NOTICE
OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN PURSUANT TO THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF
HOLDERS
OFA MAJORITY OF THE VOTING POWER OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK
IN
LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS, DATED JANUARY 16,
2007
To
Our
Stockholders:
NOTICE
IS
HEREBY GIVEN to the holders of record at the close of business on February___,
2007 (the “Notice Record Date”) to inform our stockholders that our board of
directors has recommended, and that the holders of a majority of the voting
power of our outstanding common stock voted on January 16, 2007 to approve
amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value
(the “Common Stock”), from 100,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares. (The text
of the Amended Certificate of Incorporation of Aftersoft Group, Inc. (the
“Company”) is attached hereto as Exhibit
A.)
Therefore,
following the expiration of the twenty-day (20) period required by Rule 14c
and
the provisions of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company
will file a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (the
“Certificate of Amendment”) to give effect to the amendment. We will not file
the Certificate of Amendment until at least twenty (20) days after the filing
and mailing of this Information Statement to our stockholders. The Certificate
of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will become effective when
it
is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. We anticipate that such filing
will occur on or after twenty (20) days after this Information Statement is
first mailed to our stockholders.
The
purpose of increasing the authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of Common
Stock to 150,000,000 shares is to provide us with the necessary flexibility
to
implement any future corporate plans. We hope to develop plans and agreements
to
undertake and complete within the next two to three months to raise funds
through the private placement of an as-yet undetermined amount of as-yet
undetermined securities at an as-yet undetermined price. Otherwise, the Company
has no current plans, proposals, or arrangements to issue additional shares
of
Common Stock.
As
of the
Notice Record Date, 79,821,167 shares of Common Stock were issued and
outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on
all
matters brought before the common stockholders. The holders of a majority of
the
voting power of our outstanding Common Stock voted for the approval of the
Certificate of Amendment.
The
entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the
Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries
and
other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial
owners of the Common Stock held of record by them.

AMENDMENT
TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
On
January 16, 2007, the holders of the majority of the voting power of our
outstanding Common Stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from
100,000,000 to 150,000,000. As of the Notice Record Date, the Company had
79,821,167 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding. The Board believes that the increase in authorized common shares
would provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the Company’s
capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financing, and
stock-based acquisitions.
Increase
In Authorized Common Stock
The
terms
of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the
currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because holders of Common
Stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock
of the Company, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce
the current stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding
shares of Common Stock. This amendment and the creation of additional shares
of
authorized Common Stock will not alter the current number of issued shares.
The
relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain
unchanged under this amendment.
The
increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares would enable the
Company, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to
time
as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional
capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits
and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate
purposes.
The
proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock could
have
a number of effects on the Company’s stockholders depending upon the exact
nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued
shares. The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional
shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one
or
more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company
more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by the Company
so
as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain
control of the Company, even if the persons seeking to obtain control of the
Company offer an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the
independent stockholders. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to
certain persons allied with the Company’s management could have the effect of
making it more difficult to remove the Company’s current management by diluting
the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal.
The Company does not have any other provisions in its certificate or
incorporation, by-laws, employment agreements, credit agreements or any other
documents that have material anti-takeover consequences. Additionally, the
Company has no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other
arrangements, except as disclosed below, that may have material anti-takeover
consequences. The board of directors is not aware of any attempt, or
contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and this proposal
is
not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of
anti-takeover device.
The
purpose of increasing the authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of common
stock to 150,000,000 shares is to provide the Company with the necessary
flexibility to implement any future corporate plans. The Company hopes to
develop plans and agreements to undertake and complete within the next two
to
three months to raise funds through the private placement of an as-yet
undetermined amount of as-yet undetermined securities at an as-yet undetermined
price. Otherwise, the Company has no current plans, proposals, or arrangements
to issue additional common shares.
The
proposed form of Certificate of Amendment is attached as Exhibit
A
hereto.
