THE ANNUAL MEETING
Attending the Annual Meeting
Our annual meeting will be held in the Appaloosa Room 2 of the Gaylord Texan Resort Hotel, 1501 Gaylord Trail, Grapevine, Texas 76051; at 3:00 PM (CST.) on Friday, JUNE 01 2012. The Meeting will continue until completed. If you plan to attend the annual meeting, please check the box on our proxy card.
This Proxy Statement
We sent you our proxy materials because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares of Common Stock at the annual meeting. If you own Common Stock in more than one account, such as individually and through one or more brokers, you may receive more than one set of proxy materials. In order to vote all of your shares by proxy, you should vote the shares in each different account as described below under “Street Name Holders and Record Holders” and “How Record Holders Vote.”
In the second week of May, we began mailing these proxy materials to all shareholders of record at the close of business on May 11, 2012. On the record date, there were 10,721,618 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to shareholders at the annual meeting.
Matters to be Considered and Voted Upon
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will consider and vote upon:
1. | Election of Directors; |
2. | Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to allow the Board of Directors the right to amend the Bylaws of the Company; |
3. | Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to authorize a Series B and a Series C Preferred Stock, giving the Board of Directors the right to attach terms they deem appropriate at the time of issuance; and, |
4. | In addition, shareholders will transact any other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. |
Street Name Holders and Record Holders
If you own shares through a broker, the registered holder of those shares is the broker or its nominee. Such shares are often referred to as held in “street name”, and you, as the beneficial owner of those shares, do not appear in Dynaresource’ stock register. For street name shares, there is a two-step process for distributing our proxy materials and tabulating votes. Brokers inform DynaResource how many of their clients own Common Stock in street name and the brokers forward our proxy materials to those beneficial owners. If you receive our proxy materials, including a voting instruction card, from your broker, you should vote:
1. | The election of directors to a term of office which will expire at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders; and; |
2. | Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to allow the Board of Directors the right to amend the Bylaws of the Company; |
3. | Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to authorize a Series B and a Series C Preferred Stock, giving the Board of Directors the right to attach terms they deem appropriate at the time of issuance. |
4 |
You can vote your shares by following the procedures specified on the voting instruction card. Shortly before the annual meeting, your broker will tabulate the votes it has received and submit a proxy card to us or our transfer agent reflecting the aggregate votes of the street name holders. If you plan to attend the annual meeting and vote your street name shares in person, you should contact your broker to obtain a broker’s proxy card and bring it to the annual meeting.
If you are the registered holder of shares, you are the record holder of those shares, and you should vote your shares as described below under “How Record Holders Vote.”
How Record Holders Vote
You can vote at the annual meeting in person or by proxy. We recommend that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You can always attend the annual meeting and revoke your proxy by voting in person.
There are three ways to vote YOUR Proxy:
1. | By giving us your proxy, you are authorizing the individuals named on our proxy card, who we refer to as the “proxies”, to vote your shares in the manner you indicate; |
2. | You may vote by presenting a Proxy in Person, for the election of or withhold authority to vote for each of the Director Nominees (Proposal 1); |
3. | You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on the ratification of Proposals 2-3; |
If you vote by proxy without indicating your instructions, your shares will be voted FOR:
Quorum Requirement
A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting of shareholders. If shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting are present in person or by proxy, a quorum will exist. Shares owned by DynaResource are not voted and do not count for quorum purposes. In order to ensure the presence of a quorum at the annual meeting, please vote your shares in accordance with the instructions described above, even if you plan to attend the annual meeting.
By | Mail or by Fax: You can vote by mail or Fax by completing, signing, dating and mailing or Faxing the enclosed proxy card. |
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.
The Vote Necessary for Action to be Taken
If a quorum is present at the annual meeting, the five persons receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected to serve as directors. As a result, withholding authority to vote for a director nominee, or abstentions, and broker non-votes with respect to the election of directors will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.
If a quorum is present at the annual meeting, ratification of the appointment of The Hall Group, CPA'S as the independent auditors of DynaResource requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will be treated as being present and entitled to vote on the matter and, therefore, will have the effect of votes against the proposal. A broker non-vote is treated as not being entitled to vote on the matter and, therefore, is not counted for purposes of determining whether the proposal has been approved.
5 |
Revocation of Proxies
If you are a registered holder of Common Stock, you may revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted by: (1) giving written notice of revocation to DynaResource’ Corporate Secretary, (2) executing a later-dated proxy card, or (3) attending the annual meeting and voting your shares in person. If your shares are held in “street name,” you must contact your broker to revoke your proxy.
Other Matters
The Board does not know of any other matter that will be presented at the annual meeting other than the proposals discussed in this proxy statement. Under our By-Laws, generally no business besides the proposals discussed in this proxy statement may be transacted at the annual meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the annual meeting, your proxies will act on such matter in their discretion.

Agreements with Named Executive Officers
Employment Agreements
The Company does not have any formal employment agreements with any of its named executive officers. Rather, the terms of their respective employment with the Company were established pursuant to mutual agreement of the Board of Directors and each individual executive.
NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION
In the past, the Company has not instituted a policy of compensating non-management directors. However, the Company plans to use stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on its Board of Directors. In setting director compensation, the Company will consider the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company, as well as the skill-level required by the Company of its Board members. Directors are not subject to a minimum share ownership requirement.
The Company currently has no other compensation plans for management or non-management directors.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company’s By-Laws require the Company to indemnify and hold harmless each of its directors and officers, including the named executive officers, to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, against all expense, liability and loss incurred by such individual in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal administrative or investigative, to which such individual is made a party, is threatened to be made a party, or in which such individual is involved, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Certificate of Incorporation provides, however, that no such obligation to indemnify exists as to proceedings initiated by a director, officer, employee or agent unless (a) it is a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated to enforce a right to indemnification under the By-Laws; or (b) it was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors. The foregoing indemnification continues as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company.
The By-Laws also provide that the Company shall have the authority to purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and its directors and officers, including the named executive officers, against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The Company has, and intends to continue, maintaining director and officer liability insurance, to the extent available on reasonable terms. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors and officers under the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and may, therefore, be unenforceable.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Board of Directors reviews all relationships and transactions in which the Company and one or more of its directors, executive officers and/or their immediately family members are participants, in order to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. The Company’s Corporate Secretary is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based upon the facts and circumstances, whether a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction involving the Company. As required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, transactions involving the Company that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to a related person must be disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement. The Board, in the course of the Nominating Committee’s review and approval or ratification of a related person transaction, the Nominating Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, the following:
• | the material terms of the transaction, including, without limitation, the amount and type of the transaction; |
• | the nature and extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; |
• | the importance of the transaction to the Company; |
• | the importance of the transaction to the related person; |
• | whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and otherwise on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; |
• | whether the transaction would impair the judgment of the interested director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company; and |
• | any other facts, circumstances or factors that the Board deems appropriate. |

Any member of the Board who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations respecting approval or ratification of the transaction. However, such director will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting that considers the transaction.
Currently, there are no related person transactions that are required to be reported pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
