ABOUT THE 2019 Annual Meeting

General: Date, Time and Place

We are providing this Proxy Statement to you in connection with the solicitation, on behalf of our Board, of proxies to be voted at our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”) or any postponement or adjournment of that meeting. The 2019 Annual Meeting will held on July 2, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. local time at our principal executive offices, located at 4/F, Tower C, Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building, Keji 3^rd Road, Yanta District, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, 710075 China.

Matters to be Considered and Voted Upon

At the 2019 Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and vote (i) to elect the nominees named herein as directors, (ii) to ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, and (iii) approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to (i) increase the total number of our authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares and (ii) authorize the issuance of up to 60,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. The Board does not know of any matters to be brought before the meeting other than as set forth in the notice of meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy or their substitutes will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

Record Date; Stock Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

Our Board has established May 7, 2019, as the record date. Only holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2019 Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to our stockholders for approval at the 2019 Annual Meeting. At the close of business on April 24, 2019, we had 16,106,498  shares of common stock outstanding. We expect approximately the same number of shares to be outstanding as of the record date.

Quorum; Required Vote

A quorum of stockholders is required for the transaction of business at the 2019 Annual Meeting. The presence of at least one-third of all of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting will be tabulated by an election inspector appointed for the meeting and will be taken into account in determining whether or not a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which occur when a broker has not received customer instructions and indicates that it does not have the discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter on the proxy card, will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Assuming that a quorum is present, our stockholders may take action at the annual meeting with the votes described below.

Election of Directors.  Under Nevada law and the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (“Bylaws”), the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of our shares of common stock is required to elect each director. Consequently, only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward such nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Stockholders do not have any rights to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted toward a nominee’s total.

Ratification of the selection of MJF and Associates, APC as our independent registered public accounting firm.  The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares actually voted on the proposal at the 2019 Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present, is required to ratify the selection of MJF and Associates, APC as our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “against” the ratification of the appointment of MJF and Associates, APC as our independent registered public accounting firm. Broker non-votes may be voted for or against this proposal by a broker.

Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares actually voted on the proposal at the 2019 Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present, is required to approve the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote “against” the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Under applicable regulations, if a broker holds shares on your behalf, and you do not instruct your broker how to vote those shares on a matter considered “routine,” the broker may generally vote your shares for you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions from you on a “non-routine” matter, in which case the broker does not have authority to vote your shares with respect to such matter. Unless you provide voting instructions to a broker holding shares on your behalf, your broker may not use discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the matters to be considered at the 2019 Annual Meeting other than the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.

Voting Procedure; Voting of Proxies; Revocation of Proxies

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting or vote by proxy using the accompanying proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the 2019 Annual Meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.

By Internet – stockholders may vote on the internet by logging on to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given.

By Telephone – stockholders may vote by calling 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free) with a touch tone telephone and following the recorded instructions.

By Mail – stockholders must request a paper copy of the proxy materials to receive a proxy card and follow the instructions given for mailing. A paper copy of the proxy materials may be obtained by logging onto www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given. To vote using the proxy card, simply print the proxy card, complete, sign and date it and return it promptly to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. In the alternative, the proxy card can be mailed directly to the Company: Ms. Adeline Gu, Chief Financial Officer, at 4/F, Tower C, Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building, Keji 3^rd Road, Yanta District, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, 710075 China.

If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card. Telephone and Internet voting are available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 P.M. China Time on July 1, 2019.

In Person - stockholders may vote in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting. To vote in person, come to the 2019 Annual Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, since it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Please note that the notice letter you received directing you to the website at which the proxy materials are available is not the proxy card and should not be used to submit your vote.

If you do not return a signed proxy card and do not attend the meeting and vote in person, your shares will not be voted. Shares of our common stock represented by properly executed proxies that are received by us and are not revoked will be voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and instructions are not given, such proxies will be voted FOR election of each nominee for director named herein, FOR ratification of the selection of MJF and Associates, APC as our independent registered public accounting firm, and FOR the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. In addition, we reserve the right to exercise discretionary authority to vote proxies, in the manner determined by us, in our sole discretion, on any matters brought before the 2019 Annual Meeting for which we did not receive adequate notice under the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of such shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote those shares at the meeting. If you wish to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting and vote in person, you will need to contact your broker, bank or nominee to obtain a legal proxy.

Your proxy is revocable at any time before it is voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting in any of the following three ways:

1. You may submit another properly completed proxy bearing a later date.

2. You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Ms. Adeline Gu, our Chief Financial Officer, at 4/F, Tower C, Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building, Keji 3^rd Road, Yanta District, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, 710075 China.

