

  · We are not currently working with a market maker, therefore is no underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares to help stabilize, maintain, or affect the public price of our Common Stock;

 

  · Given that there will be no underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares or otherwise underwriters in engaging in stabilizing transactions, there could be greater volatility in the public price of our Common Stock during the period immediately following qualification of this Offering; and

 

  · We will not conduct a traditional “roadshow” with underwriters prior to the qualification of this Offering. As a result, there may not be efficient price discovery with respect to our ordinary shares or sufficient demand among investors immediately after our listing, which could result in a more volatile public price of our ordinary shares.

 

Such differences from an underwritten initial public offering could result in a volatile market price for our Common Stock and uncertain trading volume and may adversely affect your ability to sell your Common Stock.

 

THE PUBLIC PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE AND COULD FOLLOWING A SALE DECLINE SIGNIFICANTLY AND RAPIDLY

 

As this Offering is taking place via a process that is not an underwritten initial public offering, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery with respect to the opening trades on securities exchange markets. Following this Offering, the public price of our Common Stock on the OTCPNK exchange may lead to price volatility.

 

 

 

 

 14 

 

 

NO MINIMUM CAPITALIZATION

 

We do not have a minimum capitalization and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. It is possible we may only raise a minimum amount of capital, which could leave us with insufficient capital to operate our business segments, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A LISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

To maintain our listing on the OTCPNK exchange, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate the maintenance requirements for continued listing of our Common Stock, our Common Stock may be delisted. In addition, our board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our Common Stock from the OTCPNK Market may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common Stock. In addition, in order to maintain our listing, we will be required to, among other things, file our regular quarterly reports on otcmarkets.com. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no guarantee that such amendment will be qualified promptly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification amendment may cause a delay in the trading of offering Shares. For all of the foregoing reasons, you may experience a delay between the closing of your purchase of shares of our Common Stock and the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock. In addition, the delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.

 

There may be significantly less trading volume and analyst coverage of, and significantly less investor interest in, our Common Stock, which may lead to lower trading prices for our Common Stock.

 

THIS OFFERING HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS

 

We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision to purchase our Shares, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Shares.

 

THERE HAS BEEN NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK PRIOR TO THIS OFFERIN, AND AN ACTIVE MARKET IN WHICH INVESTORS CAN RESELL THEIR SHARES MAY NOT DEVELOP

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this Offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market price of our Common Stock. The initial offering price of our Common Stock in this offering is based on a number of factors, including market conditions in effect at the time of the offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares will trade following the completion of this offering. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial offering price.

 

 

 

 

 15 

 

 

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY FLUCTUATE, AND YOU COULD LOSE ALL OF PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT

 

The offering price for our Common Stock is based on a number of factors. The price of our Common Stock may decline following this Offering. The stock market in general, and the market price of our Common Stock, will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects. Our financial performance, our industry’s overall performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. Some of the other factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price includes:

 

  · actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;

 

  · increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our Common Stock to demand a higher yield;

 

  · changes in earnings estimates;

 

  · changes in market valuations of similar companies;

 

  · actions or announcements by our competitors;

 

  · adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;

 

  · additions or departures of key personnel;

 

  · actions by stockholders;

 

  · speculation in the press or investment community; and

 

  · our intentions and ability to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing.

 

WE DO NOT EXPECT TO DECLARE OR PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE

 

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.

 

SALES OF OUR COMMON STOCK UNDER RULE 144 COULD REDUCE THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK

 

In general, persons holding “restricted securities,” including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six (6) months, may not sell more than one percent (1%) of the total issued and outstanding shares in any ninety (90) day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. However, Rule 144 will only be available for resale in the ninety (90) days after the Company files its semi-annual reports on Form 1-SA and annual reports on Form 1-K, unless the Company voluntarily files interim quarterly reports on Form 1-U, which the Company has not yet decided to do. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.

 

 

 

 

 16 

 

 

OUR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN EFFECTIVE INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IPACT ON US

 

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm’s attestation to or report on management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCRETION AS TO THE ACTUAL USE OF THE PROCEEDS DERIVED FROM THIS OFFERING

 

The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use of Proceeds.” However, we reserve the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently contemplated which we deem to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the Board of Directors with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors who purchase our Common Stock will be entrusting their funds to our Board of Directors, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend.

 

THE OFFERING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WAS ARBITRARILY DETERMINED AND DOES NOT REFLECT THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY, OUR ASSSETS OR OUR BUSINESS

 

The offering price of our Common Stock was arbitrarily determined by our management and is not based on book value, assets, earnings or any other recognizable standard of value. We arbitrarily established the offering price considering such matters as the state of our business development and the general condition of, and opportunities present in, the industry in which we operate. No assurance can be given that our Common Stock Shares, or any portion thereof, could be sold for the offering price or for any amount. If profitable results are not achieved from our operations, of which there can be no assurance, the value of our Common Stock sold pursuant to this Offering will fall below the offering price and become worthless. Prospective investors should not consider the offering price of the Common Stock as indicative of their actual value. The offering price bears little relationship to our assets, net worth, or any other objective criteria.

 

GENERAL SECURITIES INVESTMENT RISKS

 

All investments in securities involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that an investor will receive a return of its capital. The value of our Common Stock can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including development problems, regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, government intervention, industry developments and trends, and general business and economic conditions.

 

MULTIPLE SECURITIES OFFERINGS AND POTENTIAL FOR INTEGRATION OF OUR OFFERINGS

 

We are currently and will in the future be involved in one or more additional offers of our securities in other unrelated securities offerings. Any two or more securities offerings undertaken by us could be found by the SEC, or a state securities regulator, agency, to be “integrated” and therefore constitute a single offering of securities, which finding could lead to a disallowance of certain exemptions from registration for the sale of our securities in such other securities offerings. Such a finding could result in disallowance of one or more of our exemptions from registration, which could give rise to various legal actions on behalf of a federal or state regulatory agency and the Company.

