INFORMATION STATEMENT

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

To the stockholders of Tilden Associates, Inc.:
      
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to notify the stockholders of Tilden Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) holding common stock, par value $0.0005 per share (the “Common Stock”) that on March 2, 2012, the Company received a unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting of the holders of our Common Stock.

The majority shareholders of the Company holding 13,403,154 shares of Common Stock or 56.64% of the Company (the “Tilden Majority Shareholders”) authorized the following corporate actions: (i) name change of the Company from Tilden Associates, Inc. to Carrier Alliance Holdings, Inc. (the “Name Change”); (ii) increase in the number of authorized shares of capital stock from Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares to Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares of capital stock (the “Authorized Share Increase”); and (iii) amendment to the articles of incorporation to authorize the creation of Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares of “Blank Check” preferred stock (the “Creation of Preferred Stock”).
 
On March 2, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, and recommended for approval to the Tilden Majority Shareholders having the power to vote with respect to the Common Stock of the Company, the Name Change, Authorized Share Increase and the Creation of Preferred Stock (collectively the “Actions”).

On March 2, 2012, the Tilden Majority Shareholders approved each of the Actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Accordingly, your consent is not required and is not being solicited in connection with the approval of the Actions.

We will mail the notice to the holders of our Common Stock on or about March 25, 2012.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.
 
The Board believes that the stockholders of the Company will benefit from changing the name of the Company from Tilden Associates, Inc. to Carrier Alliance Holdings, Inc. because it will more accurately represent the products and business operations of the Company to the public.

The Board believes that the stockholders of the Company will benefit from the Authorized Share Increase because it will enable the Company to maintain financing and increase capital raising ability. The additional authorized shares of capital stock could be used for the issuance of preferred stock, potential strategic transactions, including among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructures, business combinations and investments, although currently there are no plans to do so.

The Board believes that the stockholders of the Company will benefit from the Creation of Preferred Stock because it will provide our Company with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security in addition to our Common Stock. The Creation of Preferred Stock will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by our Board for any proper corporate purpose. It is anticipated that such purposes may include exchanging preferred stock for Common Stock and, without limitation, may include the issuance for cash as a means of obtaining capital for use by our Company.

Accordingly, it was the Board’s opinion that the Actions would better position the Company to attract potential business candidates and provide our stockholders a greater potential return.

INTRODUCTION

The DGCL provides that unless otherwise stated in the articles of incorporation or the bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power. The DGCL, however, requires that in the event an action is approved by written consent, a Company must provide prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting to the stockholders of record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the company.

In accordance with the foregoing, we will mail the notice to the holders of Common Stock on or about March 25, 2012.

This Information Statement contains a brief summary of the material aspects of each of the Actions approved by the Board of the Company and the Tilden Majority Shareholders.

Capital Stock

The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares, of which 30,000,000 are shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0005 per share. Each share of our Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Currently, there are 58 holders of Common Stock resulting in the holders of Common Stock holding in the aggregate approximately 100% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding voting capital of the Company. As of March 14, 2012 there were 23,694,028 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. Based on the foregoing, the total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Actions is 23,694,028.

The following table sets forth the name of the holders of Common Stock of the Company which voted to approve the Actions, the number of shares of Common Stock held by the stockholders, the total number of votes that the stockholders voted in favor of the Actions and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting equity of the Company that voted in favor of the Actions.

The total aggregate amount of votes entitled to vote regarding the approval of the Actions is 23,694,028 consisting of 23,694,028 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 14, 2012.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

The Name Change, Authorized Share Increase and Creation of Preferred Stock will become effective on the date that we file the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Such filing can occur no earlier than twenty (20) calendar days after the mailing of the notice of internet availability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we must first notify FINRA of the intended Name Change by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated record date of such Actions.  Our failure to provide such notice may constitute fraud under Section 10 of the Exchange Act. In connection with the Name Change, we will request a new trading symbol, but such request will not be processed until sixty (60) days after FINRA has announced the Name Change to the market.

We currently expect to file the Amendment on April 14, 2012.

With respect to each Action described in this Information Statement, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding that the holders of Common Stock have approved each Action, to elect not to proceed with one or more Actions if, at any time prior to filing the Amendment, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to consummate any one or more of the Actions.

