INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Proxy Statement and accompanying Proxy are furnished in connection with a solicitation of Proxies by the Board of 1st Net Technologies, Inc. (the "Company) for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, to be held at:
1st NET TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 1869 W. Littleton Boulevard Littleton, Colorado 80120 on October 5, 2004, at 10:00 a.m., local time,
for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. References in this document to "us",”our”, "we" or "the Company" refer to 1st Net Technologies, Inc. and its predecessor. Shareholders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2004 will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote for each matter submitted to a vote at the meeting. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked Proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon. If the enclosed form of Proxy is executed and returned, it nevertheless may be revoked by giving another Proxy or by letter or telegram directed to the Company. Any such revocation must show the shareholder's name and must be received prior to the commencement of the meeting in order to be effective. Additionally, any shareholder attending the meeting in person, who wishes to do so, may vote by ballot at the meeting, thereby canceling any Proxy previously given. Proxy materials will be mailed to shareholders of record on or about September 2, 2004.
Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If on August 17, 2004 your shares were registered in your name with 1st Net Technologies, Inc.’s transfer agent, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you intend to attend the meeting, you are encouraged to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank
If on August 17, 2004 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 shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the annual meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the annual meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.
Multiple Shareholders Sharing the Same Address
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. Shareholders sharing a same address may either contact the Company by written request, or contact their broker, as applicable; to request single or multiple proxy statement and annual report delivery, as may be desired.
Cost of Solicitation of Proxies
The cost of solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending proxy material to the beneficial owners of common stock. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors and officers may solicit Proxies personally or by telegraph or telephone, without additional compensation.
