NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
To the Stockholders of ProText Mobility, Inc.:
This Information Statement is furnished to the stockholders of ProText Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ProText” or the “Company”), in connection with our prior receipt of approval by written consent in lieu of a special meeting, of: (i) an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 950,000,000 to 10,000,000,000 shares (the “Increase”); (ii) a decrease in the par value of the Company’s common stock to $.00001 par value (the “Par Value Change”); (iii) a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of up to 5,000 for 1 (the “Stock Split”); and (iv) an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock to eliminate the protective provisions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 7 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “COD Amendment”). The approval of each of the Increase, Par Value Change and Stock Split was obtained on October 21, 2013 from six stockholders of the Company that are holders of approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect to each of the proposals, which stockholders own 550,055 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, 3,650,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 223,200,089 shares of the Company’s common stock. The approval of the COD Amendment was obtained on October 21, 2013 from six stockholders of the Company that are holders of approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect to such amendment, which stockholders own all 550,055 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, 3,650,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 223,200,089 shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cast two votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock on an as converted basis. Each holder of a share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to 100 votes per share. The Increase, Par Value Change and Stock Split cannot be effectuated until twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement and after the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and the COD Amendment cannot be effectuated until twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement and after the filing of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State .
PROTEXT IS NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED TO NOT SEND A PROXY. Because the written consent of the holders of a majority of our voting power with respect to the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized number of shares of common stock, decrease our par value, and effectuate a reverse split if the board deems it advisable; and the COD Amendment satisfies all applicable stockholder voting requirements, we are not asking for a proxy. Please do not send us one.
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 21, 2013 (the “Record Date”) shall be given a copy of this Information Statement. The date on which this Information Statement will be sent to stockholders will be on or about November 3, 2013.

The Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended, and any reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q filed by ProText during the past year with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) may be viewed on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov in the Edgar Archives.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE ACTION
Q. WHY HAS THE PROPOSAL BEEN MADE TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK?
A. Our board of directors believes that the authorized shares of common stock remaining available for issuance may not be sufficient to fulfill all of ProText’s obligations to holders of securities convertible into shares of common stock of ProText. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that it is in ProText’s best interests to authorize the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock as proposed. The increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is recommended by ProText’s board of directors in order to provide a sufficient reserve of such shares to fulfill such obligations and for the future growth and needs of ProText. It is the expectation of the board of directors that the Stock Split would increase the market price of the resulting common stock and thus maintain a higher level of market interest in the shares, provide additional flexibility to management with regard to the issuance of shares and maintaining the proper market capitalization of ProText. The board believes that the Stock Split will enhance ProText’s flexibility with regard to the ability to issue common stock for fulfillment of its current obligations as well as for proper corporate purposes that may be identified from time to time, such as financing, acquisitions, compensation of employees, the establishment of strategic business relationships with other companies or the expansion of ProText’s business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products. The Board believes the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock will provide it more flexibility in managing the business of ProText.
Q. HAS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATIONAND AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK?
A. The Board of Directors has approved the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock, as it believes it is in the best interests of ProText and the best interests of the current stockholders of ProText.

Q. WHAT VOTE OF THE STOCKHOLDERS WILL RESULT IN THE PROPOSALS BEING PASSED?
A. To approve the proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of the common stock and other shares holding voting rights is required for the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation. To approve the proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Cerificate of Designations of the the Series B Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of the common stock and other shares holding voting rights as well as the affirmative vote of holders of two thirds of the the Series B Preferred Stock is required. A consent in favor of the proposal has already been received from six stockholders holding in the aggregate of approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders of ProText as of the Record Date including the holder of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the proposals.
Q. WILL I RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL SHARES OR A DIFFERENT CLASS OF SHARES AS A RESULT OF THESE PROPOSALS?
A. As a current stockholder of ProText your class of stock and the number of shares that you hold will be affected as a result of the adoption of the proposal to authorize the Stock Split. For example, a current holder of 5,000 shares of common stock will remain a holder of 1 share of common stock in the event that the board effectuates a 5,000 for 1 Stock Split, a holder of 100,000 shares of common stock would become the holder of 20 shares of common stock. The Stock Split will not will result in different classes or additional shares being sent to existing stockholders.
Q. WILL THE CHANGES TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION RESULT IN ANY TAX LIABILITY TO ME?
A. The proposed changes are intended to be tax free for federal income tax purposes. The proposed Stock Split is intended to be tax free for federal income tax purposes.
Q. WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT?
A. ProText will pay for the delivery of this Information Statement.
Q. WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
A: Steven Berman, Chief Executive Officer of ProText Mobility, Inc., telephone: (800) 215-4212.
VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
The board of directors of ProText has adopted, ratified and approved the proposal to authorize the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock, and stockholders of the Company holding approximately 56% of the voting power on the Record Date have approved the amendmentto the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock.
PROPOSAL 1
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Purpose: ProText’s board of directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 950,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares. ProText’s Certificate of Incorporation, as currently in effect, authorizes ProText to issue up to 950,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The board of directors has proposed an increase in the number of authorized shares of the common stock of ProText and stockholders holding in the aggregate approximately 56% of the outstanding voting power have approved the filing of the Amendment. Upon the filing of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, ProText will be authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock, will remain the same.
The board of directors believes that authorizing this increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is in the best interest of ProText and its stockholders in that it could be obligated to issue common stock upon conversion of certain existing outstanding convertible debt and preferred stock in excess of the amount authorized and it will provide ProText with available shares that could be issued for various corporate purposes which may be identified in the future, including acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits, stock options, convertible debt and equity financings. ProText had no shares of common stock available for issuance after taking into account all shares reserved of convertible securities which ProText believes may not be sufficient to satisfy all of its outstanding debt obligations the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of the Common Stock and other shares holding voting rights as well as the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
4
On October 8, 2013, ProText had debt in an outstanding principal balance of $1,470,201 convertible into shares of common stock based upon the closing price of our stock on the conversion date. In addition, ProText’s Series A preferred shares convert into shares of common stock at a rate of 10 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock and its Series B preferred shares convert into shares of common stock at a rate of 100 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock. Since the debt does not convert at a fixed conversion price it is difficult to accurately quantify the number of shares that ProText will be required to issue upon such conversions. Using the October 8, 2013 numbers, if all of ProText’s outstanding debt, warrants and preferred stock were to convert to common stock, ProText would be required to issue approximately an additional 510,796,320 shares, which would exceed the number of shares currently available for issuance (even when including the existing “reserves” for certain convertible notes). If the stock price were to drop to $0.0001 per share, ProText would be required to issue approximately an additional 6,481,625,031 shares of its common stock to cover all of its current obligations. The board of directors believes that it is in ProText's and ProText's stockholders' best interests to authorize it to increase the availability of additional authorized but unissued capital stock to enable ProText to promptly take advantage of market conditions and the availability of favorable opportunities without delay and expense associated with holding a special meeting of stockholders and to enable it to meet any obligations it may have to issue shares of common stock.
The board of directors has no immediate plans, understandings, agreements or commitments to issue any of the additional but unissued shares of stock for any purpose other than the issuance of shares upon conversion of existing debt and other outstanding convertible securities in accordance with their respective terms, if the security holders should request conversion. Although ProText has no other current financing plans or understandings, agreements or commitments for financing, if an opportunity should present itself, ProText may issue shares of common stock in connection with such a financing. The increased capital will provide the board of directors with the ability to issue additional shares of stock without further vote of the stockholders of ProText, except as provided under Delaware corporate law or under the rules of any national securities exchange on which shares of stock of ProText are then listed. Under ProText’s Certificate of Incorporation, the ProText stockholders (other than the holders of Series B Preferred Stock who have a contractual preemptive right) do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities which may be issued by ProText, which means that current common stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issuance of capital stock of ProText in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of ProText's stock.
Effect: Issuance of any additional shares of common stock would both dilute the equity interest and the earnings per share of existing holders of the Company’s common stock. Such dilution may be substantial depending upon the amount of shares issued. The newly authorized shares will have voting and other rights identical to those of the currently issued common stock. However, the increase could have a dilutive effect on the voting power of existing stockholders.
The authorization of additional common stock, under certain circumstances, may have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the intent of the board of directors. For example, it may be possible for the board of directors to delay or impede a takeover or transfer of control of ProText by causing such additional authorized shares to be issued to holders who might side with the board of directors in opposing a takeover bid that the board of directors determines is not in the best interests of ProText and our stockholders. The increased authorized capital therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging the initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the increased capital may limit the opportunity for ProText stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal. The increased authorized capital may have the effect of permitting ProText’s current management, including the current board of directors, to retain its position, and place it in a better position to resist changes that stockholders may wish to make if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of ProText’s business. However, the board of directors is not aware of any attempt to take control of ProText and the board of directors did not propose the increase in ProText's authorized capital with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.
The relative voting and other rights of holders of the common stock will not be altered by the authorization of additional shares of common stock. Each share of common stock will continue to entitle its owner to one vote. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock shall continue to be entitled to two votes per share of common stock into which such stock could be converted and the number of votes that the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast with respect to amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock shall also be unaffected by the Amendment and shall remain at 51%. The Series C Preferred Stock shall continue to be entitled to one hundred votes per share.
As a result of the increased authorization, the potential number of shares of common stock outstanding will be increased.

