INFORMATION STATEMENT

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND

YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

This Information Statement is first being mailed on or about December 28, 2012 to the holders of record of the outstanding common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of Cactus Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), as of the close of business on December 27, 2012 (the “Record Date”), pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act “). This Information Statement relates to a written consent in lieu of a meeting, dated December 18, 2012, (the “Written Consent”) of the stockholder of the Company owning at least a majority of the outstanding votes of Common Stock as of the Record Date (the “Majority Stockholder”). Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Information Statement to “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are references to Cactus Ventures, Inc.

The Written Consent approved (i) a change in the name of the Company from Cactus Ventures, Inc. to Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Name Change”); and (ii) a change in the state of incorporation of the Company from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware by merging the Company into Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a company that will be formed and incorporated in Delaware (the “Domicile Change”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Plan of Merger”), in connection with which the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Delaware corporation shall become the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company.

The Written Consent constitutes the consent of a majority of the combined total number of shares of outstanding Common Stock, and is sufficient under the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, and the Company’s Bylaws to approve the Name Change and the Domicile Change. Accordingly, the Name Change and the Domicile Change are not presently being submitted to the Company’s other stockholders for a vote. The Name Change and the Domicile Change will become effective upon the filing of Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on or about January 15, 2013.

We are currently in discussions with Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Old Actinium”) regarding a possible business combination involving the Company and Old Actinium, under which the shareholders of Old Actinium will deliver up to 100% of their issued and outstanding stock in exchange for 99% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, with Old Actinium becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Proposed Business Combination”). At this stage, no definitive terms have been agreed to, and neither party is currently bound to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination. If we go through with the Proposed Business Combination, Old Actinium will change its name, and we will then form a new Delaware entity with the name Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“New Actinium”), which the Company will then merge with pursuant to the Plan of Merger to effect the Name Change and Domicile Change, with New Actinium as the surviving corporation. If the parties determine not to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination, we will not go through with the Name Change, the Domicile Change, or the merger effecting the Name Change and the Domicile Change (the “Merger”).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A NOTICE OF A MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS AND NO STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING WILL BE HELD TO CONSIDER THE MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS BEING FURNISHED TO YOU SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF INFORMING STOCKHOLDERS OF THE MATTERS DESCRIBED HEREIN PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(c) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT AND THE REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER, INCLUDING REGULATION 14C.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Information Statement is being first mailed on or about December 28, 2012, to stockholders of the Company by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) to provide material information regarding corporate actions that have been approved by the Written Consent of the Majority Stockholder. Only one copy of this Information Statement is being delivered to two or more stockholders who share an address unless we have received contrary instruction from one or more of such stockholders. We will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Information Statement to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered. If you would like to request additional copies of the Information Statement, or if in the future you would like to receive multiple copies of information statements or proxy statements, or annual reports, or, if you are currently receiving multiple copies of these documents and would, in the future, like to receive only a single copy, please so instruct us by writing to the corporate secretary at the Company’s executive offices at the address specified above.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE OR A PROXY STATEMENT, BUT RATHER AN INFORMATION STATEMENT DESIGNED TO INFORM YOU OF THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S NAME CHANGE AND CHANGE OF THE STATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY FROM NEVADA TO DELAWARE.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them.

AUTHORIZATION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS

Under the NRS and the Company’s Bylaws, any action that can be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that will be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing. The approval of the Name Change and the Domicile Change requires the affirmative vote or written consent of the combined majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Each share of Common Stock will entitle the holder to one vote per share. On the record date we had outstanding 11,155,008 shares of Common Stock.

On December 18, 2012, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted resolutions approving the Name Change and Domicile Change and recommended that our stockholders ratify the Name Change and approve the Plan of Merger as set forth in Appendix A. In connection with the adoption of these resolutions, the Board of Directors elected to seek the written consent of the Majority Stockholder in order to reduce associated costs and implement the proposals in a timely manner.

Our Board of Directors is currently in discussions with Old Actinium regarding the Proposed Business Combination, under which the shareholders of Old Actinium will deliver up to 100% of their issued and outstanding stock in exchange for 99% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, with Old Actinium becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At this stage, no definitive terms have been agreed to, and neither party is currently bound to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination. However, in order to facilitate the Proposed Business Combination, we are taking the steps necessary to effect the Name Change and Domicile Change, including the filing and distribution of this Information Statement. If we do not proceed with the Proposed Business Combination, we will not go through with the Name Change, the Domicile Change, or the Merger.

CONSENTING STOCKHOLDER

The Majority Stockholder, who is also the sole officer and director of the Company, owns 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 89.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.

Accordingly, the Company has obtained all necessary corporate approvals in connection with the adoption of the Name Change and the Domicile Change. The Company is not seeking written consent from any other stockholders, and the other stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote with respect to the actions described in this Information Statement. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained. This Information Statement is furnished solely for the purposes of advising stockholders of the action taken by written consent and giving stockholders notice of such actions taken as required by the Exchange Act.

