INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A CONSENT OR PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A CONSENT OR PROXY.

INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14C OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDER MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY HOLDERS OF A MAJORITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. THERE ARE NO DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.

This Information Statement advises stockholders of MOJO Organics, Inc. (the “Company”) of:

Our Board of Directors approved the Certificate of Amendment on June 8, 2022 (the Certificate of Amendment is referred to herein as the “Amendment”) and approved close of markets on June 8, 2022 as the record date for determining shareholders eligible to vote to approve the Amendment (the “Voting Record Date”). The Amendment was subsequently approved, by written consent, by stockholders holding a majority of our outstanding voting stock (common stock) on the Voting Record Date (the “Written Consent”). Copies of the substantive text of the Certificate of Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A.

Accordingly, all necessary corporate approvals to effectuate the Amendment have been obtained. We are not seeking approval from our remaining stockholders. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of informing our stockholders, in the manner required pursuant to the Exchange Act and the Delaware law of the Amendment. Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14c-2 promulgated pursuant thereto, the Amendment will not be effective until twenty (20) days after the date a Definitive Information Statement is filed with the Commission and a copy thereof is mailed to each of our stockholders. Therefore, this Information Statement is being sent to you for informational purposes only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we must notify the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority of the Name Change and Reverse Stock Split by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the reverse split. The Company anticipates that the amendments discussed above will be effected in July 2022.

AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing. As the holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to vote on such matters, approval of the Amendment required the approval of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On the Voting Record Date, the Company had 31,357,003 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share. The Written Consent was executed by Glenn Simpson (CEO) holding 14,199,784 shares of Common Stock (45.28% of outstanding), by Diane Cudia (Corporate Controller) holding 833,333 shares of Common Stock (2.66% of outstanding), and by Jeffrey Devlin (Director) holding 811,286 shares of Common Stock (2.59% of outstanding), who together held 50.53% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock as of the Voting Record Date, and who together voted in favor of the Amendment.

We have obtained all necessary corporate approvals in connection with the Amendment. We are not seeking written consents from any other stockholder, and the other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the actions described in this Information Statement. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising stockholders of the action approved by the Written Consent and giving stockholders notice of the Amendment as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Exchange Act.

As the Amendment was approved by the Written Consent, there will be no stockholders’ meeting, and representatives of the principal accountants for the current year and for the most recently completed fiscal year will not have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.

ACTION ONE

NAME CHANGE

Our Board of Directors and Majority Stockholder approved a corporate name change to “Equator Beverage Company” from “MOJO Organics, Inc.” Management believes that changing our name to Equator Beverage Company will give the Company an improved identity.

When the Name Change is effectuated, the Company’s common stock will receive a new CUSIP number, which is the number used to identify the Company’s equity securities, but the stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will not need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number. They will be issuable upon surrender. Our common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTC Markets. We will report our new CUSIP number and we will have the same trading symbol in “MOJO.”

ACTION TWO

AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION FOR REVERSE SPLIT AND

DECREASE IN AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

Reverse Stock Split

General

On June 8, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, declared it advisable and in the Company’s best interest, and directed that there be submitted to the holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock for approval, the prospective amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-2 reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On June 8, 2022, stockholders of the Company owning a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock (the “Majority Stockholders”) approved the Reverse Stock Split by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders.

Effects of Reverse Split

The corporate action provides for the combination of our presently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of identical Common Stock. This is known as a “reverse stock split.” Under the proposal, each two (2) shares of our presently issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the close of business on the effective date of the approved director’s resolution will be converted automatically into one (1) share of our post-reverse stock split Common Stock. Fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, we will issue one share of our post-reverse stock split Common Stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split.

Each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding Common Stock immediately following the reverse stock split as he or she did immediately prior to the reverse stock split, except for adjustments required due to the treatment of fractional shares. The Reverse Split will also change the number of authorized shares of Common Stock at the same ratio.

Common Stock

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

The primary purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the per share price of our Common Stock. The reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to result from the Reverse Stock Split is expected to increase the market price of the Common Stock to a level above the current market trading price. While the Board believes that the shares of Common Stock will trade at higher prices than those which have prevailed in the recent past, there can be no assurance that such increase in the trading price will occur or, if it does occur, that it will equal or exceed the direct arithmetical result of the Reverse Stock Split because there are numerous factors and contingencies which could affect our market price.

