SMART MOVE, INC.
5990 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Suite 390
Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111
PROXY STATEMENT
The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the
Board
) of Smart
Move, Inc. (
Smart Move
or the
Company
), a Delaware corporation. The proxy is solicited for use
at a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the
Special Meeting
) to be held at 10:00 a.m. local time on
October [27], 2008, at the Companys principal executive offices at 5990 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Suite
390, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111. The approximate date on which this proxy statement and the
accompanying notice and proxy are first being mailed to stockholders is September
_____, 2008.
Voting
Only stockholders of record at the close of business on September 18, 2008 are entitled to
notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the
meeting. At the close of business on that date, the Company had outstanding 17,460,111 shares of
its common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the
Common Stock
). Each share of Common Stock is
entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Special Meeting.
The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the Companys capital stock on the record date will constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the Special Meeting.
Approval of the proposal to amend the Companys Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse
stock split requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the
holders of our Common Stock. Approval of the proposal to adjourn the meeting as may be necessary
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote on that
proposal.
You may vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN with respect to the proposal described in this
proxy statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the determination of
whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or
nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner in street name does not vote on a particular
proposal, because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to
that proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. In tabulating the
votes on the proposal described in this proxy statement, abstentions and broker non-votes will be
treated as shares that are present but that have not been voted, and, accordingly, will have the
same effect as negative votes on the proposal.
Revocability of Proxies
Proxies that are properly executed and received by the Company before the Special Meeting will
be voted at the Special Meeting. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the proxy
at any time prior to its exercise. Any stockholder of record can revoke a proxy by delivering an
instrument of revocation prior to the Special Meeting to the Secretary of the Company, by
submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a date or time later than the date or time of the proxy
being revoked, or by voting in person at the Special Meeting. Mere attendance at the Special
Meeting will not serve to revoke a proxy. A stockholder whose shares of our Common Stock are held
in street name through a brokerage firm, bank or other institution should contact that
institution in order to revoke or change his, her or its proxy or to vote at the Special Meeting in
person.
Solicitation of Proxies
Solicitation of proxies may be made by directors, officers and other employees of the Company
by personal interview, telephone, facsimile transmittal or electronic communications. No additional
compensation will be paid for any such services. The Company will bear the costs of solicitation.
The Company may retain a proxy solicitor to aid in the solicitation of proxies and to verify
records relating to the solicitations. The extent to which these proxy soliciting efforts will be
necessary depends entirely upon how promptly proxies are received. You should deliver your proxy in
accordance with the instructions set forth on the proxy without delay.

PROPOSAL ONE
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANYS AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
Introduction
The Board is unanimously recommending that the stockholders approve an amendment to the
Companys Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys outstanding
shares of Common Stock at a ratio within a range of one-for-ten to one-for-fifteen. If this
proposal is approved, the Board will have the authority to decide, within twelve months from the
Special Meeting, whether to implement the split and the exact amount of the split within this
range, if it is to be implemented. If the Board decides to implement the split, it will become
effective upon the filing of the amendment to the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the
Effective Date
). If the
reverse split is implemented, the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would be
reduced in accordance with the exchange ratio selected by the Board. The total number of authorized
shares of Common Stock would not, however, be reduced from the current total of 100,000,000. The
form of amendment to the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the
reverse split is attached as
Annex A
to this proxy statement.
Purpose and Background of the Reverse Split
The Boards primary objectives in proposing the reverse split are to raise the per share
trading price of our Common Stock and to increase the number of shares of our authorized but
unissued Common Stock. The Board believes that the reverse split would, among other things, (i)
facilitate higher levels of institutional stock ownership, where investment policies generally
prohibit investments in lower-priced securities; (ii) better enable the Company to raise funds it
requires to finance its planned operations, and (iii) facilitate the Companys capital raising
efforts in a manner that better enables the Company to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on
the American Stock Exchange.
