AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS
 
Under the DGCL and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that will be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing. The approval of the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to effect the Reverse Split and the decrease in authorized shares of our Common Stock require the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each Stockholder is entitled to one vote per share of Common Stock held of record on any matter which may properly come before the stockholders.
 
On the Record Date, the Company had 116,628,217 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding with the holders thereof being entitled to cast one vote per share.
  
On April 22, 2015, the Majority Stockholders unanimously adopted resolutions approving the filing of a Certificate of Amendment as set forth in Appendix A to effect the Reverse Split and the decrease in authorized shares of our Common Stock.
 
CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS
 
On April 22, 2015, the Majority Stockholders being the record holders of 63,665,785 shares of our Common Stock, constituting approximately 54.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, consented in writing to approve the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to effect the Reverse Split and the decrease in authorized shares of our Common Stock (together, the “Stockholder Actions”).
 
We are not seeking written consent from any other stockholder, and the other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the foregoing Stockholder Actions. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising stockholders of the action taken by Written Consent and giving stockholders notice of such actions taken as required by the Exchange Act.
 
As the Stockholder Actions were taken by Written Consent, there will be no security holders’ meeting and representatives of the principal accountants for the current year and for the most recently completed fiscal year will not have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.
 
We will, when permissible following the expiration of the 20-day period mandated by Rule 14c of the Exchange Act and the provisions of the DGCL, file the Certificate of Amendment effecting the Reverse Split and the decrease in authorized shares of our Common Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office.

Identification of Certain Significant Employees

We have no employees who are not executive officers, but who are expected to make a significant contribution to our business.

Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships between any directors or officers of the Company.
 
 
 

 
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
 
1.
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers, directors and beneficial owner of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission statements of ownership and changes in ownership. The same persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We believe that, during fiscal 2014, all of our executive officers, directors and beneficial owner of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities complied with the applicable filing requirements.

In making these statements, we have relied upon examination of the copies of all Section 16(a) forms provided to us and the written representations of our executive officers, directors and beneficial owner of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities.

 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
Our current corporate governance practices and policies are designed to promote stockholder value and we are committed to the highest standards of corporate ethics and diligent compliance with financial accounting and reporting rules. Our Board provides independent leadership in the exercise of its responsibilities. Our management oversees a system of internal controls and compliance with corporate policies and applicable laws and regulations, and our employees operate in a climate of responsibility, candor and integrity.
 
 
 
Board Leadership Structure
 
Our Board leadership structure is currently composed of combined Chairperson of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and the other members of our Board of Directors are non-executive members. The Board has three outstanding committees: (1) Audit Committee; (2) Remuneration Committee and (3) Nomination Committee. All these committees are composed of non-executive directors only.
 
Our Board of Directors has also determined a lead independent director is not necessary and has not appointed one at this time. In making these determinations, the Board of Directors considered the relative size of the Company, the size of the Board of Directors and the fact that all the other members of the Board of Directors are non-executive directors. The Board of Directors believes that Dr. Earnest Leung serves as both Chairperson of the board and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Dr. Leung is the director most familiar with the PRC environment and our business, possess in-depth diverse business management experience, and is most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The current combined position of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer promotes a unified direction and leadership for the Board and gives a single, clear focus for the chain of command for our organization, strategy and business plans. The Board of Directors also believes that our overall corporate governance policies and practices adequately address any governance concerns raised by the dual chairperson and chief executive officer role.

 
 

 
 
 
Board Committees
 
Our board of directors currently has three standing committees which perform various duties on behalf of and report to the board of directors: (i) audit committee, (ii) remuneration committee and (iii) nominating committee. From time to time, the board of directors may establish other committees. Each of the three standing committees is comprised entirely of independent directors as follows:

Name of Director
Audit
Nominating
Remuneration
 
Wong Wing Kong
C

________
C = Chairperson
M = Member

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for each of these committees, copies of which can be found on our website at www.ncnmedia.com .