THE OFFERING IS NOT REVIEWED BY INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS

 

We have not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors, any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision to purchase our Common Stock, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Common Stock.

 

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL SELL AND SPECIFIC NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES IN THIS OFFERING

 

There is no commitment by anyone to purchase all or any part of the Common Stock Shares offered hereby and, consequently, we can give no assurance that all of the Common Stock shares in this Offering will be sold. Additionally, there is no underwriter for this Offering; therefore, you will not have the benefit of an underwriter’s due diligence efforts that would typically include the underwriter being involved in the preparation of this Offering Circular and the pricing of our Common Stock shares offered hereunder. Therefore, there can be no assurance that this Offering will be successful or that we will raise enough capital from this Offering to further our development and business activities in a meaningful manner. Finally, prospective investors should be aware that we reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify this Offering at any time without notice, to reject any subscription in whole or in part, or to allot to any prospective purchaser fewer Common Stock Shares than the number for which he or she subscribed.

 

INVESTORS WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION IN THE BOOK VLAUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT, AND WILL EXPERIENCE ADDITIONAL DILUTION IN THE FUTURE

 

If you purchase our Common Stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution because the price you pay will be substantially greater than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire. Since we will require funds in addition to the proceeds of this Offering to conduct our planned business, we will raise such additional funds, to the extent not generated internally from operations, by issuing additional equity and/or debt securities, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders (including purchasers of our Common Stock in this Offering).

 

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MEET OUR CURRENT AND FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS FROM CAPITAL RAISED BY THIS OFFERING

 

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the rate and success of our development efforts, marketing efforts, market acceptance of our products and services and other related services, our ability to establish and maintain our agreements with the services currently operating, our ability to maintain and expand our user base, the rate of expansion of our user community, the level of resources required to develop and operate our products and services, information systems and research and development activities, the availability of software and services provided by third-party vendors and other factors. The capital requirements relating to development of our technology and the continued and expanding operations of our business segments will be significant. We cannot accurately predict the timing and amount of such capital requirements. However, we are dependent on the proceeds of this Offering as well as additional financing that will be required in order to operate our business segments and execute on our business plans. However, in the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this Offering prove to be insufficient to operate our business segments, we would be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders (including those purchasing shares pursuant to this Offering), and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with respect to dividends, raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as and when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated business plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

 

 

 18 

 

 

THERE MAY BE LITTLE TO NO VOLUME IN THE TRADING OF OUR COMMON STOCK, AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RESELL YOUR COMMON STOCK AT OR ABOVE THE INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE

 

There can no assurance that our Common Stock shares will maintain a sufficient trading market sufficient for the shares in this offering. If no active trading market for our Common Stock is sustained following this Offering, you may be unable to sell your shares when you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider attractive or satisfactory. The lack of an active market may also adversely affect our ability to raise capital by selling securities in the future or impair our ability to license or acquire other product candidates, businesses or technologies using our shares as consideration.

 

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY, AND INVESTORS IN OUR COMMON STOCK MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF THEIR INVESTMENT

 

If a market for our Common Stock develops following this Offering, the trading price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The market prices for securities of penny-stock companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

 

  · actual or anticipated adverse results or delays in our research and development efforts;

 

  · our failure to operate our business;

 

  · unanticipated serious safety concerns related to our business;

 

  · adverse regulatory decisions;

 

  · legal disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our intellectual property, government investigations and the results of any proceedings or lawsuits, including patent or stockholder litigation;

 

  · changes in laws or regulations applicable to our businesses;

 

  · our dependence on third parties;

 

  · announcements of the introduction of new products by our competitors;

 

  · market conditions in our business sectors;

 

  · announcements concerning product development results or intellectual property rights of others;

 

  · future issuances of our Common Stock or other securities;

 

  · the addition or departure of key personnel;

 

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

  · actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

 

  · announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;

 

  · our failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;

 

  · issuances of debt or equity securities;

 

  · trading volume of our Common Stock;

 

  · sales of our Common Stock by us or our stockholders in the future;

 

  · overall performance of the equity markets and other factors that may be unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors, including changes in market valuations of similar companies;

 

  · failure to meet or exceed any financial guidance or expectations regarding development milestones that we may provide to the public;

 

  · ineffectiveness of our internal controls;

 

  · general political and economic conditions;

 

  · effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events;

 

  · other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control; and

 

  · publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts.

 

Further, price and volume fluctuations result in volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our Common Stock. Price volatility of our common stock might worsen if the trading volume of our Common Stock is low. The realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these “Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

A SALE OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF THE COMMON STOCK MAY CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOKC TO DECLINE

 

If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued in connection with the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business. The stock markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the Common Stock of pharmaceutical companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of a company’s securities. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation often is expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.

 

 

 

 

 20 

 

 

OUR SEMI-ANNUAL OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY

 

We expect our operating results to be subject to semi-annual fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:

 

  · variations in the level of expenses related to our business segments;

 

  · any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved;

 

  · regulatory developments affecting our business and industry; and

 

  · our execution of any collaborative, licensing or similar arrangements, and the timing of payments we may make or receive under these arrangements.

 

If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially.

 

OUR ABILITY TO USE OUR NET OPERATING LOSS CARRY FORWARDS MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATION

 

Generally, a change of more than fifty percent (50%) in the ownership of a company’s stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the period prior to the change. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability for us.

