ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.
This Form 8-A relates to shares of the common stock, no par value
("Common Stock"), of Skyline Chili, Inc. (the "Registrant"). All shares of
Common Stock have equal voting rights and, when validly issued and outstanding,
have one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders. Under
the Registrant's Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended, notwithstanding
any provision of the Ohio General Corporation Law (Chapter 1701 of the Ohio
Revised Code) requiring the vote, consent, waiver or release of a designated
proportion (but less than all) of the Registrant's shares of Common Stock
for any purpose, only the vote, consent, waiver or release of the holders of a
majority of the Registrant's shares of Common Stock is required.
Cumulative voting in the election of directors is not allowed. The
Registrant's Board of Directors is not classified.
Shares of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights and no
redemption or sinking fund provisions. When shares of Common Stock have been
validly issued and are fully paid, they are not liable for further call or
assessment.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to share ratably in any assets
available for distribution to the holders of its equity securities upon
liquidation of the Registrant. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to ratably
receive dividends when and as declared by the Registrant's Board of Directors
out of funds legally available therefor. Any such dividends may be paid in cash,
property or shares of Common Stock.
