Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.

 

This registration statement relates to the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Santo Mining Corp. (the “Registrant”). The Registrant’s authorized share capital consists of 450,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 450,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value preferred stock. As of April 23, 2013, an aggregate of 65,396,269 shares of Common Stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

The holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our common stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our common stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
