INFORMATION STATEMENT
Dated March 31, 2000
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
This Information Statement of BUI, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, gives notice of the pending change in the Company's
name to "BuyersOnline.com, Inc." It is first being sent to
stockholders of the Company on March 31, 2000.
On January 27, 2000, the board of directors adopted, with
its recommendation for approval by the stockholders, a resolution
to approve an amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to change its name to BuyersOnline.com, Inc. The
name change was approved and recommended by the board of
directors because of the Company's plan to advertise and promote
its products and services under the "BuyersOnline.com" brand
name. The board of directors has elected to act immediately on
this matter rather than wait for the annual stockholders meeting
later this year because the Company plans to roll out its new
marketing program under its new name in March 2000. BUI intends
to hold its annual stockholders meeting by the end of June 2000.
As of the date of this Information Statement, BUI received
written consents from stockholders of record representing
1,772,086 shares of common stock, or 50.05% of the issued and
outstanding shares. Accordingly, the stockholders have approved
the name change. The record date for determining the
stockholders entitled to execute written consents was February
28, 2000. As of the record date there were 3,540,632 shares of
the Company's common stock and 2,000,000 shares of the Company's
Series A convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Only the holders of common stock were entitled to give written
consents on the proposed name change.
The name change will take effect as of April 20, 2000. Upon
effectiveness of the name change, certificates for shares of the
Company's common stock issued under its former name will continue
to represent the same interest in the Company under the new name.
IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR STOCKHOLDERS TO EXCHANGE THEIR
COMPANY STOCK CERTIFICATES, ALTHOUGH STOCKHOLDERS MAY EXCHANGE
THEIR CERTIFICATES IF THEY WISH.
