SHAREHOLDERS OWNING A MAJORITY OF OUR OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE APPROVED AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER WITH OUR
NEWLY FORMED NEVADA WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY PURSUANT TO WHICH WE WILL BE REINCORPORATED IN NEVADA. A VOTE OF THE REMAINING SHAREHOLDERS
IS NOT NECESSARY.
Introduction
This
Information Statement is being furnished on or about the date first set forth above to holders of record as of the close of business
on June , 2017 (the “Record Date”) of the common stock, par value $.00001 per share, of Mercari Communications Group,
Ltd., a Colorado corporation (“Mercari,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”), in connection
with the merger of Mercari with and into its newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, AiXin Life International, Inc., a Nevada corporation,

shares as of the Record Date signed on June , 2017 (the “Shareholder Consent”). The Shareholder Consent was signed

Capital Group Ltd., the record owner of 14,300,591 shares. As of the Record Date, we had outstanding 45,411,400 shares of common
stock.
Approval
of the Reincorporation Merger by a written consent in lieu of a meeting of shareholders signed by the holders of a majority of

prior to the 21st day after this Information Statement is mailed to shareholders of record as of the Record Date.
Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
Change
in Control
On
February 2, 2017, Quanzhong Lin, an entrepreneur resident in the People’s Republic of China, purchased 29,521,410 shares
of our common stock, representing approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, for a purchase
price of $300,000, from China Concentric Capital Group Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company (“China Concentric”),
pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 21, 2016. China Concentric had purchased 43,822,001 share of our common
stock, representing approximately 96.5%, of our outstanding shares of common stock, from Algodon Wines & Luxury Development
Group, Inc. (“Algodon”) on January 20, 2017, for a total purchase price of $260,000 pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
dated December 20, 2016, as amended. Algodon also assigned to China Concentric all its right, title and interest to amounts payable
to Algodon for non-interest bearing advances to the Company, which advances, as of January 20, 2017 were in the aggregate amount
of $150,087, and such any additional advances made to the Company up until the closing date as set forth in the Stock Purchase
Agreement.
Mr.
Lin has indicated that he purchased a controlling interest in the Company with the intention of acquiring an operating business
in a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange. There can be no assurance that an acquisition of any particular
business will be consummated.
On
February 2, 2017, in conjunction with the closing of the sale to Mr. Lin, the Company’s then Board of Directors elected
Mr. Lin as a director, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective upon the closing,
and Ethan Chuang, who had served as President of the Company since January 20, 2017, as Vice President of the Company. Mr. Chuang,
who was elected to Board on January 20, 2017, continues to serve as a director of the Company.

