Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of a corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

To eliminate the costs and management time involved in soliciting and obtaining proxies to approve the Actions and to effectuate the Actions as early as possible to accomplish the purposes of the Company as hereafter described, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company. The consenting shareholders, all of which are officers and directors of the Company, and their respective approximate ownership percentage of the voting stock of the Company as of the Voting Record Date, which total in the aggregate 52.24% of the outstanding voting stock, are as follows: Gary Graham 137,261,296 (52.44% of common stock and 52.24% of total votes – shares voted pursuant to irrevocable proxies).

This Information Statement is intended to provide such notice. This Information Statement is being distributed pursuant to the requirements of Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to the Company’s stockholders on the Record Date. The corporate action described herein will be effective approximately 20 days (the “ ”) after the mailing of this Information Statement. The 20-day Period is expected to conclude on or about April 20, 2020.

 

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company.

 

  

 

Directors are normally elected by the shareholders at each annual meeting to hold office until their respective successors are elected and qualified, and need not be shareholders of the Company or residents of the State of Delaware. Directors may receive compensation for their services as determined by the Board of Directors. See “Compensation of Directors.” Presently, the Board consists of four (4) members, namely, Kevin Moore, David Gandini, Charles Bennington, and Gary Graham.

 

Voting for the election of directors is non-cumulative, which means that a simple majority of the shares voting may elect all of the directors. Each share of Common Stock and Preferred Stock is entitled to one (1) vote and, therefore, has a number of votes equal to the number of authorized directors.

 

In accordance with Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Bylaws, on March 9, 2020 the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting rights voted to remove the current four directors from the Company’s Board of Directors and re-appoint them simultaneously, with both actions to be effective at the same time as the amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation discussed herein.

 

Although the Company’s management expects that each of the following nominees will be available to serve as a director, in the event that any of them should become unavailable prior to being appointed, a replacement will be appointed by a majority of the then-existing Board of Directors. Management has no reason to believe that any of its nominees, if elected, will be unavailable to serve. All nominees are expected to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

 

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to persons nominated by the Board of Directors of the Company for election as directors of the Company and who will be elected following the effective date of the actions in this Information Statement:

All of the directors are compensated by the Company for other positions they hold with the Company, but not for their role as a director.

 

 

During the current fiscal year the Board of Directors has met on a regular basis and took written action on numerous other occasions. All the members of the Board attended the meetings. The written actions were by unanimous consent.

 

 

 

 

On March 9, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, declared it advisable and in the Company’s best interest, and directed that there be submitted to the holders of a majority of the Company’s Common Stock for approval, the prospective amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to SOBR SAFE, Inc. (the “ ”). On March 9, 2020, stockholders of the Company owning a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock (the “ ”) approved the Name Change Amendment by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting of the stockholders.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company and the Majority Stockholders believe that it is advisable and in the Company’s best interests to authorize and approve the Name Change Amendment in order to more accurately reflect the Company’s business and operations and the SOBR device.

 

The Name Change Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as , will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State with an expected effective date of April 20, 2020.

 

  

 

 

On March 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, declared it advisable and in the Company’s best interest, and directed that there be submitted to the holders of a majority of the Company’s Common Stock for approval, the prospective amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “ ”) to effect a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock of between 1-for-32 and 1-for-35, with the exact split ratio to be determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors without further shareholder approval (the “ ”). The exact ratio of the Reverse Stock Split shall be determined by the Board at a later time prior to the filing of the prospective amendment with the Name Change and Decrease in Authorized Amendment (see below) and shall be limited to one of the following fractional Reverse Split ratios (each a “ ”): (i) 32-for-1 Reverse Stock Split; (ii) 33-for-1 Reverse Stock Split; (iii) 34-for-1 Reverse Stock Split; or (iv) 35-for-1 Reverse Stock Split. The exact Reverse Ratio will be chosen by the Company’s Board of Directors in order to ensure the Company can comply with the terms of the IDTEC Asset Purchase Transaction (as described below), under which the Company can only have approximately 8,000,000 shares outstanding at the closing. On March 9, 2020, stockholders of the Company controlling a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock (the “Majority Stockholders”) approved the Reverse Stock Split and Reverse Ratios by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders.

