NOTICE OF
ACTION TO BE TAKEN PURSUANT TO THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF
MAJORITY
STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS, DATED APRIL 4,
2005
To Our
Stockholders:
NOTICE IS
HEREBY GIVEN to inform the holders of record of shares of common stock and
preferred stock of Endavo Media and Communications, Inc. (the “Company,” “us,”
“we,” or “our”), that as of the close of business on March 18, 2005 (the “Record
Date”) our board of directors recommended and a majority of our stockholders
voted in favor of resolutions which accomplished the following:
|
A. |
Implemented
a reverse stock split of our common stock outstanding as of September 23,
2004 on the basis of one post-consolidation share for every sixteen
pre-consolidation shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”);
and |
|
B. |
Approved
the Certificate of Amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State to (i)
effect the Reverse Stock Split, (ii) prevent the Corporation from issuing
capital stock for less than its par value, and (iii) limit the board of
director’s authority to amend our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and bylaws to that provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation and by the applicable Delaware General Corporation
Law. |
The
Reverse Stock Split is intended to address an oversight in an earlier attempt by
the Corporation to effect a combination of our common stock and, thereby,
implement the intent of resolutions previously proposed and adopted by the board
of directors on September 14, 2004 and intended to be effective September 23,
2004.
One
consenting stockholder, SovCap Equity Partners, Ltd. (the “Consenting

3,581,585 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which votes together with the
common stock on an as-if converted basis. For purposes of voting, each share of
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 9.6 shares of our common stock.
Accordingly, the Consenting Stockholder has the right to vote an aggregate of
35,794,016 shares of our common stock. This equals 75.7% of the total voting
power entitled to vote on the foregoing resolutions as of the Record Date. The
Consenting Stockholder voted in favor of the corporate actions and possessed the
power to pass the corporate actions without the concurrence of any of our other
stockholders.

April 18,
2005
This
Information Statement is being mailed on or about April 18, 2005 to the
stockholders of record on March 18, 2005 (the “Record Date”) of Endavo Media and
Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with
the adoption of a sixteen-for-one reverse stock split of the Company’s common
stock, $.001 par value per share, outstanding as of September 23, 2004 (the
“Reverse Stock Split’). The Reverse Stock Split was adopted pursuant to the
written consent by the holder of a majority of the capital stock entitled to
vote, dated as of April 4, 2005, and as reflected in the Company’s books and
records as of such date. This Information Statement is further directed to the
approval of the Certificate of Amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to (i) effect the Reverse Stock Split, (ii)
prevent the Company from issuing capital stock for less than its par value, and
(iii) limit the board of director’s authority to amend our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws to that provided by the Certificate of
Incorporation and the applicable Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).
The actions to be taken pursuant to the written consent shall be made effective
20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement.
The
Reverse Stock Split is intended to address an oversight in an earlier attempt by
the Corporation to effect a combination of our common stock and, thereby,
implement the intent of resolutions previously proposed and adopted by the board
of directors on September 14, 2004 and intended to be effective September 23,
2004.
The board
of directors of the Company approved the adoption of the Reverse Stock Split and
Amendment by unanimous written consent dated as of April 4, 2005 as it believes
that such actions are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
The majority stockholder of the Company, which comprises 75.7% of the total
issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote on
these matters approved the adoption of the Reverse Stock Split and the Amendment
by written consent dated as of April 4, 2005. This Information Statement is
furnished only to inform stockholders of the Company of the above actions taken
by the majority stockholder of the Company before such action takes effect in
accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to
time (the “Exchange Act”).
The
elimination of the need for a special or annual meeting of stockholders to
ratify or approve the Reverse Stock Split and Amendment is authorized by Section
228(a) of the DGCL, which provides that the written consent of stockholders
holding at least a majority of the voting power may be substituted for such a
special or annual meeting. In order to eliminate the costs and management time
involved in holding a special or annual meeting and in order to effect or ratify
the Reverse Stock Split and Amendment as early as possible in order to
accomplish the purposes of the Company as hereafter described, the board of
directors of the Company voted to utilize the written consent of stockholders
holding a majority of the voting power of the Company.