The Company may, when permissible following the expiration of the 10-day period mandated by the NRS, the 20-day period mandated by Rule 14C, and the 30-day period afforded stockholders exercising dissenters rights, execute the Plan of Merger and file a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware and Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect the Name Change and the Domicile Change. The last date on which these documents are filed in the respective states is the effective date of the Domicile Change (the “Effective Date”) which, if it occurs, will be on or after January 15, 2013. The name change will be effected in the State of Nevada following the 10-day period mandated by the NRS and the 20-day period mandated by Rule 14C.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY’S CAPITAL STOCK

Our authorized capital currently consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”). At the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had 11,155,008 shares of Common Stock and 0 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.

Each share of Common Stock entitles its record holder to one (1) vote per share. Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting, conversion, redemption rights or preemptive rights to acquire additional shares. The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limits imposed by relevant Nevada laws, to issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series within a class upon authority of the Board of Directors without further stockholder approval.

CHANGE IN OUR STATE OF INCORPORATION

FROM NEVADA TO DELAWARE

On December 18, 2012, our Board of Directors adopted resolutions, subject to stockholder approval, to change the Company’s state of incorporation from Nevada to Delaware. In order to accomplish the change in the state of incorporation, the Company will merge with and into a corporation which has yet to be formed, but will be incorporated in Delaware specifically for that purpose under the name “New Actinium, Inc.” (“New Actinium”). Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Merger, New Actinium will be the surviving corporation and the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock will automatically be converted into shares of New Actinium common stock at the rate of one share of New Actinium common stock for each one share of the Company’s Common Stock. The form of the Plan of Merger of is attached hereto as Appendix A. Upon completion of the Merger, if the Merger is effected, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of New Actinium will become the governing instruments of the Company and the changes are more thoroughly discussed below.

There is currently a corporation in Delaware with the name Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Old Actinium”). However, if the Proposed Business Combination is effected, Old Actinium will change its name and we will create New Actinium and effect the Merger, Name Change, and Domicile Change soon thereafter.

Reasons for the Domicile Change

We are currently in discussions with Old Actinium regarding the Proposed Business Combination involving the Company and Old Actinium, under which the shareholders of Old Actinium will deliver up to 100% of their issued and outstanding stock in exchange for 99% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company, with Old Actinium becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At this stage, no definitive terms have been agreed to, and neither party is currently bound to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination. As Old Actinium is incorporated in Delaware and wishes to remain a subsidiary of an entity incorporated in Delaware, they require that the Company reincorporate in Delaware before entering into the Proposed Business Combination. Accordingly, the Company is taking the steps necessary to effect the Domicile Change to facilitate these discussions. However, if the parties determine not to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination, we will not go through with the Name Change, the Domicile Change, or the Merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there are a number of reasons why Delaware is an attractive state for the incorporation of the Company and why the Domicile Change is in the interests of the Company’s stockholders.

For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that state. To advance that policy, Delaware has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that are updated and revised periodically to meet changing business needs. As a result, many major corporations have initially chosen Delaware for their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Delaware. Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues. In doing so, Delaware courts have created a substantial body of case law construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. Our Board of Directors believes that this environment provides greater predictability with respect to corporate legal affairs and allows a corporation to be managed more efficiently.

The Delaware General Corporations Law (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to adopt a number of measures, through amendment of the corporate certificate of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise, designed to reduce a corporation’s vulnerability to unsolicited takeover attempts. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to such defensive measures with respect to the conduct of the board under the business judgment rule with respect to unsolicited takeover attempts. Our current Articles of Incorporation do not include such “anti-takeover” provisions. Our Board of Directors has no present intention following the Domicile Change in Delaware to further amend the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws to include any additional provisions which might deter an unsolicited takeover attempt. However, in the discharge of its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders, our Board of Directors may consider in the future certain anti-takeover strategies which may enhance the board’s ability to negotiate with an unsolicited bidder.

In the opinion of our management, such latitude affords Delaware corporations more opportunities to raise capital. The procedures and degree of stockholder approval required for Delaware corporations for the authorization of additional shares of stock, and for approval of certain mergers and other transactions, present fewer practical impediments to the capital raising process than those which apply to Nevada corporations. For example, a Delaware corporation has greater flexibility in declaring dividends, which can aid a corporation in marketing various classes or series of dividend paying securities. Under Delaware law, dividends may be paid out of surplus, or if there is no surplus, out of net profits from the corporation’s previous fiscal year or the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared, or both, so long as there remains in the stated capital account an amount equal to the par value represented by all shares of the corporation’s stock, if any, having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid by the corporation unless after giving effect to the distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or (unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation permit otherwise) the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities, plus amounts payable in dissolution to holders of shares carrying a liquidation preference over the class of shares to which a dividend is declared. These and other differences between Nevada’s and Delaware’s corporate laws are more fully explained below.

