Item 5. Other Events
The HealthRite, Inc. Special Shareholder Meeting was held on January 3, 2001 at
9:00 A.M. at 11445 Cronhill Drive, Owings Mills, MD 21117. A quorum of
shareholder votes was present and the shareholders (93.8% voted in favor)
decided that the corporate name of HealthRite, Inc. should be changed to
Medifast, Inc. to take advantage of the Company's quality branded image to
consumers, physicians, and other medical practitioners who are potential
investors. HealthRite, Inc.'s association with the herbal industry has
historically been a negative to the investment community. Thus a name change of
HealthRite, Inc. to Medifast, Inc. was approved.
Bradley T. MacDonald, with full power of substitution, as attorneys for and in
the name, place and stead of the stockholders, voted all shares of the common
stock of HealthRite, Inc. owned or entitled to be voted by all stockholders who
did not specify voting directions.