Approval
of an Agreement and Plan of Merger
Between
our Company and our Newly-Organized Wholly-Owned Nevada Subsidiary
as
a Result of which our Company will Become a Nevada Corporation Named
AiXin
Life International, Inc. (the “Reincorporation Merger”)
We
have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Mercari would be merged
with and into its newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary, AiXin Life International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“AiXin Life”
or “AiXin Life”), as a result of which our state of incorporation will be changed from Colorado to Nevada (the “Reincorporation
Merger”). The Merger Agreement and the Reincorporation Merger was approved by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting
of our Board of Directors signed on the Record Date and by written consent in lieu of a meeting of shareholders owning in the
aggregate 96.50% of our outstanding voting shares as of the Record Date signed on the Record Date (the “Stockholder Consent”).
A copy of the Merger Agreement is annexed as Appendix A to this Information Statement.
Reason
for the Reincorporation Merger
Our
Board of Directors believes that a change in our state of incorporation from Colorado to Nevada will meet our business needs and
that the Colorado Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) does not offer corporate law advantages comparable to those provided
by the laws of the State of Nevada. Reincorporation from Colorado to Nevada also may make it easier to attract future candidates
willing to serve on our board of directors.
The
Reincorporation Merger is not being effected to prevent a change in control, nor is it in response to any present attempt known
to our Board of Directors to acquire control of the Company or obtain representation on our Board. Nevertheless, certain effects
of the proposed reincorporation may be considered to have anti-takeover implications simply by virtue of being subject to Nevada
law. For example, in responding to an unsolicited bidder, the Nevada Revised Statutes authorizes directors to consider not only
the interests of stockholders, but also the interests of employees, suppliers, creditors, customers, the economy of the state
and nation, the interests of the community and society in general, and the long-term as well as short-term interests of the corporation
and its stockholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation.
For a discussion of these and other differences between the laws of Colorado and Nevada, see “Significant Differences between
Colorado and Nevada Law,” below.
Consequences
of the Reincorporation Merger
The
Reincorporation Merger will effect a change in the legal domicile of the Company from Colorado to Nevada, a change in the name
of the Company to AiXin Life International, Inc. and other changes of a legal nature, the most significant of which are described
below under the heading “Significant Differences between Colorado and Nevada Law.” However, the Reincorporation Merger
will not result in any change in headquarters, business, management, location of our offices, assets, liabilities or net worth,
other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation Merger. Our management, including all directors and officers,
will remain the same in connection with the Reincorporation Merger and will assume identical positions with AiXin Life. There
will be no employment agreements for executive officers or other direct or indirect interest of the current directors or executive
officers of the Company in the Reincorporation Merger as a result of the reincorporation. Upon the effective time of the Reincorporation
Merger, your shares of Mercari common stock will be converted into an equal number of shares of common stock of AiXin Life.
The
authorized capital stock of Mercari consists of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 950,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The authorized capital stock of AiXin Life will consist of 1,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Holders of
AiXin Life common stock will be entitled to equal voting rights, consisting of one vote per share on all matters submitted to
a stockholder vote. Holders of AiXin Life common stock will not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority
of the shares of AiXin Life common stock voting for the election of directors will be able to elect all of the directors. The
presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of AiXin Life stock entitled to vote will
be required to constitute a quorum at any meeting of AiXin Life stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of AiXin Life’s
outstanding shares will be required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment
to our articles of incorporation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, either voluntarily or
involuntarily, each outstanding share of AiXin Life common stock will be entitled to share equally in the assets of AiXin Life.
Holders
of AiXin Life common stock will not have pre-emptive rights or conversion rights and there will be no redemption provisions applicable
to AiXin Life common stock. Holders of AiXin Life common stock will be entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by AiXin
Life’s board, out of funds legally available therefor.
The
articles of incorporation of AiXin Life, like the articles of incorporation of Mercari, gives the Board of Directors the power
to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. The board of directors has the discretion
to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights,
redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. The purpose of authorizing the board of
directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder
vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible
acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or
could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. AiXin Life has no
present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Operating
as a Nevada corporation will not interfere with, or differ substantially from, our present corporate activities. As a Nevada corporation,
we will be governed by Nevada corporate law, while the Company is presently governed by Colorado law. Nevada law may constitute
a comprehensive, flexible legal structure under which to operate. However, because of differences in the laws of these states,
your rights as shareholders will change in several material respects as a result of the reincorporation. These matters are discussed
in greater detail immediately below.
Potential
Disadvantages of Reincorporation
Although
our Board of Directors believes that the proposed reincorporation is in the best interests of both our company and our shareholders,
it should be noted that many of the provisions of Nevada law have not yet received extensive scrutiny and interpretation. However,
the Board of Directors believe that Nevada law will provide the Company with the comprehensive flexible structure which it needs
to operate effectively.
Significant
Differences between Colorado and Nevada Law
The
rights of Mercari’s shareholders and Mercari’s articles of incorporation and bylaws are currently governed by Colorado
law. The reincorporation shall be effectuated through a merger of Mercari with and into AiXin Life, its wholly owned subsidiary,
a Nevada corporation, with AiXin Life as the surviving corporation. AiXin Life, as the surviving corporation, will file articles
of merger with the Office of the Secretary of State of Nevada and will file a statement of merger with the Office of the Secretary
of State of the State of Colorado. Accordingly, after the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger, your rights as a stockholder
will be governed by Nevada law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of AiXin Life. The statutory corporate laws of the
State of Nevada, as governed by Chapters 78 and 92A (concerning Mergers) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), are
similar in many respects to those of Colorado, as governed by the Colorado Business Corporation Act (“CBCA”). However,
there are certain differences that may affect your rights as a shareholder, as well as the corporate governance of the corporation.
The following are summaries of material differences between the current rights of shareholders of Mercari and the rights of shareholders
of AiXin Life following the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger.
The
following discussion is a summary. It does not give you a complete description of the differences that may affect you. You should
also refer to Chapters 78 (concerning Corporations, generally) and 92A (concerning Mergers) of the NRS, as well as the forms of
the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of AiXin Life, which are attached as Appendices B and C, respectively, to this Information
Statement, and which will come into effect concurrently with the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger.
Removal
of Directors
.
Under Colorado law, the holders of a majority of shares then entitled to vote in an election of directors
may remove a director with or without cause, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation provide that directors may
be removed only for cause. Under Nevada law, any one or all of the directors of a corporation may be removed by the holders of
not less than two-thirds of the voting power of a corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. Nevada does not distinguish
between removal of directors with or without cause.
Fiduciary
Duty and Business Judgment
. Colorado and Nevada, like most jurisdictions, require that directors and officers of a corporation
exercise their powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation. As a matter of law, directors and officers
are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis, and with a view to the interests of the corporation in making business
decisions. In performing such duties, directors and officers may exercise their business judgment through reliance on information,
opinions, reports, financial statements, and other financial data prepared or presented by corporate directors, officers, or employees
who are reasonably believed to be reliable and competent. Professional reliance may also be extended to legal counsel, public
accountants, advisers, bankers, or other persons as to matters the member reasonably believes are within such other person’s
professional or expert competence. However, directors and officers may not rely on such information, opinions, reports, books
of account, or similar statements if they have knowledge concerning the matter in question that would make such reliance unwarranted.
Under
Colorado law, a director or officer of a corporation, in the performance of duties in that capacity, shall not have any fiduciary
duty to any creditor of the corporation arising only from the status as a creditor. Under Nevada law, except as otherwise provided
in a corporation’s articles of incorporation or specified sections of the NRS, a director or officer or a corporation is
not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure
to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (a) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of
his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (b) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a
knowing violation of law.
Flexibility
for Decisions, including Takeovers
. Nevada provides directors with more discretion than Colorado in making corporate decisions,
including decisions made in takeover situations. In Nevada, director and officer actions taken in response to a change or potential
change in control that do not disenfranchise stockholders are granted the benefits of the business judgment rule. However, in
the case of an action that impedes the rights of stockholders to vote for or remove directors, directors will only be given the
advantages of the business judgment rule if the directors have reasonable grounds to believe a threat to corporate policy and
effectiveness exists and the action taken that impedes the exercise of the stockholders’ rights is reasonable in relation
to such threat. In exercising their powers in response to a change or potential change of control, directors and officers of Nevada
corporations may consider the effect of the decision on several corporate constituencies in addition to the stockholders, including
the corporation’s employees, the interests of the community, and the economy.
Colorado
does not provide a similar list of statutory factors that corporate directors and officers may consider in making decisions. Thus,
the flexibility granted to directors of Nevada corporations in the context of a hostile takeover are greater than those granted
to directors of Colorado corporations.
Limitation
on Personal Liability of Directors
.
Under Colorado law, if so provided in the articles of incorporation, a director
is not personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person, except that liability is not eliminated
or limited for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, acts or omissions not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful distributions, or any act which
the director, directly or indirectly, derived an improper personal benefit. The Mercari articles of incorporation includes such
an exculpatory provision.
Under
Nevada law it is not necessary to adopt provisions in the articles of incorporation limiting personal liability as this limitation
is provided by statute, unless the articles of incorporation limits the scope of the statutory protections. However, the Nevada
provision differs from the Colorado provision in three respects. First, the Nevada provision applies to both directors and officers.
Second, while the Colorado provision excepts from the limitation on liability a breach of the duty of loyalty, the Nevada counterpart
does not contain this exception. Third, Nevada law with respect to the elimination of liability for directors and officers expressly
applies to liabilities owed to creditors of the corporation. Thus, the Nevada provision expressly permits a corporation to limit
the liability of officers, as well as directors, and permits limitation of liability arising from a breach of the duty of loyalty
and from obligations to the corporation’s creditors. The articles of incorporation of AiXin Life include an exculpatory
provision which provides directors and officers with this heightened level of protection against personal liability.
Indemnification
of Officers and Directors and Advancement of Expenses
.
Colorado and Nevada law have substantially similar provisions
regarding indemnification by a corporation of its officers, directors, employees and agents. Under Colorado and Nevada law, a
corporation may generally indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys’
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of any proceedings (other than derivative actions), if they acted in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable
in derivative actions, except that indemnification may be made only for (a) expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and certain
amounts paid in settlement, and (b) in the event the person seeking indemnification has been adjudicated liable, amounts deemed