Our Common Stock is currently listed on the American Stock Exchange. In June 2008, the
Company received a letter from the American Stock Exchange (the Exchange) which indicated that it
did not meet certain financial condition requirements of the Exchanges continued listing standards
set forth in Section 1003(a)(iv) of the AMEX Company Guide and stated that the Company had until
July 21, 2008 to provide the Exchange with a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with
the continued listing standards. In order to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the
Exchange, Smart Move timely submitted a plan advising the Exchange of the actions the Company has
and will take that would bring the Company into compliance with the continued listing standards.
On September 5, 2008, the Company was notified by the Exchange that its plan was accepted. The
Company has until the end of the plan period, December 22, 2008, to implement its plan to regain
compliance with the continued listing standards of the Exchange. The Company will be able to
maintain the listing of its Common Stock and listed Warrants on the American Stock Exchange during
the plan period, provided the Company periodically confirms to AMEX that the Company is making
progress consistent with the plan, which includes raising additional working capital.
If a delisting from the American Stock Exchange were to occur, the Common Stock would trade on
the OTC Bulletin Board or in the pink sheets. These alternative markets are generally considered
to be less efficient than, and not as broad as, the American Stock Exchange and would not enable
the Company to retain eligibility to use a short form registration statement for its primary
offerings. We are also obligated under our securities purchase agreement entered into in January
2008 to use our best efforts to remain listed on a stock exchange.
The closing sale price of the Companys Common Stock on September 18, 2008 was $0.2799 per
share. The Board further believes that an increased stock price may encourage investor interest and
improve the marketability of the Companys Common Stock to a broader range of investors, and thus
improve liquidity. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many
brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either
prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from
recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. The Board believes that the anticipated higher
market price resulting from a reverse stock split would enable institutional investors and
brokerage firms with policies and practices such as those described above to invest in the
Companys Common Stock.
Furthermore, the Board believes that the reverse split would facilitate the Companys efforts
to raise the capital it requires to fund its planned operations. As previously disclosed in the
Companys periodic reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company needs to raise additional capital and
may elect to do so through the issuance of equity securities in a private or public offering of its
securities. The reverse split would reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding without
reducing the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock. As a result, the Company would have
a larger number of authorized but unissued shares from which to issue additional shares of Common
Stock, or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, in equity financing
transactions.
The shares to be sold in any future equity offering would be issued from the Companys
authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. Because the offering price of any such future
offering is not known at this time, the Company cannot anticipate the exact number of shares that
would be issued in an offering. Aside from the anticipated equity capital raises required to
finance its operations, the Company currently has no other intended uses for the additional shares
that would be available for issuance following the reverse stock split.
The purpose of seeking stockholder approval of a range of exchange ratios from one-for-ten to
one-for-fifteen (rather than a fixed exchange ratio) is to provide the Company with the flexibility
to achieve the desired results of the reverse stock split. If the stockholders approve this
proposal, the Board would effect a reverse stock split only upon the Boards determination that a
reverse stock split would be in the best interests of the Company at that time. If the Board were
to effect a reverse stock split, the Board would set the timing for such a split and select the
specific ratio within the range of one-for-ten to one-for-fifteen. No further action on the part of
stockholders would be required to either implement or abandon the reverse stock split. If the
stockholders approve the proposal, and the Board determines to effect the reverse stock split, we
would communicate to the public additional details regarding the reverse split, including the
specific ratio selected by the Board. If the Board does not implement the reverse stock split
within twelve months from the Special Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement
the reverse stock split will terminate. The Board reserves its right to elect not to proceed with
the reverse stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer
in the best interests of the Company.
Material Effects of Proposed Reverse Stock Split
The Board believes that the reverse split will increase the price level of the Companys
Common Stock in order to, among other things, generate interest in the Company among investors. The
Board cannot predict, however, the effect of the reverse split upon the market price for the Common
Stock, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like circumstances is
varied. The market price per share of Common Stock after the reverse split may not rise in
proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding resulting from the
reverse split, which would reduce the market capitalization of the Company. The market price per
post- reverse split share may not promote investment community interest in the Companys Common
Stock or support the Companys ability to meet the requirements for continued listing on The
American Stock Exchange. The market price of the Common Stock is also likely based on our
performance and other factors, the effect of which the Board cannot predict.