PROPOSAL 2
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO REDUCE THE PAR VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK FROM $.0001 TO $.00001 PER SHARE.
Purpose: ProText’s board has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Board, in its discretion, to effectuate a reduction in the par value of the common shares from $.0001 to $.00001 per share. The board had determined that it would be in the Company’s best interest in the near future to reduce the par value of its common stock and has received the consent of holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s securities to authorize the board to file an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company to effectuate such a reduction in the par value.
The board believes that the reduction in par value is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders because it will protect the value of the common stock by helping to deter the its trading of the stock at below its par value. The decrease in par value will also aid in reducing the Delaware franchise taxes that are paid by ProText, the calculation of which is based in part upon the par value.
Effects: Following effectiveness of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation, the stated capital on the balance sheet and additional paid in capital attributable to the common stock will be adjusted to reflect the reduced par value.
PROPOSAL 3
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO CONDUCT UP TO A 5,000 FOR ONE SHARE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF PROTEXT’S COMMON STOCK.
Purpose: ProText’s board has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the board, in its discretion to effectuate a reverse stock split within the next 12 months. The Stock Spilt would reduce the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. The board had determined that it would be in the Company’s best interest in the near future to conduct a reverse split of its common stock up to a 5,000 for 1 basis and has received the consent of holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s securities to authorize the board to conduct such a reverse split in the Board’s discretion within the next 12 months.
The primary purposes of the Stock Split are to accomplish the following:
a) increase the per share price of the common stock to help maintain the interest of the markets;
b) reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock to a level more consistent with other public companies with a similar anticipated market capitalization; and
c) provide the management of the Company with additional flexibility to issue shares to facilitate future stock acquisitions and financing for the Company.
For the above reasons, the board believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Stock Split will have the desired benefits.
The board believes that a reverse split would provide for the combination of the presently issued and outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of identical common stock. The Stock Split would affect all common stockholders uniformly. This process, that is known as a reverse split, would take up to 5,000 shares of the presently issued and outstanding common stock on the effective date of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would carry out the reverse split and convert those shares into one share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. The conversion rate of all securities convertible into common stock would be proportionately adjusted.
The board has indicated that fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, ProText will issue one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. Each stockholder will hold the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the Stock Split as that stockholder did immediately prior to the Stock Split, except for minor adjustment as a result of the additional shares that will need to be issued a result of the treatment of fractional shares.
6
For the above reasons, the board believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of ProText and its stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the reverse stock split will have the desired benefits.
Effects: The Stock Split will be effected by filing an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State’s office and will become effective upon such filing and final approval of the board of directors of the Company. The actual timing of any such filing will be made by the board of directors based upon its evaluation as to when the filing will be most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders.
ProText is currently authorized to issue 950,000,000 shares of its common stock of which 805,092,092 shares are currently issued and outstanding and 6,479,023 shares of preferred stock outstanding, of which 1,526,718 shares are designated Series A Preferred Stock and 28,968 are issued and outstanding, 1,000,000 shares are designated Series B Preferred Stock and 550,055 are issued and outstanding and 3,650,000 shares are designated Series C Preferred Stock, of which 3,650,000 are issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to two votes per share for each share of common stock into which the preferred stock could be converted and each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to 100 votes. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock has the right to vote 51% of the voting power of the stockholders of ProText with respect to any proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized number of shares of common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is non-convertible. Stockholders holding 550,055 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 3,650,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 223,200,089 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 56% of the voting rights entitled to vote on the Amendment, as of the Record Date, have consented to the action required to authorize the Amendment.
The effect of the Stock Split upon existing stockholders of the common stock will be that the total number of shares of ProText’s common stock held by each stockholder will automatically convert into the number of whole shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock owned immediately prior to the Stock Split divided by up to 5,000, with an adjustment for any fractional shares. (Fractional shares will be rounded up into a whole share).
If acted upon by the Company’s board of directors, the consent by the majority of the common stock stockholders reported herein, would result in each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of common stock will be substantially unaffected by the Stock Split. All issued and outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities would be appropriately adjusted for the Stock Split automatically on the effective date of the Stock Split. All shares, options, warrants or convertible securities that the Company has agreed to issue (or agrees to issue prior to the effective date of the Stock Split) also will be appropriately adjusted for the Stock Split.
The Stock Split may also result in some stockholders holding “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots may be higher, particularly on a per-share basis, than the cost of transactions in even multiples of 100 shares.