proper, fair and reasonable by the appropriate court upon application thereto. The CBCA and the NRS each provide that to the extent
that such persons have been successful in defense of any proceeding, they must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
Action
by Written Consent of Directors
.
Both Colorado and Nevada law provide that, unless the articles of incorporation
or the bylaws provide otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the directors or a committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing.
Actions
by Written Consent of Stockholders
.
Under Colorado law, shareholder action without a meeting may only be taken
by written consent signed by the holders of all of the outstanding shares, unless the articles of incorporation provide that shareholder
action may be taken without a meeting by shareholders holding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would
be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted consent to such action in writing. Under Nevada law, unless prohibited by the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the
corporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if the
holders of outstanding stock having at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action
at a meeting of stockholders consent to the action in writing. The articles of incorporation of Mercari permit shareholder action
by written consent. The articles of incorporation of AiXin Life do not include a restriction on shareholder action by written
consent and the by-laws of AiXin Life authorize shareholder action by written consent.
Dividends
and Other Distributions
.
Under Colorado and Nevada law, a corporation may make distributions to shareholders (subject
to any restrictions contained in the corporation’s articles of incorporation) as long as, after giving effect to the distribution,
(a) the corporation will be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, and (b) the corporation’s
total assets will not be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus (unless the articles of incorporation permits otherwise)
the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential
rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.
Restrictions
on Business Combinations
.
Nevada law contains provisions restricting the ability of a corporation to engage in
business combinations with an interested stockholder. Nevada law defines an interested stockholder as a beneficial owner (directly
or indirectly) of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation. In addition, combinations with
an interested stockholder remain prohibited for three years after the person became an interested stockholder unless (i) the transaction
is approved by the board of directors or the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares not beneficially owned by the interested
party, or (ii) the interested stockholder satisfies certain fair value requirements. A Nevada corporation may opt-out of the statute
with appropriate provisions in its articles of incorporation. The articles of incorporation of AiXin Life do not include a provision
by which AiXin Life elects to opt out of these provisions. Colorado law does not have similar restrictions.
Stockholder
Vote for Mergers and Other Corporate Reorganizations
.
Colorado law requires authorization by an absolute majority
of outstanding shares entitled to vote, as well as approval by the board of directors, with respect to the terms of a merger or
a sale of substantially all of the assets of the corporation. Under Nevada law, Board approval and authorization of stockholders
by an absolute majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote is required for a merger or sale of all of the assets of a corporation.
However it is not entirely clear under Nevada law if stockholder authorization is required for the sale of less than all of the
assets of a corporation.
Dissenters’
Rights
. In both Colorado and Nevada, dissenting shareholders of a corporation engaged in certain major corporate transactions
are entitled to appraisal rights. Appraisal rights permit a shareholder to receive cash equal to the fair market value of the
shareholder’s shares (as determined by agreement of the parties or by a court) in lieu of the consideration such shareholder
would otherwise receive in any such transaction.
Under
Colorado law, appraisal rights are generally available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a Colorado corporation
in a merger or consolidation, provided that no appraisal rights are available for the shares of any class or series of stock that,
at the record date for the meeting held to approve such transaction, were either (1) listed on a national securities exchange
or (2) held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders. Even if the shares of any class or series of stock meet the requirements
of subsections (1) or (2) above, appraisal rights are available for such class or series if the holders thereof receive in the
merger or consolidation anything except cash, shares of stock of the issuing corporation or shares of stock of a corporation that
is either listed on a national securities exchange or whose stock is held of record by more than 2,000 holders, or a combination
thereof. Colorado allows beneficial owners of shares to file a petition for appraisal without the need to name a nominee as a
nominal plaintiff.
Under
Nevada law, a stockholder is entitled to dissent from, and obtain payment for the fair value of his or her shares in the event
of (i) certain acquisitions of a controlling interest in the corporation, (ii) consummation of a plan of merger, if approval by
the stockholders is required and the stockholder is entitled to vote on the merger or if the domestic corporation is a subsidiary
and is merged with its parent, (iii) a plan of exchange in which the corporation is a party, or (iv) any corporate action taken
pursuant to a vote of the stockholders, if the articles of incorporation, bylaws or a resolution of the board of directors provides
that voting or nonvoting stockholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for their shares. Holders of securities listed
on a national securities exchange or held by at least 2,000 stockholders of record are generally not entitled to dissenters’
rights. This exception is not, however, available if the articles of incorporation of the corporation issuing the shares state
that it is not available, or if the holders of the class or series are required under the plan of merger or exchange to accept
for the shares anything except cash, shares of stock as described in Nev. Rev. Stat. § 92A.390(b), or a combination thereof.
Nevada law prohibits a dissenting shareholder from voting his shares or receiving certain dividends or distributions after his
dissent.
Special
Meetings of the Stockholders
.
Colorado law permits special meetings of stockholders to be called by the board of
directors or by any other person authorized in the bylaws or in a resolution of the Board to call a special stockholder meeting.
In addition, a special meeting may be called by holders of shares representing at least ten percent of all the votes entitled
to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting. Nevada law permits special meetings of stockholders to be called
by the entire board of directors, any two directors, or the President, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide
otherwise
.
Under the by-laws of Mercari and AiXin Life, a special meeting of stockholders may be called upon the request
of holders representing not less than ten percent of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue that may be properly proposed
to be considered at such a special meeting.
Special
Meetings Pursuant to Petition of Stockholders
.
Colorado law provides that a shareholder of a corporation may apply
to the district court in which the principal address of the corporation within the State of Colorado is located, if the corporation
does not have a principal office located within the State of Colorado, the district court in the county in which the registered
agent of the corporation is located, if the corporation fails to hold an annual meeting for the election of directors within the
earlier of six months after the close of the corporation’s most recently ended fiscal year or fifteen months after its last
annual meeting. Nevada law is more restrictive. Under Nevada law, stockholders having not less than 15% of the voting interest
may petition the district court to order a meeting for the election of directors if a corporation fails to call a meeting for
that purpose within 18 months after the last meeting at which directors were elected. The reincorporation may make it more difficult
for our stockholders to require that an annual meeting be held without the consent of the Board.
Duration
of Proxies
.
Under Colorado law, a proxy executed by a stockholder will remain valid for a period of eleven months,
unless the proxy provides for a different period. Under Nevada law, a proxy is effective only for a period of six months, unless
it is coupled with an interest or unless otherwise provided in the proxy, which duration may not exceed seven years. Nevada law
also provides for irrevocable proxies, without limitation on duration, in limited circumstances.
Shareholders’
List.
Under Colorado law, a corporation is required to make available for inspection by any shareholder or such shareholder’s
agent in connection with any meeting of shareholders, a list of shareholders and the number of shares owned by each shareholder
beginning the earlier of ten days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or two business days after notice of the
meeting is given and continuing through the meeting, and any adjournment thereof, at the corporation’s principal office
or at a place identified in the notice of the meeting in the city in which the meeting will be held. There is no similar requirement
under Nevada law.
Increasing
or Decreasing Authorized Shares
.
Nevada law allows the board of directors of a corporation, unless restricted by
the articles of incorporation, to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in a class or series of the corporation’s
shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of any class or series of the corporation’s shares without
a vote of the stockholders, so long as the action taken does not change or alter any right or preference of the stockholder and
does not include any provision or provisions pursuant to which only money will be paid or script issued to stockholders who hold
10% or more of the outstanding shares of the affected class and series, and who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractions
of shares in exchange for the cancellation of all of their outstanding shares. Colorado law does not contain a similar provision.
Stockholder
Inspection Rights
.
Under Colorado law, a shareholder is entitled to inspect and copy, during regular business hours at
the corporation’s principal office, the articles of incorporation, bylaws, certain board and stockholders resolutions, all
written communications to stockholders within the prior three years, a list of the names and business addresses of the corporation’s
directors and officers, the corporation’s most recent annual report and all financial statements prepared for the periods
ended during the last three years that a shareholder could have requested the same, only if the stockholder gives at least five
business days’ prior written notice to the corporation, provided (i) the shareholder has been a shareholder for at least
three months immediately preceding the demand to inspect or copy or is a shareholder of at least five percent of all of the outstanding
shares of any class of shares of the corporation as of the date the demand is made; (ii) the demand is made in good faith and
for a proper purpose; (iii) the shareholder describes with reasonable particularity the purpose and the records the shareholder
desires to inspect; and (iv) the records are directly connected with the described purpose. Under Nevada law, certain stockholders
have the right to inspect the books of account and records of a corporation for any proper purpose. The right to inspect the books
of account and all financial records of a corporation, to make copies of records and to conduct an audit of such records is granted
only to a stockholder who owns at least 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of a Nevada corporation, or who has been authorized
in writing by the holders of at least 15% of such shares. A Nevada corporation may require a stockholder to furnish the corporation
with an affidavit that such inspection is for a proper purpose related to his or her interest as a stockholder of the corporation.
AiXin
Life International, Inc. (Nevada)
AiXin
Life International, Inc., or AiXin Life, our wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised
Statutes on June __, 2017 for the purpose of merging with Mercari. The address and phone number of AiXin Life’s principal
office are the same as those of Mercari. Prior to the reincorporation merger, AiXin Life will have no material assets or liabilities
and will not have carried on any business.
Upon
completion of the Reincorporation Merger, the rights of the shareholders of AiXin Life will be governed by Chapters 78 and 92A
(concerning Mergers) of the NRS and the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of AiXin Life (the “Nevada Articles of
Incorporation” and the “Nevada Bylaws,” respectively). The Nevada Articles of Incorporation and the Nevada Bylaws
are attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendices B and C, respectively. Except as described above under the caption “Significant
Differences between Colorado and Nevada Law,
”
the rights of shareholders under the Nevada Articles of Incorporation
and the Nevada Bylaws are substantially the same as under Mercari’s Articles of Incorporation and By-laws.
The
Merger Agreement
The
Merger Agreement provides that we will merge with and into AiXin Life, with AiXin Life being the surviving corporation. Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, AiXin Life will assume all assets and liabilities of the Company, including obligations under our outstanding
indebtedness and contracts. Our existing board of directors and officers will become the board of directors and officers of AiXin
Life for identical terms of office.
At
the effective time of the Reincorporation Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, automatically will be converted into
one share of common stock, par value $0.001, of AiXin Life (“Nevada common stock”). You will not have to exchange
your existing stock certificates of Mercari for stock certificates of AiXin Life. However, after consummation of the Reincorporation
Merger, any shareholder desiring a new form of stock certificate (at their option and at their expense) may submit the existing
stock certificate to AiXin Life’s transfer agent for cancellation, and obtain a new Nevada form of certificate.
The
Merger Agreement and the Reincorporation Merger was approved by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting of our Board of
Directors signed on the Record Date and by written consent in lieu of a meeting of shareholders owning in the aggregate 96.50%
of Mercari’s outstanding voting shares as of the Record Date signed on the Record Date, 2017, and by the board of directors