 

 

This corporate action provides for the combination of our presently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of identical Common Stock. This is known as a "reverse stock split." For example, if the Board approves of a 35-for-1 Reverse Stock Split, a shareholder owning 3,500 shares of Common Stock prior to such Reverse Stock Split would hold 100 shares of Common Stock following such Reverse Stock Split. THE HIGHER THE REVERSE RATIO (35-FOR-1 BEING HIGHER THAN 32-FOR-1 FOR EXAMPLE), THE GREATER THE DECREASE OF RELATED SHARES EACH EXISTING SHAREHOLDER, POST-REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, WILL EXPERIENCE.

 

In deciding the Reverse Ratio to be used, the Board of Directors will determine how many shares of Common Stock are outstanding prior to the closing of the IDTEC Asset Purchase Transaction (as described below) and select the appropriate Reverse Ratio that will make the Company’s outstanding Common Stock approximately 8,000,000 shares at the closing of the transaction.

 

Under the proposal, once the Reverse Ratio has been determined, the applicable number of shares (between 35-to-1 and 32-to-1) of our then issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the close of business on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split will be converted automatically into one (1) share of our post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock. Fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, we will issue one share of our post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as he or she did immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, except for adjustments required due to the treatment of fractional shares. The Reverse Stock Split does not change the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

 

 

On May 6, 2019, we signed a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (and signed an Amendment No. 1 dated March 9, 2020, together the “ ”) with IDTEC, LLC (“IDTEC”), under which IDTEC agreed to provide personnel, experience, and access to funding to assist with the development of our SOBR device, as well as to sell to us certain robotics assets, which our management believes are synergistic with our current assets, in exchange for 12,000,000 shares of our Common Stock (post-Reverse Stock Split). One of the conditions of closing the APA was that we must complete a reverse stock split of our Common Stock such that approximately 8,000,000 shares will be outstanding immediately prior to closing the transaction and after the Reverse Stock Split being effective. One of the primary reasons we are effecting the Reverse Stock Split is to comply with our requirements under the APA so we may close the transaction.

 

 

In addition to the requirements of the APA, there are other reasons we are effecting the Reverse Stock Split, such as:

 

 

The reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to result from the Reverse Stock Split is expected to increase the market price of the Common Stock to a level above the current market trading price. While the Board believes that the shares of Common Stock will trade at higher prices than those which have prevailed in the recent past, there can be no assurance that such increase in the trading price will occur or, if it does occur, that it will equal or exceed the direct arithmetical result of the Reverse Stock Split because there are numerous factors and contingencies which could affect our market price.

 

The Company’s Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Market Groups, Inc. under the symbol “IMLE.” A higher per share price for the Common Stock may enable the Company to meet minimum bid price criteria for initial listing of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange at such time as we implement our future business plans. Because trading of our Common Stock is conducted in the over-the-counter market, an investor could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Common Stock. In addition, because the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and presently trades at less than $5.00 per share, trading in our Common Stock is subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by brokers or dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock." Because our Common Stock is presently classified as a "penny stock," prior to effectuating any transaction in our Common Stock, a broker or dealer is required to make a suitability determination as to the proposed purchaser of our Common Stock and to receive a written agreement, meeting certain requirements. The additional burdens imposed upon brokers or dealers by such requirements could discourage brokers or dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock, which could limit the market liquidity of our Common Stock and the ability of investors to trade our Common Stock.

 

 

The Reverse Stock Split will be effected and will be effective upon a date on or after the expiration of the 20-day Period after the mailing of this Information Statement. The 20-day Period is expected to conclude on or about April 20, 2020.