3. You may attend the annual meeting and vote in person. However, simply attending the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal

Stockholders are not entitled to any appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any of the proposals to be acted upon at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Proxy Solicitation

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Householding

SEC rules permit us to deliver a single proxy statement and annual report to one address shared by two or more of our stockholders. This delivery method is referred to as “householding” and can result in significant cost savings. To take advantage of this opportunity, we have delivered only one proxy statement and annual report to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless we received contrary instructions from the impacted stockholders prior to the mailing date. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of this Proxy Statement and annual report to any stockholder at the shared address to which a single copy of those documents were delivered. If you prefer to receive separate copies of the proxy statement and annual report, contact Ms. Adeline Gu, our Chief Financial Officer, at 4/F, Tower C, Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building, Keji 3^rd Road, Yanta District, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, 710075 China.

Stockholder List

For at least ten days prior to the meeting, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, will be open for examination by any stockholder, for any purpose related to the 2019 Annual Meeting, during ordinary business hours at our principal executive offices. The list will also be available for examination at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Other Business

The Board is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting other than those mentioned in this Proxy Statement and our accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If, however, any other matters properly come before the 2019 Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

Proposals of Stockholders for 2020 Annual Meeting

Stockholder proposals will be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if they are received by the Company, on or before December 30, 2019.

Proposals and notices of intention to present proposals at the 2020 Annual Meeting should be addressed to Ms. Adeline Gu, our Chief Financial Officer, at our principal executive offices, located at 4/F, Tower C, Rong Cheng Yun Gu Building, Keji 3^rd Road, Yanta District, Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, 710075 China.

Voting Results of 2019 Annual Meeting

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF DIRECTORS 

Nominees

Our Bylaws provide that the Board shall consist of not less than three (3) nor more than eleven (11) directors. Our Board has fixed the number of directors to be elected at the 2019 Annual Meeting at five (5). Vacancies on the Board may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy (including a vacancy created by an increase in the Board of Directors) will serve for the remainder of the one year term in which the vacancy occurred and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified.

Our Board currently consists of five (5) members. Our current directors will stand for re-election at the 2019 Annual Meeting. All of the nominees were previously elected by our stockholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting. 

If elected as a director at the 2019 Annual Meeting, each of the nominees would serve a one-year term expiring at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified. Biographical information regarding each of the nominees is set forth below. No family relationships exist among any of our director nominees or executive officers.

Each of the nominees has consented to serve as a director if elected. If any nominee should be unavailable to serve for any reason (which is not anticipated), the Board may designate a substitute nominee or nominees (in which event the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will vote the shares represented by all valid proxy cards for the election of such substitute nominee or nominees), allow the vacancies to remain open until a suitable candidate or candidates are located, or by resolution provide for a lesser number of directors.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF
EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Company’s current board leadership structure separates the board chair and principal executive officer roles into two positions. Mr. Ku has served as both Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company since April 1, 2009. Our Board continues to believe there are important advantages to Mr. Ku serving in both roles at this time. Mr. Ku is the director most familiar with our business and industry and is best situated to propose Board agendas and lead Board discussions on important matters. Mr. Ku provides a strong link between management and the Board, which promotes clear communication and enhances strategic planning and implementation of corporate strategies. Another advantage is the clarity of leadership provided by one person representing us to employees, stockholders and other stakeholders. The Board has not named a lead independent director.

Our Board is responsible for oversight of the Company’s risk management practices while management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management processes. In the Board’s opinion, this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company. The Board receives periodic reports from management regarding the most significant risks facing the Company. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of our risk assessment and risk management policies. Our Audit Committee is empowered to appoint and oversee our independent registered public accounting firm, monitor the integrity of our financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls and provide an avenue of communication among our independent auditors, management, our internal auditing department and our Board.

Diversity

The Board does not have a formal policy with respect to Board nominee diversity. In recommending proposed nominees to the full Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is charged with building and maintaining a board that has an ideal mix of talent and experience to achieve our business objectives in the current environment. In particular, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is focused on relevant subject matter expertise, depth of knowledge in key areas that are important to us, and diversity of thought, background, perspective and experience so as to facilitate robust debate and broad thinking on strategies and tactics pursued by us.

Director Independence

Xiaoping Guo, LuLu Sun and Xiaogang Zhu are our only non-employee directors, and our Board has determined that each of them is independent pursuant to the listing rules of NASDAQ. All of the members of each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent as defined in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). As required under applicable NASDAQ listing standards, in the 2017 fiscal year, our independent directors met twice in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only our independent directors were present.

Mr. Xiaogang Zhu, a nominee for director, is a former employee of the Company. Our Board has determined that, as of the date of the 2019 Annual Meeting, Mr. Zhu will be “independent” under the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as defined by NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).