 

THE NUMBER OF SECURITIES TRADED ON AN ATS MAY BE VERY SMALL, MAKING THE MARKET PRICE MORE EASILY MANIPULATED

 

While we understand that many ATS platforms have adopted policies and procedures such that security holders are not free to manipulate the trading price of securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for our Common Stock because the ATS we choose may be a closed system that does not have the same breadth of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no assurance that the efforts by an ATS to prevent such behavior will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 21 

 

 

THE PREPARATION OF OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INVOLVES THE USE OF ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS, AND OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY BE MATERIALLY AFFECTED IF SUCH ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS OR ASSUMPTIONS PROVE TO BE INACCURATE

 

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.

 

IF SECURITIES INDUSTRY ANALYSTS DO NOT PUBLISH RESEARCH REPORTS ON US, OR PUBLISH UNFAVORABLE REPORTS ON US, THEN THE MARKET PRICE AND MARKET TRADING VOLUMET OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED

 

Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

OUR MANAGEMENT HAS BROAD DISCRETION AS TO THE USE OF CERTAIN OF THE NET PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING

 

We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this Offering (if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated for use as working capital or for other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 22 

 

 

OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE SUBJECT TO THE “PENNY STOCK” RULES OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IF IT WERE PUBLICALLY TRADED AND MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SELL

 

Our shares of Common Stock are considered to be “penny stocks” because they are not registered on a national securities exchange or listed on an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association, pursuant to Rule 3a51- 1(a) under the Exchange Act. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and that the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, which sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

THE MARKET FOR PENNY STOCKS HAS SUFFERED IN RECENT YEARS FROM PATTENRS OF FRAUD AND ABUSE

 

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

  · control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 

  · manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 

  · boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;

 

  · excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

 

  · the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.

 

The foregoing risk factors are not to be considered a definitive list of all the risks associated with an investment in our Offered Shares. This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections about our business, our industry, and the industry of our clients. When used in this Offering Circular, the words “expects,” anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The cautionary statements made in this Offering Circular should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Offering Circular.

THE BUSINESS

 

“Water is the most abundant material on the surface of the planet yet less than 2.5% is “freshwater” and less than 0.1% is suitable

for use without any treatment.”

 

The Company Overview

 

NEXTMART, INC. (“NXMR”) is a Delaware based company, having offices in Carlsbad, New Mexico and Dallas, TX, USA, the company’s business strategy started with the acquisition of Emco Oil Field Services. (“Emco”), a Texas company which was formed to provide water hauling and other services to the oil drilling and discover industry. NXMR plans to execute a roll-up strategy incorporating water treatment system integration, significant re-occurring revenues from service and equipment rentals and emerging water treatment technologies via strategic acquisitions. The company is poised to capitalize and expand on the many years of expertise in both regional and global markets in the industrial, potable, wastewater and in the specialized water treatment and purification sectors. NXMR is in negotiation with the first of three strategic companies for acquisition and a separate joint venture.

 

“Acquisition #1” is currently in a confidential letter of intent with final closing of the transaction to be completed one this Offering meets 35% of the maximum. With the first acquisition, Acquisition #1, NXMR will have a fully functional operation that was established in 1985. Acquisition #1 complements Emco in that is provides water treatment for the oil industry, refining, paper mills and other operations.

 

Acquisition #1 provides commercially proven industrial equipment designs, systems, technologies and programs and re-occurring revenues that secure its position in that is multi-billion-dollar, global market. The core design technologies, developed by this acquisition, have over 35-years in industry applications. The acquisitions also have a significant portion of their revenues generated service contracts and equipment rentals. Finally, this acquisition has a client base that includes over a dozen Fortune 500® companies. Identifying and commercializing re-occurring revenue opportunities and innovative solutions to provide industrial and potable water solutions worldwide, is one of the main focuses of NXMR. Industries served by Acquisition #1 include refining, oil field, paper mills, food, pharmaceuticals and chemical suppliers.

 

During the COVID-19 shutdowns of 2020 water treatment for generation of power and production of pharmaceuticals was considered essential businesses. Acquisition #1 was able to remain open during the entire shutdown. The service portion of the business remained stable and revenues only dropped slightly. The capital portion of the business did drop off significantly during the initial shutdown but the demand for new equipment just shifted to the third and fourth quarter of operations.

 

NXMR’s Joint Venture is with a confidential partner will be effective upon qualification of this offering. The Joint Venture is a service based operation with a current HVAC service and equipment company. The Joint Venture provides NXMR to enter the residential water treatment industry with a company that has an established service organization.

 

The issue surrounding water is not the lack of resources but the lack of water that is pure enough to use for its intended purpose. Water is the most abundant material on the surface of the planet yet less than 2.5% is “freshwater” and less than 0.1% is suitable for use without any treatment. According to Research Nester’s September 2018 report:

 

“The global market of water and wastewater treatment is expected to flourish with significant compound annual growth rate over the forecast period 2018-2027. Factors such as growing demand for drinking water and waste-water treatment in commercial and industrial applications are anticipated to generate noteworthy market valuation for water and wastewater treatment market by reaching around USD 704 Billion by the end of 2027.”

 

The Industrial portion of the market is expected to have annual growth of 9.0% during that period. Most of the growth will occur in developing countries because, as the standard of living rises, the awareness of the health issues associated with untreated water becomes more widespread, industry growth requires high quality water, the energy and power industry will place mare demands on infrastructure and new technologies require purer water. There is also a shift from ground water, which has been filtered by hundreds of feet of porous rock, to surface waters. Surface waters are more easily contaminated by sewage and industrial waste. The global need is for a company that can deliver water treatment technology on a local level, show companies how to treat water as a resource and provide environmentally friendly solutions to contamination issues. NXMR has the talent, capabilities, and structure to fulfill that need better than much larger companies or any smaller companies.