As a result of the proposal to conduct a Stock Split, ProText will have more authorized shares available for issuance than it currently has available and therefore, there is a significant risk of stockholder value represented by the common stock being diluted. The proposed Stock Split creates a risk that current stockholders of the common stock will see the value of those shares diluted through the issuance of additional authorized but currently unissued shares. The current net tangible book value per share would be diluted if additional shares are issued without an increase taking place in the net book value of the assets of ProText. The current book value of shares held by existing stockholders would not be maintained in the event additional shares are issued. In the event that the board approves a 5,000 for 1 reverse split of the common stock and reduces the number of outstanding shares of common stock to approximately 161,018 and then authorizes the issuance of all 10,000,000,000 authorized shares, that action would have a material dilutive effect upon existing stockholders.
After the taking of any action to conduct or authorize the Stock Split, there is no requirement that stockholders must obtain new or replacement share certificates. Each of the holders of record of shares of the Company’s common stock that is outstanding on the effective date of the Stock Split may contact ProText’s transfer agent to exchange the certificates for new certificates representing the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split common stock into which the existing shares have been converted as a result of the Stock Split.
EXISTING CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO PROTEXT OR THE TRANSFER AGENT BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE FILING OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION .
Until the stockholder forwards a completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing such stockholder’s shares of pre-reverse stock split common stock to the transfer agent and receives in return a new certificate representing shares of post-reverse stock split common stock, such stockholder’s pre-reverse stock split common stock shall be deemed equal to the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split common shares to which such stockholder is entitled as a result of the Stock Split.

PROPOSAL 4
AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.
Article 7 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock requires the approval of the holders of two–thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a single class to take the following actions: (i) to increase or decrease the authorized size of the board or any committee thereof or create any new committee of the board; (ii) to propose to amend or waive any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (iii) except for certain specified issuance, to sell or issue any equity or debt security or warrant, option or other right to purchase any equity or debt security or declare or pay a dividend or distribution or redeem or make or engage in a transaction that results in any acquisition, sale of a substantial portion of equity or assets, merger, consolidation, plan of arrangement, re-domiciling, joint venture or partnership arrangement or form any new subsidiary or pass any resolution relating to reduction of share capital, dissolution or liquidation; or (iv) other than in the ordinary course of business, to engage or enter into any transaction or agreement with any of our affiliates, shareholders, directors or officers, relatives of shareholders, directors or officers of affiliates of such relatives or other related parties, unless such transaction or agreement has been approved by our board of directors. The foregoing protective provisions have made it more difficult for us engage in certain transactions including fundraising activities. All of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have consented to and voted in favor of an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock to remove these restrictions and eliminate clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 7 thereof. In consideration for its consent to such amendment, Rock Island, the holder of 75% of the Series B Preferred Stock was issued an additional 38,504 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion describes certain material federal income tax considerations relating to the proposed increase in authorized shares. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, legislative history, judicial decisions, and current administrative rulings and practices, all as amended and in effect on the date hereof. Any of these authorities could be repealed, overruled, or modified at any time. Any such change could be retroactive and, accordingly, could cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described herein. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the matters discussed herein has been requested, and there is no assurance that the IRS would agree with the conclusions set forth in this discussion.
This discussion may not address federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders in light of their personal circumstances or to stockholders who may be subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCE OF THE INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES AND RESTATEMENT OF PAR VALUE FOR THEM, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS AND ANY PENDING OR PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
The increase in the number of authorized shares will not affect any existing stockholder’s number of shares as they currently exist, the reduction in the stated par value of each share may result in a decrease in the valuation assigned to such shares compared to their current valuation.
The Stock Split is intended to be a tax-free recapitalization to the Company and its stockholders, except for those stockholders who receive a whole share of common stock in lieu of a fractional share. Stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Stock Split, except for those stockholders receiving a whole share of common stock in lieu of fractional shares (as described below). The holding period for shares of common stock after the Stock Split will include the holding period of shares of common stock before the Stock Split, provided, that such shares of common stock are held as a capital asset at the effective date of the Amendment. The adjusted basis of the shares of common stock after the Stock Split will be the same as the adjusted basis of the shares of common stock before the Stock Split excluding the basis of fractional shares.
A stockholder who receives a whole share of common stock in lieu of a fractional share generally may recognize gain in an amount not to exceed the excess of the fair market value of such whole share over the fair market value of the fractional shares to which the stockholder was otherwise entitled.

DISSENTER'S RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
The Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide for dissenter's rights in connection with the proposed restatement of the Certificate of Incorporation.
VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
The board of directors fixed the close of business on October 21, 2013 as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of the action by written consent.
As of October 21, 2013, ProText had issued and outstanding 805,092,092 shares of common stock and 6,479,023 shares of preferred stock outstanding, of which 1,526,718 shares are designated Series A Preferred Stock and 28,968 are issued and outstanding; 1,000,000 shares are designated Series B Preferred Stock and 550,055 are issued and outstanding and 3,650,000 shares are designated Series C Preferred Stock, of which 3,650,000 are issued and outstanding.

