SECTION 5 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Item 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On March 18, 2014, we filed a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to effectuate a one-for-four (1:4) reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) and a contemporaneous one-for-four (1:4) reduction in the number of our authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (our “Common Stock”) from 194,444,445 to 48,611,111 shares, in accordance with the procedure authorized by Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 78.207 and 78.209. Our board of directors approved this corporate action by resolutions adopted at meetings duly held on March 6, 2014 and March 18, 2014. The Reverse Split did not require stockholder approval.

The Reverse Split was effective for trading purposes at the market opening on March 19, 2014, at which time our Common Stock began trading on the NYSE MKT on a split-adjusted basis. Our Common Stock continues to trade under the symbol “AMZG.” The new CUSIP number for our Common Stock post-Reverse Split is 02554F 300.

We will round up to the next full share of our Common Stock any fractional shares that result from the Reverse Split. We may also issue additional shares of our Common Stock to any record or beneficial holder thereof, who, solely as a result of the Reverse Split and without such additional issuance, would otherwise lose the status as a holder of a round lot of shares of our Common Stock.

A copy of the Certificate of Change is attached as Exhibit 3(i).7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
