INFORMATION STATEMENT
We Are Not Asking You For A Proxy And You Are Requested Not To Send A Proxy.
You are not being asked to approve anything. This Information Statement is being provided to you solely for your information.
The date of this Information Statement is January __, 2010 and is first being mailed on or about January ___, 2010.
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being mailed or otherwise furnished to the shareholders of record of Money4Gold Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), in connection with the consent of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board) and written consent by the holders of the majority of the voting power of the Companys capital stock (the Majority Shareholders) to approve an amendment to the Companys Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate) changing the Companys name to Upstream Worldwide, Inc., or a different but similar corporate name before filing the amendment to the Certificate, and authorizing a reverse stock split in the range of one-for-four, one-for-six or one-for-eight (the Reverse Split). The Company has no present intent of implementing the Reverse Split, but may do so to attract institutional investors and to be in a better position in the future to be listed on a national securities exchange, which have certain listing requirements of which the Reverse Split would help the Company reach. The Company believes it will be in this position within the next year. Of the 182,640,673 total votes, the Majority Shareholders holding approximately ________ votes or ____% of the outstanding voting power, executed a written consent to amend the Companys Certificate to change our corporate name and authorize the Reverse Split. The last consent was executed on January __, 2010 and submitted to the Company on the same date.
Pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), the Company is required to provide prompt notice to the shareholders who have not consented in writing to the name change and Reverse Split.
Record Date
The close of business on December 18, 2009 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive this Information Statement.
Purpose and Effect of the Reverse Split
Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Split, shareholders will receive one share of common stock for every four, six or eight shares held, the actual amount of which and timing will be determined by the Companys management as described above. Any fractional shares will be rounded down. The Reverse Split will reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding, which the Company believes will increase the share price and therefore be more attractive to institutional investors and place the Company in a better position to meet the listing requirements of a national securities exchange.
Purpose and Effect of the Name Change
The Company believes that the name change will better reflect the Companys current business vision.
1
Voting Required
In accordance with Sections 228 and 242 of the DGCL, if the Board adopts a resolution to amend the Certificate, an affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is required. On December 8, 2009, the Board adopted a resolution to change its name to Upstream Worldwide, Inc., or such other different but similar name as to be determined by management and authorized the Reverse Split; subsequently, shareholder approval was obtained through the written consent of our Majority Shareholders. Therefore, a special meeting of the shareholders to approve the amendment to the Certificate was unnecessary. If shareholders had been provided an opportunity to vote at a meeting, an affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock would also be required.
Effective Date
The approval by the Board and the Majority Shareholders will not become effective until at least 20 calendar days from the date this Information Statement is mailed to our shareholders. Upon the expiration of 20 days, we intend to file an amendment to our Certificate reflecting such action. A copy of the amendment to our Certificate is attached as Exhibit A. Although the authority to have the Reverse Split will take effect upon filing the Certificate, the Company, as stated above, will not effectuate the Reverse Split until management feels it is in the best interest of its shareholders. If and when the Reverse Split occurs, the post Reverse Split numbers will not be appropriately reflected on the Over-The-Counter-Bulletin Board until it is approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
How to Obtain a New Certificate
As soon as the Reverse Split is approved by FINRA, any shareholder who would like to obtain a new certificate representing their post Reverse Split ownership, may do so by sending their original certificate with a letter of instruction and the appropriate fee ($45 for free trading shares and $55 for restricted shares) to the following address:
Island Stock Transfer
100 Second Avenue South, Suite 705S
St. Petersburg, Florida 33701
No Dissenters Right of Appraisal
Neither Delaware law nor our Certificate provides our shareholders with dissenters rights in connection with the amendment to our Certificate. This means that no shareholder is entitled to receive any cash or other payment as a result of, or in connection with the amendment to our Certificate, even if a shareholder has not been given an opportunity to vote.
Interests of Certain Persons in or Opposition to Matters to be Acted Upon
No persons have any substantial interest in our name change or the Reverse Split.
Beneficial Ownership
The following table sets forth the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned as of the date of this Information Statement by (i) those persons known by us to be owners of more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) each director and (iii) all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.