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT
To the Stockholders of ProText Mobility, Inc.:
This Information Statement is furnished to the stockholders of ProText Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ProText” or the “Company”), in connection with our prior receipt of approval by written consent in lieu of a special meeting, of: (i) an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 950,000,000 to 10,000,000,000 shares (the “Increase”); (ii) a decrease in the par value of the Company’s common stock to $.00001 par value (the “Par Value Change”); (iii) a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of up to 5,000 for 1 (the “Stock Split”); and (iv) an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock to eliminate the protective provisions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 7 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “COD Amendment”). The approval of each of the Increase, Par Value Change and Stock Split was obtained on October 21, 2013 from six stockholders of the Company that are holders of approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect to each of the proposals, which stockholders own 550,055 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, 3,650,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 223,200,089 shares of the Company’s common stock. The approval of the COD Amendment was obtained on October 21, 2013 from six stockholders of the Company that are holders of approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect to such amendment, which stockholders own all 550,055 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, 3,650,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 223,200,089 shares of the Company’s common stock. The holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to cast two votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock on an as converted basis. Each holder of a share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to 100 votes per share. The Increase, Par Value Change and Stock Split cannot be effectuated until twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement and after the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State and the COD Amendment cannot be effectuated until twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement and after the filing of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State .
PROTEXT IS NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED TO NOT SEND A PROXY. Because the written consent of the holders of a majority of our voting power with respect to the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized number of shares of common stock, decrease our par value, and effectuate a reverse split if the board deems it advisable; and the COD Amendment satisfies all applicable stockholder voting requirements, we are not asking for a proxy. Please do not send us one.
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 21, 2013 (the “Record Date”) shall be given a copy of this Information Statement. The date on which this Information Statement will be sent to stockholders will be on or about November 3, 2013.

The board of directors has unanimously approved the amendment(s) of our Certificate of Incorporation and (b) an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock, and stockholders owning in the aggregate approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders of ProText as of the Record Date, have adopted, ratified and approved the amendment(s) of our Certificate of Incorporation and stockholders owning in the aggregate approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders of ProText as of the Record Date and the holders of all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred have approved the Amended Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock.

The Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended, and any reports on Form 8-K and Form 10-Q filed by ProText during the past year with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) may be viewed on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov in the Edgar Archives.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE ACTION
Q. WHY HAS THE PROPOSAL BEEN MADE TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK?
A. Our board of directors believes that the authorized shares of common stock remaining available for issuance may not be sufficient to fulfill all of ProText’s obligations to holders of securities convertible into shares of common stock of ProText. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that it is in ProText’s best interests to authorize the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock as proposed. The increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is recommended by ProText’s board of directors in order to provide a sufficient reserve of such shares to fulfill such obligations and for the future growth and needs of ProText. It is the expectation of the board of directors that the Stock Split would increase the market price of the resulting common stock and thus maintain a higher level of market interest in the shares, provide additional flexibility to management with regard to the issuance of shares and maintaining the proper market capitalization of ProText. The board believes that the Stock Split will enhance ProText’s flexibility with regard to the ability to issue common stock for fulfillment of its current obligations as well as for proper corporate purposes that may be identified from time to time, such as financing, acquisitions, compensation of employees, the establishment of strategic business relationships with other companies or the expansion of ProText’s business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products. The Board believes the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock will provide it more flexibility in managing the business of ProText.
Q. HAS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATIONAND AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK?
A. The Board of Directors has approved the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock, as it believes it is in the best interests of ProText and the best interests of the current stockholders of ProText.
3
Q. WHAT VOTE OF THE STOCKHOLDERS WILL RESULT IN THE PROPOSALS BEING PASSED?
A. To approve the proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of the common stock and other shares holding voting rights is required for the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation. To approve the proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Cerificate of Designations of the the Series B Preferred Stock, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of the common stock and other shares holding voting rights as well as the affirmative vote of holders of two thirds of the the Series B Preferred Stock is required. A consent in favor of the proposal has already been received from six stockholders holding in the aggregate of approximately 56% of the voting rights of the stockholders of ProText as of the Record Date including the holder of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the proposals.
Q. WILL I RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL SHARES OR A DIFFERENT CLASS OF SHARES AS A RESULT OF THESE PROPOSALS?
A. As a current stockholder of ProText your class of stock and the number of shares that you hold will be affected as a result of the adoption of the proposal to authorize the Stock Split. For example, a current holder of 5,000 shares of common stock will remain a holder of 1 share of common stock in the event that the board effectuates a 5,000 for 1 Stock Split, a holder of 100,000 shares of common stock would become the holder of 20 shares of common stock. The Stock Split will not will result in different classes or additional shares being sent to existing stockholders.
