SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following tables set forth, as of October 10, 2022 certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our capital stock, including our Common Stock, and Class A Stock, by:

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes general voting power and/or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the record date, and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of other securities currently convertible or convertible within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of the person holding such securities but are not deemed outstanding for computing the beneficial ownership percentage of any other person. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing the total number of shares with respect to which they possess beneficial ownership by the total number of outstanding shares. In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding but are issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares is added to the denominator in the calculation described above. Except otherwise indicated, all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Percentages based on 96,742,752 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 76,108,657 of Class A Stock outstanding as of October 10, 2022. For purposes of this disclosure, we have assumed that all shares of preferred stock other than the Class A Convertible Preferred Stock will cease to be outstanding. Each share of Class A Stock votes with the shares of Common Stock and is entitled to 50 votes per share. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each person or entity named below is c/o Singlepoint Inc. 2999 N. 44th St. Suite 530 Phoenix, Arizona 85018.

REVERSE SPLIT

Summary of Reverse Split

The Corporate Actions include the authorization for the Board of Directors to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to undertake a reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of our Common Stock and Class A Stock up to one-for-one hundred (1-for-100) as determined by the Board of Directors, and the Class B Stock, Class C Stock, Class D Stock and Class E Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the respective Certificates of Designation for each Class of Preferred Stock of the Corporation. The Reverse Split is to be effected within one year of the date consent was obtained in conjunction with a listing of the Common Stock of the Company on NASDAQ or NYSE. Once implemented, the Reverse Split would result in: each holder of our Common Stock and Class A Stock on the Record Date owning fewer shares of Common and Class A Stock, respectively than they owned immediately before the Reverse Split; the Class B Stock, Class C Stock, Class D Stock and Class E Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the respective Certificates of Designation for each Class of Preferred Stock of the Company; and our outstanding warrants, and other convertible rights will become exercisable to purchase a fewer number of shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per share increased by the factor of the Reverse Split.  Fractional shares, options and warrants will be rounded up to the nearest whole. The resultant Common Stock share ownership will be rounded up to 100 and each and every shareholder shall own at least 100 shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Split. 

We will be authorized to implement the Reverse Split within the foregoing parameters if we chose to do so within one year from the date consent was obtained. If and when implemented, we will cause our stock transfer agent to provide each Shareholder of record written notice of such implementation together with a description of the effect thereof.

The Reverse Split will not affect in any manner the rights and preferences of our shareholders. There will be no change in the voting rights, right to participate in stock or cash dividends, or rights upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Company of holders of Common Stock; nor will the Reverse Split affect in any manner the ability of our shareholders to sell under Rule 144 or otherwise engage in market transactions in accordance with federal and state securities laws.

The Reverse Split will also result in an automatic adjustment of any and all outstanding options, warrants and other rights exercisable or convertible into shares of our Common Stock. The adjustment will consist of an increase in the exercise price or conversion value per share by the factor of the Reverse Split and the number of shares issuable upon exercise or conversion will be reduced by the same factor. All other relative rights and preferences of holders of outstanding options, warrants and other rights convertible or exercisable into shares of our Common Stock shall remain unchanged.

We believe that the Reverse Split is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders for several reasons including allowing the Company to complete a listing on a national exchange such as NASDAQ or NYSE.

The Company believes it is in the best interest of all shareholder to become listed on NASDAQ or NYSE, and believes that the effectuation of the Reverse Split will assist the Company in meeting the listing qualifications. It is the intent of the Company to only effect a Reverse Split upon approval to list on a national exchange.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

If approved and implemented, the principal effects of a reverse stock split would include the following:

The Reverse Split will affect all of our shareholders uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Split results in any of our shareholders owning a fractional share. As described below, fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private” transaction under Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act following the Reverse Split.

The following table summarizes the Company’s pro forma capitalization, as of October 10, 2022, before and after giving effect to a hypothetical reverse stock split of one-for-one hundred (1 for 100):

(1) Does not reflect the rounding up of fractional shares to the nearest whole share.

Reasons for the Reverse Split

We believe that the Reverse Split is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders for several reasons. The board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to approve the Reverse Split proposal in order give the board the authority to implement a Reverse Split intended to increase the Company’s bid price. The Company does not currently comply with the requirements for initial listing on either the Nasdaq Capital Market or the NYSE MKT under any of the alternative listing standards.

The board believes that the Reverse Split should also enhance the acceptability and marketability of the Common Stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of the Common Stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses also frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase the Common Stock.

The Company cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired consequences described above.

