NOTICE REGARDING

ACTIONS TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF

THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER

IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This notice is being furnished to the stockholders of Jakroo Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terminology) in connection with the action to be taken by us as a result of a written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and a written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Company’s majority stockholder, each dated February 13, 2019, pursuant to Sections 78.315, 78.320 and 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”).

 

This notice is being furnished to all holders (the “Stockholders”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to notify such Stockholders that, on February 13, 2019, the Board and Kustellar LLC, a company controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board holding approximately 81.5% of our outstanding Common Stock as of such date (the “Voting Stockholder”), approved an amendment to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to, among other aspects, increase the number of shares of Common stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan (the “Corporate Action”) by written consent.

 

The ability to proceed without a special meeting of the Stockholders to approve, adopt and/or ratify the Corporate Action is authorized by Section 78.320 of the NRS, which provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action in lieu of conducting a special stockholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose of such action.

 

As of February 13, 2019, there were 31,777,110 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to notice of and to vote on all matters presented to stockholders. The required vote for approval of the Corporate Action was a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Voting Stockholder, as the holder of record of approximately 81.5% of the outstanding shares of our voting stock on such date, executed a written consent adopting and approving the Corporate Action. Because we have obtained sufficient Stockholder approval of the Corporate Action, no other consents or votes will be solicited in connection with this notice.

 

The Company does not have securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) and therefore is not subject to the filing requirements related to proxy statements under Section 14 of the Act.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

DESCRIPTIONS OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION

 

Description of the Corporate Action

 

On February 13, 2019, the Board and the Voting Stockholder approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan to 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and also updating certain provisions of the Plan to account for recent regulatory developments (such amendment to the Plan, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , the “Plan Amendment”).

 

General

 

The Plan provides for grants of stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Prior to the Plan Amendment, the maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for the grant of awards under the Plan was approximately 3.7 million, subject to adjustment as provided by the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board or by the full Board, which may determine, among other things, the (a) terms and conditions of any option or stock purchase right granted, including the exercise price and the vesting schedule, (b) persons who are to receive options and (c) the number of shares to be subject to each option. As of February 13, 2019, 243,138 shares were available for future grants under the Plan. Upon the approval of the Plan Amendment, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for grant of awards under the Plan will be 15,000,000, 11,464,500 of which are available for future issuance.

 

Reasons for the Plan Amendment

 

The purpose of our Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in our development and financial achievements. Our Board believes that the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan remaining available is insufficient to achieve the purpose of the Plan. Therefore, our Board believes the Plan Amendment is necessary to allow flexibility in granting awards to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in us, which interest may be measured by reference to the value of our Common Stock.

 

Effects of the Plan Amendment

 

As a result of the Plan Amendment, there will be an increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. This will provide the Board with the ability to grant more awards than are currently available under the Plan to eligible recipients including employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The issuance in the future of awards under the Plan consisting of full value awards and options to purchase shares of 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 holders of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock which may be issued as awards under the Plan may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights.

Vote Required

 

The approval of the Plan Amendment requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of Common Stock cast on such proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal. The Voting Stockholder, as the holder of record of approximately 81.5% of the outstanding shares of our voting stock as of February 13, 2019, approved and adopted the Plan Amendment.

 

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

 

Under the NRS, Stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Plan Amendment.