Certain Effects of the Change in State of Incorporation

The Domicile Change will effect a change in the Company’s legal domicile; however, the Domicile Change will not result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of offices or facilities, number of employees, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Domicile Change, which are immaterial). Management, including the director and officer, will remain the same in connection with the Domicile Change and will assume identical positions with New Actinium. There will be no substantive change in the employment agreements for executive officers or in other direct or indirect interests of the current directors or executive officers as a result of the Domicile Change. Upon the effective time of the Domicile Change, each stockholder’s shares of Common Stock will be converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of New Actinium.

As previously noted, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of New Actinium will be the governing instruments of the surviving corporation following the merger with the Company, resulting in some changes from the current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, which are primarily procedural in nature, such as a change in the registered office and agent of the Company from an office and agent in Nevada to an office and agent in Delaware. There are also material differences between the DGCL, and NRS. Certain changes to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as well as the material differences between Delaware and Nevada law are discussed below. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Delaware and Nevada corporate laws and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of New Actinium, copies of which are included herewith as Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively. For ease of comparison, the Company’s current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are included herewith as Appendix D and Appendix E, respectively.

Changes to Articles of Incorporation


(a)	No Restrictions on Control Share Acquisitions

The Certificate of Incorporation of New Actinium expressly opts out of Title 8, Chapter 1, §203 of the DGCL which places restrictions on control share acquisitions. The provision under Nevada law placing restrictions on business combinations with interested stockholders, under which the Company was previously governed, is addressed below.


(b)	No Restrictions on Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders

The Certificate of Incorporation of New Actinium expressly opts out of Title 8, Chapter 1, §203 of the DGCL which places restrictions on business combinations with interested stockholders. The provision under Nevada law placing restrictions on business combinations with interested stockholders, under which the Company was previously governed, is addressed below.

(c)

Change in Par Value

The Certificate of Incorporation of New Actinium provides for authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, none of which have not been designated or issued, and which shares constitute what is commonly referred to as “blank check” preferred stock, and which do not have any rights, privileges or preferences set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of New Actinium. The par value was reduced from $0.01 to $0.001 to reduce the potential Delaware franchise tax liability for New Actinium and to give it greater flexibility in the issuance shares of capital stock.

Changes to Bylaws


(a)	Annual Meeting

The Bylaws of Incorporation of New Actinium give the Board of Directors sole discretion to determine that the annual meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication. The Board of Directors may adopt guidelines and procedures governing the participation of stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communication.


(b)	Quorum

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that when a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given.


(c)	Proxy

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that no proxies shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.


(d)	Resignation

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide for resignation of directors through electronic transmission.


(e)	Notice of Special Meeting

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide for notice of a special meeting of directors through electronic transmission.


(f)	Conduct of Business

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that action may be taken by the Board of Directors without a meeting if all members thereof consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission.


(g)	Loans

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that the corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit, arrange for the extension of credit, or renew an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director, executive officer (or equivalent), or control person.


(h)	Action With Respect to Securities of Other Corporations

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that, unless otherwise directed by the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer has power to vote and otherwise act on behalf of the corporation, in person or by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders of or with respect to any action of stockholders of any other corporation in which New Actinium may hold securities and otherwise to exercise any and all rights and powers which it may possess by reason of its ownership of securities in such other corporation. The chief executive officer may delegate the foregoing rights to another executive officer of the corporation.


(i)	Indemnification and Expenses

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized under Delaware law. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.


(j)	Indemnification and Determination by Board of Directors

The Bylaws New Actinium provide that any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of Chapter 1, Delaware General Corporate Law, §145 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of §145. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination:

By a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum; or

By a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; or

If there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

By the stockholders.


(k)	Indemnification Not Exclusive of Other Rights

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that the indemnification provided by the Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.


(l)	Certificated and Uncertificated Shares

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide that the shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairperson or vice-chairperson of the Board of Directors, or the president or vice-president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of such corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. New Actinium shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.


(m)	Waiver

The Bylaws of New Actinium provide for waiver of notice through electronic transmission.

Change from Delaware Law to Nevada Law

As a result of the Domicile Change, the Company will be governed by Delaware corporation laws. The following chart summarizes some of the material differences between the DGCL and NRS. This chart does not address each difference between Delaware law and Nevada law, but focuses on some of those differences which the Company believes are most relevant to the existing stockholders. This chart is not intended as an exhaustive list of all differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Delaware and Nevada law.


