The Information Statement further notifies our stockholders that, on April 28, 2021, the holders of our outstanding capital stock holding a majority of the voting power of the Corporation adopted a written consent authorizing our Board of Directors to reverse-split our outstanding common stock up to 20:1 at any time before April 28, 2022, if the Board deems it advisable to do so in connection with an effort to have the Corporation’s common stock listed on a national securities exchange (i.e., the NYSE or Nasdaq).

Concerning Corporate Action Authorized by Written Consent of Stockholders
No vote or other action of our 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.
INTRODUCTION
This Information Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Investview, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to advise them of the corporate action described herein, which has been authorized by the written consent of stockholders owning a majority of our voting stock. The consent that the Corporation has received constitutes the only stockholder approval required by Nevada Revised Statutes § 78.320.
This Information Statement will first be mailed to stockholders on or about [mailing date], 2021 and is being furnished for informational purposes only.
Under Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of stockholders of a Nevada corporation may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power.
Our Board of Directors has determined that the close of business on [record date], 2021 was the record date (“Record Date”) for the stockholders entitled to notice of the actions authorizing the Board amend our articles of incorporation to combine up to 20 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, into one share of validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable common stock, par value $0.001, at any time prior to April 28, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”).
On April 28, 2021, stockholders owning of record 1,580,313,597 shares of Corporation’s stock, representing approximately 52.90% of our outstanding shares of voting stock as of the Record Date, adopted and delivered to us a written consent authorizing and approving the Reverse Split. No stockholder meeting was required, and no further vote or action of our stockholders is required to approve this action.
On April 28, 2021, our Board authorized management to deliver this Information Statement. You are being provided with notice of the approval of the corporate action by less than unanimous written consent of our stockholders. However, under Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act, the corporate action will not be effective until 20 days after this Information Statement has first been sent to stockholders.
Our executive offices are located at 234 Industrial Way West, Suite A202 Eatontown, NJ 07724 and our telephone number is (732) 889-4300.

ABOUT THE INFORMATION STATEMENT
Who is entitled to notice?
Every holder of each outstanding share of common stock as of record on the Record Date is entitled to notice of each matter to be voted upon pursuant to consents or authorizations.
What constitutes the voting shares of our Corporation?
As of April 28, 2021, 2,987,481,329 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. Each share of common stock outstanding entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the stockholders.
What vote is required to approve the action?
The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock was required for approval of the Reverse Split.
What corporate matters did the stockholders vote on and how did they vote?
Under Nevada corporate law, all the activities requiring stockholder approval may be taken by obtaining the written consent and approval of more than 50% of the holders of voting stock in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders. No action by the minority stockholders in connection with the reverse split is required. On April 28, 2021, our stockholders holding 1,580,313,597 shares, or 52.90%, of our common stock, acted by written consent to approve authorizing the Board of Directors to effect the Reverse Split.
What is the reason for the Reverse Split?
The written consent of the stockholders authorizes the Board to effect a reverse split of the Corporation’s common stock of up to twenty to one (20:1) at any time before April 28, 2022, if the Board deems it advisable to do so in connection with an effort to have the Corporation’s common stock listed on a national securities exchange (i.e., the NYSE or Nasdaq).
CORPORATE ACTION
The Reverse Split
The written consent of the stockholders authorizes our Board of Directors to effect a reverse split of the Corporation’s common stock of up to twenty to one (20:1) at any time before April 28, 2022, if the Board deems it advisable to do so in connection with an effort to have the Corporation’s common stock listed on a national securities exchange (i.e., the NYSE or Nasdaq). The authorization will become effective 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement.
Potential Anti-takeover Effect
Although the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our board of directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of us with another entity), the resulting increase in our available shares of common stock is not part of such a plan. Nevertheless, management could use the additional shares that will be available following the reverse split to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction to acquire control of us. Although our board of directors has no present intention of doing so, our authorized but unissued common stock could be issued in one or more transactions that would make a takeover of us more difficult or costly and, therefore, less likely.
After the corporate action is effective, generally, no stockholder approval would be necessary for the issuance of all or any portion of the additional shares of common stock unless required by any law, rules, or regulations to which we are subject.
Depending upon the consideration per share received by us for any subsequent issuance of common stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on those stockholders who paid a higher consideration per share for their stock. Also, future issuances of common stock will increase the number of outstanding shares, thereby decreasing the percentage ownership (for voting, distributions, and all other purposes) represented by existing shares of common stock. Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive rights to acquire any additional securities issued by us.
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR
IN OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No person who has served as our officer or director since the beginning of our last fiscal year or any associates of such person have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the corporate action, other than the interest held by such persons through their respective stock ownership of the shares of our capital stock set forth above in the subsection entitled “Principal Stockholders.”
DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS
Only one Information Statement to security holders is being delivered to multiple security holders sharing an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the security holders. Upon written or oral request, a separate copy of an Information Statement can be provided to security holders at a shared address.
