WHEREAS, upon Closing, Xxxxxxx will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aultra Gold and the Exchange Shares issued to the Xxxxxxx Holders will represent fifty-one percent (51%) of the total outstanding shares of Aultra Gold Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis.

1.2 No Dilution. Except as set forth herein, Aultra Gold shall neither effect, nor fix any record date with respect to, any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, recapitalization, or similar change in the Aultra Gold Common Stock between the date of this Agreement and the Closing.