 

Adoption of the Reverse Stock Split will reduce the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the effective date of the split but will not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split also will have no effect on the par value of the Common Stock. The effect of the Reverse Stock Split upon holders of Common Stock will be that the total number of shares of our Common Stock held by each stockholder will be automatically converted into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock owned immediately prior to the reverse stock split divided by a number between 32 and 35 shares, adjusted for any fractional shares. Each of our stockholders will continue to own shares of Common Stock and will continue to share in the assets and future growth of the Company as a stockholder. Each stockholder that would own less than one share after the Reverse Stock Split will receive one (1) whole share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will only change slightly due to adjustments for fractional shares.

 

 

 

In connection with the approval of the Reverse Stock Split, shareholders of the Company will not have a right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares under the Delaware Corporations Code, the Certificate of Incorporation, or Bylaws.

 

 

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the par value of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to Common Stock would be increased from then current amount by a factor that equals the Reverse Ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account would be debited with the amount by which the stated capital is increased. The per share net income or loss and net book value per share will be increased because there will be fewer shares issued and outstanding.

 

 

The following discussion sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences that the Company’s management believes will apply with respect to the Company and the shareholders of the Company who are United States holders at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior to or after the Reverse Stock Split, including, without limitation, the tax consequences of the exercise of options, warrants, or similar rights to purchase stock. For this purpose, a United States holder is a shareholder that is: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii) a domestic corporation; (iii) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or (iv) a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of his particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign individuals, and entities and persons who acquired their Common Stock as compensation). In addition, this summary is limited to shareholders who hold their Common Stock as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, or foreign jurisdiction. Accordingly, each shareholder is strongly urged to consult with a tax adviser to determine the particular federal, state, local, or foreign income or other tax consequences to such shareholder related to any Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be a tax-free recapitalization to the Company and its stockholders, except for those stockholders who receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share. Stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, except for those stockholders receiving shares of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share (as described herein). The holding period for shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will include the holding period of shares of Common Stock before the Reverse Stock Split, provided that such shares of Common Stock are held as a capital asset at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment. The adjusted basis of the shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will be the same as the adjusted basis of the shares of Common Stock before the Reverse Stock Split, excluding the basis of fractional shares. A stockholder who receives shares of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share generally may recognize gain in an amount not to exceed the excess of the fair market value of such shares over the fair market value of the fractional share to which the stockholder was otherwise entitled.

 

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR PERSON. IN PARTICULAR, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUMMARY ASSUMES THAT THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE HELD AS “CAPITAL ASSETS” AS DEFINED IN THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED, AND DOES NOT CONSIDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS IN LIGHT OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT CIRCUMSTANCES OR TO HOLDERS WHO MAY BE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL TREATMENT UNDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS (SUCH AS DEALERS IN SECURITIES, INSURANCE COMPANIES, FOREIGN INDIVIDUALS AND ENTITIES, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, AND TAX EXEMPT ENTITIES). IN ADDITION, THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY CONSEQUENCES OF ANY REVERSE SPLIT UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS. THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ANY REVERSE SPLIT MAY VARY AS TO EACH STOCKHOLDER DEPENDING ON THE STATE IN WHICH SUCH STOCKHOLDER RESIDES.

 

 

AS A RESULT, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH STOCKHOLDER TO OBTAIN AND RELY ON ADVICE FROM HIS, HER, OR ITS TAX ADVISOR AS TO, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: (A) THE EFFECT ON HIS, HER, OR ITS TAX SITUATION OF ANY REVERSE SPLIT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS; (B) THE EFFECT OF POSSIBLE FUTURE LEGISLATION OR REGULATIONS; AND (C) THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY REVERSE SPLIT ON HIS, HER, OR ITS OWN TAX RETURNS. IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH STOCKHOLDER TO PREPARE AND FILE ALL APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND, IF APPLICABLE, FOREIGN TAX RETURNS.

 

 

The Company should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

 

Share Certificate Transfer Instructions

 

SHARE CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO US OR THE TRANSFER AGENT UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER DESIRES A NEW STOCK CERTIFICATE IN THE POST-SPLIT SHARE AMOUNT.

