If your shares are registered directly in your name with VStock Transfer, LLC, our transfer agent, you are considered a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record at the close of business on December 20, 2018, you can vote in person at the Special Meeting or you can provide a proxy to be voted at the Special Meeting by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card pursuant to the instructions therein. If you submit a proxy card, we will vote your shares as you direct. If you submit a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, those shares will be voted as recommended by the Board. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or otherwise by a nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are held in “street name”. If you hold your shares in “street name”, you will receive instructions from your broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. If you do not instruct your broker or other nominee how to vote such shares, they may vote your shares as they decide as to each matter for which they have discretionary authority under the applicable law. On those matters as to which those rules do not permit brokers or other nominees to vote in the absence of instructions from the account holder, the broker or other nominee will not vote the shares on the matter (this is a “broker non-vote”).

 

By Online: Vote online at the following site: (https://www.vstocktransfer.com). All online votes must be received by the Company’s transfer agent on or before 11:59 P.M. (EST) on January 10, 2019.

All votes delivered by e-mail must be received by the Company stock transfer agent on or before 11:59 P.M. (EST) on January 10, 2019. If you do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

If you do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

 

If any other matters are properly presented at the Special Meeting for consideration, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the Special Meeting to another time or place, the individuals named as proxies and acting thereunder will have discretion to vote on those matters according to their best judgment to the same extent as the person delivering the proxy would be entitled to vote. If the Special Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will remain valid and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting. You will still be able to revoke your proxy until it is voted. At the date this proxy statement went to press, we did not anticipate that any other matters would be raised at the Special Meeting.

 

Quorum

 

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting shall constitute a quorum, which is required in order to transact business at the Special Meeting. Each Proposal in this proxy statement sets forth the requisite vote for approval of such Proposal.

 

Cost of Proxy Distribution and Solicitation

 

The proxy accompanying this Proxy Statement is being solicited by our Board of Directors. The Company will pay the expenses of the preparation of the proxy materials and the solicitation by the Board of proxies. Proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Company in person or by telephone, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means by directors, officers or employees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for soliciting. We will also request banks, brokers, and other stockholders of record to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our Common Stock. If required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares of the Company Stock. We anticipate the costs of the preparation and solicitation of the proxies to be less than $10,000.

PROPOSAL 1 - RATIFIFICATION OF AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 


General

 

Prior to this amendment, Article 1 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provided that the name of the Corporation is Sharing Services, Inc.

 

The Company intends to continue to grow its business, both organically and by making strategic acquisitions of businesses and technologies that augment its products portfolio, complement its business competencies and fit its overall growth strategy. This includes growing the business both organically and by making acquisitions inside or outside the United States. The Company believes there are excellent growth opportunities outside the United States, including in Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to change the name of the corporation to more closely reflect this strategic direction and these business goals.

 

After the proposed amendment is ratified, if ratified, the name of the corporation will be changed to Sharing Services Global Corporation.

 

Vote Required

 

Proposal 1 asks that stockholders vote to ratify the amendment to the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. The sole purpose of the amendment is to change the name of the corporation to Sharing Services Global Corporation.

 

You may vote in favor or against this proposal. The affirmative vote of at least eighty-six (86) percent of the voting power of all shares of stock entitled to vote in an election of directors, at which a quorum is present, is required for the amendments to the Articles of Incorporation to be approved. For purposes of the vote on this matter, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although each type of vote will count toward the presence of quorum.

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MEMBERS

The policies contained in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics embody the principles, policies, processes and practices followed by our Board, executive officers and employees in governing us.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Policy

 

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees. Copies of this document are available in print to any person, without charge, upon written request to our Investor Relations Department at 1700 Coit Road, Suite 100, Plano, Texas 75075.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among our directors or between our directors and other officers. None of our directors and officers currently serve as directors or executive officers of any SEC registrant.

 

Election of Directors and Officers

 

Directors hold office until the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in the year specified when each director is elected or until the election/qualification of their respective successors.

Our Bylaws permit our Board to fill any vacancy and such director may serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and the due election and qualification of their successor.

Board Leadership and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Our Board recognizes that selecting the optimal leadership structure and the proper combination or separation of roles, such as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles, must closely consider and is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. The Board has not adopted a policy requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure.

 

 7 

 

 

From December 2016 to March 1, 2018, Mr. Jordan Brock served as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the registrant. Effective March 1, 2018, the Board appointed Mr. John (“JT”) Thatch to serve as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the registrant. Mr. Robert Oblon has served as Chairman of the Board since his appointment in November 2017. The Board reserves the right to modify the leadership structure as needed to best meet the needs of the Company from time to time.

 

The Board oversees our stockholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall success of the Company and its financial strengths. The full Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. It does so in part through discussion and review of our business, financial and corporate governance practices and procedures. The Board, as a whole, reviews the risks confronted by the Company with respect to its operations and financial condition, establishes limits of risk tolerance with respect to the Company’s activities and ensures adequate property and liability insurance coverage.

 

Meetings of the Board and Stockholder Communications

 

Our Board conducted all of its business and approved all corporate action during the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to April 30, 2018, and during the period from May 1, 2018 to present, in meetings attended by all directors or by the unanimous written consent of all directors in the absence of a Board meeting. Holders of the Company’s securities can send communications to the Board via mail or telephone to the Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices. The Company has not yet established a policy with respect to Board members’ attendance at stockholders’ meetings. A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our Board may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President at the address appearing on the first page of this proxy statement.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership. Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us by persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, we believe that during the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to April 30, 2018, all such reports were filed in a timely manner. During the period from May 5, 2017 (inception) to April 30, 2018, all such reports required of our officers and directors were filed in a timely manner.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Our Board does not believe that it is practical due to the limited number of directors currently serving, nor necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the Board as a whole. We have not adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The Board does not currently have an Audit Committee. The duties of members of an Audit Committee are currently carried out by the Board as a whole.

 

Director Independence

 

Quotations for our Common Stock are entered on the OTC Bulletin Board and OTC Markets inter-dealer quotation systems, which do not have director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Currently, each of our directors, except Mr. Oblon, also serves as an executive officer or employee of the corporation.