Delaware		Nevada

*Removal of Directors*

The DGCL permits the holders of a majority of shares of a corporation without a classified board then entitled to vote in an election of directors, to remove directors, with or without cause. The Company’s current Bylaws do not expressly address removal of directors.		Under Nevada law, any one or all of the directors of a corporation may be removed by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of a corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. Nevada does not distinguish between removal of directors with or without cause. Because the Company’s current Bylaws do not expressly address removal of directors, Nevada law governs which provides that any director may be removed either for or without cause by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote; provided, however, that notice of intention to act upon such matter shall have been given in the notice calling such meeting.

*Dividends and other Distributions*

Section 170 of the DGCL permits the directors of a corporation, subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, to declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock, either (1) out of its surplus, as computed in accordance with the DGCL, or (2) in case there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. But such dividends cannot be declared out of net profits if the capital of the corporation, has diminished by depreciation in the value of its property, or by losses or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Section 174 of the DGCL also imposes on any director under whose administration distributions are declared in violation of the foregoing provision, personal liability to a corporation’s creditors in the event of its dissolution or insolvency, up to the full amount of the unlawful distribution, for a period of 6 years following a dividend declaration, unless such director’s dissent was recorded in the minutes of the proceedings approving the distribution.		Nevada law prohibits distributions to stockholders when the distributions would (i) render the corporation unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and (ii) render the corporation’s total assets less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Section 78.300 of the NRS imposes on any director under whose administration distributions are declared in violation of the foregoing provision, personal liability to a corporation’s creditors in the event of its dissolution or insolvency, up to the full amount of the unlawful distribution, for a period of 3 years following a dividend declaration, unless such director’s dissent was recorded in the minutes of the proceedings approving the distribution.


Delaware		Nevada

*Limitation of Liability*

A Delaware corporation is permitted to adopt provisions in its certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of a director to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such liability does not arise from certain proscribed conduct, including breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or liability to the corporation based on unlawful dividends or distributions or improper personal benefit. New Actinium’s Certificate of Incorporation currently limit the liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.		Under Nevada law, unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that: (a) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (b) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer will be personally liable to the corporation or any of its stockholders for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty except (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) for the payment of dividends in violation of NRS Section 78.300.

*Indemnification*

Under the DGCL, the indemnification of directors and officers is authorized to cover judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses arising out of non-derivative actions where the director or officer acted in good faith and in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in criminal cases, where the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Unless limited or denied by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, indemnification is required to the extent of a director’s or officer’s successful defense. Additionally, under the DGCL, a corporation may reimburse directors and officers for expenses incurred in a derivative action.		In suits that are not brought by or in the right of the corporation, Nevada law permits a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents for attorney’s fees and other expenses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement. The person seeking indemnity may recover as long as he acted in good faith and believed his actions were either in the best interests of or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Similarly, the person seeking indemnification must not have had any reason to believe his conduct was unlawful.

New Actinium’s Bylaws indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.		In derivative suits, a corporation may indemnify its agents for expenses that the person actually and reasonably incurred. A corporation may not indemnify a person if the person was adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court otherwise orders. No corporation may indemnify a party unless it makes a determination, through its stockholders, directors or independent counsel, that the indemnification is proper. Article VI of the Company’s Bylaws currently indemnifies its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. However, the Company has included undertakings in various registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that in the event a claim for indemnification is asserted by a director or officer relating to liabilities under the Securities Act, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether indemnification would be against public policy and will be governed by any final adjudication of such issue.


Delaware		Nevada

*Increasing or Decreasing Authorized Shares*

Delaware law contains no such similar provision.		Nevada law allows the board of directors of a corporation, unless restricted by the articles of incorporation, to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in the class or series of the corporation’s shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of any such class or series of the corporation’s shares without a vote of the stockholders, so long as the action taken does not change or alter any right or preference of the stockholder and does not include any provision or provisions pursuant to which only money will be paid or script issued to stockholders who hold 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the affected class and series, and who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractions of shares in exchange for the cancellation of all of their outstanding shares.

*Corporate Opportunity*

Delaware law provides that contracts or transactions between a corporation and one or more of its officers or directors or an entity in which they have an interest is not void or voidable solely because of such interest or the participation of the director or officer in a meeting of the board or a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction if: (i) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board or the committee, and the board or the committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested directors; (ii) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by a vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.		Under Nevada law, a director breaches her duty of loyalty to the corporation if the director takes a business opportunity that is within the scope of the corporation’s potential business for himself or presents it to another party without first giving the corporation an opportunity to fairly consider the business opportunity. All such opportunities should be presented first to the corporation and fully considered. However, a contract or other transaction is not void or voidable solely because the contract or transaction is between a Nevada corporation and its director if the fact of financial interest is known to the board of directors or committee, and the board or committee authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction in good faith by a vote sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote of the interested director, and the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation at the time it is authorized.