Audit Committee
 
Our board of directors established an Audit Committee in September 2007. Our Audit Committee currently consists of one member: Wong Wing Kong. The Company does not have a qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert. The Company intends to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire. Mr. Wong Wing Kong serves as the chairperson of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee oversees our accounting, financial reporting and audit processes; appoints, determines the compensation of, and oversees, the independent auditors; pre-approves audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors; reviews the results and scope of audit and other services provided by the independent auditors; reviews the accounting principles and practices and procedures used in preparing our financial statements; and reviews our internal controls.
 
The Audit Committee works closely with management and our independent auditors. The Audit Committee also meets with our independent auditors without members of management present on regularly basis to review the results of their work. The Audit Committee also meets with our independent auditors to approve the annual scope and fees for the audit services to be performed.
 
Remuneration Committee
 
Our board of directors established a Remuneration Committee in September 2007. Our Remuneration Committee consists of one member: Wong Wing Kong. Mr. Wong Wing Kong serves as the chairperson of the Remuneration Committee.

The Remuneration Committee (i) oversees and makes general recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding our compensation and benefits policies; (ii) oversees, evaluates and approves cash and stock compensation plans, policies and programs for our executive officers; and (iii) oversees and sets compensation for the Board of Directors. Our Chief Executive Officer may not be present at any meeting of our compensation committee during which his compensation is deliberated.
 
All the compensation packages for executive officers and directors including both employee directors and non-employee directors are recommended and proposed by the Remuneration Committee. In determining compensation for executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Remuneration Committee considers, among other things, the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. However, the full Board of Directors determines all such compensation packages.
 
The Remuneration Committee may, in its discretion, delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a sub-committee of the Remuneration Committee consisting of one or more members of the Committee. The Remuneration Committee has no current intention to delegate any of its authority to any subcommittee. Also, the Remuneration Committee did not engage any compensation consultants in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive and director compensation in the past.
 
Nominating Committee
 
Our board of directors established a Nominating Committee in September 2007. Our Nominating Committee currently consists of one member: Wong Wing Kong. Mr. Wong Wing Kong serves as the chairperson of the Nominating Committee.

 
 

 
 
The Nominating Committee (i) considers and periodically reports on matters relating to the identification, selection and qualification of the Board of Directors and candidates nominated to the Board of Directors and its committees; (ii) develops and recommends governance principles applicable to the Company; and (iii) oversees the evaluation of the Board of Directors and management from a corporate governance perspective.
 
Although our bylaws do not contain provisions which specifically address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the Board of Directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. In evaluating candidates submitted by stockholders, the Nominating Committee will consider (in addition to the criteria applicable to all director candidates described below) the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate, and may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending stockholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. In general, to have a candidate considered by the Nominating Committee, a stockholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include the following information:
 
 
1.
The name of the stockholder and evidence of the person’s ownership of Company stock, including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and
 
 
2.
The name of the candidate, the candidate’s resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of the Company and the person’s consent to be named as a director if selected by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board.
 
The stockholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary at Network CN Inc., Room 801A and 807B, 8/F, Tsim Sha Tsui Centre, 66 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. For a candidate to be considered for nomination by the Nominating Committee at an annual meeting, a stockholder recommendation must be received not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the Company’s most recent annual meeting of stockholders.
 
The Nominating Committee does not have any formal criteria for director nominees; however, it believes that director nominees should have certain minimum qualifications, including the highest personal and professional integrity and values, an inquiring and independent mind, practical wisdom and mature judgment. In evaluating director nominees, the Nominating Committee also considers an individual’s skills, character, leadership experience, business experience and acumen, familiarity with relevant industry issues, national and international experience, and other relevant criteria that may contribute to our success. This evaluation is performed in light of the skill set and other characteristics that would most complement those of the current directors, including the diversity, maturity, skills and experience of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that can best implement our business plan, develop our business and represent shareholder interests.
 
