powers, preferences, rights, qualifications,  limitations and/or restrictions of
the  Preferred  Stock  shall be  determined  at a later  date by  resolution  or

               AUTHORIZATION OF 250,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

                             (Item 1 on Proxy Card)

         At the Special  Meeting,  shareholders  will vote upon the  proposal to
amend  Globalink's  Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of up
to 250,000 shares of Globalink  Preferred  Stock.  The Globalink  Certificate of
Incorporation does not presently authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock.

         The Board of  Directors  of  Globalink  has  proposed  that the  Fourth
Article of the Globalink  Certificate of  Incorporation  be amended to authorize
the  issuance  of  250,000  shares  of  Preferred  Stock.  If  approved  by  the
stockholders,  such  additional  authorized  shares of Preferred  Stock would be
available  for  issuance at the  discretion  of the Board of  Directors  without
further stockholder approval (subject to the Company's By-laws and Delaware law)
in  connection  with  possible  mergers and  acquisitions,  in  connection  with
employee benefit plans, and for other corporate  purposes,  such as the issuance
of shares as part of a plan relative to improving Globalink's capital structure,
without the  significant  time delay and  expenses  incident to the holding of a
special meeting of shareholders to consider any specific issuance.

         The Globalink  Preferred Stock for which  authorization is sought would
become  part of a new class of  Globalink  Stock.  The  Preferred  Shares,  when
issued,  would  have a par  value  $.01 per  share.  The  designations,  powers,
preferences,  rights,  qualifications,  limitations  and/or  restrictions of the
preferred stock shall be determined at a later date by resolution or resolutions
of the Board of Directors of the Company.  No  shareholder  of Globalink has any
preemptive  right to  subscribe  for or purchase  any of the shares of Globalink
Preferred  Stock proposed to be authorized,  and, once  authorized,  such shares
would be  available  for issuance at such time and on such terms as the Board of
Directors may consider appropriate.

         Upon  authorization  of the Preferred Stock, the Company plans to issue
four thousand  five hundred  (4,500)  shares of Series A-I Preferred  Stock in a
private  placement  expected to raise an  additional  Four  Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) in working capital for the Company.  Authorization
of the Preferred Stock is required to complete this transaction.  Upon issuance,
each share of Series A-I Preferred Stock would be convertible  into 1,500 shares
of  Preferred  Stock or Common  Stock of the  Company  with the number of common
shares to be determined by dividing (x) the  Conversion  Amount by (y) the lower
of (1) 85% of the  product of the  Conversion  percentage  times the  arithmetic
average of the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the five consecutive trading
days immediately  preceding the Conversion Date, or (2) the closing bid price on
the trading date prior to the closing  date.  The  investors  would also receive
Warrants to purchase an amount of Common Shares equal to ten (10) percent of the
Common Shares into which the Series A-I Preferred Shares are  convertible.  Such
Warrants  are  exercisable  at the closing bid price of the Common  Stock of the
Company on the date of the closing.

         The Company  recently  completed a private  placement  in which it sold
three (3)



<PAGE>



Prepaid  Warrants of the Company to The Pangaea Fund Limited,  a British  Virgin
Islands Corporation,  at $500,000 per Prepaid Warrant for total consideration of
$1,500,000.  Each Prepaid Warrant is convertible into 1,000 shares of Series A-I
Preferred  Stock or into Common  Stock of the Company  with the number of common
shares to be determined by dividing (x) the Exercise  Amount by (y) the lower of
(1) 85% of the product of the Exercise  percentage times the arithmetic  average
of the Closing  Price of the Common Stock on the five  consecutive  trading days
immediately  preceding  the Exercise  Date,  or (2) the closing bid price on the
trading  date prior to the  Closing  Date.  The three  Prepaid  Warrants  may be
converted on the ninetieth (90th), one hundred twentieth (120th) and one hundred
fiftieth (150th) day following the Closing Date, respectively. In no event shall
the  number of shares  of Common  Stock  into  which the  Prepaid  Warrants  are
convertible  exceed  twenty  percent  (20%) of the shares of Common Stock of the
Company  outstanding  as of the Closing Date. The Pangaea Fund Limited will also
receive warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company exercisable at any time
after the  Closing  Date at the  closing  bid price of the  Common  Stock on the
trading date prior to the Closing Date equal to 10% of the number of shares.