*Expiration of Proxies*

Section 212 of the DGCL provides that the appointment of a proxy with no expiration date may be valid for up to 3 years, but that a proxy may be provided for a longer period. Furthermore, a duly executed proxy may be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, it is coupled with an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally, sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.		Nevada law provides that proxies may not be valid for more than 6 months, unless the proxy is coupled with an interest or the stockholder specifies that the proxy is to continue in force for a longer period.

*Interested Stockholder Combinations*

Delaware has a business combination statute, set forth in §203 of the DGCL, which provides that any person who acquires 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock (thereby becoming an “interested stockholder”) may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the target corporation for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the board of directors of the corporation has approved, prior to the interested stockholder’s acquisition of stock, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, that person owns at least 85% of the corporation’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction is commenced (excluding shares owned by persons who are both directors and officers and shares owned by employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer) , or (iii) the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the affirmative vote (at an annual or special meeting and not by written consent) of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.		Section 78.438 of the NRS prohibits a Nevada corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder (any entity or person beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons) for a period of three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless prior to that date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. Section 78.439 provides that business combinations after the three year period following the date that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder may also be prohibited unless approved by the corporation’s directors or other stockholders or unless the price and terms of the transaction meet the criteria set forth in the statute.

For purposes of determining whether a person is the “owner” of 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL, ownership is defined broadly to include the right, directly or indirectly, to acquire the stock or to control the voting or disposition of the stock. A business combination is also defined broadly o include (i) mergers and sales or other dispositions of 10% or more of the assets of a corporation with or to an interested stockholder, (ii) certain transactions resulting in the issuance or transfer to the interested stockholder of any stock of the corporation or its subsidiaries, (iii) certain transactions which would result in increasing the proportionate share of the stock of a corporation or its subsidiaries owned by the interested stockholder, and (iv) receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit (except proportionately as a stockholder) of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits.

These restrictions placed on interested stockholders by Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) if the corporation’s original certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 or (ii) if the corporation, by action of its stockholders, adopts an amendment to its bylaws or certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203, provided that such an amendment is approved by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and that such an amendment will not be effective until 12 months after its adoption (except for limited circumstances where effectiveness will occur immediately) and will not apply to any business combination with a person who became an interested stockholder at or prior to such adoption.


Delaware		Nevada

New Actinium’s Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by that statute.

*Control Share Acquisitions*

Delaware’s control share acquisition statute generally provides that shares acquired in a “control share acquisition” will not possess any voting rights unless either the board of directors approves the acquisition or such voting rights are approved by a majority of the corporation’s voting shares, excluding interested shares. Interested shares are those held by a corporation’s officers and inside directors and by the acquiring party. A “control share acquisition” is an acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person of ownership of, or the power to direct the exercise of voting power with respect to, issued and outstanding “control shares” of a publicly held Delaware corporation. “Control shares” are shares that, except for Delaware’s control share acquisition statute, would have voting power that, when added to all other shares that can be voted by the acquiring party, would entitle the acquiring party, immediately after the acquisition of such shares, directly or indirectly, to exercise voting power in the election of directors within any of the following ranges: (1) at least 20% but less than 33 1/3% of all voting power; (2) at least 33 1/3% but less than a majority of all voting power; or (3) a majority or more of all voting power. New Actinium’s Certificate of Incorporation opts out of these provisions and so they are not applicable to the Company.		Sections 78.378 through 78.3793 of the NRS limit the voting rights of certain acquired shares in a corporation. The provisions generally apply to any acquisition of outstanding voting securities of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of which are Nevada residents, and conducts business in Nevada (an “issuing corporation”) resulting in ownership of one of the following categories of an issuing corporation’s then outstanding voting securities: (i) 20% or more but less than 23%; (ii) 23% or more but less than 50%; or (iii) 50% or more. The securities acquired in such acquisition are denied voting rights unless a majority of the security holders approve the granting of such voting rights. Unless an issuing corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws then in effect provide otherwise: (i) voting securities acquired are also redeemable in part or in whole by an issuing corporation at the average price paid for the securities within 30 days if the acquiring person has not given a timely information statement to an issuing corporation or if the stockholders vote not to grant voting rights to the acquiring person’s securities, and (ii) if outstanding securities and the security holders grant voting rights to such acquiring person, then any security holder who voted against granting voting rights to the acquiring person may demand the purchase from an issuing corporation, for fair value, all or any portion of his securities.

*Filing Fees*

Delaware imposes annual franchise tax fees on all corporations incorporated in Delaware. The annual fee ranges from a nominal fee to a maximum of $180,000, based on an equation consisting of the number of shares authorized, the number of shares outstanding and the net assets of the corporation. Based upon the financial statements of the Company at June 30, 2011, assuming no change in the number of outstanding shares or assets, the Company’s annual fee for the first full year would be approximately $40,000.		Nevada charges corporations incorporated in Nevada nominal annual corporate license renewal fees, and does not impose any franchise fees on corporations.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of New Actinium

The SEC’s Release No. 34-15230 requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any stockholder proposal that may be used as an anti-takeover device. Certain provisions of Delaware’s corporation law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of New Actinium may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal that a stockholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.