of AiXin Life and by our company, as the sole stockholder of AiXin Life.
The
Merger Agreement may be terminated and abandoned by action of the Board of Directors of Mercari at any time prior to the effective
time of the Reincorporation Merger, if the Board of Directors of Mercari determines for any reason, in its sole judgment and discretion,
that the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger would be inadvisable or not in the best interests of Mercari and its shareholders.
Certain
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation.
Mercari
intends the reincorporation to be a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Assuming the
Reincorporation Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization, the holders of Mercari common stock will not recognize any gain
or loss under the Federal tax laws as a result of the consummation of the Reincorporation Merger, and neither will Mercari nor
AiXin Life. Each shareholder will have the same basis in AiXin Life’s common stock received as a result of the reincorporation
as that holder has in the common stock of Mercari held at the time the Reincorporation Merger is consummated. Each holder’s
holding period in AiXin Life’s common stock received as a result of the Reincorporation Merger will include the period during
which such holder held the common stock of Mercari at the time the Reincorporation Merger is consummated, provided the latter
was held by such holder as a capital asset at the time of consummation of the Reincorporation Merger.
This
Information Statement only discusses U.S. federal income tax consequences and has done so only for general information. It does
not address all of the federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders based upon individual circumstances
or to stockholders who are subject to special rules, such as, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies,
dealers in securities, foreign holders or holders who acquired their shares as compensation, whether through employee stock options
or otherwise. This Information Statement does not address the tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.
This
discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in effect as of the date of this Information
Statement, all of which are subject to differing interpretations and change, possibly with retroactive effect. The Company has
neither requested nor received a tax opinion from legal counsel or rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the consequences
of reincorporation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions
would not alter the consequences discussed above.
You
should consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you of the reincorporation, including the
applicability and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
Effective
Time
It
is anticipated that the Reincorporation Merger, and consequently the reincorporation, will become effective at the time set forth
in each of the Articles of Merger to be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of Nevada in accordance with Section 200
of Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the filing of a Statement of Merger with the Office of the Secretary of State
of Colorado in accordance with Part 3 of Article 90 of the CBCA, a statement of merger pursuant to Section 7-90-203.7. Under SEC
regulations applicable to actions taken by stockholder consent requiring the distribution of an Information Statement to Shareholders,
the Reincorporation Merger cannot be effected until 20 days after the distribution of this Information Statement to shareholders
of Mercari.
Securities
Act Consequences
The
shares of AiXin Life common stock to be issued in exchange for shares of Mercari common stock are not being registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In that respect, AiXin Life is relying on Rule 145(a)(2)
under the Securities Act, which provides that a merger which has as its sole purpose a change in the domicile of the corporation
does not involve the sale of the securities for purposes of the Securities Act. After the Merger, AiXin Life will be a publicly
held company, and it will file with the SEC and provide to its stockholders the same type of information that we have previously
filed and provided. Stockholders whose shares of Mercari Common Stock are freely tradable before the Reincorporation Merger will
continue to have freely tradable shares of the common stock of AiXin Life. Stockholders holding restricted shares of common stock
of AiXin Life will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer as those to which their present shares of Mercari common stock
are subject. In summary, AiXin Life and its stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities
laws after the Reincorporation Merger as they were in Mercari and its shareholders prior to the Reincorporation Merger.
No
Exchange of Stock Certificates Required
Shareholders
are not required to exchange their stock certificates for new certificates representing shares of AiXin Life common stock. New
stock certificates representing shares of AiXin Life common stock will not be issued to a stockholder until such shareholder submits
one or more existing certificates for transfer, whether pursuant to sale or other disposition. However, shareholders (at their
option and at their expense) may exchange their stock certificates for new certificates representing shares of AiXin Life common
stock following the Effective Time of the Reincorporation Merger.
Accounting
Treatment of the Reincorporation Merger
The
Reincorporation Merger will be accounted for as a reverse merger whereby, for accounting purposes, Mercari will be considered
the accounting acquiror and AiXin Life will be treated as the successor to the historical operations of Mercari. Accordingly,
the historical financial statements of Mercari, which previously have been reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, among others, as of and for all periods through the date of this information statement, will be treated
as the financial statements of AiXin Life.
Appraisal
and Dissenters’ Rights
Under
applicable Colorado law concerning dissenting shareholder appraisal rights, Mercari shareholders who do not consent to the Merger
Agreement and the Reincorporation Merger may, under certain conditions, become entitled to be paid cash for the fair market value
of their Mercari common stock in lieu of receiving shares of AiXin Life common stock in accordance with the terms of the Merger
Agreement.
Summarized
below are the dissenters’ rights of the holders of Mercari common stock and the statutory procedures required to be followed
in order to perfect such rights. A copy of Article 113 of the CBCA, which governs dissenters’ rights under the CBCA, is
attached to this Information Statement as
Appendix D
. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to Article 113 of the CBCA, and such Article should be reviewed carefully by holders of Mercari common stock. Failure to comply
strictly with all conditions for asserting rights as a dissenting stockholder, including the time limits, will result in loss
of such dissenters’ rights by the dissenting stockholder.
The
Merger Agreement provides that shares of Mercari common stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the
Merger and have not been voted in favor of, or consented to, the Merger will not be entitled to receive shares of AiXin Life common
stock if the holder of the shares validly exercises and perfects statutory appraisal rights with respect to the shares. However,
the shares will be automatically converted into the right to receive shares of AiXin Life common stock on the same basis that
all other shares of Mercari capital stock are converted in the Merger when and if the holder of those shares withdraws his, her
or its demand for appraisal or otherwise becomes legally ineligible to exercise appraisal rights.
Any
shareholder who wishes to exercise dissenter’s appraisal rights under Article 113 of the CBCA or who wishes to preserve
his, her or its right to do so should review
Appendix D
carefully. Failure to comply with the procedures set forth therein
will result in the loss of such rights.
Under
Article 113 of the CBCA, you must follow the procedures set forth in Section 7-113-204 to receive a cash payment of the fair value
of those shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with
interest, at the rate specified in Section 7-113-101. You should be aware that the fair value of your shares of Mercari common
stock as determined by Section 7-113-206 could be more than, the same as or less than the shares of AiXin Life common stock you
would have received in the Merger if you did not seek appraisal of your shares.
A
holder of Mercari common stock who wishes to assert dissenters’ rights under Article 113 of the CBCA must (i) cause us to
receive written notice of the holder’s intention to demand a cash payment for the holder’s shares of Mercari common
stock if the merger is effectuated; and (ii) not vote the shares of Mercari common stock in favor of the merger. A holder of Mercari
common stock failing to satisfy these requirements will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights under Article 113.
We
must give a written dissenters’ notice to all Mercari shareholders who are entitled to demand a cash payment for their shares
under Article 113 (the “Dissenters’ Notice”) within ten days after the merger is effected. The Dissenters’
Notice must: (i) state that the merger was authorized and state the effective date or the proposed effective date of the merger;
(ii) state an address at which it will receive cash payment demands and the address of a place where certificates for certificated
shares must be deposited; (iii) supply a form for demanding a cash payment, which form shall request a dissenter to state an address
to which a cash payment is to be made (the “Demand Notice”); (iv) set the date by which it must receive a cash payment
demand and certificates for uncertificated shares, which date may not be less than 30 days after the date that the Dissenters’
Notice is given; (v) state the requirement regarding the dissent by record holders with respect to shares held by beneficial owners,
as permitted by Section 7-113-103(3) of the CBCA; and (vi) be accompanied by a copy of Article 113.
THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT
WILL CONSTITUTE NOTICE TO THE HOLDERS OF MERCARI COMMON STOCK IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 7-113-203 OF THE CBCA.
It
is anticipated that the Merger will be effected on the 21st day after this Information Statement is distributed to Mercari shareholders.
A
shareholder who wishes to obtain a cash payment for his or her shares of Mercari common stock must demand a cash payment by submitting
A Demand Notice, or by stating such demand in another writing, and depositing the shareholder’s certificate(s) for certificated
shares.
A COPY OF THE FORM OF DEMAND NOTICE IS ANNEXED TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT AS APPENDIX E. DEMAND NOTICES, TOGETHER
WITH CERTIFICATES EVIDENCING THE SHARES OF MERCARI COMMON STOCK OWNED BY SUCH DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS, MUST BE SENT OR DELIVERED
TO MERCARI COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, LTD., C/O EATON & VAN WINKLE LLP, 3 PARK AVENUE, 16
TH
FLOOR, NEW YORK, NY 10016,
ATTENTION: VINCENT MCGILL, ESQ. BY NOT LATER THAN AUGUST __, 2017.
We
may restrict the transfer of any shares not represented by a certificate from the date the demand for cash payment is received.
The shareholder demanding a cash payment in accordance with Section 7-113-204 shall retain all rights of a shareholder, except
the right to transfer shares, until the effective date of the merger. A shareholder who does not provide demand for a cash payment
by the dates set forth in the Dissenter’s Notice and in accordance with Section 7-113-204 will not be entitled to a cash
payment for his, her or its shares of Mercari common stock as provided in the CBCA.
Pursuant
to Sections 7-113-206 and 207 of the CBCA, upon the effective date of the merger or upon receipt of a cash payment demand, whichever
is later, we must pay each dissenter who complied with Section 7-113-204 the amount of cash that we estimate to be the fair market
value of the shares, plus accrued interest. The cash payment must be accompanied by (i) certain financial information regarding
us; (ii) a statement of our estimate of the fair value of the shares; (iii) an explanation of how the interest was calculated;
(iv) a statement of the dissenter’s right to demand a cash payment under Section 7-113-209; and (v) a copy of Section 7-113-206
of the CBCA.
Section
7-113-208 of the CBCA permits us to require each shareholder to certify in writing, or in the dissenter’s cash payment demand,
whether or not the dissenter acquired beneficial ownership of his, her or its shares of Mercari common stock before the date of
the first announcement to the news media or to the shareholders, such date to be set forth in the dissenters’ notice. If
any dissenter does not so certify in writing, we may offer to make a cash payment if the dissenter agrees to accept such payment
in full satisfaction of the demand for a cash payment.
A
dissenter may give written notice to us, within 30 days after we make or offer a cash payment for the dissenter’s shares
of our common stock, of the dissenter’s estimate of the fair value of such shares and of the amount of interest due and
may demand cash payment of such estimate, or reject our offer under Section 7-113-208 and demand a cash payment of the fair value
of the shares and interest due if: (i) the dissenter believes that the amount of cash paid pursuant to Section 7-113-206 or offered
pursuant to Section 7-113-208 is less than the full value of his, her or its shares of Mercari common stock or that the interest
due was incorrectly calculated; (ii) we fail to make a cash payment as required under Section 7-113-206 within the time specified
above; or (iii) we do not return the deposited certificates as required by Section 7-113-207. Dissenters who do not give the required
notice waive the right to demand a cash payment under Section 7-113-209.
If
a demand for a cash payment under Section 7-113-209 remains unresolved, we may, within 60 days after receiving the cash payment
demand, petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares of Mercari common stock and accrued interest. All dissenters
whose demands remain unsettled would be made a party to such a proceeding. Each dissenter is entitled to judgment for the amount
the court finds to be the fair value of the shares of Mercari common stock, plus interest, less any amount paid by us. The costs
associated with this proceeding shall be assessed against us, unless the court finds that all or some of the dissenters acted
arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding cash payment under Section 7-113-209, in which case the court may
assess the costs in the amount the court finds equitable against some or all of the dissenters. The court may also assess the
fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties in amounts the court finds equitable, against us or the dissenters.
If we do not commence a proceeding within the 60-day period, we must pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount
of cash demanded.

