This Item 4 is being amended to add the following:
In August 2017, WealthColony Management Group, LLC (“WealthColony”) resolicited the consent of certain stockholders with respect to the removal of each of Jamieson Karson and Ronald Crane as directors of the Issuer and the appointment of Jeffrey Freedman and Randy Beller as directors of the Issuer.
On August 18, 2017, WealthColony transmitted a letter (the “Delivery Letter”) to Jamieson Karson, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer (the “CEO”) in which WealthColony delivered written consents pursuant to and in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Written Consents”), signed, in person or by proxy, by the holders of shares of Common Stock, Class B Convertible Preferred Stock and Class C Convertible Preferred Stock representing approximately 51% of the voting power of the Issuer’s outstanding capital stock, which percentage exceeds the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all shares of voting stock were present and voted.
The Issuer’s stockholders approved the following proposals (the “Proposals”) pursuant to the Written Consents:
1. | Each of Jamieson Karson and Ronald Crane was removed from the Board; and |
2. | Each of Jeffrey Freedman and Randy Beller (the “Incoming Directors”) was elected to serve as a director of the Issuer. |
The Delivery Letter also advised the CEO that the Former Directors were no longer authorized to act on behalf of the Issuer, and requested that the CEO instruct the Former Directors to refrain from any such actions, and from holding themselves out to anyone as having such authority.
The Delivery Letter requested the CEO to confirm on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 21, 2017, (i) his acknowledgement of the immediate effectiveness of the Written Consents and, (ii) that in light of the changes to the composition of the Board, neither the Issuer nor anyone purporting to act on behalf of the Issuer, would act outside the ordinary course of business without the approval of the newly constituted Board or would make any material business decisions without the prior approval of the newly constituted Board.
The Delivery Letter advised the CEO that the Incoming Directors would be willing to consider working with the CEO following the effective change of the Issuer’s Board to ensure a smooth transition of the Issuer’s leadership. Finally, WealthColony noted in the Delivery Letter that the Incoming Directors and Joseph Hagan were planning to visit the executive offices of the Issuer in the next week, and at such time, WealthColony expected the books and records of the Issuer to be made available to them.

The Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Common Stock or selling some or all of their Common Stock or other securities and, alone or with others, pursuing discussions with the management, the Board of Directors, other shareholders of the Issuer and third parties with regard to their investments in the Issuer, and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) WealthColony Management Group, LLC and Jeffrey Freedman may be deemed the beneficial owners of up to 119,882,964 shares of Common Stock representing approximately 41.5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.
The aggregate percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 and is based upon 288,845,379 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 4, 2017, as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended February 28, 2017.
(b) By virtue of their control of the Limited Partnership, WealthColony Management Group, LLC and Jeffrey Freedman share the power to (i) vote or direct the voting and (ii) dispose or direct the disposition of all of the securities of the Issuer held by the Limited Partnership.
(c) The Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Common Stock in the past 60 days, except as follows:

Dear Mr. Karson:
On behalf of certain of the holders of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Capital Stock”) of Soupman, Inc. (the “Company”), enclosed with this letter as Exhibit A please find written consents pursuant to and in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Written Consents”) signed by the holders of shares representing approximately 51% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding Capital Stock, which percentage exceeds the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the actions specified below at a meeting at which all shares of the Company’s Capital Stock were present and voted, with the immediate effect of:
1. | Removing the following current members of the Board: Jamieson Karson and Ronald Crane (and any other person or persons elected or appointed by the Board prior to the date hereof) (the “Former Directors”), other than the Incoming Directors (as defined below); and | |
2. | Electing each of Jeffrey Freedman and Randy Beller (the “Incoming Directors”) to serve as a director of the Company. |
As such, please be advised that in accordance with the General Delaware Corporation Law and other applicable law and Section 2.2 of the Company’s Bylaws, each of the Former Directors is no longer authorized to act on behalf of the Company or to represent himself as a director of the Company, and we hereby request that you instruct the Former Directors to refrain from taking any such actions, and from holding themselves out to anyone as having such authority.
We further hereby request that you inform the officers and employees of the Company that the Former Directors have no legal authority with respect to the Company and that such officers and employees must refrain from taking any action upon the direction of, or otherwise take any instruction from, the Former Directors. Finally, in order to ensure that only authorized persons have access to the tangible and intangible property of the Company, we hereby request that you and every other officer and employee of the Company refrain from making available any proprietary or confidential information of the Company to the Former Directors and deny the Former Directors access to the premises of the Company henceforth.
Please confirm on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 21, 2017, that the Company acknowledges the immediate effectiveness of the Written Consents. Please also confirm that, in light of the changes to the composition of the Board, neither the Company nor anyone purporting to act on behalf of the Company will cause the Company to take any actions outside the ordinary course of business or will make any material business decisions without the prior approval of the newly constituted Board. We look forward to working with the Company to issue prompt notice of these actions to non-consenting stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 228(e) of the Delaware General Corporate Law.
The new members of the Board hope to work with you and the Company to ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption to the business and operations of the Company. The new members of the Board and Joseph Hagan plan to visit and meet at the principal executive offices of the Company within the next week, and will be in touch the Company’s staff to schedule a specific date and time for such meeting. At such time, we expect all books and records of the Company to be made available to them.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