 

 

 

 24 

 

 

NXMR’s team has the unique ability to execute system integration projects to produce purified water in a cost-effective manner and to evaluate water treatment technologies for their sound engineering as well as their market potential. The team has international experience and research and development experience. NXMR, with its acquisitions and future acquisition targets has standard equipment designs, contract manufacturing sources and marketing agreements that will quickly establish a positive and profitable cash flow. This cash flow provides a proof of concept that justifies the acquisition strategy and will support the team’s registration in the public markets allowing for the evaluation and acquisition of key growth technologies.

 

The investment objective is to roll-up approximately $100 million in annual revenues with a 40-50% reoccurring revenue base and developing technologies to attract and acquisition partner for a corporate buy-out.

 

Mission Statement

 

To acquire companies that manufacture, design, service and sell innovative and sustainable water products for consumption and the treatment of water for consumption, recycle, return to the environment and industry. The Company will maintain profitability and financial balance while efficiently and effectively building the business by through acquisitions and synergistic growth. Return to investors and shareholders is through acquisition of NXMR by a larger firm or by listing on one of the major exchanges.

 

Business Objectives

 

The primary objectives of our organization are to:

 

  a) Take advantage of the trend in the water treatment market to fill a vacuum between the largest competitors and the small regional companies. This void in the market supply will permit lower costs of supply and larger return to investors.

 

  b) Provide a local delivery/service alternative to the traditional large, centralized water treatment approach.

 

  c) Acquire new emerging technologies where a proof of concept can be performed with Fortune 500 companies. Technologies will focus on environmentally friendly and water recovery opportunities.

 

  d) Acquire component companies, companies that supply components common to all water treatment system integrators’ equipment.

 

  e) Aggressively acquire companies that have environmental permits for ion exchange resin regeneration.

 

  f) Change the market perception of water as a resource and expendable to an asset.

 

  g) Utilize access to the World Bank and United Nations to penetrate and support developing countries at minimal financial risk.

 

  h) Utilize the manufacturing expertise to offer equipment and services to the various agencies within the United States Federal Government.

Market Analysis - The Underlying Drivers for Water Investing

 

No other industry rivals the global water industry in terms of the strong and credible drivers propelling its growth. While each of the manifest drivers are worthy of detailed discussion, it would require a great many pages of information to do so. Thus, in the interest of brevity, we have labored below to reduce the discussion of the drivers to an outline that gives the reader a good basis for understanding why we believe the global water industry will be an investment leader for decades to come.

 

The increasing dominance of the drivers listed below will continue to create enormous investment opportunities in water infrastructure firms, water and wastewater utilities, and water industrials of all types.

Diminishing Water Supplies Confronted with Exploding Demand

 

Global Water Supply

 

 

Source: U.S. Department of Commerce – National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration

 

· The available supply of fresh water to the world’s water as represented by a fifty-five gallon drum. Not to scale. meet all human (and the ecosystem’s) needs amount to only one half of one percent of all water on earth. Amazingly, rivers and lakes make up less than 1/100th of this already minute amount.
   
· Fresh water supplies are being destroyed at an alarming rate as surface water supplies are polluted and groundwater supplies, which make up 99% of available freshwater, are mined beyond their natural rate of replenishment. In Northern China for example, the water table is dropping by 3 meters per year.
   
· Global warming further exacerbates the supply issue as climatic changes disrupt weather patterns causing drought and desertification.
   
· It took mankind 10,000 years to reach a total population of 1 billion. One hundred fifty years later (1950) the population had doubled. In 2000, the global population stood at 6 billion people. By 2025, it is estimated that the global population will reach 8 billion. This exponential population growth and ensuing industrial expansion will continue to place an unrelenting demand on an already scarce and fixed water supply.
   
· Not only are more people demanding water, but they are demanding more of it. In 1900 the global annual water use per capita was 350 cubic meters. In 2000, that number had grown to 642 cubic meters.
   
· Global water usage increased six-fold during the 20th century, twice the rate of population. In the U.S. alone, water demand tripled in the past thirty years, while population growth has been just 50%.
   
· To feed the growing population, the world will need 55% more food by 2030. This translates into an increasing demand for irrigation, which already claims nearly 70% of all fresh water currently used on a global basis. It takes 1,900 liters of water to produce 1 kg of rice. It takes a whopping 15,000 liters of water to produce 1 kg of beef.

 

 

 

 

 28 

 

 

Geographic Imbalances Exist Between Water Sources and Use

 

· Water is not evenly distributed around the globe: Fewer than 10 countries possess 60% of the world’s available fresh water supply. China for example makes up 21% of the world’s population, but possesses only 7% of the renewable water resources. Or consider the situation in Africa, a water-stressed continent whose population doubles every 20 years.

 

· Half of humanity currently lives in towns and cities. This number is however increasing as populations from more rural and arid areas migrate to these urban hubs to escape water scarcity. By 2030, it is expected that nearly two-thirds of the world’s population will exist in these urban areas, resulting in dramatically increased water demand on an already overstressed infrastructure system.

 

· Water Stress occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available supply during a certain period or when poor quality restricts its use. Currently 25% of the world’s population is experiencing water stress. Another 8% is experiencing more severe water scarcity issues, whereby less than 1 cubic meter of water exists on a renewable basis per person per year.

 

· As water resources become scarce, tensions among different users may intensify, both at the national and international level. Over 260 river basins are shared by two or more countries. In the absence of strong institutions and agreements, changes within a basin can lead to trans-boundary tensions. When major projects proceed without regional collaboration, they can become a point of conflict, heightening instability.

 

· Currently, 20% of the world’s population (1.1 billion people) does not have access to an adequate supply of drinking water and some 2.6 billion do not have access to basic sanitation. By 2025 it is estimated that one-third of the world’s population will not have access to adequate drinking water. By 2050, more than 4 billion people – nearly half the world’s population – are expected to live in countries that are chronically short of water.

