THE COMPANY
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on June 24, 1987, as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Forme Capital, Inc. ("Forme") and on December 9, 1987 all
the Company's then issued shares were distributed to Forme stockholders. The
Company had no operations or substantial assets until subsequent to the end of
the fiscal year.
Subsequent to the year end, on May 20, 1997, the Company issued 42,450,000
new common shares to Daniel Wettreich in return for majority control of the
outstanding shares of Alexander Mark Investments (USA), Inc. ("AMI"), a NASDAQ
OTC Bulletin Board public company. Further, the Company subscribed for
53,811,780 Preferred Shares, Series J of Camelot Corporation ("Camelot") the
consideration being the AMI shares described above. As a result, the Company
presently owns 49% of the outstanding voting shares of Camelot. On July 14,
1997 Camelot shareholders approved a one for forty reverse stock split of all
outstanding common shares and Preferred Shares, Series J. Mr. Wettreich is a
director and officer of AMI and Camelot. (See Form 8-K dated May 20, 1997 with
amendments hereby incorporated by reference). The Company is now a holding
company with interests in technology and communications. Camelot is a NASDAQ
listed public company primarily concentrating on Internet hardware and software
development through its subsidiary Third Planet Publishing, Inc., and also now
owns 80% of AMI.
The primary asset of AMI is 57% of the outstanding share capital of Meteor
Technology, Ltd. ("Meteor"), a United Kingdom public company listed on the
Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange. Meteor has two
principal subsidiaries - Meteor Payphones and DigiPhone International. Meteor
Payphones operates approximately 2,000 payphones throughout the United Kingdom.
Digiphone International is the worldwide distributor for the products of Third
Planet Publishing which include Proficia , DigiPhone 2.0 and VideoTalk .
Proficia is an audio handset that connects to a computer, providing quality
sound for internet telephony, computer telephony and multimedia applications.
DigiPhone 2.0 is a software product enabling real time full-duplex audio over
the Internet. VideoTalk is a complete hardware and software system which, when
connected to a multimedia PC, enables full-duplex video conferencing over the
internet.
ACTION TAKEN
The Company, as authorized by the necessary approvals of the board of directors
and stockholders owning at least eighty percent (80%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock, has adopted two amendments to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
I. ONE FOR THIRTY REVERSE COMMON STOCK SPLIT OF THE AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING
COMMON STOCK
The first amendment authorizes a one for thirty reverse Common Stock split
of both the authorized and the outstanding common shares. The par value will
not be affected. The Company currently has 75,000,000 share authorized, all of
which are issued. Following the reverse split, the Company will have
approximately 2,500,000 Common Shares outstanding and 2,500,000 of authorized
common shares with a par value of $0002 per share. Thus all common shares
authorized, at this point, are issued.
II. CREATION OF PREFERRED STOCK AND INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES
The second amendment creates Preferred Stock of the Company authorizing their
issuance of said shares upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors
shall deem advisable. This amendment also increases the authorized common
shares. The Fourth paragraph of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
shall read as follows:
"Fourth: The total number of shares of all classes which the
corporation shall have authority to issue is 40,000,000, of which
25,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock of $.00002 par value and of
which 15,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock of the par value of
$.01,(the "Preferred Stock,") with the following designations, powers,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, or restrictions:
1) The Board of Directors is expressly authorized at any time, and
from time to time, to provide for the issuance of shares of
Preferred Stock in one or more series, with such voting powers,
full or limited, but not to exceed one vote per share, or without
voting powers and with such designations, preferences and rela-
tive, participating, optional or other annual rights, and qualifica-
tions, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as shall be expressed
in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue thereof
adopted by the Board of Directors and as not expressed in this
Certificate of Incorporation or any amendment thereto, including,
but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following:
a)the designation of such series;
b)the dividend rate of such series, the conditions and dates upon
which such dividends shall be payable, the preference or relation
which such dividends shall bear to the dividends payable on any other
class or classes of capital stock of the Corporation, and whether such
dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative;
c)whether the shares of such series shall be subject to
redemption, the times, prices and other terms and conditions of such
redemption;
d)the terms and amount of any sinking fund provided for the
purchase or redemption of the shares of such series;
e)whether the shares of such series shall be convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of any other class or classes or of any other
series of any class or classes of capital stock of the Corporation,
and, if provision be made for conversion or exchange, the times,
prices, rates, adjustments, and other terms and conditions of such
conversion or exchange;
f)the extent, if any, to which the holders of the shares of such
series shall be entitled to vote as a class or otherwise with respect
to the election of directors or otherwise; provided, however, that in
no event shall any holder of any series of Preferred Stock be entitled
to more than one vote for each share of such Preferred Stock held by
him;
g)the restrictions and conditions, if any, upon the issue or
reissue of any additional Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with or
prior to such shares as to dividends or upon dissolution;
h)the rights of the holders of the shares of such series upon the
dissolution of, or upon the distribution of assets of, the
Corporation, which rights may be different in the case of a voluntary
dissolution than in the case of an involuntary dissolution.
