This
Information Statement contains information related to certain corporate actions
of United EcoEnergy Corp., a Nevada corporation, and is expected to be mailed on
or about October 29, 2009 to all holders of the voting capital stock of the
Company, which includes all holders of common stock, par value $0.001 per share

ABOUT
THE INFORMATION STATEMENT
What
Is the Purpose of the Information Statement?
This
Information Statement is being provided pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to notify our shareholders, as of the close of
business on October 21, 2009 (the “Record Date”), of shareholder action in lieu
of an Annual Meeting of Shareholders, taken pursuant to the written consent of
certain shareholders, referred to as the consenting shareholders. Specifically,
the consenting shareholders have approved the following proposals: (i) the
election of five members to the Board of Directors of the Company, to serve
until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are duly
elected; (ii) the decision of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of
the Company to appoint Berman, Hopkins, Wright & LaHam, CPAs &
Associates, LLP, as the independent auditors for the Company for the year
commencing January 1, 2009. The consenting shareholders
hold shares of Common Stock and are entitled to cast a number of votes equal to
60.2 % of the total voting capital stock on all matters submitted to the
shareholders for approval, including the matters set forth in this Information
Statement.
Who
Is Entitled to Notice?
All
holders of shares of Common Stock of record on the close of business on the
record date are entitled to notice of each matter approved by the majority
shareholders. Under Nevada corporate law, all the activities requiring
shareholder approval may be taken by obtaining the written consent and approval
of more than fifty percent (50%) of the holders of voting stock in lieu of a
meeting of the shareholders. Because the majority shareholders are entitled to
cast a number of shares equal to 60.2% of the total voting stock of the Company,
no action by any other shareholders in connection with the proposals is
required.
What
Matters Did the Consenting Shareholders Approve?
The
consenting shareholders, who hold 60.2 % of the total voting capital stock of
the Company, hold a majority of the total voting capital stock required to vote
on each matter. They have consented to the following matters:
For the
election of the following five (5) nominees as directors of the Company until
the next Annual Meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors
shall be elected and qualified: Kelly T. Hickel, Richard D. Rifenburgh, Boris
Rubizhevsky, Michael Weichnik and Jan E. Chason.
For the
ratification of the decision by our Audit Committee to retain Berman Hopkins
Wright & Laham, CPAs, LLP as our independent registered accounting firm for
the fiscal year that commenced on January 1, 2009
What
Actions Did the Board Of Directors Take?
The Board
of Directors has approved each item in this Information Statement.
What
Vote Is Required to Approve Each Proposal?
Each
proposal required the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of our
common stock entitled to vote, voting as a single class.
Are
there dissenters’ rights?
There are no dissenter’s rights
available to any shareholder with respect to the matters consented to by a
majority of the shareholders.
INFORMATION
ON THE CONSENTING SHAREHOLDERS
A vote by
the holders of at least a majority of our total voting capital stock is required
to affect each of the actions described in this Information Statement. Each
share of Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote.
As of the
Record Date, we had 66,124,415 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
including 20,000,000 shares issued and held in escrow under the terms of the
agreement for the acquisition of certain assets of Epic Wound Care, LLC .
Therefore, a majority of the 66,124,415 total votes represented by the
outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company is required to pass the
shareholder resolutions.
Four
shareholders who hold 60.2 % of the shares of Common Stock have consented to the
proposals, and the number of shares of Common Stock within their voting control

right. The inclusion in the above table of those shares, however, does not
constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect
beneficial owner.