As described above, the Nominating Committee will consider candidates recommended by shareholders. It will also receive suggestions of candidates from current Board members, the Company’s executive officers or other sources, which may be either unsolicited or in response to requests from the Nominating Committee.
 
After a person has been identified by the Nominating Committee as a potential candidate, the Nominating Committee may collect and review publicly available information regarding the person to assess whether the person should be considered further. The Nominating Committee members may contact the person if the person should be considered further. Generally, the Nominating Committee may request information from the candidate, review the person’s accomplishments and qualifications and may conduct one or more interviews with the candidate and members of the committee or other Board members. In certain instances, Nominating Committee members or other Board members may contact one or more references provided by the candidate or may contact other members of the business community or other persons that may have first-hand knowledge of the candidate’s accomplishments. The Nominating Committee’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether or not a candidate is recommended by a shareholder, although, as stated above, in the case of such a candidate the Board may take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held.
 
 
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
 
Our Board of Directors recognizes that, although risk management is a primary responsibility of the Company’s management, the Board plays a critical role in oversight of risk. The Board, in order to more specifically carry out this responsibility, has assigned certain task focusing on reviewing different areas including strategic, operational, financial and reporting, compensation, compliance, corporate governance and other risks to the relevant Board Committees as summarized above. Each Committee then reports to the full Board ensuring the Board’s full involvement in carrying out its responsibility for risk management.

 
Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance
 
During fiscal year 2014, the Board of Directors held two (2) meetings and acted by written consent one (1) time. The number of meetings held by the three standing committees during fiscal 2014 was as follows:

All of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which they served during fiscal 2014.  
 
Communications with the Board of Directors

Stockholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board of Directors may so specify. All communications will be reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer.
 
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
A Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote (a) honest and ethical conduct, (b) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements, (c) compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, (d) prompt reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person and (e) accountability for adherence to the Code.

However, we have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Such code of business conduct and ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2015, and is also available on our corporate website at www.ncnmedia.com .

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Except as set forth below, during our last two fiscal years, we have not entered into any material transactions or series of transactions that would be considered material in which any director or executive officer or beneficial owner of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of any of the preceding persons, had a direct or indirect material interest:
 
In April 2009, in connection with debt restructuring, Statezone Ltd. of which Dr. Earnest Leung, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a Director (being appointed on July 15, 2009 and May 11, 2009 respectively) is the sole director, provided agency and financial advisory services to the Company. Accordingly, the Company paid an aggregate service fee of $350,000 of which $250,000 has been recorded as issuance costs for 1% Convertible Promissory Notes and $100,000 has been recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets, net since April 2009. Such $100,000 is refundable unless Keywin Option is exercised and completed.

Related Party Transaction Policy
 
Our Company has adopted a written Related Party Transaction Policy, or the Policy, for the purpose of describing the procedures used to identify, review, approve and disclose, if necessary, any transaction in which (i) the Company is a participant and (ii) a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
 
Once a related party transaction in which the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year has been identified, the Audit Committee must review the transaction for approval or ratification. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related party transaction, the Audit Committee shall consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the following factors:
 
 
l
the benefits to the Company of the transaction;
 
l
the nature of the related party’s interest in the transaction;
 
l
whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders;
 
l
the potential impact of the transaction on a director’s independence; and
 
l
any other matters the Audit Committee deems appropriate.
 
No director may participate in any discussion, approval or ratification of a transaction in which he or she is a related person. 
 
AMENDMENT OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
 
On April 22, 2015, the Majority Stockholders unanimously adopted resolutions approving (1) the 1-for-15 Reverse Split of our issued and outstanding Common Stock, and (2) the decrease in the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock which will be effectuated in conjunction with the adoption of the Certificate of Amendment.
 
The Reverse Split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and the decrease in authorized shares will reduce our authorized shares of Common Stock from 400,000,000 to 26,666,667 shares. The Reverse Split and the decrease in authorized shares will become effective on the Effective Date which occurs when the Certificate of Amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware following the expiration of the 20-day period mandated by Rule 14c of the Exchange Act.
 