 

Until a stockholder forwards a completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing such stockholder's shares of pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to the transfer agent and receives in return a certificate representing shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, such stockholder's pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock shall be deemed equal to the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to which such stockholder is entitled as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

 

The Reverse Stock Split Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as , will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State with an expected effective date of April 20, 2020.

 

 

 

On March 9, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, declared it advisable and in the Company’s best interest, and directed that there be submitted to the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting stock for approval, the prospective amendment to the Fourth Article of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the authorized Common Stock from 800,000,000 shares, par value $0.00001, to 100,000,000 shares, par value $0.00001 (the “ ”). On March 9, 2020, the Majority Stockholders approved the Decrease in Authorized Amendment by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders.

 

 

Currently, the Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Of the 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, as of the Voting Record Date, there were 261,727,117 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and approximately 69,000,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock and other convertible instruments. After the Reverse Stock Split, as detailed herein, the Company will have approximately 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, with an additional 12,000,000 to be issued in the IDTEC Asset Purchase Transaction and between approximately 1,900,000 and 2,200,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock and other convertible instruments (depending on the Reverse Ratio selected).

 

 

As a general matter, the Majority Stockholders believe the current available number of unissued shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split is too many shares to be potentially issued at the discretion of the Board of Directors without going back to the Company’s shareholders for approval prior to issuance. As a result the Majority Stockholders approved the Decrease in Authorized Amendment.

 

The Board of Directors is considering, and will continue to consider, various financing options, including the issuance of either Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock from time to time to raise additional capital necessary to support future growth of the Company. As a result of the Decrease in Authorized Amendment, the Board of Directors feels potential investors will be more likely to invest in the Company’s securities if the Company’s Board of Directors can only issue up to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock as opposed to 800,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

 

The shares of Common Stock authorized by the Decrease in Authorized Amendment may be issued for any proper purpose from time to time upon authorization by the Board of Directors, without further approval by the stockholders unless required by applicable law, rule, or regulation, including, without limitation, rules of any trading market that the Company’s Common Stock may trade on at that time. Shares may be issued for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine and as may be permitted by applicable law.

 

 

The current officers and directors of the Company and the officers and directors of the Company when the Decrease in Authorized Amendment was approved by the Board of Directors do not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the approval of the Decrease in Authorized Amendment, other than as stockholders of the Company.

 

 

The Decrease in Authorized Amendment was not approved as a means of preventing or dissuading a change in control or takeover of the Company. However, lowering the number of shares that can be issued could decrease the opportunity for a future change of control or takeover of the Company. Except for the IDTEC Asset Purchase Transaction, the Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company have no knowledge of any current effort to obtain control of the Company or to accumulate large amounts of Common Stock.

 

The holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of additional Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or such other securities might dilute the ownership and voting rights of stockholders.

 

The holders of Common Stock will not realize any dilution in their percentage of ownership of our company or their voting rights as a result of the decrease. However, issuances of significant numbers of additional shares of Common Stock in the future (i) may dilute stockholders’ percentage ownership of our company; and (ii) if such shares are issued at prices below what current stockholders paid for their shares, may dilute the value of current stockholders’ shares.

 

The Decrease in Authorized Amendment does not change the terms of the Common Stock.

 

The Decrease in Authorized Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as , will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State with an expected effective date of April 20, 2020.

 

 

The following table sets forth, as of March 9, 2020, certain information with respect to our equity securities owned of record or beneficially by (i) each officer and director of the Company; (ii) each person who owns beneficially more than 5% of each class of the Company’s outstanding equity securities; and (iii) all directors and executive officers as a group.

 

________________ 

 

 

 

The issuer is not aware of any person who owns of record, or is known to own beneficially, five percent or more of the outstanding securities of any class of the issuer, other than as set forth above. The issuer is not aware of any person who controls the issuer as specified in Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. There are no classes of stock other than Common Stock and 8% Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock issued or outstanding. The Company does not have an investment advisor.

 

 

We have not undergone any recent change of control transactions. When we close the IDTEC Asset Purchase Transaction, we will undergo a change of control transaction such that IDTEC and/or its affiliates will control approximately 60% of our outstanding Common Stock.