Statement
The
Company, whose shares of common stock are registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), desires to reincorporate as a Nevada corporation. The Company has formed AiXin Life in order to effect the reincorporation.
The
board of directors of each of the Company and AiXin Life deems it advisable and in the best interests of such corporations and
their respective stockholders, that the Company be merged with and into AiXin Life, upon the terms and subject to the conditions

EFFECT
OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK
4.1.
Effect of Merger on Capital Stock.
At the Effective Time, as a result of the Reincorporation Merger and without any action
on the part of the Company, AiXin Life or the stockholders of the Company:
(a)
Each share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001, other than shares (“
Dissenting Shares
”) that
are owned by shareholders (“
Dissenting Stockholders
”) exercising dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section
7-113-102 of the CBCA outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted (without the surrender of stock
certificates or any other action) into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001, of AiXin Life
(“
Nevada common stock
”), with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and all shares
of common stock of the Company shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist.
(b)
Each option, warrant, or other security of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
(i) converted into and shall be an identical security of AiXin Life, and (ii) in the case of securities to acquire common stock,
converted into the right to acquire the number of shares of Nevada common stock equal to the number of shares of Colorado common
stock that were acquirable pursuant to such option, warrant, or other security at the Effective Date. The same number of shares
of Nevada common stock shall be reserved for purposes of the exercise of such options, warrants, or other securities as is equal
to the number of shares of the common stock so reserved as of the Effective Time.
(c)
Each share of Nevada common stock owned by the Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall
cease to exist.
4.2.
Certificates.
At and after the Effective Time, all of the outstanding certificates which immediately prior thereto represented
shares of Colorado common stock (other than Dissenting Shares), or options, warrants, or other securities of the Company shall
be deemed for all purposes to evidence ownership of and to represent a number of shares of Nevada common stock equal to the number
of shares of Colorado common stock represented thereby or that were acquirable pursuant to such options, warrants, or other securities
of AiXin Life, as the case may be, into which the shares of common stock, options, warrants, or other securities of the Company
represented by such certificates have been converted as herein provided and shall be so registered on the books and records of
the Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent. The registered owner of any such outstanding certificate shall, until such certificate
shall have been surrendered for transfer or otherwise accounted for to the Surviving Corporation or its transfer agent, have and
be entitled to exercise any voting and other rights with respect to, and to receive any dividends and other distributions upon,
the shares of Colorado common stock, options, warrants, or other securities of AiXin Life, as the case may be, evidenced by such
outstanding certificate, as above provided.
4.3
Dissenters’ Rights.
No Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to shares of Nevada common stock under this Article