Board Meetings and Committee Meeting; Annual Meeting Attendance

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Board held 2 meetings and acted through unanimous consent on 8 different occasions. In addition, the Audit Committee held 4 meetings; the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held 1 meeting; and the Compensation Committee held 1 meeting. During the year ended December 31, 2018, each of the directors attended, in person or by telephone, more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served. We encourage our Board members to attend our Annual Meetings, but we do not have a formal policy requiring attendance. Some of our then-sitting Board members attended the 2018 Annual Meeting.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee currently consists of Xiaoping Guo, Xiaogang Zhu and LuLu Sun. Ms. LuLu Sun is the chairman of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees all aspects of the Company’s corporate governance functions on behalf of the Board, including identifying individuals qualified to become directors, recommending to the Board the selection of director nominees for each meeting of the stockholders at which directors are elected and overseeing the monitoring and evaluation of the Company’s corporate governance practices. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviewed the performance of all of the current members of the Board and determined and recommended to the Board that all of the current directors should be nominated for re-election. No other candidates were recommended or evaluated. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee operates under a written charter, which is available on our website at www.creg-cn.com under the links “Investor Relations – Corporate Governance.”

 Selection of Board Nominees

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying, selecting and evaluating Board candidates. From a general perspective, candidates are reviewed in the context of the existing Board members, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. In selecting candidates for appointment or re-election to the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board considers the following criteria: (i) personal and professional ethics and integrity, including a reputation for integrity and honesty in the business community; (ii) experience as an executive officer of companies or as a senior leader of complex organizations, including scientific, government, financial or technological organizations; (iii) financial knowledge, including an understanding of finance, accounting, the financial reporting process, and company measures for operating and strategic performance; (iv) ability to critically and independently evaluate business issues, contributing diverse perspectives or viewpoints, and making practical and mature judgments; (v) a genuine interest in the Company, and the ability to spend the time required to make substantial contributions as a director; and (vi) no conflict of interest or legal impediment that would interfere with the duty of loyalty to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the qualifications of the directors to be appointed to serve as members of the Audit Committee to ensure that they meet the financial literacy and sophistication requirements under the NASDAQ rules and that at least one of them qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC.

Audit Committee

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation Table

The following table summarizes the compensation earned during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, by those individuals who served as our Chief Executive Officer, or Chief Financial Officer during any part of fiscal year 2018 and our other most highly compensated executive officer. The individuals listed in the table below are referred to as the “named executive officers.” 

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

In fiscal year 2018, the primary components of our executive compensation programs were base salary and equity compensation. We use base salary to fairly and competitively compensate our executives, including the named executive officers, for the jobs we ask them to perform. We view base salary as the most stable component of our executive compensation program, as this amount is not at risk. We believe that the base salaries of our executives should be targeted at or above the median of base salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, consistent with our compensation philosophy. Because of our emphasis on performance-based compensation for executives, base salary adjustments are generally made only when we believe there is a significant deviation from the market or an increase in responsibility. Our Compensation Committee reviews the base salary levels of our executives each year to determine whether an adjustment is warranted or necessary.

Employment Contracts

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

Employment Agreements

Certain of our executive officers, including our CEO, have an employment agreement with the Company. Under Chinese law, we may only terminate employment agreements without cause and without penalty by providing notice of non-renewal one month prior to the date on which the employment agreement is scheduled to expire. If we fail to provide this notice or if we wish to terminate an employment agreement in the absence of cause, as defined in the agreement, then we are obligated to pay the employee one month’s salary for each year we have employed the employee. We are, however, permitted to terminate an employee for cause without penalty pursuant to the employment agreement.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has not implemented a written policy concerning the review of related party transactions; however, the Company’s policy is that the Audit Committee must review related party transactions and Board must approve all related party transactions. Further, all material related party transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

A “related party transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which the Company (including any of our subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee has furnished the following report on its activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The report is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the SEC’s proxy rules or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and the report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into any such filing.

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its oversight and monitoring of our financial reporting and auditing process. The Audit Committee charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on our website at www.creg-cn.com under the links “Investor Relations – Corporate Governance.” For fiscal year 2018, the Audit Committee was comprised of Xiaogang Zhu (Chairman), Xiaoping Guo, and Lulu Sun, each of whom is independent under applicable SEC and NASDAQ listing standards.

Management has primary responsibility for our financial statements and the overall reporting process, including maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and discusses with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the Audit Committee. These discussions include a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee monitors our processes, relying, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

In 2018, the Audit Committee held 4 meetings. Representatives of MJF and Associates, APC, our independent registered public accounting firm, attended each meeting of the Audit Committee that involved the discussion of financial statements. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and MJF and Associates, APC, our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and discussed MJF and Associates, APC’s judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (which superseded Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61), other standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), rules of the SEC, and other applicable regulations.

The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from MJF and Associates, APC required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the firm’s independence from our management and has discussed with MJF and Associates, APC its independence. The members of Audit Committee considered whether the services provided by MJF and Associates, APC, for the year ended December 31, 2018, are compatible with maintaining their independence. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the authority to approve the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Based upon its review of the audited financial statements and the discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC.