Q. WILL THE CHANGES TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION RESULT IN ANY TAX LIABILITY TO ME?
A. The proposed changes are intended to be tax free for federal income tax purposes. The proposed Stock Split is intended to be tax free for federal income tax purposes.
Q. WHO IS PAYING FOR THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT?
A. ProText will pay for the delivery of this Information Statement.
Q. WHOM SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
A: Steven Berman, Chief Executive Officer of ProText Mobility, Inc., telephone: (800) 215-4212.
VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
The board of directors of ProText has adopted, ratified and approved the proposal to authorize the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock, and stockholders of the Company holding approximately 56% of the voting power on the Record Date have approved the amendmentto the Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock.
PROPOSAL 1
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Purpose: ProText’s board of directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 950,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares. ProText’s Certificate of Incorporation, as currently in effect, authorizes ProText to issue up to 950,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The board of directors has proposed an increase in the number of authorized shares of the common stock of ProText and stockholders holding in the aggregate approximately 56% of the outstanding voting power have approved the filing of the Amendment. Upon the filing of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, ProText will be authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock, will remain the same.
The board of directors believes that authorizing this increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is in the best interest of ProText and its stockholders in that it could be obligated to issue common stock upon conversion of certain existing outstanding convertible debt and preferred stock in excess of the amount authorized and it will provide ProText with available shares that could be issued for various corporate purposes which may be identified in the future, including acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits, stock options, convertible debt and equity financings. ProText had no shares of common stock available for issuance after taking into account all shares reserved of convertible securities which ProText believes may not be sufficient to satisfy all of its outstanding debt obligations the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of the Common Stock and other shares holding voting rights as well as the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
4
On October 8, 2013, ProText had debt in an outstanding principal balance of $1,470,201 convertible into shares of common stock based upon the closing price of our stock on the conversion date. In addition, ProText’s Series A preferred shares convert into shares of common stock at a rate of 10 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock and its Series B preferred shares convert into shares of common stock at a rate of 100 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock. Since the debt does not convert at a fixed conversion price it is difficult to accurately quantify the number of shares that ProText will be required to issue upon such conversions. Using the October 8, 2013 numbers, if all of ProText’s outstanding debt, warrants and preferred stock were to convert to common stock, ProText would be required to issue approximately an additional 510,796,320 shares, which would exceed the number of shares currently available for issuance (even when including the existing “reserves” for certain convertible notes). If the stock price were to drop to $0.0001 per share, ProText would be required to issue approximately an additional 6,481,625,031 shares of its common stock to cover all of its current obligations. The board of directors believes that it is in ProText's and ProText's stockholders' best interests to authorize it to increase the availability of additional authorized but unissued capital stock to enable ProText to promptly take advantage of market conditions and the availability of favorable opportunities without delay and expense associated with holding a special meeting of stockholders and to enable it to meet any obligations it may have to issue shares of common stock.
The board of directors has no immediate plans, understandings, agreements or commitments to issue any of the additional but unissued shares of stock for any purpose other than the issuance of shares upon conversion of existing debt and other outstanding convertible securities in accordance with their respective terms, if the security holders should request conversion. Although ProText has no other current financing plans or understandings, agreements or commitments for financing, if an opportunity should present itself, ProText may issue shares of common stock in connection with such a financing. The increased capital will provide the board of directors with the ability to issue additional shares of stock without further vote of the stockholders of ProText, except as provided under Delaware corporate law or under the rules of any national securities exchange on which shares of stock of ProText are then listed. Under ProText’s Certificate of Incorporation, the ProText stockholders (other than the holders of Series B Preferred Stock who have a contractual preemptive right) do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities which may be issued by ProText, which means that current common stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issuance of capital stock of ProText in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of ProText's stock.
Effect: Issuance of any additional shares of common stock would both dilute the equity interest and the earnings per share of existing holders of the Company’s common stock. Such dilution may be substantial depending upon the amount of shares issued. The newly authorized shares will have voting and other rights identical to those of the currently issued common stock. However, the increase could have a dilutive effect on the voting power of existing stockholders.
The authorization of additional common stock, under certain circumstances, may have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the intent of the board of directors. For example, it may be possible for the board of directors to delay or impede a takeover or transfer of control of ProText by causing such additional authorized shares to be issued to holders who might side with the board of directors in opposing a takeover bid that the board of directors determines is not in the best interests of ProText and our stockholders. The increased authorized capital therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging the initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the increased capital may limit the opportunity for ProText stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal. The increased authorized capital may have the effect of permitting ProText’s current management, including the current board of directors, to retain its position, and place it in a better position to resist changes that stockholders may wish to make if they are dissatisfied with the conduct of ProText’s business. However, the board of directors is not aware of any attempt to take control of ProText and the board of directors did not propose the increase in ProText's authorized capital with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.
