Item 1. Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.
 
This registration statement relates to the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Date Storage Corporation (the “Registrant”). The Registrant’s authorized share capital consists of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. As of December 13, 2011, an aggregate of 23,543,941 shares of Common Stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
 
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the Registrant’s stockholders. The Registrant’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Registrant’s board of directors out of funds legally available therefore. In the event of the Registrant’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the Registrant’s assets remaining after payment of the Registrant’s liabilities and satisfaction of preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemption rights.
