PROXY
STATEMENT
2009
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO
BE HELD ON AUGUST [__], 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 Annual Stockholder Meeting to be held on August
[___], 2009 at [____] a.m., local time, at 614 Canal Street, New Orleans,
Louisiana 70130. You are invited to attend the annual meeting to vote
in person on the proposal described in this proxy statement. However, you do not
need to attend the annual 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 annual 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 July
[____], 2009 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and
request that all stockholders voting by proxy return their completed proxy cards
to us by no later than August [__], 2009.
What
am I voting on?
There
is one matter scheduled for a vote at the annual meeting:
|
·
|
Proposal
No. 1:
To elect
two (2) individuals to serve on the Board for a term of one year or until
their successors are duly elected and qualified;
and
|
|
·
|
Proposal
No. 2:
To approve an amendment to the
amended Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common shares
to 100,000,000,000.
|
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 annual meeting?
Only
stockholders of record at the close of business on July 30, 2009 will be
entitled to vote at the annual meeting. On this record date, there were
6,458,840,784 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to
vote.
Am
I a stockholder of record for purposes of the annual meeting?
If, on
July 30, 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 annual meeting.
What
if my shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or
dealer?
If, on
July 30, 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 annual 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?
|
·
|
Vote By Internet
: Visit
the Web site noted on your proxy card to vote via the
Internet
|
|
·
|
Vote By
Mail
: Sign and date the proxy card you receive and
return it in the enclosed stamped, self-addressed
envelope.
|
|
·
|
Vote By
Telephone
: If you are a stockholder of record (that is,
if you hold your stock in your own name), you may vote by telephone by
following the instructions on your proxy card. The telephone
number is toll-free, so voting by telephone is at no cost to
you. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to return your
proxy card.
|
|
·
|
Vote in
Person
: Sign and date the proxy you receive and return
it in person at the annual
meeting.
|
If
your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record
(i.e., in “street name”), you will receive instructions from the holder of
record that you must follow in order for your shares to be
voted. Telephone and Internet voting will be offered to stockholders
owning shares through most banks and brokers.
How
are votes counted?
Votes
will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the annual 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:
The
election of each director contemplated by Proposal No. 1 required
that requires that the number of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee
must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that
nominee. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will
have no effect on the outcome of the
vote.
|
|
·
|
Proposal
No. 2:
To be
approved, Proposal No. 2 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 July 30, 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
6,458,840,784 shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Accordingly,
3,229,420,393 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 annual meeting.
Your
shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy or
vote in person at the annual 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 annual
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
annual 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 August [__],
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
[______], August [___],
2009.
|
You
may attend the annual 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 annual meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy
from the organization holding your account and present it to the inspector of
elections at the annual 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 annual meeting?
Preliminary
voting results will be announced at the annual meeting. Final voting results
will be published in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the third
quarter of fiscal year 2009, which ends September 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.

Vote
Required; Board Recommendation
The
Board has nominated two directors, Messrs. Watford and Raley, for election at
the annual meeting. The nominees for director will be elected by a plurality of
“for” votes properly cast in person or by proxy by the holders of common stock.
All shares represented by the proxies will be voted “for” the election to the
Board of the nominee unless authority to vote for such nominee has been withheld
in the proxy. Although the nominees have consented to serve as a director if
elected, and the Board has no reason to believe that such nominees will be
unable to serve as a director, if any such nominee withdraws or otherwise
becomes unavailable to serve, shares represented by the proxies will be voted
“for” any substitute nominee designated by the Board. Abstentions and broker
non-votes will have no effect.
The Board
recommends that you vote all of your shares “for” the election to the Board of
the nominee described in this Proposal No. 1.
PROPOSAL
NO. 2 - 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
Annual 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 Annual 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 Annual Meeting.
Background

previously reported, during the past eighteen months we completed several
private placements in order to fund our exploration and development
activities.

stock at a price of $0.88 and 6,387,868 shares of our common stock at
a price of $0.80 (collectively, the “

Warrants less a $280,000 placement commission.
Our
November 2007 Financing

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.

September 2007 Warrants, the November 2007 Debentures and the November 2007

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
June 30, 2009, we have issued and outstanding an aggregate principal amount of
$4,469,600 of convertible debentures; based upon currently applicable conversion
price of $0.00016 per share on that day, approximately 27,935,000,000 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. 2 by our stockholders:

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.”
Unless
deferred by the holders of the Senior Debentures, we are required to redeem the
Senior Debentures on a monthly basis commencing on September 1, 2008, by
payment, at our option, in cash or in shares of our common stock, one-twelfth of
the aggregate original principal amount of the Senior Debentures or
approximately $425,900 plus interest on the outstanding balance. Similarly, we
are required to redeem the Junior Debentures on a monthly basis commencing on
November 1, 2008, by payment, at our option, in cash or in shares of our common
stock, one-twelfth of the aggregate original principal amount of the Junior
Debentures or approximately $145,200 plus interest on the outstanding
balance.
The
Senior Debentures and the Junior Debentures are due and payable on
September 1, 2009 and October 31, 2009, respectively, unless sooner
converted into shares of our common stock. Any event of default could require
the early repayment of the Debentures, including the accruing of interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the Debentures if the default is not cured with
the specified grace period. We anticipate that the full amount of the Debentures
will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms
of the Debentures; however no assurance can be provided that any amount of
Debentures will be converted. If, prior to the maturity date, we are required to
repay the Debentures in full, we would be required to use our limited working
capital and raise additional funds. If we were unable to repay the notes when
required, the Debenture holders could commence legal action against us to
recover the amounts due. Any such action could require us to curtail or cease
operations.
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
Annual 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 Annual Meeting is held.
The increase in authorized common stock may be abandoned by the Board at any
time before or after the Annual Meeting should the stockholders not approve this
proposal.
Vote
Required; Board Recommendation
To be
approved, this Proposal No. 2 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 annual 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. 2 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.

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.

2006 Non-Statutory Stock

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

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,

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 annual 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 annual meeting of stockholders and until
their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors will
be elected at the annual 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.

Salaries
are provided for that part of 2008 during which each Named Executive
Officer served as such.
|
|
(2)
|
Granted
under the terms of our 2006 Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. The amounts
in this column represent the dollar amounts recognized for financial
statement reporting purposes in fiscal 2008 with respect to option grants
made in 2006, in accordance with SFAS
123R.
|
|
(3)
|
We
used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of
all 2006 option grants.
|
Messrs.
Watford and Raley were granted stock options on September 14, 2006 and September
15, 2006, respectively, which vest and therefore become exercisable on a pro
rata basis monthly over three years from the date of grant, commencing on their
date of hire. We valued the stock grant based on the following
assumptions:
Dividend
Yield (per share)
|
$0.00
|
Volatility
(%)
|
71.3%
|
Risk-free
Interest Rate (%)
|
4.625%
|
Expected
Life
|
3.0
years
|
Forfeiture
Rate
|
15%
|
Accordingly,
the weighted average fair value per option at the grant date was
$0.39.

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.
INCORPORATION

following sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008, as filed on July 23, 2009 (File No 000-50284), which is
