GAHC Sees Support Grow for
Pending Acquisitions and Partnerships with Majority Of Stockholders Supporting
An Increase In Authorized Shares and Reverse Stock Split
New York, NY - 
(NewMediaWire) - September 7, 2021 - Global
Arena Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC PINK: GAHC), announced today that
Company completed its Annual Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) on
September 7, 2021, with all of the proposals receiving majority support from
the Company’s stockholders.
Management indicated that 62.76%
of the Company’s stockholders participated in this year’s Annual
Meeting. As noted in the Proxy Packet, the
proposals being voted on at this year’s Annual Meeting were:
· Re-election
of members to the Board of Directors.
· Authorization
of an increase in the Company’s authorized capital stock.
· Authorization
of a reverse stock split of the outstanding common shares; and
· Ratification
of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm.
Management indicated that there
was overwhelming support to reappoint the current Board of Directors John S.
Matthews, Facundo Bacardi and Martin Doane, and to appoint Raul Carrega, CPA,
as the Company’s independent public accounting firm. It was, however,
the incredible support that stockholders showed giving the Board of Directors
the tools to meet the Company’s ongoing needs that include the increase to the
authorized capital stock to up to 4 Billion shares, and giving the Board of
Directors the authorization to effect a 1 for 12 reverse stock split, which was
the clearest vote of confidence.
Management today also wants to
remind stockholders that the stockholders had previously voted for a 1 Billion
share increase in 2019. Stockholders also previously authorized a 1
for 4 reverse stock split in 2018 — which management decided against using as
the deals presented at the time were not believed to benefit the Company’s
stockholders. This year [2021] stockholders showed strong support
for both the authorized stock increase and a reverse stock split,
simultaneously, with over 70% of voting stockholders in support of each
proposal. Management strongly believes that the support for these
actions suggest that the market understands the Company’s business objectives and
the potential growth stemming from acquisitions and partnerships.
This also speaks to the
market’s belief that “the Company’s management takes very seriously its
responsibilities to grow and protect shareholder value, and will not misuse the
confidence placed in them,” said John S. Matthews, the Chairman and CEO of the
Company.
Mr. Matthews concluded, “I cannot
express enough how grateful we are to our stockholders for supporting our
vision. Our stockholders have given management the ability to
continue pursuing those opportunities that will lend to the growth and future
prosperity of Global Arena Holding and we will continue striving to be the best
in our marketplace; as innovators and fundamentally sound in our business
plan.”
The Annual Meeting process
was supported by: Clear Trust LLC, Broadridge and Mediant.
As always, management
recommends reading the Company’s financials in their entirety and contacting
the Company at any time with any questions.
