On December 11, 2009, GVC Venture Corp. (the “Company”) amended and restated its then existing Certificate of Incorporation by filing a Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.  This filing was made (a) to change the Company’s name to Halo Companies, Inc., (b) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50 million to 375 million, (c) to eliminate the 80% voting threshold requirements for certain corporate actions and (d) to modify certain provisions relating to the terms of directors.
 
Also on December 11, 2009, the Company amended its Restated Certificate of Incorporation by filing an Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.  This filing was made to effect a 7.57 for one (7.57:1) reverse stock split on the Company’s outstanding common stock as of November 13, 2009.
 
On November 10, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to stockholder approval.  On November 13, 2009, senior executives of the Company delivered to the Company an executed written consent of stockholders approving the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation.  The written consent reflected the vote of holders of shares representing approximately 94% of the combined voting power of the Company’s equity securities.  The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation became effective on December 11, 2009.
 
Also on November 10, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved Amended By-Laws of the Company (the “By-Laws”). Pursuant to the terms of the Board’s approval, the By-Laws became effective on December 11, 2009.
 
A description of the material provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended By-Laws can be found in the Information Statement on Schedule 14C which was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2009, and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Amendment to Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended By-Laws are attached as Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
On November 10, 2009 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a change in the Company's fiscal year end to December 31 from June 30. The Company plans to report its financial results for the full 12-month period of January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 on a Transition Report on Form 10-K.  After filing the Transition Report, the Company’s next fiscal year end will be December 31, 2010. The Company’s press release, dated December 15, 2009, announcing the change in fiscal year is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
