PROXY
STATEMENT
FOR
A SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO
BE HELD ON _________, ____________ __, 2009
QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING
Why
am I receiving these materials?
Universal
Energy Corp. (“
we
”,
“
Universal
” or the
“
Company
”) sent you this
proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our Board of Directors (the
“
Board
”) is soliciting
your proxy to vote at a 2009 Special Meeting of stockholders to be held on
________, ___________ __, 2009 at ______ p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, at
the _____________________, ____________, ______________. You are
invited to attend the special meeting to vote in person on the proposal
described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to attend the
special meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign,
date and return the enclosed proxy card to indicate your vote with respect to
each of the proposals described in this proxy statement.
The SEC
has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to
satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or
more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy
statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly
referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for
stockholders and cost savings for companies.
In
connection with the special meeting, a number of brokers with account holders
who are stockholders of the Company will be “householding” our proxy materials.
A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an
address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected
stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be
“householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue
until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any
time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to
receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker or contact our
Secretary (Attn: Dyron M. Watford, Universal Energy Corp., 30 Skyline Drive,
Lake Mary, Florida 32746). Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of
the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of
their communications should contact their broker.
We intend
to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about
____________, 2009 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting
and request that all stockholders voting by proxy return their completed proxy
cards to us by no later than __________, 2009.
What
am I voting on?
There is
one matter scheduled for a vote at the special meeting:
|
·
|
Proposal
No. 1:
To
approve an amendment to the amended Articles of Incorporation to increase
the authorized common shares from 6,500,000,000 to 100,000,000,000;
and
|
Each
proposal, as well as the recommendation of the Board with respect to the
proposal, is described in greater detail elsewhere in this proxy
statement.
Who
can vote at the special meeting?
Only
stockholders of record at the close of business on May ___, 2009 will be
entitled to vote at the special meeting. On this record date, there were
_______________ shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to
vote.
Am
I a stockholder of record for purposes of the special meeting?
If, on
May ____, 2009, your shares were registered directly in your name with our
transfer agent, Madison Stock Transfer, Inc., then you are a stockholder of
record for purposes of the special meeting.
What
if my shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or
dealer?
If, on
May ___, 2009, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank,
dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of
shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to
you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered
the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the special meeting. As a
beneficial owner, you have the right to direct that organization on how to vote
the shares in your account.
How
do I vote?
If you
are a stockholder of record (that is, if your shares are owned in your name and
not in “street name”), you may vote:
|
·
|
Via
the Internet at
www.proxyvote.com
;
|
|
·
|
By
telephone (within the U.S. or Canada) toll-free at
1-800-_______;
|
|
·
|
By
signing and returning the enclosed proxy card;
or
|
|
·
|
By
attending the Meeting and voting in
person.
|
If you
wish to vote by Internet or telephone, you must do so before 11:59 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on _______, _________, 2009. After that time, Internet and
telephone voting will not be permitted, and a stockholder wishing to vote, or
revoke an earlier proxy, must submit a signed proxy card or vote in
person.
In
accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), we are sending all stockholders who have not affirmatively opted to
receive paper materials, all of their proxy materials via the Internet. However,
you may opt to receive paper copies of proxy materials, at no cost to you, by
following the instructions contained in the Notice of Internet
Availability.
“Street
name” stockholders who wish to vote at the Meeting will need to obtain a proxy
form from the institution that holds their shares of record.
How
are votes counted?
Votes
will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the special meeting,
who will separately count “for” and (with respect to proposals other than the
election of directors) “against” votes, abstentions and “broker non-votes”. A
“broker non-vote” occurs when a stockholder of record, such as a broker, holding
shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular item because that
stockholder of record does not have discretionary voting power with respect to
that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the presence or absence
of a quorum but will not be counted towards the affirmative vote total for any