 

Increasingly Stringent Regulatory Environment

 

· Legislation in the U.S. such as the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act continue to increase regulatory standards, driving new capital investments in monitoring and treatment technologies and services.

 

· While many countries around the world have since developed regulatory standards similar to those of the U.S., some are only now beginning to enforce them.

 

Heightened Awareness and Perception of an Impending Water Crisis

 

· From television, to newspapers and magazines, to the internet – the level of attention being given to water issues is at an all time high. Both conservative and liberal media alike are feverishly reporting on the global water situation.

 

· The financial/business world is beginning to come up the learning curve on water investment opportunities.

 

· As of recent, the global warming dialog has also aided in extending the exposure of water knowledge to the general public.

One of the world’s most abundant materials has always been a precious and scarce commodity. If the entire world’s water resources were poured into a liter-sized bottle of water, only half a teaspoon would be fresh, drinking water. The rest of it is too brackish, too dirty, too hard to reach, or undrinkable seawater. So, the key issue is not where to find water, its how to render what is available suitable for its intended purpose.

 

In many regions of the world, fresh water, both groundwater and surface water, is being used faster than it can be replaced. Population growth combined with industrialization leads to high demand and contamination of water that is available. West Asia faces the greatest threat. Over 90 percent of the region's population is experiencing severe water stress. But the problem is not confined to the developing world. In the United States, 400 million cubic meters of groundwater is being removed from aquifers annually in Arizona; about double the amount being replaced by recharge from rainfall. Over use of groundwater leads to subsidence and the failure of building foundations. The ground elevation in Houston, Texas has dropped between 1 and 3 feet over the past 20 years.

 

This situation has lead to restrictions on groundwater removal thus relying on surface waters which are more susceptible to contamination and pollution.

 

The major aspects of the water crisis are overall scarcity of usable water and water pollution. Waterborne diseases and the absence of sanitary domestic water is the leading cause of death worldwide and may account for up to 80 percent of human disease. As this crisis looms, governments have a fiduciary duty to provide a source of potable water to their citizens. As the citizens of developing countries become more aware and have a greater standard of living one of the main requirements they have is the supply of safe potable water.

 

Key Statistics

 

  · According to the UN, six thousand people die every day due to lack of clean, drinking water
  · In the past 10 years, water-related diseases have amounted to more deaths among children than the combination of all the deaths attributed to armed conflict since the Second World War.
  · On average, Americans consume slightly over 1 gallon (140 ounces) per person per day of beverages such as bottled water, soda, coffee, tea, and soups.
  · Water supplies are falling while the demand is dramatically growing at an unsustainable rate. Over the next 20 years, the average supply of water worldwide per person is expected to drop by a third.
  · By the 2050, seven billion people in 60 countries will face dramatic water scarcity.
  · One liter of wastewater pollutes about eight liters of freshwater.
  · At least one in three Asians has no access to safe, drinking water. Asian rivers are the most polluted in the world, with 20 times more lead than those of industrialized countries and three times as many bacteria from human waste as the global average.
  · People already use over half the world’s accessible freshwater and may use nearly three quarters by 2025.

 

Water issues are not limited to potable water. Developing countries have increasing sophisticated industries. These operations require consistent water quality. They are also under pressure from Governments and the growing citizens to treat the water that leaves their facilities. This means that not only do opportunities exist to grow with the population in many countries, but NXMR can grow with the industrial base too.

Major competitors and participants

 

The marketplace is dominated by extremely large companies and very small regional companies. The large companies include well-known names such as Evoqua and Veolia. All of these companies carry overheads equal to their size. The large overhead requires that they focus on very large projects. The ideal project for these companies is a US$100 million build-own-operate facility that includes a 20-year operating contract. They cannot effectively supply and support a smaller local project.

 

The smaller regional companies vary in size from US$1,000,000 to US$20,000,000. These companies focus on regional coverage and service. They typically purchase components and assemble them. A large portion of their revenues are generated by local service contracts. They have no brand awareness beyond their region and lack the capital to execute the intermediate project, especially if that project is located outside of the region they service.

 

NXMR’s team has the unique ability to execute system integration projects to produce purified water in a cost-effective manner and to evaluate water treatment technologies for their sound engineering as well as their market potential. The team has international experience and research and development experience. H2O SI has standard equipment designs, contract manufacturing sources and marketing agreements that will quickly establish a positive and profitable cash flow. This cash flow will support the team while allowing for the evaluation and acquisition of key growth technologies.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The shares are being offered by us on a “best-efforts” basis by our officers, directors, and employees, with the assistance of independent consultants, and possibly through registered broker-dealers who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and finders. As of the date of this Offering Circular, unless otherwise permitted by applicable law, we do not intend to accept subscriptions from investors in this Offering who reside in certain states, unless and until the Company has complied with each such states’ registration and/or qualification requirements or a FINRA-member broker-dealer has been engaged by the Company to consummate and process sales to investors in such states. We reserve the right to temporarily suspend and/or modify this Offering and Offering Circular in the future, during the Offering Period, in order to take such actions necessary to enable the Company to accept subscriptions in this Offering from investors residing in such states identified above.

 

There is no aggregate minimum to be raised for the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on a “rolling basis.” This means we will be entitled to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering expenses, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

 

We may pay selling commissions to participating broker-dealers who are members of FINRA for shares sold by them, equal to a percentage of the purchase price of the Common Stock shares. We may pay finder’s fees to persons who refer investors to us. We may also pay consulting fees to consultants who assist us with the Offering, based on invoices submitted by them for advisory services rendered. Consulting compensation, finder’s fees and brokerage commissions may be paid in cash, Common Stock, or warrants to purchase our Common Stock. We may also issue shares and grant stock options or warrants to purchase our Common Stock to broker-dealers for sales of shares attributable to them, and to finders and consultants, and reimburse them for due diligence and marketing costs on an accountable or non-accountable basis. We have not entered selling agreements with any broker-dealers to date, though we may engage a FINRA registered broker-dealer firm for offering administrative services. Participating broker-dealers, if any, and others may be indemnified by us with respect to this offering and the disclosures made in this Offering Circular.

