holders of record at the close of business on September 14, 2007 ("Record Date")
of the Company's outstanding common stock, par value $0.00001 per share and
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Series A

up. The Company's Board of Directors and stockholders with a majority of the
Company's voting power as of the Record Date also ratified and approved an
amendment to the Company’s bylaws to allow for the issuance of uncertificated
shares.
The

INFORMATION
STATEMENT
This
information statement is being furnished to all holders of the common stock
and
Series A Preferred Stock of B2Digital as of the Record Date.
The
Board
of Directors has recommended and persons owning the majority of the voting
power
of B2Digital have adopted resolutions to effect the above-listed actions.
B2Digital
will pay the cost of preparing and sending out this Information Statement.
It
will be sent to shareholders via regular mail along with a copy of B2Digital's
report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the year ended March 31, 2007 and Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Dissenter's
Rights of Appraisal
B2Digital
is distributing this Information Statement to its stockholders in full
satisfaction of any notice requirements it may have under Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Delaware General Corporation Law.
No
dissenters' rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law are afforded
to
the company's stockholders as a result of the adoption of this resolution.
VOTING
SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF
As
of the
Record Date, B2Digital had 169,373,971 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding and 1,700,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding and presently convertible at a rate of two hundred and forty (240)
shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A
Preferred Stock votes with the common stock on all matters to be voted on by
the
common stock on an as converted basis. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock
have
no cumulative voting rights or preemptive or other rights to subscribe for
shares. The approval of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a class, is required for
certain specified matters including, but not limited to, an action which would
alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred
by way of reverse stock split, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
otherwise, so as to adversely affect in any manner the voting rights including
number of votes presently allowed or the conversion basis by which the shares
of
Series A Preferred are presently converted into shares of common
stock.
As
of the
Record Date, the Company had 12,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding. The Series B does
not have any voting rights and does not have a liquidation preference, does
not
accrue, earn or participate in any dividends and is not subject to redemption.
Twelve months after the original issuance date, but not before, each outstanding
share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted at the option of the holder
into five (5) shares of common stock. As of the Record Date, the Company has
issued an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to two
overseas investors, but has not delivered or received payment for the shares,
which is dependant on certain conditions including DTC eligibility for the
shares. As such, the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock is not
presently convertible into common stock and has no voting rights.
Only
holders of record of the Company's voting stock at the close of business on
the
Record Date were entitled to participate in the written consent of Company
stockholders. Each share of common stock was entitled to one (1) vote for each
share of common stock held by such shareholder, and each holder of Series A
Preferred Stock was entitled to vote with the common stock at a rate of two
hundred and forty (240) votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held
by
such shareholder.
The
Company's Board of Directors and stockholders with a majority of the Company's
voting power have approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse split of all outstanding shares
of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one (1) new share for every two
hundred (200) existing shares of common stock, pursuant to which every two
hundred (200) issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be combined
into one (1) share of common stock. There will be no adjustment to the
authorized shares of common stock of the Company and any fractional shares
will
be rounded up, so that no shareholder shall have less than 1 share after the
effectiveness of the reverse split. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series
B
Preferred Stock will not be subject to the reverse split. Further, the
conversion rate of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock
and
the voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock will not adjust as a result
of
the reverse stock split.
The
Company's Board of Directors have also approved an amendment to the Company’s
bylaws to allow for the issuance of uncertificated shares under the provisions
of Delaware law. Stockholders with a majority of the Company's voting power
have
also ratified and approved this action.
SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
As
of the
Record Date, 169,373,971 shares of common stock of B2Digital were issued and
outstanding and 1,700,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of B2Digital were
issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth, as of such date, certain
information regarding beneficial ownership of B2Digital’s shares as of the
Record Date (i) by each person who is known by B2Digital to beneficially own
more than 5% of its voting securities; (ii) by each of its officers and
directors; and (iii) by all of its officers and directors as a group.
Beneficial
ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange
Act.
Under this rule, shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than
one
person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose
of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by
a
person if the person has the right to acquire shares within 60 days of the
date
of this table pursuant to options, warrants, conversion privileges or other
rights. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or group, the amount
of shares includes the amount of shares beneficially owned by the person or
group by reason of these acquisition rights.
To
the
Company’s knowledge, except as otherwise indicated and pursuant to applicable
community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and
investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by
them.
Each person's address is c/o B2Digital, Incorporated, 4425 Ventura Canyon Ave.,
Suite 105, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423.