(the “Board of Directors”) is hereby authorized to fix by resolution or resolutions the classes, series, and number
of each class or series of stock as provided in Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 78.195, 78.1955, and 78.196, as well

Board of Directors:
The
Board of Directors shall initially consist of two members and thereafter shall consist of the number of directors that, from time
to time shall be fixed by, or in the manner provided in the bylaws of the corporation. The names and addresses of the individuals
who are to serve as the initial Board of Directors of the corporation until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until
their successors are duly elected and qualified are set forth in Article 4 of these Articles of Incorporation.
Elections
of directors need not be done by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the corporation shall otherwise provide.
Each
director shall serve until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal; and no decrease
in the authorized number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
Newly
created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, or any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting
from death, resignation, removal or other causes, shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director elected in accordance with the
preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship
was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified or until such
director’s death, resignation or removal, whichever first occurs.
In
addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered
to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the corporation, subject, nevertheless,
to the provisions of the NRS, these Articles of Incorporation, and any Bylaws.
9.
Limitation on Liability:
Unless
otherwise provided by law, a director or officer is not individually liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or creditors
for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his individual capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven
that his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer and his breach of those duties
involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law. If the NRS is amended to further eliminate or limit or
authorize corporate action to further eliminate or limit the liability of directors or officers, the liability of directors and
officers of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS as so amended from time
to time. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VI, nor the adoption of any provision of these Articles of Incorporation
inconsistent with this Article VI, shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability
of a director or officer of the corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or adoption of such an inconsistent
provision.
10.
Indemnification:
Every
person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by the reason of the fact that he or she, or a person with whom he or she is
a legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or who is serving at the request of the Corporation
as a director or officer of another corporation, or is a representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time
to time against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be
paid in a settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her in connection therewith. The right of indemnification shall
be a contract right which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of officers and directors incurred
in defending a civil suit or proceeding must be paid by the Corporation as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of
the action, suit, or proceeding, under receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount
if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.
Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right of such directors, officers or representatives may have
or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights
of indemnification under any bylaw agreement, vote of stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their rights under
this article.
Without
limiting the application of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification,
to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the corporation
to purchase or maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or who is serving
at the request of the corporation as an officer, director or representative of any other entity or other enterprise against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the corporation
would have the power to indemnify such person.
Any
repeal or modification of the above provisions of this Article VII, approved by the stockholders of the corporation shall be prospective
only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of a director or officer of the corporation existing as of
the time of such repeal or modification. In the event of any conflict between the above indemnification provisions, and any other
Article of the Articles, the terms and provisions of this Article VII shall control.
11.
Contracts or Other Transactions with Interested Persons:
No
contract or other transaction of the corporation with any other person, firm or corporation, or in which this corporation is interested,
shall be affected or invalidated by: (i) the fact that any one or more of the directors or officers of the corporation is interested
in or is a director or officer of such other firm or corporation; or, (ii) the fact that any director or officer of the corporation,
individually or jointly with others, may be a party to or may be interested in any such contract or transaction, so long as the
contract or transaction is authorized, approved or ratified at a meeting of the Board of Directors by sufficient vote thereon
by directors not interested therein, to which such fact of relationship or interest has been disclosed, or the contract or transaction
has been approved or ratified by vote or written consent of the stockholders entitled to vote, to whom such fact of relationship
or interest has been disclosed, or so long as the contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to the corporation. Each person
who may become a director or officer of the corporation is hereby relieved from any liability that might otherwise arise by reason
of his contracting with the corporation for the benefit of himself or any firm or corporation in which he may in any way be interested.
12.
Adoption and Amendment of By-Laws:
The
bylaws of the Corporation shall be adopted by the Board of Directors. The power to alter, amend, or repeal the bylaws or adopt
new bylaws shall be vested in the board of directors, but the stockholders of the Corporation may also alter, amend, or repeal
the bylaws or adopt new bylaws. The bylaws may contain any provisions for the regulation or management of the affairs of the Corporation
not inconsistent with the laws of the state of Nevada now or hereafter existing.
13.
Amendments:
The
Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change, or repeal all or any portion of the provisions contained in these articles
of incorporation from time to time in accordance with the laws of the state of Nevada, and all rights conferred on stockholders
herein are granted subject to this reservation.