On the Effective Date, 15 shares of Common Stock will automatically be combined and changed into one share of Common Stock. Any fractional shares of post-Reverse Split Common Stock will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The table below sets forth, as of the Record Date, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, the number of reserved shares of Common Stock and the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock, both before and after the proposed Reverse Split.

Purposes for Reverse Split and Decrease in Authorized Shares and Effects on Common Stock

The Reverse Split and Decrease in Authorized Shares has been effected for the primary purpose of providing us with greater flexibility with respect to our capital structure for any future equity financings and stock based acquisitions.  As shown in the table above, the Reverse Split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and the decrease in authorized shares will reduce our authorized shares of common stock from 400,000,000 to 26,666,667 shares.  Unless both the issued and outstanding and authorized shares are simultaneously reduced, the number of shares outstanding upon the issuance of additional shares to investors and the number of authorized shares available for issuance will be so great that the per share value of our stock will be very small. A low stock price can have the effect of reducing the liquidity of a corporation’s stock and our Board of Directors believes that it will not be in our best interests to have a very low per share stock price. Our Board of Directors hopes that the Reverse Split will result in a higher per share market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the brokerage commissions on the purchase or sale of stock with a relatively low per share price generally tend to represent a higher percentage of the sales price than the commission charges on a stock with a relatively high per share price. Our Board of Directors believes these issues are best addressed by increasing the value per share of our Common Stock, which we believe will occur as a result of the Reverse Split. However, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above.
 
On the Effective Date, fifteen shares of Common Stock will automatically be combined and changed into one share of Common Stock. No additional action on our part or any stockholder will be required in order to effect the Reverse Split. Certificates that represent pre-Reverse Split shares will automatically, and without any action on the part of any person, represent approximately 20% of such pre-Reverse Split shares following the Effective Date. Any fractional shares of post-Reverse Split Common Stock will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

We will obtain a new CUSIP number for our Common Stock at the time of the Reverse Split and the decrease in authorized shares. Subject to the provisions for elimination of fractional shares, as described above, consummation of the Reverse Split will not result in a change in the relative equity position or voting power of the holders of Common Stock. The number of stockholders will remain unchanged as a result of the Reverse Split.

No replacement certificates will be issued to stockholders in connection with the Reverse Split. The change will occur on the books of the Company’s transfer agent. The Company intends for the Reverse Split to treat stockholders holding the Company’s Common Stock in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders by making the appropriate adjustment to the number of shares held in such accounts.
 
There are no arrears in dividends or defaults in principal or interest in respect to the securities which are to be exchanged.
 
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
 
The combination of 15 shares of pre-Reverse Split Common Stock into one share of post-Reverse Split Common Stock should be a tax-free transaction under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the holding period and tax basis of the pre-Reverse Split Common Stock will be transferred to the post-Reverse Split Common Stock.
 
This discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax consequences of the Reverse Split may not be the same for all stockholders. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors to know their individual Federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.

Accounting Matters of the Reverse Split

The par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock would remain unchanged after the Reverse Split. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on the balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be reduced proportionally, based on the exchange ratio of the Reverse Split, from its present amount, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of the Common Stock will be restated because there will be fewer shares of the Common Stock outstanding.

Fairness of the Process

The Board of Directors did not obtain a report, opinion, or appraisal from an appraiser or financial advisor with respect to the Reverse Split and no representative or advisor was retained on behalf of the unaffiliated stockholders to review or negotiate the transaction. The Board of Directors concluded that the expense of these procedures was not reasonable in relation to the size of the transaction contemplated and concluded that the Board of Directors could adequately establish the fairness of the Reverse Split without such outside persons.
 
 
 

 
 
OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Information Statement, the Board of Directors knows of no other matters other than those described in this Information Statement that have been approved or considered by the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities.
