RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

ACTIONS TAKEN

 

ACTION I - NAME CHANGE

AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY

 

The Board of Directors has determined that since the Company intends to focus on the business model of VNUE, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, the Name Change and Symbol Change better reflect the nature of the Company’s new business direction.

 

Purpose of the Name Change

 

On June 6, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors and the Majority Stockholders owning a majority of the Company’s voting securities approved a resolution authorizing the Company to amend the Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to VNUE, Inc.  The Board believes that the Name Change better reflects the nature of the Company’s anticipated operations and that a corresponding trading symbol change would be consistent.

 

Amended Certificate of Incorporation

 

Upon the effectiveness and on the date that is twenty (20) days following the mailing of this Information Statement, the Board of Directors shall have the Company’s Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation filed with the State of Nevada in order to effect the name change.

 

To reduce the expenses of delivering multiple materials to our stockholders, we are taking advantage of rules that permit us to deliver only one Information Statement to stockholders who share the same address unless otherwise requested.

 

If you share an address with another stockholder and have received only one Information Statement, you may write or call us to request a separate copy at no cost to you. For future mailings, you may request separate materials, or, if you are receiving multiple copies you may request that we only send one set of materials, by writing to us at Tierra Grande Resources, Inc. 3209 Utah Ave S, Seattle, Washington 98134.