The relative voting and other rights of holders of the common stock will not be altered by the authorization of additional shares of common stock. Each share of common stock will continue to entitle its owner to one vote. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock shall continue to be entitled to two votes per share of common stock into which such stock could be converted and the number of votes that the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast with respect to amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock shall also be unaffected by the Amendment and shall remain at 51%. The Series C Preferred Stock shall continue to be entitled to one hundred votes per share.
As a result of the increased authorization, the potential number of shares of common stock outstanding will be increased.

PROPOSAL 2
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO REDUCE THE PAR VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK FROM $.0001 TO $.00001 PER SHARE.
Purpose: ProText’s board has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Board, in its discretion, to effectuate a reduction in the par value of the common shares from $.0001 to $.00001 per share. The board had determined that it would be in the Company’s best interest in the near future to reduce the par value of its common stock and has received the consent of holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s securities to authorize the board to file an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company to effectuate such a reduction in the par value.
The board believes that the reduction in par value is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders because it will protect the value of the common stock by helping to deter the its trading of the stock at below its par value. The decrease in par value will also aid in reducing the Delaware franchise taxes that are paid by ProText, the calculation of which is based in part upon the par value.
Effects: Following effectiveness of the amendment to the certificate of incorporation, the stated capital on the balance sheet and additional paid in capital attributable to the common stock will be adjusted to reflect the reduced par value.
PROPOSAL 3
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO CONDUCT UP TO A 5,000 FOR ONE SHARE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF PROTEXT’S COMMON STOCK.
Purpose: ProText’s board has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the board, in its discretion to effectuate a reverse stock split within the next 12 months. The Stock Spilt would reduce the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. The board had determined that it would be in the Company’s best interest in the near future to conduct a reverse split of its common stock up to a 5,000 for 1 basis and has received the consent of holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s securities to authorize the board to conduct such a reverse split in the Board’s discretion within the next 12 months.
The primary purposes of the Stock Split are to accomplish the following:
a) increase the per share price of the common stock to help maintain the interest of the markets;
b) reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock to a level more consistent with other public companies with a similar anticipated market capitalization; and
c) provide the management of the Company with additional flexibility to issue shares to facilitate future stock acquisitions and financing for the Company.
For the above reasons, the board believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Stock Split will have the desired benefits.
The board believes that a reverse split would provide for the combination of the presently issued and outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of identical common stock. The Stock Split would affect all common stockholders uniformly. This process, that is known as a reverse split, would take up to 5,000 shares of the presently issued and outstanding common stock on the effective date of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would carry out the reverse split and convert those shares into one share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. The conversion rate of all securities convertible into common stock would be proportionately adjusted.
The board has indicated that fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, ProText will issue one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. Each stockholder will hold the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the Stock Split as that stockholder did immediately prior to the Stock Split, except for minor adjustment as a result of the additional shares that will need to be issued a result of the treatment of fractional shares.
6
For the above reasons, the board believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of ProText and its stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the reverse stock split will have the desired benefits.
Effects: The Stock Split will be effected by filing an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State’s office and will become effective upon such filing and final approval of the board of directors of the Company. The actual timing of any such filing will be made by the board of directors based upon its evaluation as to when the filing will be most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders.
ProText is currently authorized to issue 950,000,000 shares of its common stock of which 805,092,092 shares are currently issued and outstanding and 6,479,023 shares of preferred stock outstanding, of which 1,526,718 shares are designated Series A Preferred Stock and 28,968 are issued and outstanding, 1,000,000 shares are designated Series B Preferred Stock and 550,055 are issued and outstanding and 3,650,000 shares are designated Series C Preferred Stock, of which 3,650,000 are issued and outstanding. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting, each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to two votes per share for each share of common stock into which the preferred stock could be converted and each share of Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to 100 votes. In addition, the Series B Preferred Stock has the right to vote 51% of the voting power of the stockholders of ProText with respect to any proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized number of shares of common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock is non-convertible. Stockholders holding 550,055 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, 3,650,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 223,200,089 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 56% of the voting rights entitled to vote on the Amendment, as of the Record Date, have consented to the action required to authorize the Amendment.
The effect of the Stock Split upon existing stockholders of the common stock will be that the total number of shares of ProText’s common stock held by each stockholder will automatically convert into the number of whole shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock owned immediately prior to the Stock Split divided by up to 5,000, with an adjustment for any fractional shares. (Fractional shares will be rounded up into a whole share).
If acted upon by the Company’s board of directors, the consent by the majority of the common stock stockholders reported herein, would result in each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of common stock will be substantially unaffected by the Stock Split. All issued and outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities would be appropriately adjusted for the Stock Split automatically on the effective date of the Stock Split. All shares, options, warrants or convertible securities that the Company has agreed to issue (or agrees to issue prior to the effective date of the Stock Split) also will be appropriately adjusted for the Stock Split.