2) except as otherwise required by law and except for such voting
powers with respect to the election of directors or other matters
as may be stated in the resolution of the Board of Directors
creating any series of Preferred Stock, the holders of any such
series shall have no voting power whatsoever.
All shares, when issued shall be fully paid and nonassessable;
and the private property of stockholders shall not be liable for
corporate debts. Stockholders shall have no preemptive rights.
All matters properly presented for shareholder vote shall be
affirmed by a majority of the shareholders voting unless the laws of
the state of Delaware absolutely require a larger vote."
NO DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
The corporate action described in this Information Statement will not
afford to stockholders the opportunity to dissent from the action described
herein and to receive an agreed or judicially appraised value for their shares.
PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENTS
The two amendments work together to reduce the number of shares outstanding,
create sufficient common shares and preferred shares to give the Company
flexibility to issue shares in connection with offerings of shares for cash,
acquisitions of other companies, financing transactions, reduce the Delaware
franchise tax burden and other general corporate purposes.
The Board of Directors deems it to be advisable to approve the one for
thirty reverse common stock split so that the Company will have a sufficient
number of shares available for possible issuances in connection with offerings
of shares for cash, acquisitions of other companies, financing transactions and
other general corporate purposes.
After the implementation of both of these amendments the Company will have
approximately 22,500,000 of authorized shares available for issuance and
15,000,000 undesignated preferred shares. The Board believes that this is an
adequate number to meet the needs of the Company for the foreseeable future.
The Company has accepted a subscription for common shares from Forsam Venture
Funding, Inc. for $117,000, conditional upon the approval of the one for thirty
reverse stock split and the subsequent increase in the authorized common stock
and subsequent effectiveness. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance
of additional shares of Common Stock in the future without the approval of
stockholders, unless such approval is required by law or regulation or is deemed
advisable by the Board of Directors.
The reverse split will result in an increase to the stockholders' equity on
a per share basis but will not result in a change to the stockholders' equity
overall. However, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock or shares of Preferred Stock without the
approval of stockholders which would have the effect of diluting the
stockholders' equity per share.
The Company believes that the Amendments will not have any effect on its
business and operations, and expects to continue such business and operations as
they are currently being conducted. Should additional shares be issued, the
other stockholders of the Company will experience a decrease in their percentage
stock ownership in the Company.
The Board of Directors will establish all rights associated with the
Preferred Stock at the time of the issuance of the Preferred Stock. The Board of
Directors may create one or more classes of Preferred Stock with such rights and
preferences the Board of Directors deems advisable with respect to the purpose
for which the Preferred Stock is issued. Such rights and preferences could
include voting rights, the right to receive dividends or distributions, and
preferences not otherwise available to holders of Common Stock upon the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company. The Company could issue shares of
Preferred Stock at a price less than market or book value.
The Company currently has no plans to issue any shares of Preferred stock.
In the future, should the Board of Directors approve a transaction involving the
issuance of shares of Preferred Stock, it is the present intention of the Board
of Directors to authorize such issuances of shares without further shareholder
approval, unless otherwise required by law or regulation or deemed advisable by
the Company in connection with listing rules or otherwise. The Board of
Directors believes that the delay caused by the necessity of obtaining
shareholder approval for a specific issuance could be to the detriment of the
Company and its stockholders. The adoption of the first amendment should have
an anti-takeover effect because the Board of Directors would have the ability to
issues shares of Preferred Stock with such rights and preferences, including
conversion to shares of Common Stock, as a defense to an attempted takeover that
the Board of Directors considers not to be in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders.
Issuance of Preferred Stock could result in the dilution of the
stockholders' equity per share and could reduce the percentage ownership of
Common Stock by existing stockholders who do not have preemptive rights.
Additionally, issuances of shares of Preferred Stock could result in the holders
of shares of Preferred Stock having preferential rights not available to the
holders of Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and
accordingly, stockholders would not have any preemptive rights to purchase any
shares of Preferred Stock when issued.
These amendments will take effect twenty days after mailing this
information to shareholders.
STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL PREVIOUSLY OBTAINED
As of August 1, 1997, the Company had 75,000,000 issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, each of which is entitled to one vote on any matter
brought to a vote of the Company's stockholders. Mick Y. Wettreich owns in the
aggregate of 30,550,000 shares of Common Stock (40.73% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock). Daniel Wettreich owns in the aggregate,
43,200,000 shares of Common Stock (57.60% of the issued and outstanding shares
of Common Stock). By The Written Consent In Lieu of Meeting dated August 1,
1997, Mick Y. Wettreich and Daniel Wettreich approved the adoption and
implementation of the Amendments by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Such
action by written consent is sufficient to satisfy the applicable requirements
of Delaware law that any amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
be approved by the stockholders. Accordingly, the stockholders will not be
asked to take further action on the Amendments at any future meeting.