WE ARE
NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU
ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
OUTSTANDING
SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
As of the
Record Date, the Company’s authorized capitalization consisted of 100,000,000
shares of common stock, $.001 par value, of which 10,639,454 were issued and
outstanding, 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value, of which
4,500,000 have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 3,817,308 of which
were issued and outstanding. Holders of common stock of the Company have no
preemptive rights to acquire or subscribe to any of the additional shares of
common stock. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on each
matter submitted to the stockholders. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock
entitles its holder to 9.6 votes (due to 9.6-to-1 conversion ratio) on each
matter submitted to the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
because a consenting stockholder holding at least a majority of the voting
rights of all outstanding shares of capital stock has voted in favor of the
foregoing proposals by resolution dated April 4, 2005 and has sufficient voting
power to approve such proposals through its ownership of capital stock, no other
stockholder consents will be solicited in connection with this Information
Statement.
The
Company has asked brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to
forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the common stock
held of record by such persons and will reimburse such persons for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in forwarding such material.
This
Information Statement will serve as written notice to stockholders pursuant to
Section 228(e) of the DGCL.

REVERSE
STOCK SPLIT AND AMENDMENT
General
The board
of directors has adopted, and the majority stockholder of the Company has
approved, pursuant to the written consent dated as of April 4, 2005, a Reverse
Stock Split and Amendment.
The
Reverse Stock Split is intended to address an oversight in an earlier attempt by
the Corporation to effect a combination of our common stock and, thereby,
implement the intent of resolutions previously proposed and adopted by the board
of directors on September 14, 2004 and intended to be effective September 23,
2004. The Amendment is intended to (i) prevent the Company from issuing capital
stock for less than its par value and (ii) limit the board of director’s
authority to amend our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
bylaws to that provided in our Certificate of Incorporation and by the
applicable DGCL.
The board
of directors of the Company approved the adoption of the Reverse Stock Split and
Amendment by unanimous written consent as it believes the corporate actions are
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Vote
Required
Adoption
of the Reverse Stock Split and Amendment requires approval by holders of at
least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock who are
present, or represented, and entitled to vote thereon, at a special or annual
meeting of stockholders. Section 228(a) of the DGCL provides that the written
consent of stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power may be
substituted for such a special or annual meeting.
Our board
of directors fixed the close of business on March 18, 2005 as the record date
for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the above noted
action.
One
consenting stockholder, SovCap Equity Partners, Ltd. (the “Consenting
Stockholder”), holds a total of 1,410,800 shares of our common stock and
3,581,585 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which votes together with the
common stock on an as-if converted basis. For purposes of voting, each share of
Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 9.6 shares of our common stock.
Accordingly, the Consenting Stockholder has the right to vote an aggregate of
35,794,016 shares of our common stock. This equals 75.7% of the total voting
power entitled to vote on the foregoing resolutions as of the Record Date. The
Consenting Stockholder voted in favor of the corporate actions and possessed the
power to pass the corporate actions without the concurrence of any of our other
stockholders.
Distribution
and Costs
We will
pay all costs associated with the distribution of this information statement,
including the costs of printing and mailing. In addition, we will only deliver
one information statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address, unless we
have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. Also,
we will promptly deliver a separate copy of this information statement and
future stockholder communication documents to any stockholder at a shared
address to which a single copy of this information statement was delivered, or
deliver a single copy of this information statement and future stockholder
communication documents to any stockholder or stockholders sharing an address to
which multiple copies are now delivered, upon written request to us at our
address noted above.
Stockholders
may also address future requests regarding delivery of information statements
and/or annual reports by contacting us at the address noted above.
Dissenters’
Right Of Appraisal
No action
will be taken in connection with the proposed corporate actions by our board of
directors or the voting stockholders for which the DGCL, our Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s bylaws provide a right of
a stockholder to dissent and obtain appraisal of or payment for such
stockholder’s shares.