The Stock Split may also result in some stockholders holding “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots may be higher, particularly on a per-share basis, than the cost of transactions in even multiples of 100 shares.
As a result of the proposal to conduct a Stock Split, ProText will have more authorized shares available for issuance than it currently has available and therefore, there is a significant risk of stockholder value represented by the common stock being diluted. The proposed Stock Split creates a risk that current stockholders of the common stock will see the value of those shares diluted through the issuance of additional authorized but currently unissued shares. The current net tangible book value per share would be diluted if additional shares are issued without an increase taking place in the net book value of the assets of ProText. The current book value of shares held by existing stockholders would not be maintained in the event additional shares are issued. In the event that the board approves a 5,000 for 1 reverse split of the common stock and reduces the number of outstanding shares of common stock to approximately 161,018 and then authorizes the issuance of all 10,000,000,000 authorized shares, that action would have a material dilutive effect upon existing stockholders.
After the taking of any action to conduct or authorize the Stock Split, there is no requirement that stockholders must obtain new or replacement share certificates. Each of the holders of record of shares of the Company’s common stock that is outstanding on the effective date of the Stock Split may contact ProText’s transfer agent to exchange the certificates for new certificates representing the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split common stock into which the existing shares have been converted as a result of the Stock Split.
EXISTING CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO PROTEXT OR THE TRANSFER AGENT BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE FILING OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION .
Until the stockholder forwards a completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing such stockholder’s shares of pre-reverse stock split common stock to the transfer agent and receives in return a new certificate representing shares of post-reverse stock split common stock, such stockholder’s pre-reverse stock split common stock shall be deemed equal to the number of whole shares of post-reverse stock split common shares to which such stockholder is entitled as a result of the Stock Split.

PROPOSAL 4
AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.
Article 7 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock requires the approval of the holders of two–thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a single class to take the following actions: (i) to increase or decrease the authorized size of the board or any committee thereof or create any new committee of the board; (ii) to propose to amend or waive any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (iii) except for certain specified issuance, to sell or issue any equity or debt security or warrant, option or other right to purchase any equity or debt security or declare or pay a dividend or distribution or redeem or make or engage in a transaction that results in any acquisition, sale of a substantial portion of equity or assets, merger, consolidation, plan of arrangement, re-domiciling, joint venture or partnership arrangement or form any new subsidiary or pass any resolution relating to reduction of share capital, dissolution or liquidation; or (iv) other than in the ordinary course of business, to engage or enter into any transaction or agreement with any of our affiliates, shareholders, directors or officers, relatives of shareholders, directors or officers of affiliates of such relatives or other related parties, unless such transaction or agreement has been approved by our board of directors. The foregoing protective provisions have made it more difficult for us engage in certain transactions including fundraising activities. All of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock have consented to and voted in favor of an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock to remove these restrictions and eliminate clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Section 7 thereof. In consideration for its consent to such amendment, Rock Island, the holder of 75% of the Series B Preferred Stock was issued an additional 38,504 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following discussion describes certain material federal income tax considerations relating to the proposed increase in authorized shares. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, legislative history, judicial decisions, and current administrative rulings and practices, all as amended and in effect on the date hereof. Any of these authorities could be repealed, overruled, or modified at any time. Any such change could be retroactive and, accordingly, could cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described herein. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the matters discussed herein has been requested, and there is no assurance that the IRS would agree with the conclusions set forth in this discussion.
This discussion may not address federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders in light of their personal circumstances or to stockholders who may be subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCE OF THE INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES AND RESTATEMENT OF PAR VALUE FOR THEM, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS AND ANY PENDING OR PROPOSED LEGISLATION.
The increase in the number of authorized shares will not affect any existing stockholder’s number of shares as they currently exist, the reduction in the stated par value of each share may result in a decrease in the valuation assigned to such shares compared to their current valuation.
The Stock Split is intended to be a tax-free recapitalization to the Company and its stockholders, except for those stockholders who receive a whole share of common stock in lieu of a fractional share. Stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Stock Split, except for those stockholders receiving a whole share of common stock in lieu of fractional shares (as described below). The holding period for shares of common stock after the Stock Split will include the holding period of shares of common stock before the Stock Split, provided, that such shares of common stock are held as a capital asset at the effective date of the Amendment. The adjusted basis of the shares of common stock after the Stock Split will be the same as the adjusted basis of the shares of common stock before the Stock Split excluding the basis of fractional shares.
A stockholder who receives a whole share of common stock in lieu of a fractional share generally may recognize gain in an amount not to exceed the excess of the fair market value of such whole share over the fair market value of the fractional shares to which the stockholder was otherwise entitled.