The Company’s Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Market Groups, Inc. “Current Information” tier under the symbol “MOJO.” A higher per share price for the Common Stock may enable the Company to meet minimum bid price criteria for initial listing of the Common Stock on a national securities exchange at such time as we implement our future business plans. Because trading of our Common Stock is conducted in the over-the-counter market, an investor could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Common Stock. In addition, because the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and presently trades at less than $5.00 per share, trading in our Common Stock is subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, which require additional disclosure by brokers or dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a “penny stock.” Because our Common Stock is presently classified as a “penny stock,” prior to effectuating any transaction in our Common Stock, a broker or dealer is required to make a suitability determination as to the proposed purchaser of our Common Stock and to receive a written agreement, meeting certain requirements. The additional burdens imposed upon brokers or dealers by such requirements could discourage brokers or dealers from effecting transactions in our Common Stock, which could limit the market liquidity of our Common Stock and the ability of investors to trade our Common Stock.

The Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split also could result in a broader market for our Common Stock than the current market. Many institutional investors are unwilling or unable due to investment restrictions to invest in companies whose stock trades at less than $5.00 per share. Many investment advisors are subject to internal restrictions on their ability to recommend stocks trading at less than $5.00 per share because of a general presumption that such stocks may be highly speculative. In addition, stocks trading at less than $5.00 per share may not be marginable under the internal policies of some investment firms. The Reverse Stock Split is anticipated to result in a price increase for our Common Stock relieving, to some extent, the effect of such limitations on the market for our Common Stock. Additionally, brokerage commissions on the sale of lower priced stocks often represent a higher percentage of the sales price than commissions on relatively higher priced stocks. The expected increase in trading price may also encourage interest and trading in our Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. We also believe that the current per share price of our Common Stock has or may have a negative effect on our ability to use our Common Stock in connection with possible future transactions such as financings, strategic alliances, acquisitions and other uses not presently determinable. However, there can be no assurances that the Reverse Stock Split will have the desired consequences.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split will be effected and will be effective upon a date on or after the expiration of the 20-day Period after the mailing of this Information Statement. The 20-day Period is expected to conclude in July, 2022. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we must notify the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority of the Name Change and the Reverse Split by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.

Adoption of the Reverse Stock Split will reduce the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date and it will correspondingly reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split also will have no effect on the par value of the Common Stock. The effect of the reverse split upon holders of Common Stock will be that the total number of shares of our Common Stock held by each stockholder will be automatically converted into the number of whole shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock owned immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split divided by two (2), adjusted for any fractional shares. Each of our stockholders will continue to own shares of Common Stock and will continue to share in the assets and future growth of the Company as a stockholder. Each stockholder that currently owns fewer than two shares of Common Stock will receive one (1) whole shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will change due to adjustments for fractional shares.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Split will not affect the par value of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to Common Stock would be increased from then current amount by a factor that equals the Reverse Split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account would be debited with the amount by which the stated capital is increased. The per share net income or loss and net book value per share will be increased because there will be less shares issued and outstanding.

Tax Consequences to Common Stockholders

The following discussion sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences that the Company’s management believes will apply with respect to the Company and the shareholders of the Company who are United States holders at the effective time of the Reverse Split. This discussion does not address the tax consequences of transactions effectuated prior to or after the Reverse Split, including, without limitation, the tax consequences of the exercise of options, warrants or similar rights to purchase stock. For this purpose, a United States holder is a shareholder that is: (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a domestic corporation, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of his particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules (such as dealers in securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign individuals and entities and persons who acquired their Common Stock as compensation). In addition, this summary is limited to shareholders who hold their Common Stock as capital assets. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, or foreign jurisdiction. Accordingly, each shareholder is strongly urged to consult with a tax adviser to determine the particular federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences to such shareholder related to any Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be a tax-free recapitalization to the Company and its stockholders, except for those stockholders who receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share. Stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, except for those stockholders receiving shares of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share (as described herein). The holding period for shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will include the holding period of shares of Common Stock before the Reverse Stock Split, provided that such shares of Common Stock are held as a capital asset at the effective time of the Amendment. The adjusted basis of the shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will be the same as the adjusted basis of the shares of Common Stock before the Reverse Stock Split, excluding the basis of fractional shares. A stockholder who receives shares of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share generally may recognize gain in an amount not to exceed the excess of the fair market value of such shares over the fair market value of the fractional share to which the stockholder was otherwise entitled.

THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR PERSON. IN PARTICULAR, AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THIS SUMMARY ASSUMES THAT THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE HELD AS “CAPITAL ASSETS” AS DEFINED IN THE CODE, AND DOES NOT CONSIDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THE COMPANY’S STOCKHOLDERS IN LIGHT OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENT CIRCUMSTANCES OR TO HOLDERS WHO MAY BE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL TREATMENT UNDER THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS (SUCH AS DEALERS IN SECURITIES, INSURANCE COMPANIES, FOREIGN INDIVIDUALS AND ENTITIES, FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND TAX EXEMPT ENTITIES). IN ADDITION, THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY CONSEQUENCES OF ANY REVERSE SPLIT UNDER ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS. THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ANY REVERSE SPLIT MAY VARY AS TO EACH STOCKHOLDER DEPENDING ON THE STATE IN WHICH SUCH STOCKHOLDER RESIDES.

