Item 8.01 Other Events.
It has come to our attention that the version of Articles of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the S-1 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 2, 2008 does not accurately reflect our actual Articles of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada. The S-1 and the exhibits thereto were filed by previous management prior to the change in control in the company in connection with the share exchange transaction disclosed in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 24, 2010. Although the version of the Articles of Incorporation filed with the S-1 correctly reflects that our total number of shares of stock authorized for issuance is 75,000,000 shares with par value $0.001 per share, it incorrectly reflects that those shares consist of 70,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. In actuality, we have 75,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and no shares of preferred stock authorized. As reflected in our ongoing filings with the SEC, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding and we have never attempted to designate or issue any class of preferred stock or issue any securities convertible into preferred stock.
The correct version of our Articles of Incorporation, as originally filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada, is included with this current report as Exhibit 3.1.