proposal.
How
many votes are needed to approve the proposal?
The
number of votes needed to approve the proposal is as follows:
|
·
|
Proposal
No. 1:
To be
approved, Proposal No. 1 must receive a “for” vote from the holders
of a majority of the shares of common stock as of the record date and
entitled to vote is required. Abstentions will have the same
effect as “against” votes, and broker non-votes will have no
effect.
|
How
many votes do I have?
On each
matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of our common stock
that you owned as of ______, 2009.
What
is the quorum requirement?
A quorum
of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present
if at least a majority of the outstanding shares are present at the meeting or
represented by proxy. On the record date, there were
_____________________ shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly,
___________ shares must be present at the meeting or represented by proxy in
order to establish a proper quorum to enable us to conduct a vote on each of the
proposals at the special meeting.
Your
shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy or
vote in person at the special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, a majority of the
votes present at the meeting or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to
another date.
What
does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
If you
receive more than one proxy card, then your shares are registered in more than
one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, sign and
return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted at the
special meeting.
What
if I return a proxy card but do not make specific choices?
If you
return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, all
of your shares will be voted “for” the election of the nominees for director and
“for” the other proposals described in this proxy statement. If any other matter
is properly presented at the meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named
on your proxy card) will vote your shares using his best judgment.
Can
I change my vote after submitting my proxy?
You can
change your vote with respect to any proposal by revoking your proxy at any time
prior to the commencement of voting with respect to that proposal at the special
meeting. You may revoke your proxy in any one of two ways:
|
·
|
You may submit another properly
completed proxy card with a later date. Please note that we request that
all stockholders voting by proxy return their completed proxy cards to us
by no later than ____________,
2009.
|
|
·
|
You may send a written notice
that you are revoking your proxy to our CFO (Attn: Dyron M. Watford,
Universal Energy Corp., 30 Skyline Drive, Lake Mary, Florida 32746). To
properly revoke your proxy via written notice, this notice must be
received by our Secretary by no later than the close of business on
_________, __________, 2009.
|
You may
attend the special meeting and vote in person. Bear in mind that simply
attending the meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy. In addition,
please recall that if you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”
and wish to vote in person at the special meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy
from the organization holding your account and present it to the inspector of
elections at the special meeting.
Following
the commencement of voting with respect to each proposal, you may not revoke
your proxy or otherwise change your vote with respect to each such
proposal.
How
can I find out the results of the voting at the special meeting?
Preliminary
voting results will be announced at the special meeting. Final voting results
will be published in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second
quarter of fiscal year 2009, which ends June 30, 2009.
Who
is paying for this proxy solicitation?
We will
pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy
materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by
telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not
be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also
reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding
proxy materials to beneficial owners.
PROPOSAL
NO. 1 - APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION
The Board has approved, and is
recommending to the stockholders for approval at the Special meeting, an
amendment to our Amended Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of common stock from 6,500,000 to 100,000,000,000 shares. The
Board determined that this amendment is advisable and should be considered at
the Special meeting.
The Company’s Amended Certificate of
Incorporation, as currently in effect, provides that the Company’s authorized
capital stock consists of 6,500,000,000 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value
per share. Effective as of April 30, 2009, the Board unanimously approved an
amendment to
Article 4 of
the
Company’s Amended
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of
common stock from 6,500,000,000 shares to 100,000,000,000 shares. In accordance
with Delaware law, the proposed amendment to the Amended Certificate of
Incorporation is subject to stockholder approval.
In the event that stockholder approval
of the proposed amendment is obtained, the Company expects to file a Certificate
of Amendment to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware
Secretary of State on or about the close of business on the date of the Special
meeting.
Background
As
previously reported, during the past eighteen months we completed several
private placements in order to fund our exploration and development
activities.
Our
September 2007 Financing
. Pursuant to a securities purchase
agreement dated September 10, 2007 (the “
September 2007 SPA