Effect
Of The Reverse Stock Split
The
Reverse Stock Split would not effect the registration of our common stock under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor will it change our periodic
reporting and other obligations thereunder.
The
number of stockholders of record would not be effected by the Reverse Stock
Split. The authorized number of shares of our common stock and the par value of
our common stock under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
would remain the same following the effective time of the Reverse Stock
Split.
The
number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of September 23,
2004 would be reduced following the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split in
accordance with the following formula: every sixteen shares of our common stock
owned by a stockholder will automatically be changed into and become one new
share of our common stock. Any shares issued and outstanding after September 23,
2004 would be uneffected. Our Series A Preferred Stock contains a provision that
prevents the adjustment of the conversion ratio in the event of a reverse stock
split or combination. Accordingly, the conversion ratio of the Series A
Preferred Stock will remain uneffected by the Reverse Stock Split and, as of
September 2005, each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock will continue
to be convertible into 9.6 shares of our common stock.
As
described below, all fractional share amounts resulting from the Reverse Stock
Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share in lieu of issuing any
fractional share.
We
currently have no intention of going private, and this proposed Reverse Stock
Split is not intended to be a first step in a going private transaction and will
not have the effect of a going private transaction covered by Rule 13e-3 of the
Exchange Act. Moreover, the Reverse Stock Split does not increase the risk of us
becoming a private company in the future. We will continue to be subject to the
periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 following
the Reverse Stock Split of our common stock.
The
number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock effectively will be
increased significantly by the Reverse Stock Split of our common stock. The
Reverse Stock Split will have the effect of decreasing the number of our
outstanding shares of our common stock.
The
issuance in the future of such additional authorized shares may have the effect
of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the
stock ownership and voting rights, of the currently outstanding shares of our
common stock.
The
effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common
stock may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the
issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or
oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions of our articles of
incorporation or bylaws. Such a use of these additional authorized shares could
render more difficult, or discourage, an attempt to acquire control of the
Company through a transaction opposed by our board of directors. At this time,
our board of directors does not have plans to issue any common shares resulting
from the effective increase in our authorized but unissued shares generated by
the Reverse Stock Split.
Federal
Income Tax Consequences
We will
not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
The
following description of the material federal income tax consequences of the
Reverse Stock Split to our stockholders is based on the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder,
judicial authority and current administrative rulings and practices as in effect
on the date of this information statement. Changes to the laws could alter the
tax consequences described below, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not
sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reverse
Stock Split. This discussion is for general information only and does not
discuss the tax consequences that may apply to special classes of taxpayers
(e.g., non-residents of the United States, broker/dealers or insurance
companies). The state and local tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split may
vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending upon the jurisdiction in
which such stockholder resides. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors
to determine the particular consequences to you.
We
believe that the likely federal income tax effects of the Reverse Stock Split
will be that a stockholder who receives a reduced number of shares of our common
stock will not recognize gain or loss. With respect to a Reverse Stock Split,
such a stockholder’s basis in the reduced number of shares of our common stock
will equal the stockholder’s basis in its old shares of our common stock. The
holding period of the post-effective Reverse Stock Split shares received will
include the holding period of the pre-effective Reverse Stock Split shares
exchanged.
Effective
Date
The
Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time
on the date we file the Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, however,
the Reverse Stock Split will only effect those shares of our common stock
outstanding as of September 23, 2004. Effectively, this makes the effective date
September 23, 2004. Accordingly, except for stockholders who currently hold
fewer than sixteen shares, on such date, all shares of our common stock that
were issued and outstanding immediately on September 23, 2004 will be,
automatically and without any action on the part of the stockholders, converted
into new shares of our common stock in accordance with the sixteen-for-one
exchange ratio.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
The
Company has received no indication from any of its directors or non-employee
directors of any intent to oppose any action to be taken by the Company. There
have been no proposals for action submitted to the Company by any stockholders
other than the proposal, which is the subject of this Information
Statement.