AS A RESULT, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH STOCKHOLDER TO OBTAIN AND RELY ON ADVICE FROM HIS, HER OR ITS TAX ADVISOR AS TO, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: (A) THE EFFECT ON HIS, HER OR ITS TAX SITUATION OF ANY FORWARD SPLIT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS; (B) THE EFFECT OF POSSIBLE FUTURE LEGISLATION OR REGULATIONS; AND (C) THE REPORTING OF INFORMATION REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY REVERSE SPLIT ON HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX RETURNS. IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH STOCKHOLDER TO PREPARE AND FILE ALL APPROPRIATE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND, IF APPLICABLE, FOREIGN TAX RETURNS.

Tax Consequences for the Company

The Company should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Split.

Share Certificate Transfer Instructions

SHARE CERTIFICATES SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO US OR THE TRANSFER AGENT BEFORE RECEIPT OF SUCH LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FROM THE COMPANY.

Until a stockholder forwards a completed letter of transmittal, together with certificates representing such stockholder’s shares of pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to the transfer agent and receives in return a certificate representing shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, such stockholder’s pre-Reverse Split Common Stock shall be deemed equal to the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to which such stockholder is entitled as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Decrease the Authorized Common Stock

General

On June 8, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, declared it advisable and in the Company’s best interest and directed that there be submitted to the holders of a majority of the Company’s voting stock for approval, the prospective amendment to the Fourth Article of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to decrease the authorized common stock from 40,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, to 20,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 (the “Decrease in Authorized Amendment”). On June 8, 2022, the Majority Stockholders approved the Decrease in Authorized Amendment by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders.

Reasons for the Decrease in Authorized Amendment

Currently, the Company is authorized to issue 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Of the 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, as of the Voting Record Date, there were 31,357,003 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. After the Reverse Stock Split, as detailed herein, the Company will have approximately 15,678,502 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

As a general matter, the Majority Stockholders believe the available number of unissued shares of Common Stock after the 2-for-1 reverse stock split is too many shares to be potentially issued at the discretion of the Board of Directors without going back to the Company’s shareholders for approval prior to issuance. As a result the Majority Stockholders approved the Decrease in Authorized Amendment.

The Board of Directors is considering, and will continue to consider, various financing options, including the issuance of either Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock from time to time to raise additional capital necessary to support future growth of the Company. As a result of the Decrease in Authorized Amendment, the Board of Directors feels potential investors will be more likely to invest in the Company’s securities if the Company’s Board of Directors can only issue up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock as opposed to 40,000,000 shares of common stock.

Ability of the Board to Issue Stock; Certain Issuances Requiring Shareholder Approval

The shares of Common Stock authorized by the Decrease in Authorized Amendment may be issued for any proper purpose from time to time upon authorization by the Board of Directors, without further approval by the stockholders unless required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, rules of any trading market that the Company’s Common Stock may trade on at that time. Shares may be issued for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine and as may be permitted by applicable law.

Interest of the Directors and Officers of the Company in the Decrease in Authorized Amendment

The current officers and directors of the Company and the officers and directors of the Company when the Decrease in Authorized Amendment was approved by the Board of Directors do not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the approval of the Decrease in Authorized Amendment, other than as stockholders of the Company.

Effects of the Decrease in Authorized Amendment

The Decrease in Authorized Amendment was not approved as a means of preventing or dissuading a change in control or takeover of the Company. However, lowering the number of shares that can be issued could decrease the opportunity for a future change of control or takeover of the Company. The Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company have no knowledge of any current effort to obtain control of the Company or to accumulate large amounts of Common Stock.

The holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of additional Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or such other securities might dilute the ownership and voting rights of stockholders.

The holders of Common Stock will not realize any dilution in their percentage of ownership of our company or their voting rights as a result of the decrease. However, issuances of significant numbers of additional shares of Common Stock in the future (i) may dilute stockholders’ percentage ownership of our company and (ii) if such shares are issued at prices below what current stockholders paid for their shares, may dilute the value of current stockholders’ shares.

The Decrease in Authorized Amendment does not change the terms of the Common Stock.

The Decrease in Authorized Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A, will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State with an expected effective date on a day in July, 2022.

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, holders of our capital stock are not entitled to dissenter’s rights of appraisal with respect to the proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation and the adoption of the Amendment.
