| Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year |
Over two years ago and on March 26, 2021, Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. filed the information statement shown in Exhibit 99.1 with OTC Markets News and Disclosure Service (News) since the Company was a non-SEC reporting company and an” Alternate Reporting Company” regulated by OTC Markets at the time. Mass Megawatts became a SEC Reporting Company in 2022. The Information Statement was also sent to every shareholder including shares held with DTCC (CEDE and Company) in March 2021 as required under Massachusetts Business Law. The Information Statement was related to amendments to the articles of incorporation related to changing the name of the Company and increasing the authorized shares.
In an update on June 26,2023, the Company has nearly completed the process of changing the name of the Company from Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. to Mass Megawatts, Inc. The CUSIP number will remain the same. Since most of our business has been involved with solar energy related activity since 2014, we believe that changing our name from Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. to Mass Megawatts, Inc. is a reasonable action to reflect the business of the Company more accurately in recent years. At the same time, the Company will continue with wind power activities while most of our business will be primarily with solar power.
The filing of this 8K discloses information that was not previously disclosed on SEC EDGAR since the Company was not a SEC reporting company at any time during the year 2021.
The information in this Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly incorporated by specific reference in such a filing.

Information Statement of Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc.
Special Meeting of Mass Megawatts Stockholders to be held May 6,2021
NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION OF MASS MEGAWATTS STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal
Under Massachusetts law, our dissenting stockholders are not entitled to dissenter’s appraisal rights with respect to the proposed amendments to our articles of organization.
Majority Consent Action Number One
Changing the Name of the Company
Since the majority of our business has been involved with solar energy related activity since 2014, we believe that changing our name from Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc. to Mass Megawatts, Inc. is a reasonable action to more accurately reflect the business of the Company in recent years. At the same time, the Company will continue with wind power activities while most of our business will be primarily with solar power.
Majority Consent Action Number Two
Authorization of Additional Shares of Common Stock
An amendment to the Company’s articles of organization increasing our authorized Common Stock to 300,000,000 shares from 133,000,000 shares will enable us to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available for issuance. The principal purpose of the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation is to authorize additional shares of common stock, which will be available in the event the Board of Directors determines that it is necessary or appropriate to permit future stock splits in the form of stock dividends, to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, to acquire another company or its assets, to establish strategic relationships with corporate partners, to provide equity incentives to employees and officers or for other corporate purposes. The availability of additional shares of common stock is particularly important if the Board of Directors needs to undertake any of the foregoing actions on an expedited basis and thus to avoid the time and expense of seeking stockholder approval in connection with the contemplated issuance of common stock.
There are no present plans to issue any of the newly authorized shares for any purpose, including financing related activity and/or future acquisitions except for raising some funds from time to time through the issuance of common stock to maintain sufficient working capital needed to continue the operations of the Company until sufficient sales can produce the cash for the Company’s maintenance and growth.
The increase in authorized common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, the Board will have the authority to issue authorized common stock without requiring future stockholder approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law. To the extent that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, each new issuance will decrease the existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership and would be dilutive to the existing stockholders unless the issuance is on a pro rata basis to existing shareholders. The Company does not have current plans to issue shares that would not be dilutive on a pro rata basis to the existing shareholders. Examples of a pro rata basis issuance are stock dividends or stock splits.
The newly authorized shares of Common Stock will have the same rights and privileges as the presently authorized shares of our Common Stock. Our Common Stock does not entitle any holder to any dividend or preemption rights.
There can be no assurance as to the amount of consideration the Company would receive from any issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock nor can there be any assurance of what effect, if any, the proposed increase in the authorized shares of our Common Stock and any subsequent issuance will have on the market price of our Common Stock.
Since the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock will be increased to 300,000,000, the issuance in the future of such authorized shares may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights, of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Release No. 34-15230 of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any shareholder proposal that may be used as an anti-takeover device. However, the proposed increased in the authorized common stock is not the result of any such specific effort; rather, as indicated above, the purpose of the increase in the authorized common stock is to provide the Company’s management with the ability to issue shares for future acquisition, financing and operational possibilities, and not to construct or enable any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on behalf of the Company. While it is possible that management could use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders, the Company has no intent or plan to employ the additional unissued authorized shares as an anti-takeover device. Consequently, the increase in authorized common stock may make it more difficult for, prevent or deter a third party from acquiring control of the Company or changing its board of directors and management, as well as inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the Company’s shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. The Company currently has no such provisions in any of its governing documents.
As summarized below, provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and applicable provisions of the Massachusetts General Corporation Law may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of the Company or changing its board of directors and management. These provisions may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in the Company’s control or in its management.
Majority Consent Action Number Three
Granting Board of Directors Procedures Related to the Timing and Quantities of each Increase of Authorized Shares with the Maximum Amount Being Authorized by Shareholders Holding a Majority of Shares.
This action allows the Company to avoid any reasonable difficulty regarding the payment of taxes on the increase of authorized shares. If the company were required to pay the entire amount of taxes based of $1000 per million increase of authorized shares all at once, the taxes would amount to $167,000 based of an increase of authorized shares from 133 million shares to 300 million shares. This procedure has a positive impact on the day-to-day cash requirements of the Company when the taxes can be paid in several installments.
Miscellaneous
The Company requests brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this information statement to the beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Stock and the Company will, upon request, reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses in connection therewith.
Conclusion
This information statement is intended to provide our stockholders with the information required by the state and federal laws including related rules and regulations.
Approval of the proposed amendments is not required, and your vote is not being solicited in connection with these actions.
WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY, THE ATTACHED MATERIAL IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
As of the date of this Information Statement, management does not intend to present any other items of business and other than the three items described above.