  

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

 

Our Offering will expire on the first to occur of (a) the sale of all 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, (b) 1 year from the date that this Offering Circular is declared effective, or (c) when our board of directors elects to terminate the Offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware, Texas and Pennsylvania corporate law and our bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker- dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market.

 

Offering Period and Expiration Date

 

This Offering will start on or immediately prior to the date on which the SEC initially qualifies this Offering Statement (the “Qualification Date”) and will terminate on the Termination Date.

 

Minimum Purchase Requirements

 

The minimum investment amount is Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00).

 

Procedures for Subscribing

 

If you decide to subscribe for our Common Stock shares in this Offering, you should:

 

  1. Electronically receive, review, execute and deliver to us a subscription agreement; and

 

  2. Deliver funds directly by wire or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the Company’s bank account designated in the Company’s subscription agreement.

 

 

 

 43 

 

 

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. We shall only deliver such subscription agreement upon request after a potential investor has had ample opportunity to review this Offering Circular.

 

Right to Reject Subscriptions. After we receive your complete, executed subscription agreement and the funds required under the subscription agreement have been transferred to our designated account, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

 

Acceptance of Subscriptions. Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the shares subscribed at closing. Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.

 

State Law Exemptions

 

This Offering Circular does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any Shares in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would be unlawful to do so. An investment in the Shares involves substantial risks and possible loss by investors of their entire investments (See Risk Factors).

 

The Shares have not been qualified under the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction. However, in the case of each state in which we sell the Shares, we may qualify the Shares for sale with the applicable state securities regulatory body or we will sell the Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration found in the applicable state’s securities, or Blue Sky, law.

 

Investor Suitability Standards

 

The Offered Shares may only be purchased by investors residing in a state in which this Offering Circular is duly qualified who have the financial capacity to hold the investment for an indefinite amount of time.

 

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, non-accredited, non-natural investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

 

NOTE: For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.

 

In order to purchase our Common Stock shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the Ten Percent (10%) of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this Offering.

Although these materials will not contain information in conflict with the information provided by this Offering Circular and will be prepared with a view to presenting a balanced discussion of risk and reward with respect to the Offered Shares, these materials will not give a complete understanding of our company, this offering or the Offered Shares and are not to be considered part of this Offering Circular. This offering is made only by means of this Offering Circular, and prospective investors must read and rely on the information provided in this Offering Circular in connection with their decision to invest in the Shares.

If the Offered Shares are registered in book entry, you will not receive a certificate but will receive an account statement from our transfer agent acknowledging the number of Shares you own.

NEXTMART, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Period Ended June 30, 2022

 

 

1. SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

General Development and Narrative Description of Business –As used herein, the “Company” means NextMart, Inc. a holding company.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revenue Recognition –Revenues are generally recognized when the products are shipped to the customers.

 

Inventories – Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventory is based on the weighted average principle for finished goods and on the standard cost principle for raw materials and work-in- progress for inventories that are manufactured. Cost includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - All highly liquid investments with original maturities of nine months or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the amounts shown on the financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are used in, but not limited to, certain receivables and accounts payable and the provision for uncertain liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes - The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States. Income tax expense (benefit) is provided for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between amounts reported for income tax purposes and financial reporting purposes. Deferred taxes are provided for the undistributed earnings as if they were to be distributed. The tax rate for the period ended December 31, 2018 is affected by the estimated valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability taking into consideration such factors as recurring operating losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. The authoritative guidance issued by the FASB requires the Company to record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Based on the level of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 the level of historical losses realized and the fact that the Company not filed any income tax returns until recently, the Company has determined that the uncertainty regarding the realization of these assets is sufficient to warrant the establishment of a full valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards - The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, include those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operation of the Company.

 

 

 

 F-9 

 

 

3. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

At June 30, 2022 the total number of shares of all classes of stock, which the Company shall have authority to issue is 2,020,000,000, consisting of 2,000,000,000 common shares and 20,000,000 preferred shares. The Company has designated 3,000,000 as Series A-1 Preferred Shares which has voting rights and is convertible into Common Stock equal to 80%of the total issued and outstanding common stock at the time of vote and conversion.

 

The Company has no stock-based compensation plans for employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors.

 

4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company has no commitments or contingencies.

 

5. LITIGATION

 

Judgement was entered against the Company in or about August 2020 for approximately $605,000, subject to increase for attorney’s fees and pre and post judgment interest. This is recorded as Lawsuit expense on the income statement and lawsuit liability in liabilities on the balance sheet. This litigation was settled during Q1 2022.

 

6. CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company has no contractual arrangements.

 

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. A Special Meeting Request shall be signed by each stockholder, or duly authorized agent, requesting the special meeting and shall set forth: (i) a brief description of each matter of business desired to be brought before the special meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), (iii) any material interest of each stockholder and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the special meeting is being requested in the business desired to be brought before the special meeting, (iv) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of each stockholder requesting the special meeting and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the special meeting is being requested, (v) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned by each stockholder requesting the special meeting and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the special meeting is being requested, and (vi) any other information that is required to be set forth in a stockholder's notice required pursuant to Section 2.07 of these Bylaws and, if the purpose of the special meeting includes the appointment or election of one or more directors to the Board, Section 3.03(b) of these Bylaws.

