This Information Statement is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished to the holders of common stock (the “Shareholders”) of Labor Smart, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or words of similar import), pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) to notify such Shareholders of a proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. The Company proposed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation that would increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 150,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 (the “Authorized Increase Amendment”).

 

The Board of Directors has fixed October 22, 2014, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining those of our shareholders entitled to receive this Information Statement.

 

The Authorized Increase Amendment was unanimously adopted and approved on October 22, 2014 by written consent of our Board of Directors, and recommended to Ryan Schadel, the holder of 15,079,800 shares of common stock of the Company and 51 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Majority Shareholder”) that he approve the Authorized Increase Amendment. As of October 22, 2014, the Majority Shareholder had 69.77% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company. On October 22, 2014, the Majority Shareholder approved the Authorized Increase Amendment by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with Nevada law. No other votes were required or necessary to adopt the Authorized Increase Amendment, and none is being solicited hereunder. See the captions “Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof” and “Vote Required for Approval,” herein.

Changes in Control

 

There are no present contractual arrangements or pledges of our securities that may result in a change in control of the Company.

 

VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL AND EFFECTIVE DATE

 

Nevada Law

 

Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, amendments to the Articles of Incorporation are required to be approved by a majority of our shareholders. This approval could be obtained either by the written consent of the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities, or it could be considered by our shareholders at a special shareholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the name change.  The Company’s voting securities consist of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on any matter requiring shareholder vote and each share of Series A Preferred Stock has voting rights equal to: (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors voted to utilize the written consent of the majority shareholders. The elimination of the need for a meeting of shareholders to approve this action is made possible by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as may be amended, which provides that the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having no 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.

 

Resolutions to effect the amendments were unanimously adopted by our Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholder on October 22, 2014. The Majority Shareholder owns 69.77% of our outstanding voting securities. No other votes or consents are required or necessary to effect the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation.

 

Effective Date of Amendment

 

The effective date of the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation will be on the opening of business on November ___, 2014, or a date that is 21 days from the mailing of this Information Statement to our shareholders, subject to the filing of Articles of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada, Division of Corporations.

 

AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES

 

The Authorized Increase Amendment is being sought to enhance corporate flexibility and to advance to the Company’s business plan. Similarly, we believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we may need to raise investment capital and it may be preferable or necessary to issue additional shares of common stock to investors and or to retain key personnel. Accordingly, in order to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company, or as may be required by the capital markets, the Authorized Increase Amendment will create increase the authorized shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares.

 

The Authorized Increase Amendment may have the effect of preventing or delaying the acquisition by third parties of a controlling interest in us, even though the Majority Shareholder owns approximately 69.77% of our currently outstanding voting securities. Our ability to issue a vastly increased number of voting securities may lead to an increase in the number of votes required in order to approve a future change in control and may make it substantially more difficult for third parties to gain control of us through a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or other transaction. The ability to prevent a change in control may deprive our shareholders of any benefits that may result from such a change in control, including the potential realization of a premium over the market price for our common stock that such a transaction may cause. Furthermore, the issuance of a large block of additional shares to

parties who may be deemed “friendly” to our Board of Directors may make it more difficult to remove incumbent directors from office, even if such removal would benefit our common shareholders. Despite these potential anti-takeover effects, however, the Board of Directors believed that the financial flexibility afforded by any increase in our authorized common stock outweighed any potential disadvantages. Our management and our Board of Directors have no present intention to use the increased number of authorized common shares for any anti-takeover purpose.

 

Our issuance of any additional shares of our common stock in the future may dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per share of our existing common shareholders. Such dilution may be substantial, depending on the number of shares issued. Any newly authorized shares of common stock will have voting and other rights identical to those of the currently authorized shares of common stock.

 

DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS

 

There are no dissenters’ rights applicable with respect to the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation.

 

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

 

No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, which is not shared by all other shareholders.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to the Company at 5604 Wendy Bagwell Parkway, Suite 223, Hiram, Georgia 30141

 

If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the Company at, its principal executive offices. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.

 

This Information Statement is provided to the holders of Common Stock of the Company only for information purposes in connection with the Actions, pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act. Please carefully read this Information Statement.