485-1346)).
I. REVERSE
STOCK SPLIT
The
Company's Board of Directors and stockholders with a majority of the voting
power have approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended, to effect a reverse split of all outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock at a rate of one (1) new share for every two hundred (200) existing
shares of common stock. There will be no change to the authorized shares of
common stock of the Company and any fractional shares will be rounded up, so
that no shareholder shall have less than 1 share after the effective date of
the
reverse split. The Company has 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock
authorized.
Upon
effectiveness, the Company will file an amendment to the Company’s Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Company
will also obtain a new CUSIP number for the common stock at the time of the
reverse split. The Company must provide the Over the Counter Bulletin Board
at
least ten (10) calendar days advance notice of the effective date of the reverse
stock split in compliance with Rule 10b-17 under the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934.
PURPOSE
The
purpose of the reverse stock split is to attempt to increase the per share
trading value of the Company’s common stock, to increase the marketability of
its stock to potential new investors and its ability to attract institutional
investors to hold its shares, while decreasing the volatility of the stock
price. However, in many cases, the market price of a company's shares declines
after a reverse stock split.
EFFECTS
OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
After
the
effective day of the reverse stock split, each stockholder will own a reduced
number of shares of common stock. Without taking into account the issuance
of
any common stock to allow for fractional shares, based on the number of shares
of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date, after the effective date
of
the reverse split, there will be approximately 846,870 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding. The outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of
5,000,000 shares of common stock will not be affected by the reverse split.
The
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock will not
be
subject to the reverse split. Further, the conversion rate of the Series A
Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and the voting rights of the Series
A Preferred Stock will not adjust as a result of the reverse stock split. As
such, after the reverse, the Series A Preferred Stock holders may be deemed
to
control approximately 99.8% of the Company’s voting power (without taking into
account any other outstanding conversion rights). The Series A Preferred Stock
is held by two of the Company’s officers and directors.
The
reverse stock split will affect all common stockholders uniformly and will
not
affect any common shareholders' percentage interest in the common stock of
the
Company (except for shareholders receiving one whole share for a fractional
share interest). However, as a result of the reverse stock split, the common
stockholders’ voting rights will be dramatically decreased as the conversion
rate of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock and the voting
rights of the Series A Preferred Stock will not adjust as a result of the
reverse stock split and therefore, the Series A Preferred Stock holders may
be
deemed to control approximately 99.8% of the Company’s voting power. As such,
common stockholders will own less than 1% of the Company’s voting power
following the reverse stock split. Another effect of a reverse stock split
is to
increase the number of authorized, but unissued shares of common stock, which
would be available for issuance by the Board of Directors. Issuances of
additional common stock or preferred stock convertible into common stock would
significantly dilute the ownership position of the Company's stockholders.
Further, an effect of the existence of authorized but unissued capital stock
may
be to enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage
an
attempt to obtain control of the company by means of a merger, tender offer,
proxy contest, or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of the
Company's management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations,
for
example, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal
was
not in the Company's best interests, such shares could be issued by the Board
of
Directors without stockholder approval in one or more private placements or
other transactions that might prevent, or render more difficult or costly,
completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights
of
the acquiror or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group, by creating a
substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake
to
support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an
acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise. The
Company does not have any current plans, proposals, or arrangements to propose
any amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws that would have
a
material anti-takeover effect.
The
Company cannot predict the effect of a reverse stock split upon the market
price
over an extended period and, in many cases the market value of a company's
common stock following a reverse split declines. The Company cannot assure
you
that the trading price of the Company’s common stock after the reverse stock
split will rise in inverse proportion to the reduction in the number of shares
of the Company’s common stock outstanding as a result of the reverse stock
split. Also, the Company cannot assure you that a reverse stock split would
lead
to a sustained increase in the trading price of its common stock. The trading
price of its common stock may change due to a variety of other factors,
including the Company’s operating results and other factors related to the
Company’s business and general market conditions.
Further,
as a result of the reverse split, some stockholders may own less than 100 shares
of B2Digital’s common stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares, known
as an "odd lot" transaction, may result in incrementally higher trading costs
through certain brokers, particularly "full service" brokers. Therefore, those
stockholders who own less than 100 shares following the reverse split may be
required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their shares of common
stock.
No
fractional shares of post-reverse split common stock will be issued to any
shareholder. In lieu of any such fractional share interest, each holder of
pre-reverse common stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional
share of post-reverse common stock will in lieu thereof receive one full share
upon surrender of certificates formerly representing pre-reverse common stock
held by such holder.
The
Company is not attempting to go "private" by the reverse split. The actual
number of shareholders shall remain the same, with no current shareholder having
less than one share, after the effectiveness of the reverse split.
The
Company does not presently have any definitive agreement(s) to issue any shares
of common stock available as a result of the reverse stock split.
FEDERAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT
The
combination of shares of pre-split common stock into one share of post-split
common stock should be a tax-free transaction under the Internal Revenue Code
of
1986, as amended, and the holding period and tax basis of the pre-split common
stock will be transferred to the post-split common stock.
This
discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax
consequences of the reverse split may not be the same for all shareholders.
Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to know their individual
federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.
EFFECTIVE
DATE AND EXCHANGE OF STOCK CERTIFICATES
The
reverse stock split will become effective as set forth in the Certificate of
Amendment filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (at least twenty days
after
the mailing of this Information Statement) (the “Effective Date”). On the
Effective Date, shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
thereto will be combined and converted, automatically and without any action
on
the part of the stockholders, into new shares of common stock at a rate of
one
(1) new share for every two hundred (200) existing shares of common stock.
As
soon as practical after the Effective Date, the shareholders will be notified
that a reverse split has been effected. The Company's transfer agent will act
as
"exchange agent" for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock
certificates. Holders of pre-reverse split shares will be asked to surrender
to
the exchange agent certificates representing pre-reverse split shares in
exchange for certificates representing post-reverse split shares in accordance
with a letter of transmittal to be sent by the Company.
APPROVAL
REQUIRED
Pursuant
to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the approval of a majority of the
outstanding stock entitled to vote is necessary to approve the amendment to
the
Certificate of Incorporation. As discussed above, persons owning the majority
of
the voting power of B2Digital have consented to this action. A copy of the
proposed Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the reverse
split is attached as Exhibit A.
II. RATIFICATION
AND APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED
BYLAWS
The
Company's Board of Directors have approved an amendment to the Company’s bylaws
to include a provision for the issuance of uncertificated shares under Delaware
law. Further, although not required under Delaware law and the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, persons owning the majority of the voting power
of
B2Digital have consented to this action and the Company is providing this
information to satisfy its disclosure obligations related to this action. This
amendment will allow the Company to issue its authorized common stock and
preferred stock, including Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series
B
Convertible Preferred Stock, as uncertificated shares. The Company currently
has
5,000,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 50,000,000 shares of
preferred stock authorized, of which 2,000,000 shares have been designated
as
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 40,000,000 shares have been designated
as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. There will be no change to the
Company’s common and preferred stock as a result of its ability to issue
uncertificated shares. The amended and restated bylaws also provide that each
registered stockholder shall be entitled to a stock certificate upon request
to
the transfer agent or registrar of the Company.
This
amendment is required for eligibility for a direct registration program such
as
the Direct Registration System (“DRS”) operated by a clearing agency such as The
Depository Trust Company. A direct registration program allows an investor
to
have securities registered in the investor’s name without having a physical
certificate issued to the investor. The Company believes that participation
in a
direct registration program will allow for a more accurate, quick, and
cost-effective method of transferring securities between the Company (and its
transfer agents) and broker/dealers; and a safer way of owning stock, by
reducing the risks normally associated with possessing and processing physical
certificates including turnaround delays, mail losses, and the risks associated
with stolen, forged or counterfeit certificates. Further, the SEC has required
that certain issuers of listed securities must be DRS eligible by January 1,
2008. Although the Company’s securities are listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and
are not required to be DRS eligible at this time, we believe this may be
required by SEC regulations implementing Congressional directives in the near
future. Potential adverse effects of applying for DRS include the time and
expense in becoming DRS eligible. Although the Company may apply for DRS for
its
securities in the future, as required by the SEC or as part of its business
plan
for the reasons set forth above, there are no present plans to apply for the
DRS
for the Company’s securities or any current plans, proposals or agreements
related to the company’s ability to issue uncertificated shares.
APPROVAL
REQUIRED
Pursuant
to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company’s bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of
the majority of the members of the Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of
Directors has approved this amendment. Further, although not required, persons
owning the majority of the voting power of B2Digital have consented to this
action. A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached as Exhibit B.
The
provisions related to this action are set forth in Article VI, Section 1 and
Section 4.
INTEREST
OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN
OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
Following
the reverse split, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will control
over
99% of the voting power of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock is owned
by
Robert Russell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and chairman and Paul
LaBarre, the Company’s Chief Operations Officer and a director. No director of
the Company opposed the proposed actions taken by the Company set forth in
this
Information Statement.
MISCELLANEOUS
One
Information Statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an
address unless the Company receives contrary instructions from one or more
of
the stockholders sharing such address. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Company will undertake to promptly deliver a separate copy of this Information
Statement to the stockholder at the shared address to which a single copy of
the
Information Statement was delivered and provide instructions as to how the
stockholder can notify the Company that the stockholder wishes to receive a
separate copy of this Information Statement or other communications to the
stockholder in the future. In the event a stockholder desires to
provide the Company with such notice, it may be given verbally by telephoning
the Company’s offices at (310) 281-2571 or by mail to the Company’s address at
4425 Ventura Canyon Avenue, Suite 105, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423.