November 2007 Financing

of our common stock at a price of $1.00 per share
(collectively, the “
November
2007 Warrants
”). We received aggregate proceeds of
approximately $1,350,000 reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the 7
accredited investors who purchased the November 2007 Debentures and the November
2007 Warrants less a $94,500 placement commission. The purchasers of the
November 2007 Debentures and the November 2007 Warrants were also purchasers of
the September 2007 Debentures and the September 2007 Warrants.
Our
May 2008 Financing
.
Pursuant
to a securities purchase agreement dated May 29, 2008 (the “
May 2008 SPA
”) we sold an
aggregate principal amount of $1,006,618 of our Junior Convertible 8% Debentures
due May 31, 2010 (the “
May 2008 Debentures
”)
convertible into common stock at a price of per share
equal the lesser of (i) $0.25 (subject

d
ebenture and subject to equitable
adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company
relating to the Company's securities or the securities of any Subsidiary of the
Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications, extraordinary
distributions and similar events) (the "
Fixed Conversion
Price
") or (ii) 80% of the
average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock over the
twenty (20) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding
the applicable Conversion Date
, and related stock purchase warrants to
purchase up to 4,026,471 shares of our common stock at a price of
$0.25 per share (collectively, the “
May 2008
Warrants
”). We received aggregate proceeds of approximately
$770,000 reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the 13 accredited investors
who purchased the May 2008 Debentures and the May 2008 Warrants less a $53,450
placement commission. The majority of purchasers of the May 2008 Debentures and
the May 2008 Warrants were also purchasers of the September 2007 Debentures, the
September 2007 Warrants, the November 2007 Debentures and the November 2007
Warrants.
Our
October 2008 Financing
.
Pursuant
to a securities purchase agreement dated October 31, 2008 (the “
October 2008 SPA
”) we sold an
aggregate principal amount of $777,000 of our Junior Convertible 8% Debentures
due September 30, 2010 (the “
October 2008 Debentures
”)
convertible into common stock at a price of per share
equal the lesser of (i) $0.25 (subject
to resets and adjustments pursuant to the terms of this debenture and subject to
equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by
the Company relating to the Company's securities or the securities of any
Subsidiary of the Company, combinations, recapitalization, reclassifications,
extraordinary distributions and similar events) (the "
Fixed Conversion
Price
") or (ii) 80% of the
average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock over the
twenty (20) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding
the applicable Conversion Date
, and related stock purchase warrants to
purchase up to 3,108,824 shares of our common stock at a price of
$0.25 per share (collectively, the “
October 2008
Warrants
”). We received aggregate proceeds of approximately
$605,000 reflecting a 20% original issue discount to the accredited investors
who purchased the October 2008 Debentures and the October 2008 Warrants. The
majority of purchasers of the October 2008 Debentures and the October 2008
Warrants were also purchasers of the September 2007 Debentures, the September
2007 Warrants, the November 2007 Debentures and the November 2007
Warrants.
The terms
of each of the September 2007 Debentures, September 2007 Warrants, the November
2007 Debentures and the November 2007 Warrants provided that their respective
conversion or exercise price as the case may be, were to be reset in the event
that we issued shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or
exercisable for our common stock (other than certain permitted issuances) at an
effective conversion price or exercise price lower than the than applicable
conversion or exercise price of each of the September 2007 Debentures, September
2007 Warrants, the November 2007 Debentures and the November 2007
Warrants.
Accordingly,
the conversion price of each of the September 2007 Debentures and the November
2007 Debentures was reset to a price equal to the lesser of (i) the Fixed
Conversion Price or (ii)
80% of
the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock over
the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately
preceding the applicable Conversion Date; and the exercise price of the
September 2007 Warrants and the November 2007 Warrants were reset to $0.25 per
share.
Amortization
of the September 2007 Debentures and the November 2007 began monthly commencing
on September 1, 2008 and November 1, 2008 respectively. Subject to
certain conditions, the amortization may be effected through cash payments, or
at our option, through the issuance of shares of our common stock or some
combination of cash and stock, based on a price per share equal to 80% of the
lowest three (3) closing bid prices of the common stock over the 20 trading days
immediately preceding the date of such payment. We cannot provide assurance that
we will have sufficient cash available to satisfy the repurchase of the Notes
entirely in cash.
Recent
Conversions of the September 2007 Debentures and the November 2007
Debentures.
At the time we completed each of the September
2007 Financing, the November 2007 Financing, the May 2008 Financing and the
October 2008 Financing, our management believed that we had sufficient
authorized and unissued shares available for issuance (at the then applicable
conversion and exercise prices) upon (i) conversion of the September 2007
Debentures, the November 2007 Debentures, the May 2008 Debentures and the
October 2008 Debentures (collectively, the “Debentures”) and (ii) the
September 2007 Warrants, the November 2007 Warrants, the May 2008 Warrants and
the October 2008 Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”).
Following
the completion of the May 2008 Financing, certain holders of the September 2007
Debentures and the November 2007 Debentures began to convert portions of their
respective debentures. During the period from June 10, 2008 to
February 2, 2009, the Company received conversion notices from our debenture
holders as to $4,644,000 principal and interest amount of the September 2007
Debentures, the November 2007 Debentures and the May 2008
Debentures. We issued an aggregate of 6,345,251,000 shares of our
common stock in connection with these conversions.
Under
current rules and regulations promulgated by Securities and Exchange Commission
and which became effective in February of 2008, holders of our outstanding
debentures generally may convert and resell the shares received upon conversion
if they have held their respective Debentures for a period of six
months.
Due to
the decline of the market price for our common stock following the closing of
the May 2008 Financing we exhausted our authorized and unissued shares. Under
the terms of the Debentures, we are required to hold a meeting of our
stockholders for the purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares so as
to have a sufficient number of shares reserved for issuance upon conversion of
the Debentures or exercise of the Warrants. In connection with such meeting, we
are required to use our best efforts in soliciting stockholder approval of such
increase in authorized shares of Common Stock.
As of
April 1, 2009, we have issued and outstanding an aggregate principal amount of
$4,469,600 of convertible debentures; based upon currently applicable conversion
price of $0.00032 per share approximately 13,967,500,000 shares will be required
if the Debentures are converted in full; additional, 142,743,836 shares will be
required in order to satisfy our obligations under the Warrants at the current
exercise price of $0.25 per share.
The following table summarizes our
currently issued
and
outstanding shares of common stock and the number of shares that we anticipate
reserving for issuance upon approval of Proposal No.

