INFORMATION STATEMENT
This information statement is furnished to holders of record of the
common stock of Casinovations Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), in order to comply with the requirements of Section 14(c) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Regulation
14C under the Exchange Act. The purpose of this information statement is to
inform all stockholders of the approval of the amendment and restatement of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation providing for a change in the corporate name
from "Casinovations Incorporated" to "CVI Technology, Inc." This information
statement was first mailed or delivered to you on or about April 10, 2000.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY, AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US
A PROXY.
We are not seeking consent, authorization or proxies from you since the
Company has obtained the written consent of certain stockholders holding a
sufficient number of shares of the Company's common stock. The number of shares
of the Company's common stock outstanding as of March 21, 2000, is 10,746,144
shares; the number of shares that voted to approve the aforementioned actions is
7,352,652, representing 68.42% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The
Company proposes to file the amendment and restatement to the Company's Articles
of Incorporation (the "Amended and Restated Articles") with the Nevada Secretary
of State twenty days after the mailing date of the information statement, which
the Company anticipates will be on or before April 30, 2000.
CHANGE OF CORPORATE NAME
The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has approved a proposal
to amend and restate the Company's Articles of Incorporation, herein
incorporated by reference, such that the corporate name of the Company will
change from "Casinovations Incorporated" to "CVI Technology, Inc." The purpose
for the change of corporate name is to reflect the expansion of the Company's
business to industries outside the gaming industry. The corporate name change
will become effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles with
the Nevada Secretary of State.