Change in Capitalization. The Certificate of Incorporation of New Actinium provides for authorized capital of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, none of which have not been designated or issued, and which shares constitute what is commonly referred to as “blank check” preferred stock, and which do not have any rights, privileges or preferences set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of New Actinium. The issuance of additional common stock and preferred stock may make it more difficult for, or prevent or deter a third party from acquiring control of the New Actinium or changing its board of directors and management, as well as, inhibit fluctuations in the market price of the New Actinium shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Specifically, the ability to issue such “blank check” preferred stock could give the board of directors the ability to hinder or discourage any attempt to gain control of the New Actinium by a merger, tender offer at a control premium price, proxy contest or otherwise.

Limitation of Director Liability. The Certificate of Incorporation of New Actinium limits the liability of its directors and officers to us or our stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Specifically, New Actinium is permitted to adopt provisions in its certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of a director to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such liability does not arise from certain proscribed conduct, including breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or liability to the corporation based on unlawful dividends or distributions or improper personal benefit.

Indemnification Arrangements. The Bylaws of New Actinium indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The indemnification of directors and officers is authorized to cover judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses arising out of non-derivative actions where the director or officer acted in good faith and in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in criminal cases, where the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is required to the extent of a director’s or officer’s successful defense.

While it is possible that the management could use these provisions to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction providing an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the stockholders, the Company did not intend to construct or enable any anti-takeover defense or mechanism on its behalf. The Company has no intent or plan to employ these provisions as anti-takeover devices and it does not have any plans or proposals to adopt any other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

Termination, Abandonment or Amendment of the Plan of Merger

If we go through with the Proposed Business Combination, we anticipate that the Domicile Change will become effective upon the filing of Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State, on or after January 15, 2013. However, at any time before the Effective Date, the Plan of Merger may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned for any reason whatsoever by the Board of Directors of either the Company or New Actinium, or by both, notwithstanding the approval of the Majority Stockholder. The Boards of Directors of the Company and New Actinium may amend the Plan of Merger at any time prior to filing it (or a certificate in lieu thereof) with the Secretaries of State of the States of Nevada and Delaware, provided that an amendment made subsequent to the adoption of the Plan of Merger by the stockholders of either corporation cannot: (i) alter or change the amount or kind of shares and/or rights to be received in exchange for or on conversion of all or any of the shares or any class or series thereof of such corporation; (ii) alter or change any provision of the certificate of incorporation of New Actinium to be effected by the Merger; or (iii) alter or change any of the terms or conditions of the Plan of Merger if such alteration or change would adversely affect the holders of any class or series of capital stock of any of the constituent companies.

Accounting Treatment

The Domicile Change will be accounted for as a reverse merger under which, for accounting purposes, the Company would be considered the acquirer and the surviving corporation, New Actinium, would be treated as the successor to the Company’s historical operations. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements would be treated as the financial statements of the surviving corporation.

Anticipated Federal Tax Consequences

The Company has not requested and will not request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, nor has the Company requested or received a tax opinion from an attorney, as to the various tax consequences of the Domicile Change in the State of Delaware. The Company is structuring the Domicile Change in an effort to obtain the following consequences:


(a)	the Domicile Change of the Company in the State of Delaware to be accomplished by a merger between the Company and New Actinium, will constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;


(b)	no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes will be recognized by stockholders of the Company on receipt by them of the common stock of New Actinium in exchange for shares of the Company’s Common Stock;


(c)	the basis of the New Actinium common stock received by stockholders of the Company in exchange for their shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Domicile Change in the State of Delaware will be the same as the basis for the Company’s Common Stock; and


(d)	the holding period for the New Actinium common stock for capital gains treatment received in exchange for the Company’s Common Stock will include the period during which the Company’s Common Stock exchanged therefor is held.

This discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax consequences of the Domicile Change may not be the same for all stockholders. It should be noted that the foregoing positions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, which may challenge the tax-free nature of the Domicile Change in the State of Delaware. A successful challenge by the Internal Revenue Service could result in taxable income to the Company, New Actinium, and our stockholders, as well as other adverse tax consequences. ACCORDINGLY, EACH STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE DOMICILE CHANGE.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