MJF and Associates, APC has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since February 15, 2015 and is considered by our Audit Committee to be well qualified.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

Aggregate fees and expenses for professional services rendered for us by MJF and Associates, APC for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 are set forth below. The aggregate fees and expenses included in the Audit category are fees and expenses billed for the fiscal years for the integrated audit of our annual financial statements and review of our interim financial statements and statutory and regulatory filings. The aggregate fees and expenses included in each of the other categories are fees and expenses billed in the fiscal years.

Audit Fees for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and of our internal control over financial reporting and quarterly review of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Audit-Related Fees are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the independent accountant for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, which include audits in connection with acquisitions.

Tax Fees are fees billed by the independent accountant for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.

All Other Fees are fees billed by the independent accountant for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has determined that the provision of these services is compatible with the maintenance of the independence of MJF and Associates, APC.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. The pre-approval policy is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is subject to a specific budget. The services include the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for audit services, audit-related services, and tax services.

If we need to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for other services, which are not considered subject to the general pre-approval as described above, then the Audit Committee must approve such specific engagement as well as the projected fees. If the timing of the project requires an expedited decision, then the Audit Committee has delegated to the Chairman of the Committee the authority to pre-approve such engagement, subject to fee limitations. The Chairman must report all such pre-approvals to the entire Audit Committee for ratification at the next Audit Committee meeting.

PROPOSAL No. 3 – Approval of the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation

On April 22, 2019, the Board unanimously adopted a resolution setting forth a proposed amendment to Article Fourth of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which would, subject to stockholder approval, (i) increase the total number of our authorized shares of our Common Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares and (ii) authorize the issuance of up to 60,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Amendment”). The resolution also provided that the proposed Amendment be presented to the stockholders for approval at the 2019 Annual Meeting with the recommendation of the Board that the stockholders approve the proposed amendment in accordance with Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is attached hereto as Annex A.

If the proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of our authorized shares of our Common Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares and to authorize the issuance of up to 60,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, is approved by our stockholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting, a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada as soon as practicable after the 2019 Annual Meeting.

Currently, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. The holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our Board out of assets legally available. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock.

Potential uses of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock may include public or private offerings, conversions of convertible securities, issuance of stock or stock options to employees, acquisition transactions and other general corporate purposes. Increasing the authorized number of shares of the Common Stock will give us greater flexibility and will allow the Company to issue such shares, in most cases, without the expense or delay of seeking stockholder approval. The Company may issue shares of its Common Stock in connection with financing transactions and other corporate purposes which the Board of Directors believes will be in the best interest of the Company’s stockholder. The additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the right to cast one vote per share of Common Stock. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (other than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights, and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share, of existing stockholders.

The term “blank check” preferred stock refers to stock that gives the board of directors of a corporation the flexibility to create from time to time one or more series of preferred stock, and to determine the relative rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series, including, without limitation: (i) the number of shares in each series, (ii) whether a series will bear dividends and whether dividends will be cumulative, (iii) the dividend rate and the dates of dividend payments, (iv) liquidation preferences and prices, (v) terms of redemption, including timing, rates and prices, (vi) conversion rights, (vii) any sinking fund requirements, (viii) any restrictions on the issuance of additional shares of any class or series, (ix) any voting rights and (x) any other relative, participating, optional or other special rights, preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations or restrictions.

Other than the reservation of shares in accordance with the terms of that Exchange Agreement, dated April 14, 2019, by and between the Company and Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (the “Exchange Agreement”), and in connection with certain placement agent warrants described in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on April 15, 2019, at present the Board has no specific plans to issue the additional shares of Common Stock that would be available if this proposal is approved. The Board desires to have the shares available so the Company can meet its contractual obligations to maintain certain share reserves under the Exchange Agreement, to be able to issue shares upon the exercise of the placement agent warrants, which are not exercisable until the later of October 16, 2019 or on the date on which the Company amends its articles of incorporation as indicated herein, and to provide additional flexibility to use capital stock for business and financial purposes in the future. The additional shares may be used for various purposes without further stockholder approval. These purposes may include: raising capital; providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors; establishing strategic relationships with other companies; expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses; and other purposes.

The Board recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” THE APPROVAL of THE AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION to increase the total number of our authorized shares of our Common Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares and to authorize the issuance of up to 60,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Based solely on our review of the copies of these reports and on information provided by the reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were timely complied with during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, except for the following: Mr. Bohan Zhang did not file a Form 4 reporting the sale of 2,900 shares on August 20, 2018 and Mr. Genyun Wang did not file a Form 4 reporting the sale of 30,000 shares in August, 2018.
