Preventing a hostile takeover....


Found this explanation in the MINE 14c about increasing shares.

The authorization of additional capital, 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 Minerco 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 Minerco 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 Minerco 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 Minerco’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 Minerco’s business. However, the board of directors is not aware of any attempt to take control of Minerco and the board of directors did not propose the increase in Minerco's authorized capital with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.