Following effectiveness of the Domicile Change in Delaware, all stock certificates which represented shares of the Company’s Common Stock shall represent ownership of New Actinium common stock, as applicable. We will print new stock certificates and we will obtain a new CUSIP number for our common stock that reflects the name change and change in our state of incorporation, although stockholders will not be required to tender their old stock certificates for transfer. However, to eliminate confusion in transactions in the Company’s securities in the over-the-counter market, management urges stockholders to surrender their old certificates in exchange for new certificates issued in the new name of the Company and has adopted a policy to facilitate this process. Each stockholder will be entitled to submit his or her old stock certificates (any certificates issued prior to the effective date of the change in the Company’s state of incorporation) to the transfer agent of the Company, Action Stock Transfer Corporation, and to be issued in exchange therefore, new common stock certificates representing the number of shares of New Actinium common stock of which each stockholder is the record owner after giving effect to the Domicile Change, and for a period of 30 days after the Effective Date, the Company will pay on one occasion only for such issuance. The Company will not pay for issuing stock certificates in the name of a person other than the name appearing on the old certificate or for the issuance of new stock certificates in excess of the number of old certificates submitted by a stockholder. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S). The Company’s registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock is Action Stock Transfer Corporation and may be contacted at 2469 E. Fort Union Boulevard, Suite 214, Salt Lake City, UT 84121. Their telephone number is (801) 274-1088.

Securities Act Consequences

The shares of New Actinium common stock to be issued in exchange for shares of the Company’s Common Stock are not being registered under the Securities Act. In that regard, New Actinium is relying on Rule 145(a)(2) under the Securities Act, which provides that a merger which has “as its sole purpose” a change in the domicile of a corporation does not involve the sale of securities for purposes of the Securities Act. Pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act, the merger of the Company into New Actinium and the issuance of shares of common stock in the Delaware corporation in exchange for the shares of the Common Stock of the Nevada corporation is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, since the purpose of the transaction is a change of our domicile within the United States. The effect of the exemption is that the shares of our common and stock issuable as a result of the Domicile Change may be resold by the former stockholders without restriction to the same extent that such shares may have been sold before the effectiveness of the Domicile Change.

Regulatory Approvals

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, there are no federal or state regulatory requirements that must be complied with or approval that must be obtained in connection with the transaction.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

No director, executive officer, associate of any director or executive officer or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the proposed move or in any action covered by the related resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors, which is not shared by all other stockholders.

DISSENTER’S RIGHTS

Holders of record of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are not voted in favor of the Domicile Change or consent thereto in writing and that properly demand payment for their shares will be entitled to dissenters’ rights in connection with the Domicile Change under Sections 92A.300 - 92A.500 of the NRS. Holders of record of shares of the Company’s Common Stock will not be entitled to dissenters’ rights under NRS Sections 78.2055 or 92A.380 as a direct result of the Name Change.

The following discussion is not a complete statement of the law pertaining to dissenters’ rights under NRS Sections 92A.300 - 92A.500 and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of NRS Sections 92A.300 - 92A.500, which is attached to this information statement as Appendix F. The following summary does not constitute legal or any other advice nor does it constitute a recommendation that stockholders exercise their dissenters’ rights under NRS Sections 92A.300 - 92A.500. All references in NRS Sections 92A.300 - 92A.500 and in this summary to a “stockholder” or “holders of shares of the Company’s capital stock” are to the record holder or holders of the shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote as to which dissenters’ rights are asserted. A person having a beneficial interest in shares of the Company’s capital stock held of record in the name of another person, such as a broker, fiduciary, depositary or other nominee, must act promptly to cause the record holder to follow the steps summarized below properly and in a timely manner to perfect dissenters’ rights, or must assert his or her own dissenters’ right and submit a written consent of the stockholder of record in accordance with NRS 92A.400.

To assert dissenters’ rights, stockholders must satisfy all of the following conditions in NRS Section 92A.420 and 92A.440:

We are sending a dissenter’s notice to our stockholders with this Information Statement, attached as Appendix G to this Information Statement. Dissenting stockholders must, by no later than January 28, 2013 , send a written objection to the merger stating their intention to demand payment for their shares in the form set forth in Appendix G. The written objection should be sent to:

Cactus Ventures, Inc.

123 W. Nye Lane, Suite 129

Carson City, NV 89706

Attn: Diane S. Button, President

Registered Mail, Return Receipt Requested is recommended. The objection must include (i) a notice of election to dissent, (ii) the stockholder’s name and residence address, (iii) the number of shares as to which the stockholder dissents (iv) a demand for payment of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares if the merger is consummated and (v) a certification as to whether you or the beneficial owner on whose behalf you are dissenting, as the case may be, acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date set forth in the dissenter’s notice.

Together with the written demand or by January 28, 2013, the dissenting stockholder must submit certificates representing all of his shares of stock of our company to us at the address set forth above or to our transfer agent, Action Stock Transfer Corporation, 2469 E. Fort Union Boulevard, Suite 214, Salt Lake City, UT 84121, for the purpose of affixing a notation indicating that a demand for payment has been made.

