Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and the underlying common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Rapid Link, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”), with its principal executive offices located at 300 71st Street, Suite 500, Miami Beach, Florida 33141.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

This Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Blackbird Corporation (“Blackbird”). Blackbird is a corporation organized in the State of Florida and its principal business is to hold various investments. Blackbird is sometimes referred to herein as the “Reporting Person.” The principal business address of the Reporting Person is 300 71st Street, Suite 500, Miami Beach, Florida 33141.

During the past five years, the Reporting Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Person exchanged all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Mr. Prepaid, Inc., a Florida corporation and former subsidiary of the Reporting Person (“Mr. Prepaid”), for the shares of Preferred Stock subject of this Schedule 13D. See Item 4, below.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On February 24, 2010, the Reporting Person consummated the initial closing under a Share Exchange Agreement, dated October 13, 2009, as amended by an Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement, dated January 21, 2010 (collectively, the “Share Exchange Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Reporting Person, certain of the Company’s principal shareholders, certain principal shareholders of the Reporting Person, and Mr. Prepaid. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired from the Reporting Person all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Mr. Prepaid in exchange for the 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock subject of this Schedule 13D.

The Preferred Stock has certain rights and preferences including identical voting rights as the Common Stock with each share of Preferred Stock entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock would be convertible. The shares of Preferred Stock issued to the Reporting Person upon the initial closing are convertible into 520,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As a result, on an as-converted basis, these 520,000,000 shares of Common Stock would constitute approximately 80% of the Company’s then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The conversion of the Preferred Stock issued to the Reporting Person is subject to the Company amending its certificate of incorporation to increase the amount of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued by the Company to an amount sufficient to permit the conversion of all such shares of the Preferred Stock.

The descriptions of the Share Exchange Agreement and the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Certificate of Designations, Rights and Preferences of the Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) included as Exhibits to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated into this Schedule 13D by this reference.

The Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock which are currently convertible into 520,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations. As a result, on an as-converted basis, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 80% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.

(b) The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock as well as the underlying shares of Common Stock.

(c) Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person has not effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.
