Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On November 11, 2017, Pacific Venture Group, Inc.'s (the "Company") board of directors (the "Board of Directors") approved and authorized for the Company to file the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which sets forth the Company's authorized capital stock and the terms and rights thereof, including the rights, preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of Series E Preferred Stock (as defined below), as more fully described below, and which the stockholders of the Company previously approved by written consent in accordance the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware SoS"). The Certificate was filed and became effective on November 13, 2017.  The Certificate was filed to amend the Company's Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation, filed with the Delaware SoS on October 22, 2012.

The Certificate confirms that the aggregate number of shares of capital stock which the Company has the authority to issue is 110,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and 10,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock").
 
The Company may issue shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series, each of which will have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board of Directors and will have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors will have the power to increase or decrease the number of shares of Preferred Stock of any series subsequent to the issuance of shares of that series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding.  In case the number of shares of any series shall be decreased, the shares constituting such decrease will resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock.
 
In October 2006, the Board of Directors authorized and stockholders of the Company approved by written consent the designation of a class of Series E Preferred Stock (the "Series E Preferred Stock").  On March 20, 2012, the Corporation filed a Certificate of Designation with the Delaware SoS designating the Series E Preferred Stock.  Each share of Series E Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to a 10-to-1 voting preference over a share of Common Stock.  Accordingly, for every share of Series E Preferred Stock held, the holder shall receive voting rights equal to 10 shares of Common Stock.  The Series E Preferred Stock is not convertible into any other class of stock of the Company and has no preferences to dividends or liquidation rights.  As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this "Current Report"), there are 1,000,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

While the Company does not currently have any plans for the issuance of any other classes of Preferred Stock, the issuance of such Preferred Stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of Common Stock and, therefore, reduce the value of the Common Stock.  It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any other shares of Preferred Stock on the rights of holders of the Common Stock until and unless the Board of Directors determines the specific rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock; however, these effects may include: restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Common Stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the Common Stock, or delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Certificate does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
