INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(c) OF THE SECURITIES
EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND REGULATION 14C THEREUNDER
This Information Statement is being sent by first class mail to all record and beneficial owners of the common stock, $0.00001 par value per share and the preferred stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of KALLO INC., a Nevada corporation, which we refer to herein as "KALO," "company," "we," "our" or "us." The mailing date of this Information Statement is on or about March 1, 2015. The Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to notify our stockholders of actions we are taking pursuant to written consents of a majority of our stockholders in lieu of a meeting of stockholders.
On March 1, 2015, the record date for determining the identity of stockholders who are entitled to receive this Information Statement, we had 380,404,667 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 95,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding. Each share of Series A preferred stock had 100 votes. Accordingly, the combined voting power of all of the Series A preferred stock and common stock was 95,000,000,000 votes. The holders of the Series A preferred stock and the common stock vote as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders, subject to the common shares having 1 vote per share and the Series A Preferred shares, each having 100 votes per share.
The common stock and Series A preferred stock constitute the sole outstanding classes of KALO voting securities. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters submitted to stockholders. Each share of preferred stock entitles the holder to 100 votes on all matters submitted to stockholders. The preferred and common stock vote as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders.
NO VOTE OR OTHER CONSENT OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS IS BEING SOLICITED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
On November 18, 2014, certain stockholders who beneficially owned 95,000,000,000, or approximately 97.47% of the combined voting power of the common stock and Series A preferred stock consented in writing to amend our articles of incorporation and increase the authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share.
Also on November 18, 2014, our board of directors approved the above action, subject to approval by the stockholders. No other corporate actions to be taken by written consent were considered.
We are not aware of any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holders or otherwise, that is in opposition to matters of action being taken. In addition, pursuant to the laws of Nevada, the actions to be taken by majority written consent in lieu of a special stockholders meeting do not create appraisal or dissenters' rights.
Our board of directors determined to pursue stockholder action by majority written consent of those shares entitled to vote in an effort to reduce the costs and management time required to hold a special meeting of stockholders and to implement the above action in a timely manner.
Under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act, actions taken by written consent without a meeting of stockholders cannot become effective until 20 days after the mailing date of this definitive Information Statement, or as soon thereafter as is practicable. We are not seeking written consent from any stockholders other than as set forth above and our other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the actions taken. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained, and this Information Statement is furnished solely for the purpose of advising stockholders of the actions taken by written consent and giving stockholders advance notice of the actions taken.

SUMMARY
This summary sets forth certain selected information contained in this Information Statement that may be important to you to better understand transactions referred to in this summary. This summary also provides cross-references to the location in the Information Statement of the information summarized.
KALLO INC.
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 12, 2006 as Printing Components Inc. and then changed our name to Diamond Technologies Inc. and then to our current name of Kallo Inc. On December 11, 2009, we merged with Kallo Technologies Inc. (formerly known as Rophe Medical Technologies Inc.), an Ontario corporation and its shareholders (collectively "Rophe") wherein we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Rophe in exchange for 3,000,000 common shares and $1,200,000.
Upon acquiring Rophe, the focus of our business changed to developing medical information technology software.
We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our reports can be found on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Our common stock is listed for quotation on the OTC-QB under the trading symbol "KALO".
Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
Our board of directors has determined that it is in our best interest to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share to 1,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001.
OUTSTANDING VOTING SECURITIES AND CONSENTING STOCKHOLDER
As of February 2, 2015, we have 380,404,667 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 95,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock outstanding. Each share of Series A preferred stock had 100 votes. Accordingly, the combined voting power of all of the Series A preferred stock was 9,500,000,000 votes.

Because the action was approved by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of our voting power, no proxies are being solicited with this Information Statement.

Further, the holders of the Series A preferred stock and the Company's common stock vote as a single class on all matters submitted to stockholders, subject to the common shares having 1 vote per share and the Series A preferred shares having 100 votes per share.
INCREASE IN OUR AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
On November 18, 2014, our board of directors and principal stockholder holding a majority of our voting power approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share to 1,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001. On November 18, 2014, our board of directors unanimously approved the above proposal as well.
All shares of our common stock have equal rights and privileges with respect to voting, liquidation and dividend rights. Each share entitles the holder thereof to (i) one non-cumulative vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders; (ii) to participate equally and to receive any and all such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors; and (iii) to participate pro rata in any distribution of assets available for distribution upon liquidation. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock or any other securities. The common stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights.
All shares of our Series A preferred stock have equal rights and privileges with respect to voting, liquidation and dividend rights. Each share entitles the holder thereof to (i) 100 non-cumulative votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders; (ii) to participate equally with other Series A preferred shares and to receive any and all such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors; and (iii) to participate pro rata with other shares of Series A preferred stock prior to any distribution of assets available for distribution upon liquidation to common shares.

The Series A preferred stock and the common stock are not subject to redemption and carry no subscription or conversion rights.

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
In connection with the increase in our authorized shares of common stock, we will file with the State of Nevada an amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share to 1,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.00001. Preferred shares will not be affected by this increase in authorized shares of common stock.
Effect of the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock
Following the increase in authorized shares of common stock, we will have the corporate authority to issue 619,595,333 additional shares of common stock. 52,766,666 of these shares have been designated to be issued under our 2011 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan thereby leaving 566,828,667 shares of common stock available for issuance. These shares may be issued without stockholder approval at any time, in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The authorized and unissued shares may be issued for cash, to acquire property or for any other purpose that is deemed in the best interests of our company. Any decision to issue additional shares will reduce the percentage of our stockholders' equity held by our current stockholders and could dilute our net tangible book value. We have no immediate plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to use these authorized and unissued shares of common stock other than to issue the same upon the conversion of certain outstanding promissory to shares of common stock.
The following table reflects the authorized shares and outstanding shares of common stock before and after the increase in authorized shares of common stock:

52,766,666 shares of common stock are reserved for our 2011 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). These shares have not been issued and are not outstanding but merely designated for issuance pursuant to the Plan. |
Our authorized and unissued shares could possibly be used by management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt, delay or prevent changes of control, or changes in or removal of management. This could include transactions that are favored by a majority of stockholders, or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market price, or benefit stockholders in some other manner. Tender offers or other non-open market acquisitions of stock are usually made at prices above the prevailing market price. In addition, acquisitions of stock by persons attempting to acquire control through market purchases may cause the market price of the stock to reach levels that are higher than would otherwise be the case.
The available authorized and unissued shares of common stock gives the company the ability to cause a potential anti-takeover effect by creating potential dilution to the number of outstanding shares. Such dilution will cause a party attempting a takeover to be required to buy more shares of the company stock and to expend additional resources to accomplish a takeover.

Our stock transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 4045 South Spencer Street, Suite 403, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. Its telephone number is (702) 361-3033.
