Laredo voluntarily deregistered its common stock with the SEC, citing only 88 holders of record, ending its reporting obligations and closing out its public-company history without the Pony Mountain acquisition ever being reported as completed.
FINRA approved a drastic 1-for-500 reverse stock split, undoing the 2012 forward split and signaling continued instability in Laredo's share structure as the Pony Mountain plan struggled to gain traction.
Laredo further increased its authorized common stock to 3 billion shares, continuing the share-structure expansion begun in September 2013 (again mislabeled in the company's own filing as an Item 5.02 director/officer change rather than the Item 5.03 articles amendment it actually is).
Laredo filed a further registration statement for shares issuable under its 2014 equity incentive plan, incorporating its auditor's consent to reuse the FY2013 financial statements.
Laredo amended its FY2013 annual report to attach additional corporate-governance and consent exhibits, without changing the reported financial results.
Laredo's FY2013 annual report showed accumulated losses widening to $356,345, driven largely by Pony Mountain acquisition costs, including new shares issued to Magna Management as consideration for Magna's $240,000 payment toward the property's purchase price.
Laredo issued a news release describing early-stage ore-hauling and testing work at Pony Mountain, indicating on-the-ground activity had begun at the property under a state environmental permit.
Laredo amended its articles of incorporation to raise authorized common stock to 2 billion shares and create four new classes of preferred stock — a dilution-enabling step taken while building out the Pony Mountain deal (the company's own filing mislabeled this an Item 5.02 director/officer change; it is actually an Item 5.03 articles amendment).
Laredo formalized its 2012 preliminary agreement with Magna Management, taking on Magna's contractual buyer rights to the roughly 4,000-acre Pony Mountain Gold property in Montana under an August 2013 purchase contract with the underlying sellers.
Laredo amended its FY2012 annual report to attach newly adopted corporate-governance exhibits, including an audit committee charter, without changing any reported financial results.
Laredo's FY2012 annual report, filed shortly after the change in control, showed accumulated losses growing to $120,470 and continuing going-concern doubt, still reflecting the legacy ABR Claims business ahead of the pivot to Pony Mountain.
Laredo signed a 60-day exclusive right to negotiate buying Magna Management Ltd.'s interest in the Pony Mountain Gold property in Montana — its first concrete lead on a new business after shedding its Nevada mineral claims.
Laredo's new management authorized a 50-for-1 forward stock split and increased authorized shares fiftyfold to 4.5 billion, a share-structure overhaul typical of preparing a cleaned-out shell company for a new business direction.
Laredo's founder Ruth Cruz Santos sold her controlling 2,000,000-share stake to Robert Gardner for $20,000 and resigned as officer and director, while Laredo simultaneously transferred its ABR mineral-claims subsidiary back to Santos in exchange for cancelling roughly $86,500 of loans she was owed — leaving Laredo an asset-free shell under entirely new management.
