DISSENTERS RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL
The Stockholders have no right under the DGCL, the Companys articles of incorporation consistent with above or By-Laws to dissent from any of the provisions adopted in the Amendments.
PROPOSAL 1
AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES
OF COMMON STOCK FROM 20,000,000 TO 150,000,000
The Companys Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the Articles of Incorporation) authorizes the maximum number of shares outstanding at any time shall be twenty million (20,000,000) shares of Common Stock. On September 7, 2006, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to authorize one hundred fifty million (150,000,000) shares of Common Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the number of shares of and to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the Common Stock. On September 7, 2006, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approved the amendment by written consent.
3
Specifically, the increase in authorized shares is necessary based upon financings completed by the Company. The Company will be filing a Form SB-2 registration statement with the SEC to register shares of common stock in accordance with these financings and will need these additional authorized shares for the shares to be issued as part of these financings. In addition, , the general purpose and effect of the amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation in authorizing 130,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock will be to use such additional shares of common stock for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, equity financings, stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalizations, and grants of stock options. When the Board of Directors deem it to be in the best interests of the Company and the Stockholders to issue additional shares of Common Stock in the future from authorized shares, the Board of Directors generally will not seek further authorization by vote of the Stockholders, unless such authorization is otherwise required by law or regulations.
The additional authorized shares of Common Stock could have an anti-takeover effect. If the Companys Board of Directors desires to issue additional shares in the future, such issuance could dilute the voting power of a person seeking control of the Company, thereby deterring or rendering more difficult a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or an extraordinary corporate transaction opposed by the Company.
PROPOSAL 2
AMENDMENT TO CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO REDUCE THE PAR VALUE PER SHARE OF THE COMMON STOCK
On September 7, 2006, the Board of Directors unanimously adopted, subject to shareholder approval, an amendment to Article Fourth of the Companys Certificate of Incorporation to decrease the stated par value per share of the common stock of the Company from $0.10 to $0.01.
Purpose and Effect of the Amendment
If Proposal 2 is approved, Article Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation would be amended by Article 4 of the New Certificate to reduce the stated par value per share of the common stock of the Company from $0.10 to $0.01 and the stated par value per share of the preferred stock of the Company from $1.00 to $0.01. Adoption of Proposal 2 would not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding common stock. The Company currently has no preferred stock issued and outstanding.
There are several purposes for the amendment to reduce the par value per share of the common stock from $0.10 to $0.01 and the par value per share of the preferred stock of the Company from $1.00 to $0.01. Management believes that a par value of $0.01 is customary for classes of stock similar to the common stock and the preferred stock. Should the Company determine to issue and sell shares of common stock or preferred stock, a reduced par value may facilitate that sale. A reduced par value for the common stock and preferred stock may result in lower annual franchise taxes assessed to the Company by the Delaware Secretary of State.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF AMENDMENTS
Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the filing of the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State or the effective date of such filing, shall not occur until a date at least twenty (20) days after the date on which this Information Statement has been mailed to the Stockholders. The Company anticipates that the actions contemplated hereby will be effected on or about the close of business on October 11, 2006.
By Order of the Board of Directors
