The cancellation of the 300,000,00 shares of the Company’s common stock results in the decrease of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from 576,495,148 to 276,495,148, or a 52.1% reduction in the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of its common stock.
Cancellation of Shares of 300,000,000 Common Stock
In exchange for the return of the 300,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company issued to the Stockholder 3,000,000 shares of its newly designated Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

Further, the Series A Preferred Stock cannot be converted prior to November 2023, barring any triggering event, which we believe will help maintain stability in the market price of our common stock. We are always evaluating stockholder-friendly options available that we believe will assist us in achieving our goal of increasing value for our long-term investors,” said Niraj Patel, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