The reverse split will affect all stockholders of the Company uniformly and will not affect
any stockholders percentage ownership interests or proportionate voting power, except to the
extent that the reverse split causes any of the stockholders who would otherwise own a fractional
share to receive a greater or lesser proportion of total shares than previously held due to
non-issuance of fractional shares and rounding. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, stockholders
who would otherwise own a fractional share will receive a number of total shares equal to the
nearest whole number (rounding up in the case of 0.5 shares).
The principal effects of the reverse split will be that (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced from 17,460,111 shares as of September 18, 2008 to a
range of 1,746,011 to 1,164,007 shares, depending on the exact split ratio chosen by the Board ,
(ii) all outstanding options and warrants entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of
Common Stock will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise of their options or warrants,
one-tenth to one-fifteenth of the number of shares of Common Stock which such holders would have
been able to purchase upon exercise of their options or warrants immediately preceding the reverse
split, at an exercise price equal to ten to fifteen times the exercise price specified before the
reverse split, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid upon exercise
thereof immediately preceding the reverse split and (iii) the number of shares reserved for
issuance pursuant to the Companys 2006 Equity Incentive Plan will be reduced to one-tenth to
one-fifteenth of the number of shares currently included in each such plan.
5
The reverse split will not affect the par value of the Common Stock. As a result, on the
effective date of the reverse split, the stated capital on the Companys balance sheet attributable
to the Common Stock will be reduced to one-tenth to one-fifteenth of its present amount, depending
on the exact amount of the split, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with
the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book
value of the Common Stock will be retroactively increased for each period because there will be
fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.
The amendment will not change the terms of the Common Stock. After the reverse split, the
shares of common stock will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions
and will be identical in all other respects to the Common Stock now authorized. Each stockholders
percentage ownership of the new Common Stock will not be altered except for the effect of
eliminating fractional shares by rounding. The Common Stock issued pursuant to the reverse split
will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The reverse split is not intended as, and will not have
the effect of, a going private transaction covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Following the reverse split, the Company will continue to be subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The reverse split will not change the number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or the
terms of the authorized (but unissued) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Because the Company
will not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the overall effect will be a
proportionate increase in authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as a result of the reverse
stock split. These shares may be issued at the Boards discretion. Any future issuances will have
the effect of diluting the percentage of stock ownership and voting rights of the present holders
of Common Stock. If the reverse split is not approved, the Company may be unable to raise
additional capital. We currently estimate that we have sufficient capital to fund our operations
only through the remainder of 2008 without raising money from external sources.
Procedure for Effecting Reverse Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates
If the reverse split is approved by the Companys stockholders, and the Board determines it is
in the best interests of the Company to effect the split, the reverse stock split would become
effective at such time as the amendment to the Companys Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, the form of which is attached as
Annex A
to this proxy statement, is filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Upon the filing of the amendment, all of the Companys
existing Common Stock will be converted into new Common Stock as set forth in the amendment.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, stockholders will be notified that the
reverse split has been effected. Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., the Companys transfer agent, will
act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of
pre-reverse split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing
pre-reverse split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-reverse split shares in
accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal that will be delivered to
the Companys stockholders. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until the
stockholder has surrendered to the exchange agent his, her or its outstanding certificate(s)
together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT
DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Stockholders whose shares are held by their stockbroker do not need to submit old share
certificates for exchange. These shares will automatically reflect the new quantity of shares based
on the reverse split. Beginning on the Effective Date, each certificate representing pre-reverse
split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse split
shares.
Fractional Shares
The Company will not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse split shares in connection
with the reverse split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, stockholders who would otherwise own
a fractional share will receive a number of total shares equal to the nearest whole number
(rounding up in the case of 0.5 shares).