Certain Risk Factors Associated with the Reverse Split

There can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of the Company’s Common Stock (the aggregate value of all the Company’s Common Stock at the then market price) after the proposed Reverse Split will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Split or that the per share market price of the Company’s Common Stock following the Reverse Split will either equal or exceed the current per share market price.

There can be no assurance that the market price per new share of the Company’s Common Stock after the Reverse Split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding before the Reverse Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of the Company’s Common Stock after the proposed Reverse Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the proposed Reverse Split and, in the future, the market price of the Company’s Common Stock following the Reverse Split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the proposed Reverse Split.

If the Reverse Split is effected, the resulting per share stock price may not attract institutional investors or investment funds and may not satisfy the investing guidelines of such investors and, consequently, the trading liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock may not improve.

While the board believes that a higher stock price may help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock may not necessarily improve.

A decline in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock after the Reverse Split may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Split, and the liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock could be adversely affected following such a Reverse Split.

If the Reverse Split is effected and the market price of the Company’s Common Stock declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Split. The market price of the Company’s Common Stock will, however, also be based on the Company’s performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Furthermore, the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Split could adversely affect the liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock.

Some or all of the expected benefits discussed above may not be realized or maintained. The market price of our Common Stock will continue to be based, in part, on our performance and other factors unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. A Reverse Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock without reducing the number of shares of available but unissued Common Stock, which will also have the effect of increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares. The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on the ownership of existing shareholders. The current economic environment, in which we operate, the substantial debt we carry and other risks which affect our ability to operate as a going concern, along with otherwise volatile equity market conditions, could limit our ability to raise new equity capital in the future.

Determination of Reverse Split Ratio

In asking the stockholders to approve the Reverse Split, the board also asked the stockholders to grant to the board the authority to set the ratio for the Reverse Split (provided it is not greater than 1:100) immediately prior to the consummation of the Reverse Split. Fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock prior to the time that the Company could effect the Reverse Split require that the board have the flexibility to set the exact ratio of the Reverse Split (provided it is not greater than 1:100) immediately prior to the consummation of the Reverse Split in order to attempt to achieve the objectives of the Reverse Split. The board will set the ratio for the Reverse Split, delay or abandon the Reverse Split as it determines is advisable considering relevant market conditions from time to time. The board believes that approval of this discretion, rather than approval of a specific ratio, provides the board with maximum flexibility to react to current market conditions and to the needs of prospective investors in the Company, and to therefore act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In setting the ratio for the Reverse Split, the intention of the board is to increase the stock price to a price that will best accomplish the goals of the Reverse Split, as discussed above.

Procedure for Effecting a Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

If the Board of Directors decides to implement a Reverse Split, the Company will be required to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. A reverse stock split will become effective at the time and on the date approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) for trading of our Common Stock ex-dividend, which will be referred to as the “effective time” and “effective date,” respectively. Beginning at the effective time, each certificate representing shares of Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of the number of whole shares into which the shares previously represented by the certificate were combined pursuant to the Reverse Split.

Some of the Company’s registered stockholders hold all their shares in certificate form. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all old certificates to the Company’s Transfer Agent. Consequently, you will need to surrender your old certificate(s) before you will be able to sell or transfer your stock.

Until surrendered, outstanding old certificates held by stockholders will be deemed to represent the number of whole shares of Common Stock to which these stockholders are entitled after taking into account the Reverse Split. If an old certificate has a restrictive legend on the back, a new certificate evidencing shares of Common Stock post Reverse Split will be issued with the same restrictive legends, if any, that are on back of the old certificate(s).

All expenses of the Reverse Split will be borne by the Company.

Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate(s). You should not send your old certificates to the Transfer Agent until you have received the letter of transmittal.

Effect on the Company’s Convertible Securities

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants will be proportionately decreased and the exercise price for such will be proportionately increased, in each case based on the Reverse Split ratio selected by the board of directors. The Class B Stock, Class C Stock, Class D Stock and Class E Stock shall be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the respective Certificates of Designation for each Class of Preferred Stock of the Company.

No Fractional Shares

No scrip or fractional share certificates will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares of our Common Stock not evenly divisible by the Reverse Split ratio will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing such shares, to receive an additional whole share.

Authorized Shares

The Reverse Split would not change the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock or any Class of Preferred Stock designated in our Articles of Incorporation. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Class A Stock would decrease, the number of shares available for issuance under our authorized pool of Common Stock and Class A Stock would increase from approximately 4,903,257,248 shares to 4,999,032,572 shares, and the number of shares available for issuance under our authorized pool of Class A Stock would increase from approximately 3,891,383 shares to 79,238,913 shares, assuming a hypothetical one-for-one hundred Reverse Split.