If the merger is consummated, within 30 days after receiving any demands for payment, we will pay to each dissenter who complied with the provisions of Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statues the amount we estimate to be the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest. The fair value of the shares is equal to the value of the shares immediately before the consummation of the Merger, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger unless exclusion would be inequitable. The payment will be accompanied by (i) our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the period ended September 30, 2012, (ii) a statement of the estimate of the fair value, (iii) an explanation of how interest was calculated, and (iv) any other items required by Chapter 92A of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

A dissenting stockholder receiving such payment may (i) reject the payment and demand payment of the fair value and accrued interest or (ii) accept the payment after providing an estimate of the fair value plus accrued interest and demanding payment of such estimate.

If any demand for payment remains unsettled we must, within 60 days after receiving such demand, petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If we do not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, we must pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.

The procedure to dissent is more fully described in Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which are attached as Appendix F to this Information Statement. Sections 92A.300 to 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statues inclusive require strict adherence to the procedures set forth therein, and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissenters’ rights. Accordingly, each stockholder who might desire to exercise dissenter’s rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of those sections and consult his or her legal advisor.

FAILURE TO DEMAND PAYMENT IN THE PROPER FORM OR TO DEPOSIT YOUR CERTIFICATES AS DESCRIBED IN THE DISSENTER’S NOTICE, ATTACHED AS APPENDIX G, WILL TERMINATE YOUR RIGHT TO RECEIVE PAYMENT FOR YOUR SHARES PURSUANT TO NEVADA’S RIGHTS OF DISSENTING OWNERS STATUTE.

CHANGES TO OUR BUSINESS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 6, 1997 under the name Zurich U.S.A., Inc. On July 10, 2006, the Company changed its name to Cactus Ventures, Inc. and began pursuing the business of marketing sunglasses. The Company encountered numerous problems with various vendors and ceased its operations. The Company shifted its efforts to seeking a business combination opportunity with a business entity, and negotiated a merger of a target company into the Company. Upon ceasing its operations, the Company was considered a “blank check” company as such term is defined under the Securities Act. Diane S. Button is the sole director and officer of the Company and owns over 89% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.

As disclosed earlier in this Information Statement, the Company is currently in discussions with Old Actinium regarding the Proposed Business Combination involving the Company and Old Actinium. On August 30, 2012, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Old Actinium. Pursuant to the LOI, the Company intends to enter into a share exchange agreement with Old Actinium and the shareholders of Old Actinium (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), whereby the Old Actinium shareholders will deliver 100% of their issued and outstanding stock in exchange for 99% of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). Upon the closing of the Share Exchange, Old Actinium will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Soon thereafter, the Company will change the name of Old Actinium and then create New Actinium and effect the Merger, the Name Change, and the Domicile Change.

The closing of the Share Exchange is subject to certain conditions, including the negotiation and execution of a mutually satisfactory definitive Share Exchange Agreement and the raise of a minimum of $5,000,000 in an equity financing by Old Actinium at or prior to closing the Share Exchange.

At this stage, no definitive terms have been agreed to, and neither party is currently bound to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination. However, if the Proposed Business Combination is effected, it would likely involve the appointment of new directors and officers of the Company in place of Ms. Button.

2. A subject corporation shall commence the proceeding in the district court of the county where its principal office is located in this State. If the principal office of the subject corporation is not located in the State, it shall commence the proceeding in the county where the principal office of the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired by the foreign entity was located. If the principal office of the subject corporation and the domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired is not located in this State, the subject corporation shall commence the proceeding in the district court in the county in which the corporation’s registered office is located.

3. The subject corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of Nevada, whose demands remain unsettled, parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares. All parties must be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.

4. The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection 2 is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them, or any amendment thereto. The dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

5. Each dissenter who is made a party to the proceeding is entitled to a judgment:

(a) For the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter’s shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the subject corporation; or

(b) For the fair value, plus accrued interest, of the dissenter’s after-acquired shares for which the subject corporation elected to withhold payment pursuant to NRS 92A.470.

NRS 92A.500 Assessment of costs and fees in certain legal proceedings.

1. The court in a proceeding to determine fair value shall determine all of the costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of any appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the subject corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment.

2. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of the counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

(a) Against the subject corporation and in favor of all dissenters if the court finds the subject corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive; or

(b) Against either the subject corporation or a dissenter in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive.

3. If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the subject corporation, the court may award to those counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefited.

4. In a proceeding commenced pursuant to NRS 92A.460, the court may assess the costs against the subject corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the dissenters who are parties to the proceeding, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds that such parties did not act in good faith in instituting the proceeding.

F-6

5. To the extent the subject corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to NRS 92A.460, 92A.470 or 92A.480, the dissenter may bring a cause of action directly for the amount owed and, to the extent the dissenter prevails, is entitled to recover all expenses of the suit.

6. This section does not preclude any party in a proceeding commenced pursuant to NRS 92A.460 or 92A.490 from applying the provisions of N.R.C.P. 68 or NRS 17.115.