Prior to any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may, and shall if required by law, appoint

inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at the meeting of stockholders,
the person presiding at the meeting may, and shall if required by law, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. The
inspectors need not be stockholders of the Corporation, and any director or officer of the Corporation may be an inspector on
any matter other than a vote for or against such director’s or officer’s election to any position with the Corporation
or on any other matter in which such officer or director may be directly interested. Each inspector, before entering upon the
discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality
and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting
power of each, determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots,
determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors
and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The
inspectors may appoint or retain other persons to assist them in the performance of their duties. The date and time of the opening
and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting.
No ballot, proxy or vote, nor any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing
of the polls. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation,
the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law.
Section
1.8.
Voting; Proxies.
1.8.1.
Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, or any certificate of designation authorizing the issuance of any
series or class of capital stock of the Corporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be
entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each
stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without
a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted
upon after six months from its date, unless coupled with an interest or unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly
executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the
meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a
later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented
by proxy at such meeting shall so determine. Except where applicable law, the rules or regulations of a Listing Body, the Articles
of Incorporation or these Bylaws require a different vote, if a quorum exists, action on a matter other than the election of directors
is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action. In an election of directors, a plurality
of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting and entitled to vote for directors is required
in order to elect a director. For purposes of these Bylaws, “votes cast” shall mean all votes cast in favor of and
against a particular proposal or matter, but shall not include “abstentions or broker non-votes.
1.8.2.
The voting rights of shares of Common Stock shall only be as required by applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation.

Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations
.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders
(i) by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority
of the whole Board or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation that is entitled to vote at the meeting with respect to the election
of directors or the business to be proposed by such stockholder, as the case may be, who complies with the notice procedures set
forth below and that is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation as provided
below.
For
nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and such business must be a proper subject for stockholder
action under applicable law. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation
at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 75 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary
of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced
by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 60 days, from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must
be so delivered not earlier than the ninetieth day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the
later of the seventy-fifth day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of
the date of such meeting is first made. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (A) as to each person whom the stockholder
proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed
in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including such person’s written consent
to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (B) as to any other business that
the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting,

beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and a beneficial
owner on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s
books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and
of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.
Notwithstanding
anything in the second sentence of the preceding paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected
to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying
the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 80 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding
year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by the preceding paragraph also shall be considered timely,
but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary of
the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following
the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section, “public announcement”
shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, or comparable national news
service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13,
14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Nominations
of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be
elected (i) by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by
a majority of the whole Board or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation that is entitled to vote at the meeting with respect
to the election of directors, that complies with the notice procedures set forth in the second paragraph of this Section and that
is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation as provided below. Nominations
by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s
notice as required by the preceding paragraph shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive
offices of the Corporation not earlier than the ninetieth day prior to the special meeting and not later than the close of business
on the later of the sixtieth day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement
is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such
meeting.
Only
persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section shall be eligible to serve as directors
and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance
with the procedures set forth in this Section.
Except
as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or this Section, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power
and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with
the procedures set forth in this Section and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section, to
declare that such defective nomination or proposal shall be disregarded.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section. Nothing in this Section shall
be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy materials
with respect to a meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of Preferred
Stock or any other series or class of stock as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation to elect directors under specified circumstances

stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,
the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors,

action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Nevada,
its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of

Dissent by nominees and beneficial owners
(1) A record shareholder may assert dissenters’ rights as to fewer than all the shares registered

any one person and causes the corporation to receive written notice which states such dissent and the name, address, and federal
taxpayer identification number, if any, of each person on whose behalf the record shareholder asserts dissenters’ rights.
The rights of a record shareholder under this subsection (1) are determined as if the shares as to which the record shareholder
dissents and the other shares of the record shareholder were registered in the names of different shareholders.
(2) A beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters’ rights as to the shares held on the beneficial
shareholder’s behalf only if:
(a) The beneficial shareholder causes the corporation to receive the record shareholder’s
written consent to the dissent not later than the time the beneficial shareholder asserts dissenters’ rights; and
(b) The beneficial shareholder dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by the beneficial
shareholder.
(3) The corporation may require that, when a record shareholder dissents with respect to the shares
held by any one or more beneficial shareholders, each such beneficial shareholder must certify to the corporation that the beneficial
shareholder and the record shareholder or record shareholders of all shares owned beneficially by the beneficial shareholder have
asserted, or will timely assert, dissenters’ rights as to all such shares as to which there is no limitation on the ability
to exercise dissenters’
rights.
Any such requirement shall be stated in the dissenters’ notice given pursuant to section 7-113-203.

not entitled to vote. The notice shall state that shareholders are or may be entitled to assert dissenters’ rights under
this article and shall be accompanied by a copy of this article and the materials, if any, that, under articles 101 to 117 of
this title, are required to be given to shareholders entitled to vote on the proposed action at the meeting. Failure to give notice

to have been given, but any shareholder who was entitled to dissent but who was not given such notice shall not be precluded from

notice stating that shareholders are or may be entitled to assert dissenters’ rights under this article, by a copy of this
article, and by the materials, if any, that, under articles 101 to 117 of this title, would have been required to be given to
shareholders entitled to vote on the proposed action if the proposed action were submitted to a vote at a shareholders’
meeting. Failure to give notice as provided by this subsection (2) shall not affect any action taken pursuant to section 7-107-104
for which the notice was to have been given, but any shareholder who was entitled to dissent but who was not given such notice
shall not be precluded from demanding payment for the shareholder’s shares under this article by reason of the shareholder’s
failure to comply with the provisions of section 7-113-202 (2).

under section 7-113-102 and state that the dissenter shall certify in writing, in or with the dissenter’s payment demand
under section 7-113-204, whether or not the dissenter (or the person on whose behalf dissenters’ rights are asserted) acquired
beneficial ownership of the shares before that date. With respect to any dissenter who does not so certify in writing, in or with
the payment demand, that the dissenter or the person on whose behalf the dissenter asserts dissenters’ rights acquired beneficial
ownership of the shares before such date, the corporation may, in lieu of making the payment provided in section 7-113-206, offer
to make such payment if the dissenter agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of the demand.

Procedure if dissenter is dissatisfied with payment or offer

any payment made under section 7-113-206, or reject the corporation’s offer under section 7-113-208 and demand payment of
the fair value of the shares and interest due, if:
(a) The dissenter believes that the amount paid under section 7-113-206 or offered under section
7-113-208 is less than the fair value of the shares or that the interest due was incorrectly calculated;
(b) The corporation fails to make payment under section 7-113-206 within sixty days after the date
set by the corporation by which the corporation must receive the payment demand; or
(c) The corporation does not return the deposited certificates or release the transfer restrictions
imposed on uncertificated shares as required by section 7-113-207 (1).

or offered payment for the dissenter’s shares.
PART
3. JUDICIAL APPRAISAL OF SHARES
7-113-301.
Court action
(1) If a demand for payment under section 7-113-209 remains unresolved, the corporation may, within
sixty days after receiving the payment demand, commence a proceeding and petition the court to determine the fair value of the
shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty-day period, it shall pay to
each dissenter whose demand remains unresolved the amount demanded.
(2) The corporation shall commence the proceeding described in subsection (1) of this section in
the district court for the county in this state in which the street address of the corporation’s principal office is located,
or, if the corporation has no principal office in this state, in the district court for the county in which the street address
of its registered agent is located, or, if the corporation has no registered agent, in the district court for the city and county
of Denver. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered agent, it shall commence the proceeding in the county
in which the domestic corporation merged into, or whose shares were acquired by, the foreign corporation would have commenced
the action if that corporation were subject to the first sentence of this subsection (2).
(3) The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands
remain unresolved parties to the proceeding commenced under subsection (2) of this section as in an action against their shares,
and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition. Service on each dissenter shall be by registered or certified mail,
to the address stated in such dissenter’s payment demand, or if no such address is stated in the payment demand, at the
address shown on the corporation’s current record of shareholders for the record shareholder holding the dissenter’s
shares, or as provided by law.
(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) of this
section is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a
decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment
to such order. The parties to the proceeding are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.
(5) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding commenced under subsection (2) of this section
is entitled to judgment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter’s shares, plus
interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation, or for the fair value, plus interest, of the dissenter’s shares for
which the corporation elected to withhold payment under section 7-113-208.
7-113-302.
Court costs and counsel fees
(1)
The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under section 7-113-301 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including
the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation;
except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent
the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding payment under section 7-113-209.
(2) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties,
in amounts the court finds equitable:
(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any dissenters if the court finds the corporation did
not substantially comply with part 2 of this article; or
(b) Against either the corporation or one or more dissenters, in favor of any other party, if the
court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith
with respect to the rights provided by this article.
(3) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit
to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the
court may award to said counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefited.