A stockholder may revoke a Special Meeting Request at any time prior to the special meeting; provided however, that if any such revocations are received by the Secretary and, as a result of such revocation, the number of un-revoked Special Meeting Requests no longer represents at least the requisite number of shares entitling the stockholders to request the calling of a special meeting pursuant to Section 2.02(a), then the Board shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting. If none of the stockholders who submitted the Special Meeting Request appear or send a qualified representative (as defined in these Bylaws) to present the proposal(s) or business submitted by the stockholders for consideration at the special meeting, such proposal(s) or business shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation or such stockholder(s).

 

A Special Meeting Request shall not be valid (and the Board shall have no obligation to call a special meeting in respect of such Special Meeting Request) if it relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law.

 

The Board shall determine the place, if any, and fix the date and time, of any stockholder requested special meeting. The Board may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at a stockholder requested special meeting.

 

Section 2.03 Time and Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date and at such time as may from time to time be designated by the person or persons calling the respective meeting and specified in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

 

Section 2.04 Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice.

 

(a)   Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given to stockholders of the Corporation, as required by applicable law, which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice may be given by such delivery means (mail, telecopy, electronic or other) as the Secretary deems appropriate and in compliance with applicable law and shall be delivered to the stockholder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by Delaware Law, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Unless otherwise expressly required by Delaware Law, when a meeting is adjourned to another time or place (whether or not a quorum is present), notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

 

(b)  Any waiver of any such notice given by the person entitled thereto, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting, and such person objects at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

 

Section 2.05 Quorum. Except as provided by Delaware Law, the holders of record of a majority in voting interest of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to be voted thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof. In the absence of a quorum at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat or, in the absence therefrom of all the stockholders, any officer entitled to preside at, or to act as a secretary of, such meeting may adjourn such meeting from time to time. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

Section 2.06 Voting.

 

(a)  At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, each share or fractional share of the stock of the Corporation having voting rights on the matter in question and which shall have been held by such stockholder and registered in such stockholder’s name on the books of the Corporation:

 

(i)  on the date fixed pursuant to Section 6.05 of these Bylaws as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting, or

 

(ii)  if no such record date shall have been so fixed, then (A) at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice of the meeting shall be given or (B) if notice of the meeting shall be waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting shall be held.

 

(b)  Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors in such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes.

 

(c)  Any such voting rights may be exercised by the stockholder entitled thereto in person or by his or her proxy delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. At any meeting of the stockholders all matters, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, Delaware Law, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation (the “Stock Exchange Rules”), or any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, shall be decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, a quorum being present. The vote at any meeting of the stockholders on any question need not be by ballot, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or unless so directed by the chair of the meeting. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his or her proxy, if there be such proxy, and it shall state the number of shares voted.

 

Section 2.07 Business at Annual Meeting (other than the Election of Directors). Only such business (other than nominations for election to the Board, which must comply with the provisions of Section 3.03(b) or Section 3.03(c)) may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders as is either (1) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), (2) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized committee thereof), or (3) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.07 and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.07. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth: (a) as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and the text of the business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), and (b) as to the stockholder giving notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made, (i) the name and address of such person, (ii) (A) the class or series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such person and any affiliates or associates of such person, (B) the name of each nominee holder of shares of all stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such person or any affiliates or associates of such person, and the number of such shares of stock of the Corporation held by each such nominee holder, (C) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation, and (D) whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation; (iii) a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings (whether written or oral) between or among such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business and any material interest of such person or any affiliates or associates of such person, in such business, including any anticipated benefit therefrom to such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person; (iv) whether the stockholder giving notice intends, or is part of a group that intends, to solicit proxies from other stockholders in support of such proposal; (v) a representation that the stockholder giving notice intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting; and (vi) any other information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies by such person with respect to the proposed business to be brought by such person before the annual meeting pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

A stockholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting. Such update and supplement shall be delivered to or be mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting. Nothing contained in this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor provision of law).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, unless otherwise required by law or the Board or the chair of the annual meeting determines otherwise, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of these Bylaws, to be considered a “qualified representative” of the stockholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

 

No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.07; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.07 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting.

 

The chair of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.07 and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Section 2.08 List of Stockholders. The Secretary of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, as required by applicable law. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

 

Section 2.09 Inspectors. Prior to each meeting of the stockholders, one or more inspectors shall be appointed by the Board, or, if no such appointment shall have been made, such inspectors shall be appointed by the chair of the meeting, to act thereat. Each inspector so appointed shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation faithfully to execute the duties of an inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such inspector(s) shall take charge of the ballots at such meeting, count the ballots cast on any question and deliver a written report of the results thereof to the secretary of such meeting. The inspector(s) need not be stockholders of the Corporation. Any officer of the Corporation may be an inspector on any question other than a vote for or against his or her election to any position with the Corporation or on any other question in which he or she may be directly interested other than as a stockholder.

 

Section 2.10 Regulations for Conduct of Stockholders Meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations adopted by the Board, the chair of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting;

 

(b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; and (c) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chair of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

 

ARTICLE III.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

Section 3.01 General Powers. The property, business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, who may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by Delaware Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders of the Corporation.

 

Section 3.02 Number. The exact number of directors shall be fixed from time to time, within the limits specified in the Certificate of Incorporation, by resolution of the Board.

 

Section 3.03 Election of Directors.

 

(a)    Voting. The directors shall be elected annually by the stockholders of the Corporation. A nominee for director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of votes cast with respect to such nominee’s election, except that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in a contested election. An election is contested if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. For election of directors, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a nominee exceeds the votes cast “against” that nominee, without counting abstentions as votes cast. If directors are to be elected by a plurality vote, stockholders may not vote against a nominee.

