The number of votes cast for the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation was sufficient for approval.

ARTICLE I

CORPORATE NAME


The name of this Corporation shall be: BLGI, INC.


ARTICLE II

NATURE OF CORPORATE BUSINESS AND POWERS


The general nature of the business to be transacted by this Corporation shall be to engage in any and all lawful business permitted under the laws of the United States and the State of Florida.


ARTICLE III

CAPITAL STOCK


The Maximum number of shares that this Corporation shall be authorized to issue and have outstanding at any one time shall be 210,000,000 shares, of which (i) 200,000,000 shares shall be designated as Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares shall be designated as “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Preferred Stock”).


The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.


A.          COMMON STOCK


1.           General.  The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders of the Preferred Stock set forth herein.


2.           Voting.  The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of meetings); provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or pursuant to the FBCA. There shall be no cumulative voting.




3.           Reverse Stock Split. Upon the filing of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations (the “Effective Time”), each twenty (20) outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Old Common Stock”) shall be combined and converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “New Common Stock”) based on a ratio of one share of New Common Stock for each twenty shares of Old Common Stock (the “Reverse Split Ratio”). This reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall not affect the total number of shares of capital stock, including the Common Stock, that the Corporation is authorized to issue, which shall remain as set forth under this Article III.


The Reverse Split shall occur without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the holders of shares of New Common Stock and whether or not certificates representing such holders’ shares prior to the Reverse Split are surrendered for cancellation. No fractional interest in a share of New Common Stock shall be deliverable upon the Reverse Split, all of which shares of New Common Stock be rounded up to the nearest whole number of such shares. All references to “Common Stock” in these Articles shall be to the New Common Stock.


The Reverse Split will be effectuated on a stockholder-by-stockholder (as opposed to certificate-by-certificate) basis, except that the Reverse Split will be effectuated on a certificate-by-certificate basis for shares held by registered holders. For shares held in certificated form, certificates dated as of a date prior to the Effective Time representing outstanding shares of Old Common Stock shall, after the Effective Time, represent a number of shares of New Common Stock as is reflected on the face of such certificates for the Old Common Stock, divided by the Reverse Split Ratio and rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Corporation shall not be obligated to issue new certificates evidencing the shares of New Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split unless and until the certificates evidencing the shares held by a holder prior to the Reverse Split are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates.”