6
Criteria to be used for Decision to Apply the Reverse Stock Split
If the stockholders approve the reverse stock split, the Board will be authorized to proceed
with the reverse split. In determining whether to proceed with the reverse split and setting the
exact amount of split, if any, the Board or committee will consider a number of factors, including
market conditions, existing and expected trading prices of the Companys Common Stock, the American
Stock Exchange listing requirements, the Companys additional funding requirements and the amount
of the Companys authorized but unissued Common Stock.
No Dissenters Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders will not be entitled to dissenters
rights with respect to the proposed amendment to the charter to effect the reverse stock split, and
the Company does not intend to independently provide stockholders with any such right.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the
reverse stock split as of the date hereof. Except where noted, this summary deals only with a
stockholder who holds Common Stock as a capital asset.
For purposes of this summary, a U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of Common Stock who is
any of the following for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) a citizen or resident of the United
States, (ii) a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any
state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S.
federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if (1) its administration is
subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons
have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (2) it has a valid election in
effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. A non-U.S. holder
of Common Stock is a stockholder who is not a U.S. holder.
This summary is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities
may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax considerations
different from those summarized below. This summary does not represent a detailed description of
the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a stockholder in light of his, her or its particular
circumstances. In addition, it does not represent a description of the U.S. federal income tax
consequences to a stockholder who is subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax
laws and does not address the tax considerations applicable to stockholders who may be subject to
special tax rules, such as:
|
|
|
partnerships;
|
|
|
|
|
financial institutions;
|
|
|
|
|
insurance companies;
|
|
|
|
|
real estate investment trusts;
|
|
|
|
|
regulated investment companies;
|
|
|
|
|
grantor trusts;
|
|
|
|
|
tax-exempt organizations;
|
|
|
|
|
dealers or traders in securities or currencies;
|
|
|
|
|
stockholders who hold Common Stock as part of a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging,
conversion or integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes or U.S. holders that have
a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;
|
|
|
|
|
stockholders who actually or constructively own 10 percent or more of the Companys voting stock; or
|
|
|
|
|
a non-U.S. holder who is a U.S. expatriate, controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign
investment company.
|
Moreover, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, alternative
minimum tax or other tax consequences of the reverse stock split.
If an entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common
Stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the
activities of the partnership.
7
Each stockholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisers concerning the particular
U.S. federal tax consequences of the reverse stock split, as well as the consequences arising under
the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction, including any state, local or foreign income tax
consequences.
To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, each holder of Common Stock is
hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this proxy statement is not
intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by such holder for the purpose of avoiding
penalties that may be imposed on such holder under the Code; (b) any such discussion has been
included by the Company in furtherance of the reverse stock split on the terms described herein;
and (c) each such holder should seek advice based on his, her or its particular circumstances from
an independent tax advisor.
Generally, a reverse stock split will not result in the recognition of gain or loss by a U.S.
holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes if no cash is received in lieu of a fractional share.
The aggregate adjusted basis of the aggregate new shares of Common Stock received will be the same
as the aggregate adjusted basis of the Common Stock exchanged for such new shares. The holding
period of the new, post-reverse split shares of the Common Stock resulting from implementation of
the reverse stock split will include a U.S. holders holding periods for the pre-reverse split
shares.
Approval Required
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Companys capital stock
outstanding as of the record date is required to approve the amendment of the Companys Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse split of the Common Stock in the range of
1:10 to 1:15. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as having been voted on the
proposal, and therefore will have the same effect as negative votes.
Additionally, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement we entered into in January 2008,
we are required to obtain the consent of investors holding a majority of our January 2008 Secured
Convertible Debentures issued in the financing to effect the reverse stock split.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR PROPOSAL ONE.

PROPOSAL TWO
ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL
PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL NO. 1
At the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof, our stockholders may be
asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit
additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of the adoption of the reverse stock
split.
