Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

On March 14 2013, our stockholders acted by way of non-unanimous majority written consent action (pursuant to a solicitation of consents commenced on March 11, 2013, and in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders) to approve the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect the one-for-eight reverse split of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (with all fractional shares being rounded up to the next whole share) effective as of the close of business on April 1, 2013 with the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State’s office .

 

The number of shares giving written consent (i.e., voting) in favor of such matter was 135,135,836 ( 57 %); no shares were overtly “voted against” the proposal; and 101,075,935 shares ( 43 %) either did not participate in the non-unanimous majority written consent action or did not submit their vote by March 14 , 2013.

 

The Company is no longer soliciting votes pertaining to the items above.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 15, 2013, the our board of directors resolved that on or around March 29, 2013 the Company will file a Form 15 (Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to voluntarily terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

 
 

 

The Form 15 will become effective 90 days after filing if there are no objections from the SEC or such shorter period as the SEC may determine. The Company's SEC reporting obligations, including the obligations to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, will be immediately suspended upon the filing of the Form 15, unless the SEC denies the effectiveness of Form 15, in which case the Company is required to file all the reports within 60 days of such denial.

 

The Company expects that, as a result of the Form 15 filing, its common stock will be removed from trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Shares are anticipated being available for trading on the OTC Markets, although there can no assurances that any trading market for the Company's securities will exist after the Company has filed the Form 15, and the liquidity of such trading market may be very limited.

For Immediate Release

 

Colombia Energy Resources, Inc. Announces Filing of Form 15

 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. March 18, 2013 – Colombia Energy Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: CERX.OB; OTCQB: CERX), (the “Company” or “CERX”) announced today that the Company intends to voluntarily file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about March 29, 2013, to terminate the registration of its common stock and suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company is eligible to terminate its registration by filing a Form 15 because it has fewer than 300 common stock shareholders of record at the beginning of its fiscal year.

 

As a result of filing the Form 15, the Company will no longer be required to file reports under the Exchange Act, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, and current reports on Form 8-K. The Company expects that deregistration will become effective 90 days after the filing of the Form 15 with the SEC.

 

CERX's Board of Directors authorized the termination of registration of CERX's common stock after careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantage of being an SEC reporting company. The Board concluded that the consequences of remaining an SEC-reporting company, which includes significant costs associated with regulatory compliance, outweighed the current benefits of remaining registered with the SEC.

 

CERX's board of directors intends to consider possible future actions that would be in the best interests of CERX. The Company also intends to maintain its OTC Markets trading platform but anticipates the quotation of its stock on the OTC Bulletin Board will be dropped. The Company will focus its use of its limited financial and management resources on its assets and operations in Colombia and on potential strategic alliances or sale of such assets.
