WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
To the Holders of Common Stock of Progreen US, Inc.:
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to the holders (the “ Stockholders”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), of Progreen US, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company”), to notify the Stockholders that on April 5, 2019, the Company received a written consent from the holder of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series C Preferred”) . Currently, there is one holder of Series C Preferred (the “Series C Stockholder” or the “Majority Stockholder”), holding fifty-one (51) shares of Series C Preferred, resulting in the Series C Stockholder holding in the aggregate in excess of 51% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company. Each share of Series C Preferred has the equivalent of 30,299,113 votes of common stock (based upon the outstanding number of shares of common stock and voting preferred stock issued at the time hereof). The Series C Stockholder authorized the following Amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Certificate of Incorporation: to authorize increase in the number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from one billion two hundred fifty million (1,250,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, to three billion (3,000,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Authorized Share Increase”). The Company currently has no commitments for the issuance of any shares of common stock or preferred stock, other than as provided for in existing agreements and instruments to which it is a party.
On April 5, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Authorized Share Increase, and the Majority Stockholder approved the Authorized Share Increase by written consent effective April 5, 2019 in lieu of a meeting (the “Action”). The approval of the Majority Stockholder was effective also April 5, 2019. Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Authorized Share Increase. The Certificate of Amendment (which includes the Authorized Share Increase) will become effective when we file the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Amendment will not be filed, and will not become effective, until the date that is at least 20 days after the Definitive Information Statement is first mailed or otherwise delivered to our stockholders.
The Action taken by written consent was taken pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, referred to as the DGCL, which provides that any action that may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken by the written consent of the holders of the number of shares of voting stock required to approve the action at a meeting. The DGCL, however, requires that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a Company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to a company. This Information Statement shall constitute the required notice pursuant to the DGCL.
On such basis, in order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting of stockholders, the Majority Stockholder approved the Action in accordance with the DGCL. This Information Statement is being furnished to all of our Stockholders in accordance with Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, solely for the purpose of informing our Stockholders of the actions taken by the written consent before they become effective.
THE ACCOMPANYING INFORMATION STATEMENT IS BEING MAILED TO STOCKHOLDERS ON OR ABOUT MAY 2, 2019. THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDER MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER ANY MATTER WHICH IS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.

INTRODUCTION
This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of the Authorized Share Increase approved by the Board of Progreen US, Inc. (the “Company”,” “ we ,” “ our ,” or “ us ”) and the holder of Series C Preferred Stock, who holds a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company.
Common Stock
By unanimous written consent of the Board (as permitted under the DGCL), the number, designation, rights, preferences and privileges of the Series C Preferred were established by the Board (as is permitted under the DGCL and by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company). The designation, rights, preferences and privileges that the Board established for the Series C Preferred are set forth in a Certificate of Designation that was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on February 27, 2019. Among other things, the Certificate of Designation provides that each one share of Series C Preferred has voting rights equal to (x) 0.019607 multiplied by the total issued and outstanding common stock eligible to vote at the time of the respective vote (the “Numerator”), divided by (y) 0.49, minus (z) the Numerator.
By unanimous written consent of the Board, the Board issued an aggregate of fifty-one (51) shares of Series C Preferred to one individual, Jan Telander, the Company’s CEO (the “Series C Stockholder”). As a result of the voting rights granted to the Series C Preferred, the Series C Stockholder holds by virtue of ownership of the Series C Preferred, and the ownership of other shares of capital stock of the Company, in excess of 51% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company.
As of April 1, 2019, there were issued and outstanding (i) 1,246,783,015 shares of common stock, (ii) 967,031 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (of which shares of Series A Preferred Stock 100,000 shares are beneficially owned by the Majority Shareholder and are not factored into the calculation of the voting power of the Series C Preferred Stock held by the Majority Shareholder) and (iii) 51 shares of Series C Preferred, which at April 1, 2019, held the voting power of 1,545,254,741 shares of common stock. Based on the foregoing, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Authorized Share Increase is approximately 3,085,077,452 shares. Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, at least a majority of the voting equity of the Company, or at least approximately 1,576,474,578 votes, are required to approve the Authorized Share Increase by written consent. The Majority Stockholder, which holds in the aggregate 1,600,420,936 votes through ownership of the Series C Preferred and other capital stock of the Company, or in excess of 51% of the voting equity of the Company, voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase, thereby satisfying the requirement under Section 228 of the DGCL that at least a majority of the voting equity vote in favor of a corporate action by written consent.
The following table sets forth the name of the Series C Stockholder, the number of shares of Series C Preferred held by the Series C Stockholder, the total number of votes that the Series C Stockholder voted in favor of the Authorized Share Increase and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting equity of the Company that voted in favor thereof.

AMENDMENT TO OUR COMPANY’S CERTIFCATE OF INCORPORATION
Increase in Authorized Common Stock
As of the April 24, 2019 record date, there were 1,246,783,015 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, in the capital of our Company. Each share of our company’s Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The board of directors of the Company on April 5, 2019, adopted a resolution approving and recommending to the Company’s stockholders for their approval an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to provide for an increase of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 1,250,000,000 to 3,000,000,000, and the Majority Stockholder approved the Authorized Share Increase on April 5, 2019. The board of directors recommends the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock since the Company’s has its remaining 3,216,985 authorized shares reserved for issuance to convertible note holders and therefore not available for issuances for any corporate purposes, including (i) to provide for conversion shares for our convertible preferred stock and convertible debt outstanding at the date of this Information Statement; (ii) to raise additional capital for the operations of the Company; and (iii) to make options and shares available to employees, future non-employee directors and consultants of the Company as an incentive for services provided to the Company. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock do not have preemptive rights.

| 4 |
As of April 24, 2019, with 1,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, we had 1,246,783,015 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Company has reserved the 3,216,985 unissued shares of Common Stock for possible issuance for issuance upon conversion of shares of convertible notes; accordingly -0- shares are available for issuance for any other purpose.
The price of our Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on April 23, 2019, closed at $0.0013. There are currently no set plans or arrangements relating to the possible issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock except for the issuance of shares under the terms of Series A, the outstanding convertible notes, warrants and for obligations to previous equity investors. We are not party to any agreements or understandings regarding any acquisitions, nor are any acquisitions under negotiation.
EFFECTIVENESS OF PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The amendment authorizing the increase in our Common Stock will not become effective until (i) we file the Information Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) at least 20 days after we deliver the Information Statement to our stockholders of record, and (iii) the Certificate of Amendment has been accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS
Pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, stockholders of our Common Stock are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to the authorization of the increase in our authorized Common Stock.