Stock”) issued and outstanding shall, automatically and without any action on
the part of the respective holders thereof, be combined and converted into
one
(1) share of Common Stock of the corporation and the authorized shares of this
corporation shall remain as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.
No
fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the foregoing reverse
stock
split. To the extent that a shareholder holds a number of shares of Common
Stock

Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the

not
adjust as a result of the reverse stock split.”
RESOLVED
FURTHER, that following the reverse stock split, the Fourth Article of the

Billion (5,000,000,000) shares of common stock, $.00001 par value (the “Common
Stock”) and Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of preferred stock, $.00001 par
value (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock may be divided into and
issued in series. The Board of Directors shall have the authority by resolution,
duly adopted from time to time, to divide and issue the Preferred Stock in
series and to fix and determine the voting powers, other powers, designations,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of any series
of Preferred Stock so established.”
The
remaining provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation shall remain
unchanged.

The
Board
of Directors shall have the power from time to time to delegate any of its

office of Class 1 directors to expire at the first annual meeting of
shareholders after their election, that of Class 2 directors to expire at the

office until the third succeeding annual meeting. No classification of directors
shall be effective prior to the first annual meeting of shareholders or at
any
time when the Board of Directors consists of less than six (6) members.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever

of
such directors. Any certificate or other document filed under any provision
of
the laws of the state of Delaware which relates to an action so taken shall

OF INTERPRETATION AND SEVERABILITY
The

of Delaware has arisen or shall arise, these Bylaws shall be considered to
be
modified to the extent, but only to the extent, conformity shall require. If

reason of the foregoing sentence, such invalidity shall not affect the validity
the remainder of the Bylaws without the invalid provisions or application
thereof, and the provisions of these Bylaws are declared to be severable.