If our
stockholders do not approve the increase in our authorized shares, the Debenture
and Warrant holders could allege a default under the terms and conditions of
Debentures and Warrants, which, if substantiated, would have a material adverse
effect on our operations. Accordingly,
an
increase in the number of shares of
common stock authorized for issuance under the Company’s Amended Certificate of
Incorporation is necessary to permit
us
to have additional shares available for
issuance in furtherance of the Company’s business purposes, as more fully set
forth below under “Reasons For and Effects Of the Proposal.”
Reasons for and Effects of the
Proposal
Due to the limited number of shares of
common stock available to be issued, the Board has unanimously approved, and
voted to recommend that the stockholders approve, an amendment to the Company’s
Amended Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to which the number of shares of
common stock which the Company would be authorized to issue would be increased
from 6,500,000,000 shares to 100,000,000,000 shares.
The Board believes that an increase in
authorized common stock would provide the Company with increased flexibility to
issue and/or sell common stock from time to time at the discretion of the Board
, and without further authorization by the stockholders, for one or more of the
following business purposes: (i) in public or private offerings as a means of
obtaining additional capital for the Company’s business; (ii) as part or all of
the consideration required to be paid for the acquisition of ongoing businesses
or other assets; (iii) to satisfy any current or future financial obligations of
the Company; (iv) in connection with the exercise of options, warrants or
rights, or the conversion of convertible securities that have been or may be
issued by the Company; or (v) pursuant to any benefit, option or stock ownership
plan or employment agreement.
The proposed increase in the number of
authorized shares of common stock will not change the number of shares of common
stock outstanding or the rights of the holders of such stock. Other than for the
possibility of issuing new shares of common stock upon the exercise of
outstanding stock options or warrants, the Company does not have any immediate
plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings with respect to the issuance
of any of the additional shares of common stock that would be authorized by the
proposed amendment to the Amended Certificate of Incorporation. However, the
Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional equity capital in the
near future through the issuance of common stock or other securities that are
convertible into, or otherwise grant the holder thereof the right to purchase,
common stock.
Any issuance of additional shares of
common stock could reduce the current stockholders’ proportionate interests in
the Company, depending on the number of shares issued and the purpose, terms and
conditions of the issuance. Moreover, the issuance of additional shares of
common stock could discourage attempts to acquire control of the Company by
tender offer or other means. In such a case, stockholders might be deprived of
benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as realization of a
premium over the market price of their shares in a tender offer or the temporary
increase in market price that could result from such an
attempt. Although the Board intends to issue common stock only when
it considers such issuance to be in the best interest of the Company, the
issuance of additional shares of common stock may have, among others, a dilutive
effect on earnings per share of common stock and on the equity and voting rights
of holders of shares of common stock. The Board believes, however, that the
benefits of providing the flexibility to issue shares without delay for any
business purpose outweigh any such possible disadvantages.
Ownership of shares of common stock
entitles each stockholder to one vote per share of common stock. Holders of
shares of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional
securities that may be issued by the Company, which means that current
stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of capital
stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership.
Stockholders wishing to maintain their interest, however, may be able to do so
through normal market purchases.
The increase in the authorized common
stock will be implemented by effecting an amendment to the Company’s Amended
Certificate of Incorporation, replacing the current Article 4 with a new Article
4 that states as follows:
“The
total number of shares of stock which the corporation is authorized to issue is
100,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.0001 per
share.”
Assuming the increase in authorized
common stock is approved by the stockholders at the Special meeting, an
amendment to the Company’s Amended Certificate of Incorporation will be filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the increase in
authorized common stock will become effective as of 5:00 p.m. EDST time on the
date of such filing. The Company expects that such filing will take place on or
shortly after the date the Special meeting is held. The increase in authorized
common stock may be abandoned by the Board at any time before or after the
Special meeting should the stockholders not approve this
proposal.
Vote
Required; Board Recommendation
To be
approved, this Proposal No. 1 must receive a “for” vote from the holders of
a majority of the shares of common stock present and entitled to vote either in
person or by proxy at the special meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect
as votes “against” Proposal No. 1; broker non-votes will have no effect.
T
he
Board recommends a vote “for” this Proposal No. 1 to INCREASE THE NUMBER OF
AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 6,500,000,000 SHARES TO 100,000,000,000
SHARES, AS SET FORTH ABOVE.
ADDITIONAL

