PROPOSAL
1
AMENDMENT
TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION
TO EFFECTUATE A 1-FOR-74 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Introduction
On
March
10, 2006, our board of directors unanimously adopted a resolution declaring
it
advisable to amend our certificate of incorporation to effectuate a 1-for-35
reverse stock split, which resolution was superceded by a new resolution
unanimously adopted by our board of directors on April 21, 2006 to increase
the
reverse split to 1-for-74. Our board of directors further directed that this
amendment to our certificate of incorporation be submitted for consideration
by
our stockholders. On May 5, 2006, the holders of our voting stock approved
the
1-for-74 reverse stock split.
Effective
Time of the Reverse Split
We
intend
to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th)
day
after this information statement is sent to our shareholders, an amendment
to
our certificate of incorporation effectuating the reverse stock split with
the
Secretary of State of Delaware. This amendment to our certificate of
incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date the
amendment to the certificate of incorporation is accepted for filing by the
Secretary of State of Delaware. It is presently contemplated that such filing
will be made in the last week of May 2006. A copy of the amendment to our
certificate of incorporation is attached to this information statement as
Appendix A.
Reasons
for the Reverse Stock Split
Our
board
of directors seeks to adopt the one for seventy-four reverse
stock-split in order to improve our capitalization and to comply with the terms
of the agreement underlying our acquisition of all of the outstanding shares
of
American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc. (See “RECENT CHANGES—Change in
Control”). After giving effect the acquisition without the reverse stock split,
the number of total shares outstanding on April 24, 2006 (including shares
issuable upon conversion of the 23,980 shares of our series A preferred stock
issued in connection therewith) would be approximately 665,882,042. Our board
of
directors believes that this number of outstanding shares, along with the low
per share market price of our common stock, impairs its marketability to and
acceptance by institutional investors and other members of the investing public
and creates a negative impression of our company. In addition, we are only
authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, so in order to satisfy
the conversion terms of the series A preferred stock, we would either need
to
increase our authorized common stock or effectuate a reverse split. The series
A
preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock
immdediately prior to consummation of the reverse split, which further enhances
our capital structure. The board of directors has determined that, for the
reasons set forth herein, the better choice is to effectuate the reverse
split.
Theoretically,
decreasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding should not, by
itself, affect the marketability of the shares, the type of investor who would
be interested in acquiring them, or our reputation in the financial community.
In practice, however, many investors and market makers consider low-priced
stocks as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid
investment and trading in such stocks. The presence of these negative
perceptions may be adversely affecting, and may continue to adversely affect,
not only the pricing of our common stock but also its trading liquidity. In
addition, these perceptions may affect our commercial business and our ability
to raise additional capital through the sale of stock or the cost of debt we
may
incur.
We
hope
that the decrease in the number of shares of our outstanding common stock
resulting from the reverse split, and the anticipated increase in the price
per
share, will encourage greater interest in our common stock among members of
the
financial community and the investing public and possibly create a more liquid
market for our stockholders with respect to those shares presently held by
them.
However, the possibility exists that stockholder liquidity may be adversely
affected by the reduced number of shares which would be outstanding if the
reverse split is effected, particularly if the price per share of our common
stock begins a declining trend after the reverse split is effected. Companies
which effectuate reverse stock splits often experience such a declining
trend.
It
is
possible that the reverse split will not achieve any of the desired results.
There also can be no assurance that the price per share of our common stock
immediately after the reverse split will increase proportionately with the
reverse split, or that any increase will be sustained for any period of
time.
We
are
not aware of any present efforts by anyone to accumulate our common stock,
and
the proposed reverse split is not intended to be an anti-takeover
device.
Possible
Disadvantages
Stock
Certificates and Fractional Shares
We
will
not issue any certificates representing fractional shares of our common stock
in
the transaction, while retaining the current par value of $0.001. We will not
be
paying any cash to stockholders for any fractional shares resulting from the
reverse split; rather, any resulting fractional shares shall be rounded up
to
the nearest whole number.
We
will
not issue any certificates representing fractional shares of our common stock
in
the transaction, while retaining the current par value of $0.001. Any resulting
fractional shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Upon
surrender to the transfer agent of the share certificate(s) representing shares
of pre-split common stock, the holder will receive a share certificate
representing the appropriate number of shares of our common stock.

AMENDMENT
TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION
TO CHANGE OUR NAME TO
AMERICAN
SOUTHWEST MUSIC DISTRIBUTION, INC.
Introduction
On
March
10, 2006, our board of directors unanimously adopted a resolution declaring
it
advisable to amend our certificate of incorporation to change our name to
“American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc.” Our board of directors further
directed that this amendment to our certificate of incorporation be submitted
for consideration by our stockholders. On May 5, 2006, the holders of our voting
stock approved the amendment of our certificate of incorporation to change
our
name to “American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc.” A copy of the amendment to
our certificate of incorporation is attached to this information statement
as
Appendix A.
Effective
Time of the Name Change
We
intend
to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th)
day
after this information statement is sent to our shareholders, an amendment
to
our certificate of incorporation effectuating the name change with the Secretary
of State of Delaware. This amendment to our certificate of incorporation will
become effective at the close of business on the date the amendment to the
certificate of incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State
of
Delaware. It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made in the
last
week of May 2006.
Reasons
for the Name Change
Our
board
of directors feels that this name change is in our best interest. In light
of
American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc. becoming our sole operating
subsidiary, the name “GL Energy & Exploration, Inc.” no longer accurately
reflects the company’s operations and interests.
You
are not required to exchange your certificate(s) of GL Energy & Exploration,
Inc. for new stock certificates reflecting our new name of American Southwest
Music Distribution, Inc., although you may do so if you
wish.
RECENT
CHANGES
On
March
13, 2006, we entered into an agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to
which we acquired all of the equity of American Southwest Music Distribution,
Inc., a Texas corporation (“American”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, we
issued 22,500,000 shares of our common stock and 23,980 shares of our series
A
convertible preferred stock to David Michery and Kent Puckett, the owners of
American. Messrs. Michery and Puckett were our officers and directors at the
time of the Exchange Agreement, positions they held since October 2004 in
connection with our entry into a merger agreement with American in October
2004.
This merger agreement was never consummated and was terminated. The consummation
of the Exchange Agreement resulted in a change of control.
As
a
result of the Exchange Agreement, the former shareholders of American control
GL
Energy & Exploration, Inc., holding approximately 93.6% of the outstanding
shares of voting stock of GL Energy.
For
a
full description of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions relating
thereto, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 10,
2006.
