NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION
APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
The following action has been approved by the written consent of the holders together entitled to vote a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock:
APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK AND
AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE SPLIT
Purpose of the Reverse Split
The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to effect a reverse split of our Common Stock of one share for every five shares outstanding so that every five outstanding shares of Common Stock before the stock split shall represent one share of Common Stock after the stock split with all fractional shares rounded up to the next whole share (the “Reverse Split”). The Board of Directors believes that our Common Stock is undervalued and that the Reverse Split will allow the Company’s Common Stock to trade in a more realistic price range.
Additionally, the Board believes that the Reverse Split could help maintain the Company’s listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(1) requires a minimum bid price of $1 per share for a NASDAQ listed company to continue listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). The closing bid prices of the Company’s Common Stock have been below $1.00 per share for a number of consecutive business days. On July 2, 2012, the Company received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. NASDAQ indicated in its letter that, based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the requirement set forth in Listing Rule 5550, which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share.
According to the Listing Rule 5810, the Company now has a period of 180 calendar days from such letter to regain compliance. Compliance can be achieved by meeting the standard of a minimum bid price of $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during the 180 day period.
Given the receipt of such a deficiency letter from NASDAQ, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect the Reverse Split to increase the market price of the Company’s Common Stock so that the Company is able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
Certain Risks Associated With the Reverse Split
While the Board believes that the Company’s Common Stock would trade at higher prices after the consummation of the Reverse Split, there can be no assurance that the increase in the trading price will occur, or, if it does occur, that it will equal or exceed five times the market price of the Common Stock prior to the Reverse Split. In some cases, the total market value of a company following a reverse stock split is lower, and may be substantially lower, than the total market value before the reverse stock split. In addition, the fewer number of shares that will be available to trade could possibly cause the trading market of the Common Stock to become less liquid, which could have an adverse effect on the price of the Common Stock. We cannot provide any assurance that the Company’s Common Stock will meet the NASDAQ Capital Market continued listing requirements following the Reverse Split. The market price of the Common Stock is based on our performance and other factors, some of which may be unrelated to the number of our shares outstanding.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will result in a per share price that will attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stock.
Principal Effects of the Reverse Split
On the effective date of the Reverse Split, each five shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split effective date (the “Old Shares”) will automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders be converted into one share of our Common Stock (the “New Shares”). In the following discussion, we provide examples of the effects of a one-for-five reverse stock split.
Corporate Matters.
The Reverse Split would have the following effects based upon the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 31, 2012:
|
|
●
|
in a one-for-five reverse stock split, every five of our Old Shares owned by a stockholder would be exchanged for one New Share; and
|
|
|
●
|
the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 19,571,785 shares to 3,914,357 shares.
|
The Reverse Split will be effected simultaneously for all of our outstanding Common Stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all of our outstanding Common Stock. The Reverse Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. As described below, stockholders and holders of options and warrants holding fractional shares will have their shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable.
Fractional Shares.
No scrip or fractional share certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of Old Shares not evenly divisible by the one for five reverse stock split ratio, will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing these shares, to a number of shares of New Shares rounded up to the nearest whole number. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the stockholder any voting, dividend or other rights except to have his or her fractional interest rounded up to the nearest whole number when the New Shares are issued.
Options and Warrants.
All outstanding options, warrants, notes, debentures and other securities convertible to Common Stock will be adjusted as a result of the Reverse Split, as required by the terms of these securities. In particular, the conversion ratio for each instrument will be reduced, and the exercise price, if applicable, will be increased, in accordance with the terms of each instrument and based on the one-for-five ratio.
Authorized Shares.
The Company is presently authorized under its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock would remain the same, although the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will decrease. Because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will decrease, the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance will increase. The issuance in the future of additional shares of our Common Stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights of the currently outstanding shares of our Common Stock. The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of the Company’s Common Stock may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect as further discussed below. Authorized but unissued shares will be available for issuance, and we may issue such shares in future financings or otherwise. If we issue additional shares, the ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock would be diluted. Also, the issued shares may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our Common Stock. The Company does not currently have any plans, proposal or arrangement to issue any of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.
Accounting Matters.
The Reverse Split will not affect the par value of our Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced in proportion to the Reverse Split ratio (that is, in a one-for-five reverse stock split, the stated capital attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced to one half of its existing amount) and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will also be increased because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.
Potential Anti-Takeover Effect.
Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company), the Reverse Split was not proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of Common Stock or obtain control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions having an anti-takeover effect to our Board of Directors and stockholders. Other than the Reverse Split and Amendment, our Board of Directors does not currently contemplate recommending the adoption of any other corporate action that could be construed to affect the ability of third parties to take over or change control of the Company.
