Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On January 16, 2015, the Registrant accepted a conversion notice from JSJ Investments Inc. ("JSJ ") to partially satisfy a $100,000 Convertible Promissory Note Agreement ("the JSJ Note") dated July 14, 2014 with JSJ. The interest rate on the Note is 10% per annum, and the Note has a maturity date of six (6) months from the Effective Date. 89,802,212 shares, representing 4.9% of our issued and outstanding shares on the conversion date, were issued to satisfy $4,879 of the outstanding principal. In accordance with the terms of the JSJ Note the shares were issued at a price equal to 58% of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices (VWAP) during the previous twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. As of the date of this report the remaining amount currently outstanding on the JSJ Note is $100,217, consisting of $95,121 in principal and $5,096 in accrued interest.
JSJ is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D. The Company believes this transaction is exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The above described executed Note is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 10.1.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On February 10, 2015, the Registrant filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Amendment”) to implement a 1-for-200 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Registrant's outstanding common stock (the "Common Stock"). A copy of the Amendment is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Report.
The Reverse Stock Split will be effective with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) at the open of business on February 17, 2015 (the "Effective Date"), and the Company’s common stock will trade with a “D” added, under the symbol “NBRID”, for the next 20 business days to designate that it is trading on a post-reverse split basis. Trading will resume under the symbol “NBRI” after the 20 day period has expired. The par value and other terms of Company’s common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The post-split Common Stock will trade under a new CUSIP number, 657488300.
On the Effective Date each 200 shares of the Registrant's issued and outstanding Common Stock will automatically, and without any action on the part of the respective holders, be combined and converted into one (1) issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will result in a reduction in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Registrant's Common Stock from approximately 1.92 billion to approximately 9.6 million. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any remaining fractional shares will entitle a shareholder to receive a full share of post-split shares on the effective date of the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding physical share certificates will receive instructions from the Company's transfer agent, Colonial Stock Transfer Company, Inc., regarding the process for exchanging their pre-split share certificates for new share certificates. Stockholders with shares held in book-entry form or through a bank, broker, or other nominee are not required to take any action and will see the impact of the Reverse Stock Split reflected in their accounts.
