PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To Be Held April 28, 2000
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Signature Eyewear, Inc., a California
corporation (the "Company"), for use at the 2000 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at The Renaissance Hotel, 9620
Airport Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90045 on April 28, 2000 at 10:30
a.m., Pacific time, and at any of its adjournments or postponements, for the
purposes set forth herein and in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. Accompanying this Proxy Statement is the Board of Directors'
Proxy for the Annual Meeting, which you may use to indicate your vote on the
proposals described in this Proxy Statement.
All Proxies which are properly completed, signed and returned to the
Company before the Annual Meeting, and which have not been revoked, will
unless otherwise directed by the shareholder be voted in accordance with the
recommendations of the Board of Directors set forth in this Proxy Statement. A
shareholder may revoke his or her Proxy at any time before it is voted either
by filing with the Secretary of the Company, at its principal executive
offices, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a
later date, or, with respect to shareholders of record, by attending the
Annual Meeting and expressing a desire to vote his or her shares in person.
The close of business on March 15, 2000 has been fixed as the record date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.
At the record date, 5,056,889 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share (the "Common Stock"), were outstanding. The Common Stock is the only
outstanding class of capital stock of the Company.
A shareholder is entitled to cast one vote for each share held of record on
the record date on all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting. The six
nominees for election as directors at the Annual Meeting who receive the
highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker
non-votes will be included in the number of shares present at the Annual
Meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions
will be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on proposals submitted to
shareholders and will have the same effect as negative votes, while broker
non-votes will not be counted either as votes cast for or against such
matters.
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy were mailed to shareholders
on or about April 3, 2000.