         In connection with this transaction, Tanner Unman Securities, Inc., the
Placement Agent for the transaction, received warrants to purchase 20,000 shares
of Common Stock of the Company exercisable at any time after the Closing Date at
the  closing  bid price of the  Common  Stock on the  trading  date prior to the
Closing Date.

DELAWARE'S ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW

         Section  203  (the   "Anti-Takeover   Law")  of  the  Delaware  General
Corporation Law (the "Delaware  Law") prevents  certain  Delaware  corporations,
including those whose securities are listed on the NASDAQ National Market,  from
engaging,  under  certain  circumstances,  in a  "business  combination"  (which
includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of the corporation's assets) with any
"interested  shareholder"  (a  shareholder  who  acquired  15%  or  more  of the
corporation's  outstanding  voting  stock  without  the  prior  approval  of the
corporation's  board of directors) for three years  following the date that such
shareholder became an "interested  shareholder." A Delaware corporation may "opt
out" of the  Anti-  Takeover  Law  with an  express  provision  in its  original
certificate  of  incorporation  or an express  provision in its  certificate  of
incorporation or bylaws resulting from a shareholders  amendment  approved by at
least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. Globalink has not "opted out"
of the provisions of the Anti-Takeover Law.

ANTI-TAKEOVER  EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF THE  CERTIFICATE  OF  INCORPORATION  AND
BY-LAWS

         The provisions of the  Certificate of  Incorporation  and By-laws could
have the effect of delaying,  discouraging  or making more difficult  changes of
control  or  management  of the  Company,  including  tender  offer or  takeover
attempts.

POTENTIAL DISADVANTAGES TO SHAREHOLDERS OF AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SHARES
AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE

         If the authorization of 250,000 shares of Globalink  Preferred Stock is
approved,  management  will  have  authority  to  issue  the  shares  to  effect
transactions  that  shareholders  might  not  approve  if they  were  given  the
opportunity to vote on the transactions. Under certain circumstances, there will
be a potential for dilution to existing shareholders upon the issuance of common
shares or preferred  stock.  The  authorized  but  unissued  shares of Globalink
Common  Stock could be used by  incumbent  management  to make more  difficult a
change in control of Globalink.  Under certain circumstances,  such shares could
be used to frustrate  persons  seeking to effect a takeover or change in control
of  Globalink  or to  effect a  merger,  sale of all or any part of  Globalink's
assets or a similar  transaction,  since the issuance of shares could be used to
dilute the stock  ownership of shares of  Globalink's  voting stock held by such
person.  Although the Board of Directors has a fiduciary duty to act in the best
interests of Globalink's  shareholders at all times, the ability of the Board to
issue additional  shares of Globalink Common Stock could prevent the proposal of
transactions  which  some  shareholders  might  consider  to  be in  their  best
interest.

         To effect the  authorization  of 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock, the
Fourth Article of the Globalink Certificate of Incorporation would be amended to
read as follows:

         "FOURTH:  The Corporation  shall have authority to issue twenty million
         (20,000,000)  shares of Common Stock of the par value of $.01 per share
         and two hundred fifty  thousand  shares  (250,000)  shares of Preferred
         Stock  of the par  value  $.01 per  share.  The  designations,  powers,
         preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and/or restrictions of
         the  preferred  stock shall be determined at a later date by resolution
         or resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company."

         The  affirmative  vote of the  holders of a  majority  of the shares of
Globalink Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Globalink Special
Meeting is required to approve the  amendment to the  Globalink  Certificate  of
Incorporation.

         THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF GLOBALINK  UNANIMOUSLY  RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE GLOBALINK CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.