These additional shares would be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as raising additional capital, making strategic acquisitions, entering into collaborative and licensing arrangements and employee recruitment and retention. We believe that the availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment. Our future revenue may be insufficient to support the expenses of our operations and the planned expansion of our business. We therefore may need additional equity capital to finance our operations. We may seek to obtain such equity capital through the issuance of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock. We have no present plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement regarding issuance of these additional shares of Common Stock. The issuance of a substantial number of additional common shares may result in dilution of your ownership interest in the Company.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect

The proposed Reverse Split is not part of any plan to adopt a series of amendments having an anti-takeover effect, and the Company’s management presently does not intend to propose anti-takeover measures in future proxy solicitations. Subject to the limitations of Nevada law, it could be possible to use the additional shares of Common Stock or Class A Stock that would become available for issuance if the Reverse Split is approved to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control of the Company or changes in or removal of our management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the independent shareholders or in which the shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. The Reverse Split is not being proposed in response to any effort, nor are we aware of any effort, to accumulate shares of our Common Stock or obtain control of the Company.

Our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a controlling interest without the consent of our board. These provisions may delay or prevent a change of control, even if the change of control would benefit the shareholders. In addition, the authority granted to the board by our Articles of Incorporation to issue shares of preferred stock and fix the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of any series so established could be used to delay or prevent a change of control. None of these provisions would be affected by the Reverse Split.

Accounting Effects of the Reverse Split

Following the effective time of the Reverse Split, the par value of our Common Stock and existing classes of preferred stock will remain at $.0001 per share. Accordingly, the aggregate par value of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Class A Stock, and therefore the stated capital associated therewith, will be reduced, and the additional paid-in capital (capital paid in excess of the par value) will be increased in a corresponding amount for statutory and accounting purposes. If the Reverse Split is effected, all share and per share information in our financial statements will be restated to reflect the Reverse Split for all periods presented in our future filings, after the effective time of the amendment, with the SEC, as applicable. Shareholders’ equity will remain unchanged.

Public Trading

In order to implement a Reverse Split, our board of directors will be required to notify the FINRA of the Reverse Split, the desired Reverse Split ratio, and other information that the FINRA will require in order to approve and implement the split. In addition, the Company will notify the FINRA of the effective date of the Reverse Split, which will be deemed a “dividend distribution date” notwithstanding the fact that there will, in fact, be no distribution to our shareholders.

No Appraisal Rights

Stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Nevada Revised Statutes or under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (as amended) in connection with the Reverse Split.

Reservation of Right to Abandon Reverse Stock Split

The Company reserves the right to abandon the Reverse Split without further action by the stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the Reverse Split.

Circular 230 Tax Disclosures

Certain federal income tax consequences of the proposed transactions described herein are discussed below in the Sections entitled “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split”. These discussions are based upon the Internal Revenue Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial authority and administrative rulings and practice, all as of the date hereof. The company has not and will not request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, nor an opinion of counsel, regarding these tax issues. Further, these discussions do not address all federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder of shares of Common Stock or options or warrants to acquire Common Stock, or any foreign, state or local tax considerations.

The following disclosures are intended to comply with applicable Treasury Regulations. The discussions of certain federal income tax consequences referenced above and set forth below are not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used by any taxpayer, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on the taxpayer. These discussions of certain federal income tax consequences are not written to support the promotion or marketing of the transactions described herein. Accordingly, holders of Common Stock and warrants and options to acquire Common Stock are strongly urged to seek advice based on each holder’s own particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of a Reverse Stock Split

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock split. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published statements by the Internal Revenue Service and other applicable authorities in effect as of the date of this Information Statement, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities. Further, it does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences. This summary also assumes that the shares of Common Stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Split were, and the new shares received will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (generally, property held for investment).

The Company believes that the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock split would be as follows:

 The Company’s beliefs regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, the Company urges stockholders to consult with their personal tax advisors with respect to all of the potential tax consequences of the Reverse Split.

The Reverse Split will not change the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, or the relative voting power of the holders of our Common Stock. The Reverse Split would affect all of our holders of Common Stock uniformly.

There are certain risks associated with a reverse stock split, and we cannot accurately predict or assure the reverse stock split will produce or maintain the desired results. However, our Board believes that the benefits to the Company and our shareholders outweigh the risks.

 INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Except as disclosed herein, no director or officer of the Company, or associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon.