from time to time for the actual number of days elapsed. The

Subsequently, on September 15, 2006, the Board of approved hiring this

On
October 6, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Kevin Tattersall
as chief exploration officer. Mr. Tattersall’s employment agreement was for an
initial term of two years and provided for an annual base salary of $60,000
(payable commencing October 6, 2006), an award of 812,500 shares of restricted
stock and certain bonus compensation, including a discretionary bonus as
determined by the Board . Our employment agreement with Mr. Tattersall was
terminated in accordance with the terms of a Separation Agreement and General
Release dated December 14, 2007, pursuant to which we agreed to pay Mr.
Tattersall an aggregate severance payment of $5,000.
Other
than the transaction listed above, we have not been a party to any transaction,
proposed transaction, or series of transactions in which the amount involved
exceeds $60,000, and in which, to our knowledge, any of our directors, officers,
five percent beneficial security holders, or any member of the immediate family
of the foregoing persons has had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest.
Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

2006 Non-Statutory Stock
Option Plan
The 2006
Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board on September 13,
2006. The plan was intended to advance the interests of the Company by
encouraging and enabling eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants
and advisors to acquire proprietary interests in the Company, and by providing
the participating employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and advisors
with an additional incentive to promote the success of the Company. Under this
plan, a maximum of 37,500,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001,
were authorized for issue. The vesting and terms of all of the
options are determined by the Board and may vary by optionee; however, the term
may be no longer than 10 years from the date of grant.
Director
Compensation
Currently
there is no compensation package for our board. While we expect to
create a compensation package for our board members during the next 12 months,
we do not currently have any preliminary agreements or understandings with
respect to such compensation packages.
The terms
of each of the directors expires at the next special meeting of the
stockholders, the date for which has not been set by the Board. The
officers serve at the pleasure of the Board.
All
directors hold office until the next special meeting of stockholders and until
their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors will
be elected at the special meetings to serve for one-year terms. The
Company does not know of any agreements with respect to the election of
directors. The Company has not compensated its directors for service
on the Board of Universal or any of its subsidiaries or any committee
thereof. Any non-employee director of Universal or its subsidiaries
is reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance at meetings of the Board and
any committee of the Board , although no such committee has been
established. Each executive officer of Universal is appointed by and
serves at the discretion of the Board.
None of
the officers or directors of Universal is currently an officer or director of a
company required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
other than Universal.

Section 16(a) Beneficial
Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act (“Section 16(a)”) requires our directors, executive officers
and beneficial owners of more than 10% of any class of our securities, to file
with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of
our common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and 10%
beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file.
To our
knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to
us and written representations that no other reports were required during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to its officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners
were complied with, except that two Form 4s were not timely filed for
Mr. Raley and Mr. Watford.
Stockholder Communications with the Board
Historically,
we have not adopted a formal process for stockholder communications with the
Board. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of our
stockholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and
that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We
currently believe that these informal efforts to receive and respond to
stockholder communications to the Board have proven effective in obviating the
need for any formal process.
The Board
knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the
special meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting,
it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on
such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

of the Board of Directors,
