OUTSTANDING
SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
As of the
Record Date, our authorized capitalization consisted of 100,000,000 shares
of common stock (the “Common Stock”), of
which _____ shares were issued and outstanding.
Each
share of Common Stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted
to the shareholders. However, because shareholders holding at least a majority
of the voting rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock at the Record
Date (the “Majority Shareholder”) have voted in favor of the foregoing proposals
by resolution dated April 21, 2009 and having sufficient voting power to
approve such proposals through their ownership of capital stock, no other
shareholder consents will be solicited in connection with this Information
Statement.
Pursuant
to Rule 14c-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the
proposals will not be adopted until a date at least 20 days after the date
on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the shareholders of the
Company as of the Record Date. We anticipate that the actions contemplated
herein will be effected on or about June 3, 2009.
We have
asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this
Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of
record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in forwarding such material.
Distributions
and Costs
We will
pay all costs associated with the distribution of this Information Statement,
including the costs of printing and mailing. We will only deliver one
Information Statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address, unless we
have received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. Also,
we will promptly deliver a separate copy of this Information Statement and
future shareholder communication documents to any shareholder at a shared
address to which a single copy of this Information Statement was delivered, or
deliver a single copy of this Information Statement and future shareholder
communication documents to any shareholder or shareholders sharing an address to
which multiple copies are now delivered, upon written request to us at our
address noted above.
Shareholders
may also address future requests regarding delivery of information statements
and annual reports by contacting us at our address above.
No
Dissenters’ Rights
The
Nevada Revised Statutes do not provide for dissenter's rights in connection with
any of the actions described in this Information Statement, and we will not
provide shareholders with any such right independently.
AMENDMENTS
TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
NAME
CHANGE
We intend
to file a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation
effectuating the name change with the Secretary of State of Nevada (the “Name
Change”). This amendment to our Articles of Incorporation will become
effective at the close of business on the date the Certificate of Amendment to
the Articles of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State
of Nevada. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made
on or about June 3, 2009, twenty days (20) after this Information Statement is
first mailed to our shareholders.
Reasons
for the Name Change
The
Company’s Board of Directors, as well as the Majority Shareholder believes that
the Name Change is in the Company’s best interest and is intended to more
accurately reflect the Company’s operations and interests.
You
are not required to exchange your certificate(s) of Siena Technologies, Inc. for
new stock certificates reflecting our new name of XnE, Inc., although you may do
so if you wish.
THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF
COMMON STOCK
Our Board
of Directors and the Majority Shareholder have also approved an amendment to our
Articles of Incorporation to effect a Five Hundred-to-One reverse stock split of
our Common Stock (the “Stock Split”).
Background
We
currently have 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, and approximately
_____ shares of Common Stock are outstanding as of the Record Date. Our Board of
Directors and Majority Shareholder believe that the price of our Common Stock is
too low to attract investors to buy the stock. In order to proportionally raise
the per share price of our Common Stock, our Board of Directors and the Majority
Shareholder believe that it is in our best interest to implement the Stock Split
by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. In addition, our
Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholder believe that the share price of
the Common Stock is a factor in whether the Common Stock meets investing
guidelines for certain institutional investors and investment funds. Finally,
our Board of Directors and Majority Shareholder believe that we will benefit
from relatively lower trading costs for a higher priced stock. The combination
of lower transaction costs and increased interest from institutional investors
and investment funds may ultimately improve the trading liquidity of our Common
Stock. Our Board of Directors and Majority Shareholder are not implementing the
reverse stock split in anticipation of any future transaction or series of
transactions, including any “going private” transaction.
Material
Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
The Stock
Split will be affected simultaneously for all Common Stock, and the ratio will
be the same for all shareholders of Common Stock. The Stock Split will effect
all of our shareholders uniformly and will not effect any shareholder's
percentage ownership interests, except to the extent that the reverse stock
split results in fractional share ownership.
The
principal effect of the reverse stock split will be to reduce the number of
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from approximately _____ shares as
of May 5, 2009 to approximately _____ shares.
In
addition, the Stock Split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd
lots (less than 100 shares). Shareholders who hold odd lots may experience an
increase in the cost of selling their shares and may have greater difficulty in
affecting sales.
Effect
on Fractional Shareholders
Shareholders
will not receive fractional post-reverse stock split shares in connection with
the Stock Split and we will not be paying any cash to shareholders for any
fractional shares from the reverse split. Instead, any resulting fractional
shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Effect
on Registered and Beneficial Shareholders
Upon the
Stock Split, we intend to treat shareholders holding Common Stock in “street
name,” through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered
shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other
nominees will be instructed to affect the reverse stock split for their
beneficial holders holding of Common Stock in “street name.” However, such
banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered
shareholders for processing the reverse stock split. Shareholders who hold their
shares of Common Stock with such a bank, broker or other nominee and who have
any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their
nominees.
Effect
on Registered Certificated Shares
Shareholders
whose shares are held in certificate form will receive a transmittal letter from
our transfer agent, Standard Registrar & Transfer Co., as soon as
practicable after the effective date of the Stock Split. The letter of
transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender certificate(s)
representing pre-reverse stock split shares to the transfer agent. No new shares
will be issued until outstanding certificate(s) are surrendered, together with a
properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the transfer agent.
Shareholders should not submit any certificate(s) until requested to do
so.
Procedure
for Affecting Reverse Stock Split
The Stock
Split will become effective on the date we file the Certificate of Amendment to
the Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada, which is referred to as
the “Effective
Date.” Beginning on the Effective Date, each certificate representing
pre-reverse stock split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to
evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split shares. The Certificate of
Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation is subject to modification to include
such changes as may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the
State of Nevada and as the Board of Directors deems necessary and advisable to
affect the reverse stock split.
Certain
Risk Factors Associated with the Reverse Stock Split
Implementation
of the Stock Split entails various risks and uncertainties, including but not
limited to the following:
|
|
●
|
There
can be no assurance that the market price per share of Common Stock after
the Stock Split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the
reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the
Stock Split. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after the Stock
Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Stock
Split.
|
|
|
●
|
After
the Stock Split is affected, if the market price of our Common Stock
declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the
absence of a reverse stock split.
|
|
|
●
|
There
can be no assurance that the Stock Split will result in a per share price
that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such
share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional
investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of the
Common Stock may not necessarily
improve.
|
|
|
●
|
The
reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Stock Split
could adversely affect the liquidity of the Common
Stock.
|
Authorized
Shares
The Stock
Split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and
outstanding rights to acquire Common Stock. Upon the effectiveness of the Stock
Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock that are now issued or
outstanding would increase due to the reduction in the number of shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding.
We
currently have 100,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock and _____ shares of
Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of May 5, 2009. Authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock will be available for issuance, and we may issue
such shares in the future. However, we have no current plans to issue any
additional shares of Common Stock. If we issues additional shares of Common
Stock, the ownership interest of holders of the Common Stock will be
diluted.
The
following table sets forth information regarding the Company's current and
anticipated number of authorized shares and issued and outstanding shares of the
Common Stock following implementation of the reverse stock split.