NAME CHANGE

REASONS

We believe that changing the name of the Company from Tilden Associates, Inc. to Carrier Alliance Holdings, Inc. will more accurately reflect and represent to the public the business of the Company. In connection with the Name Change, we intend to file with FINRA a request to obtain a new trading symbol. Our request for a new trading symbol, however, will not be processed until sixty (60) days after FINRA has announced our Name Change to the market.

WHEN THE NAME CHANGE WILL GO INTO EFFECT

Prior to filing the Amendment reflecting the Name Change, we must first notify FINRA by filing the Issuer Company Related Action Notification Form no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated record date of the Name Change.  Our failure to provide such notice may constitute fraud under Section 10 of the Exchange Act.

INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL

The number of authorized shares of our capital stock will be increased from Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares to Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”).

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
 
The Board believes the Authorized Share Increase is necessary in order to maintain our capital raising ability and to generally maintain our flexibility in today’s competitive and rapidly changing environment. The additional One Hundred Seventy Million (170,000,000) shares of authorized capital stock will be available for issuance by the Board for preferred stock, stock splits or stock dividends, acquisitions, raising additional capital, stock options or other corporate purposes. The additional shares of authorized capital stock could be used for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are currently no plans to do so. Assurances cannot be provided that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not adversely affect the Company’s business or the trading price of our Common Stock. At this time, the Board has no current plans to issue any of the additional shares of capital stock that would be authorized by this proposal. The Company does not anticipate that it would seek authorization from the stockholders for issuance of such additional shares unless required by applicable law or regulations.

The increase in the authorized number of shares of capital stock and any subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Shares of authorized and unissued capital stock could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions which would make a change in control of the Company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of additional shares of capital stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and has not presented this proposal with the intention that the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock be used as a type of anti-takeover device.

CREATION OF BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

GENERAL

The amendment to our articles of incorporation will create 50,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock. Our articles of incorporation do not currently authorize a class of preferred stock. However, we believe that for us to successfully execute our business strategy we will need to raise investment capital and it may be preferable or necessary to issue preferred stock to investors. Preferred stock usually grants the holders certain preferential rights in voting, dividends, liquidation or other rights in preference over the Common Stock. Accordingly, in order to grant us the flexibility to issue our equity securities in the manner best suited for our Company, or as may be required by the capital markets, the amendment to the articles of incorporation will create 50,000,000 authorized shares of “blank check” preferred stock for us to issue.

The term “blank check” refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by the shareholders and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by our Board upon issuance. The authorization of such blank check preferred stock would permit our Board to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series.
 
 
5
 
 
Subject to the provisions of our amendment to the articles of incorporation and the limitations prescribed by law, our Board would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the shareholders. Our Board would be required to make any determination to issue shares of preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our Company and our shareholders. The amendment to the articles of incorporation would give our Board flexibility, without further shareholder action, to issue preferred stock on such terms and conditions as the Board deems to be in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

PURPOSE OF CREATING BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

The amendment to the articles of incorporation will provide our Company with increased financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by providing another type of security in addition to our Common Stock, as it will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by our Board for any proper corporate purpose. It is anticipated that such purposes may include exchanging preferred stock for Common Stock and, without limitation, may include the issuance for cash as a means of obtaining capital for use by our Company.

EFFECT OF ISSUING BLANK CHECK PREFERRED STOCK

Issuance by our Company of preferred stock could dilute both the equity interests and the earnings per share of existing holders of the Common Stock. Such dilution may be substantial, depending upon the amount of shares issued. Newly authorized shares of preferred stock could also have voting superior to the Common Stock, and therefore would have a dilutive effect on the voting power of existing shareholders.

Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of our Company. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the Board to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of our Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive shareholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the Board could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to shareholders generally.

While the amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, our Board believes that the financial flexibility offered by the amendment outweighs any disadvantages. To the extent that the amendment may have anti-takeover effects, the amendment may encourage persons seeking to acquire our Company to negotiate directly with the Board enabling the Board to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the shareholders' interests.

There are currently no plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings for the issuance of shares of preferred stock.