The number of shares held by each individual stockholder will be reduced if the Reverse Split is implemented. This will increase the number of stockholders who hold less than a “round lot,” or 100 shares. Typically, the transaction costs to stockholders selling “odd lots” are higher on a per share basis. Consequently, the Reverse Split could increase the transaction costs to existing stockholders in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their shares.
The Company is subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed Reverse Split will not affect the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act. If the proposed Reverse Split is implemented, our Common Stock will continue to be reported on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CNYD” (although NASDAQ will add the letter “D” to the end of the trading symbol for a period of 20 trading days to indicate that the Reverse Split has occurred). We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Procedure for Effecting a Reverse Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates
The Reverse Split will be accomplished by amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to include the paragraph immediately below substantially in the following form:
“On August 1, 2012 the Corporation’s Board of Directors and a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote on the action approved a 5 to 1 reverse stock split to be effective at 5:00 p.m. on September [ ], 2012 or as soon as the Corporation completes filing an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Split Effective Date”), each five (5) shares of the corporation’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Split Effective Date (the “Old Common Stock”) shall automatically reclassified and changed into one (1) share without any action on part of the holder thereof, which the Corporation shall be authorized to issue immediately subsequent to the Split Effective Date (the “New Common Stock”). Each holder of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Split Effective Date represented outstanding shares of Old Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”) shall, from and after the Split Effective Date, be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Old Certificates to the Corporation’s transfer agent for cancellation, a certificate or certificates (the “New Certificates”) representing the shares of New Common Stock into which the shares of Old Common Stock formerly represented by such Old Certificates so surrendered are reclassified under the terms hereof. No fractional shares of New Common Stock of the Corporation shall be issued. The Corporation shall not recognize on its stock record books any purported transfer of any fractional share of Common Stock of the Corporation. Instead, any fractional share shall be rounded to the next whole share.
This Corporation is authorized to issue the following capital stock:
(a) The total number of shares which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is One Hundred Ten Million (110,000,000), consisting of One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (hereafter called the “Common Stock”), and Ten Thousand Million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, (hereinafter called the “Preferred Stock”).
(b) Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (hereinafter the “Board”), each of which series shall consist of such number of shares and have such distinctive designation or title as shall be fixed by resolution of the Board prior to the issuance of any shares of such series. Each such class or series of Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution of the Board providing for the issuances of such series of Preferred Stock.”
A copy of the form of Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is attached hereto as
Appendix A
.
The Reverse Split will become effective at such future date as determined by the Board of Directors, as evidenced by the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (which we refer to as the “Effective Time”), but in no event earlier than the 20
th
calendar day following the mailing of this Information Statement. Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing Old Shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of New Shares.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Split has been effected. The Company expects that its transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of Old Shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing Old Shares in exchange for certificates representing New Shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in the letter of transmittal the Company sends to its stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to any stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s), together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. Any Old Shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale, other disposition or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for New Shares. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC does not charge a fee for each certificate issued representing New Shares.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S)
AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split to a current stockholder of the Company that is a “United States person,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (sometimes referred to herein as a “U.S. stockholder”), and who holds stock of the Company as a “capital asset,” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the Reverse Split. Tax considerations applicable to a particular stockholder will depend on that stockholder’s individual circumstances. The discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to particular categories of stockholders subject to special treatment under certain U.S. federal income tax laws (such as dealers in securities or currencies, banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker-dealers, regulated investment companies, real estate investment companies, real estate mortgage investment conduits and foreign individuals and entities). The discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift or estate tax laws, or the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. In addition, the discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold stock of the Company through such entities.
The following discussion is based upon the Code, U.S. Treasury Department regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change or to varying interpretation at any time. Any such changes or varying interpretations may also be applied retroactively. The following discussion has no binding effect on the IRS or the courts.
No gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. stockholder upon such stockholder’s deemed exchange of Old Shares for New Shares pursuant to the Reverse Split. The aggregate tax basis of the New Shares received in the Reverse Split should be the same as such stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Old Shares being exchanged, and the holding period of the New Shares should include the holding period of such stockholder in the Old Shares.
Because of the complexity of the tax laws and because the tax consequences to the Company or to any particular stockholder may be affected by matters not discussed herein, stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to them in connection with the Reverse Split, including tax reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of foreign, U.S. federal, state and local and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote on these corporate actions has been received in the form of a written consent in lieu of special meeting.
Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal
We are a Delaware corporation and are governed by the DGCL. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock do not have appraisal or dissenter’s rights under the DGCL in connection with the Reverse Split or the filing of the Amendment as approved by Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company.
Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon
No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Reverse Split that is not shared by all other stockholders of ours.