Accounting
Matters
The Stock
Split will not affect the par value of the Common Stock. As a result, as of the
effective time of the Stock Split, the stated capital attributable to the Common
Stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the reverse
stock split ratio of Five Hundred-for-One, 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.
Potential
Anti-Takeover Effect
Although
the increased proportion of un-issued authorized shares to issued shares could,
under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by
permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking
to effect a change in the composition of the Board of Directors or contemplating
a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with
another company), the Stock Split proposal is not being undertaken in response
to any effort of which the Board of Directors is aware to accumulate shares of
the Common Stock or obtain control of our Company. Other than the Stock Split,
the Board of Directors does not currently contemplate the adoption of any other
amendments to the Articles of Incorporation that could be construed to affect
the ability of third parties to take over or change the control of our
Company.
No
Appraisal Rights
The Nevada Revised Statutes do not
provide for dissenter’s rights in connection with any of the actions described
in this Information Statement and the Company will not provide shareholder with
any such right independently.
Federal
Income Tax Consequences of the Stock Split
The
following is a summary of the material federal income tax consequences of the
proposed Stock Split. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, the
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial opinions, published
positions of the Internal Revenue Service, and all other applicable authorities
as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change (possibly
with retroactive effect). This discussion does not describe all of the tax
consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of his particular
circumstances or to holders subject to special rules (such as dealers in
securities, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt
organizations, foreign individuals and entities, and persons who acquired their
Common Stock as compensation). In addition, this summary is limited to
shareholders that hold their Common Stock as capital assets. This discussion
also does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state,
local or foreign jurisdiction.
ACCORDINGLY,
EACH SHAREHOLDER IS STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH A TAX ADVISER TO DETERMINE
THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER OF THE STOCK SPLIT.
No gain
or loss should be recognized by a shareholder upon such shareholder's exchange
of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares pursuant
to the Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split
shares received in the Stock Split will be the same as the shareholder's
aggregate tax basis in the pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged therefore.
The shareholder's holding period for the post-reverse stock split shares will
include the period during which the shareholder held the pre-reverse stock split
shares surrendered in the Stock Split.
The tax
treatment of each shareholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and
circumstances of such shareholder. Each shareholder is urged to consult with
such shareholder's own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the
Stock Split. Each shareholder should consult with his or her own tax advisor
with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to him or her of the Stock
Split.
Effective
Date of the Amendments
The Name
Change and the Stock Split will become effective upon our filing of the
Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. Pursuant to
Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the foregoing proposals may not become
effective until a date at least 20 days after the date on which this Information
Statement has been mailed to the shareholders. We anticipate filing the
Certificate of Amendment on or about the close of business on June 3,
2009.

such reports have been established by the SEC and we are required to disclose
any failure to file reports by such dates. We believe that during the

to Section 16(a) were filed on a timely basis.