Approval Required
The adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there
are not sufficient votes in favor of the reverse stock split requires the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or by proxy at the Special
Meeting.
Recommendation of the Board
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR PROPOSAL TWO.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF OUR COMMON STOCK
The following table sets forth information as of September 18, 2008, as to the beneficial
ownership of shares of our Common Stock, in each case, by:
|
|
|
each person (or group of affiliated persons) known to us to beneficially own more
than 5% of the outstanding shares of our voting stock;
|
|
|
|
|
each of our directors and executive officers;
|
|
|
|
|
all of our executive officers and directors as a group.
|
The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under the SECs
rules and generally includes voting or investment power over shares. The information does not
necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under SEC rules, the number of
shares of common stock deemed outstanding includes shares issuable upon conversion of other
securities, as well as the exercise of conversion rights under convertible securities or warrants
held by the respective person or group that may be exercised within 60 days after September 18,
2008. The percentage of beneficial ownership shown in the following table is based on 17,460,111
outstanding shares of common stock as of September 18, 2008. For purposes of calculating each
persons or groups percentage ownership, shares of common stock issuable pursuant to options,
warrants or convertible securities exercisable within 60 days after September 18, 2008 are included
as outstanding and beneficially owned for that person or group but are not treated as outstanding
for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group.
9
Except as indicated in the footnotes to the table below, each stockholder named in the table
has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown in the table as beneficially
owned by such stockholder. Each share has one vote.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS FOR 2009 ANNUAL MEETING
Inclusion of Proposals in Our Proxy Statement and Proxy Card under the SECs Rules.
Any proposal of a stockholder intended to be included in our proxy statement and form of
proxy/voting instruction card for the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of
the SECs rules, must also be received by us no later than January 14, 2009, unless the date of our
2009 annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from June 24, 2009, in which case the proposal
must be received a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials. All
proposals should be addressed to Smart Move, Inc., 5990 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Suite 390, Greenwood
Village, CO 80111, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Bylaw Requirements for Stockholder Submission of Nominations and Proposals.
A stockholder recommendation for nomination of a person for election to our Board of Directors
or a proposal for consideration at our 2009 annual meeting must be submitted in accordance with the
advance notice procedures and other requirements set forth in Article II of our bylaws. These
requirements are separate from, and in addition to, the requirements discussed above to have the
stockholder nomination or other proposal included in our proxy statement and form of proxy/voting
instruction card pursuant to the SECs rules. Our bylaws separately require that the proposal or
recommendation for nomination must be received by our Corporate Secretary at the above address no
later than January 14, 2009, or, if the date of the 2009 annual meeting is changed by more than 30
days from June 24, 2009, not later than the later of the close of business on the 30th day prior to
the 2009 annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the 2009
annual meeting was mailed if less than 40 days notice of the date of the meeting was given.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC has approved a rule governing the delivery of disclosure documents. This rule allows
the Company to send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more
stockholders of the Company reside, if it believes that the stockholders are members of the same
family. Some banks, brokers and other intermediaries may be participating in this practice of
householding proxy statements and annual reports. This rule benefits both the Company and its
stockholders as it reduces the volume of duplicate information received at a stockholders house
and helps reduce the Companys expenses. Each stockholder, however, will continue to receive
individual proxy cards or voting instructions forms.
Stockholders that have previously received a single set of disclosure documents may request
their own copy by contacting their bank, broker or other nominee record holder. The Company will
also deliver a separate copy of this proxy statement to any stockholder upon written request to
Smart Move, Inc., 5990 Greenwood Plaza Blvd., Suite 390, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111,
Attention: Corporate Secretary.
OTHER MATTERS
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board does not intend to bring any other business
before the Special Meeting, and so far as is known to the Board, no other matters will be presented
to the stockholders for consideration at the Special Meeting. If, however, any other matter is
properly presented at the Special Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the form enclosed with
this Proxy Statement will be voted on such matter in accordance with the judgment of the person or
persons voting such proxies, unless the proxy otherwise provides.
