~~Reverse~~Reason ~~Stock~~for ~~Split~~the Corporate Name Changes

The ~~Reverse~~corporate ~~Split~~name ~~will~~changes ~~occur~~were oninitiated ~~July~~in 1,response ~~2011~~to a Texas corporation's claim that our Company, (incorporated in Nevada with the ~~"Effective~~same ~~Date")~~name, ~~without~~Gulfmark ~~any~~Energy, ~~further~~Inc., ~~action~~had oninfringed ~~the~~upon ~~part~~its oftrade ~~shareholders~~name of"Gulfmark" in the ~~Company~~State ~~and~~of ~~without~~Texas.

After the Effective Date of the Reverse Split, the certificates representing shares of Prior Common represent one-fortieth the number of shares of New Common. Certificates representing shares of New Common will be issued in due course as old certificates are tendered for exchange. No fractional shares of New Common will be issued and, in lieu thereof, shareholders holding a number of shares of Prior Common not evenly divisible by 40, and stockholders holding fewer than 40 shares of Prior Common prior to the Effective Date, upon surrender of their old certificates, will receive one (1) share of New Common in lieu of fractional shares of New Common.

After the reverse split we will have 1,100,000,000 authorized common shares, approximately 27,292,010 issued and outstanding (subject to rounding up fractional shares) and 50,000,000 authorized preferred shares, 11,000,000 Series “A” preferred shares issued and outstanding. The reverse split will not affect the preferred capital stock and will not reduce the number of common shares into which the preferred stock may be converted in the future.

The New Common issued pursuant to the Reverse Split will be fully paid and non-assessable. All shares of New Common will have the same voting rights and other rights as shares of the Prior Common.