(b)    Nomination of Directors. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a meeting of stockholders (1) by or at the direction of the Board, (2) by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (or any other duly authorized committee of the Board), (3) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of notice provided for in this Section 3.03(b) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3.03(b), or (4) by a Nominating Stockholder (as defined in these Bylaws) pursuant to Section 3.03(c). In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely pursuant to this Section 3.03(b), a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

 

Such stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (C) (1) the class or series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such person and any affiliates or associates of such person, (2) the name of each nominee holder of shares of all stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such person or any affiliates or associates of such person, and the number of such shares of stock of the Corporation held by each such nominee holder, (3) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation and (4) whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation; and (D) any other information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, (A) the name and record address of such person; (B) (1) the class or series and number of all shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially or of record by such person and any affiliates or associates of such person, (2) the name of each nominee holder of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such person or any affiliates or associates of such person, and the number of shares of stock of the Corporation held by each suchnominee holder, (3) whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation and (4) whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, with respect to stock of the Corporation; (C) a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings (whether written or oral) between such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, and any proposed nominee or any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are being made by such person, and any material interest of such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person, in such nomination, including any anticipated benefit therefrom to such person, or any affiliates or associates of such person; (D) a representation that the stockholder giving notice intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice; (E) a representation whether such stockholder intends, or is part of a group that intends, to solicit proxies from other stockholders in support of such nomination; and (F) any other information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.

A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting of stockholders shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) shall be true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting. Such update and supplement shall be delivered to or be mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of such meeting.

 

No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.03(b) or Section 3.03(c). Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 3.03(b) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

 

The chair of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure and, if the chair should so determine, the chair shall so declare to the meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(b), unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Board or the chair of the annual meeting determines otherwise, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

 

  (c) Nominations of Directors Included in the Corporation’s Proxy Materials.

 

(i)  Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.03(c), if expressly requested in the relevant Nomination Notice (as defined below), the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for any annual meeting of stockholders (but not at any special meeting of stockholders): (A) the name of any person nominated for election (the “Stockholder Nominee”), which shall also be included on the Corporation’s form of proxy and ballot, by any Eligible Stockholder (as defined below) or group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders that, as determined by the Board or its designee acting in good faith, has (individually and collectively, in the case of a group) satisfied all applicable conditions and complied with all applicable procedures set forth in this Section 3.03(c) (such Eligible Stockholder or group of Eligible Stockholders being a “Nominating Stockholder”); (B) disclosure about the Stockholder Nominee and the Nominating Stockholder required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable law to be included in the proxy statement; (C) any statement included by the Nominating Stockholder in the Nomination Notice for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the Stockholder Nominee’s election to the Board (subject, without limitation, to Section 3.03(c)(v)(B)), provided that such statement does not exceed 500 words; and (D) any other information that the Corporation or the Board determines, in their discretion, to include in the proxy statement relating to the nomination of the Stockholder Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).

 

(ii)            (A) The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual meeting of stockholders more Stockholder Nominees than that number of directors constituting 20% of the total number of directors of the Corporation on the last day on which a Nomination Notice may be submitted pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) (rounded down to the nearest whole number), but, in any event, not fewer than two (the “Maximum Number”). The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by: (1) Stockholder Nominees whose nominations are subsequently withdrawn; (2) Stockholder Nominees who the Board itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting and (3) the number of incumbent directors who had been Stockholder Nominees at any of the preceding two annual meetings of stockholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders is being recommended by the Board. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the Board after the deadline set forth in Section 3.03(c)(iv) but before the date of the annual meeting of stockholders and the Board resolves to reduce the size of the Board in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

(B)  If the number of Stockholder Nominees pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) for any annual meeting of stockholders exceeds the Maximum Number then, promptly upon notice from the Corporation, each Nominating Stockholder will select one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the proxy statement until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the Corporation’s common stock that each Nominating Stockholder disclosed as owned in its Nomination Notice, with the process repeated if the Maximum Number is not reached after each Nominating Stockholder has selected one Stockholder Nominee. If, after the deadline for submitting a Nomination Notice as set forth in Section 3.03(c)(iv), a Nominating Stockholder becomes ineligible or withdraws its nomination or a Stockholder Nominee becomes ineligible or unwilling to serve on the Board, whether before or after the mailing of the definitive proxy statement, then the Corporation: (1) shall not be required to include in its proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy the Stockholder Nominee or any successor or replacement nominee proposed by the Nominating Stockholder or by any other Nominating Stockholder and (2) may otherwise communicate to its stockholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or form of proxy, that the Stockholder Nominee will not be included as a Stockholder Nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or form of proxy and will not be voted on at the annual meeting of stockholders.

 

(iii)          (A) An “Eligible Stockholder” is a person who has either (1) been a record holder of the shares of common stock of the Corporation used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 3.03(c) continuously for the three-year period specified in Section 3.03(c)(iii)(B) below or (2) provides to the Secretary of the Corporation, within the time period referred to in Section 3.03(c)(iv), evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that the Board or its designee, acting in good faith, determines acceptable.

 

(B)   An Eligible Stockholder or group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders may submit a nomination in accordance with this Section 3.03(c) only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number (as defined below) (as adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or similar events) of shares of the Corporation’s common stock throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number of shares through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. The following shall be treated as one Eligible Stockholder if such Eligible Stockholder shall provide together with the Nomination Notice documentation satisfactory to the Board or its designee, acting in good faith, that demonstrates compliance with the following criteria: (1) funds under common management and investment control; (2) funds under common management and funded primarily by the same employer; or (3) a “family of investment companies” or a “group of investment companies” (each as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a Nominating Stockholder that includes more than one Eligible Stockholder, any and all requirements and obligations for a given Eligible Stockholder or, except as the context otherwise makes clear, the Nominating Stockholder that are set forth in this Section 3.03(c), including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the aggregate ownership of the group of Eligible Stockholders constituting the Nominating Stockholder.
