QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE ACTION
Q. WHY HAS THE PROPOSAL BEEN MADE TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK?
A. Our board of directors believes that the authorized shares of common stock remaining available for issuance may not be sufficient to fulfill all of ProText’s obligations to holders of securities convertible into shares of common stock of ProText. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that it is in ProText’s best interests to authorize the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock as proposed. The increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is recommended by ProText’s board of directors in order to provide a sufficient reserve of such shares to fulfill such obligations and for the future growth and needs of ProText. It is the expectation of the board of directors that the Stock Split would increase the market price of the resulting common stock and thus maintain a higher level of market interest in the shares, provide additional flexibility to management with regard to the issuance of shares and maintaining the proper market capitalization of ProText. The board believes that the Stock Split will enhance ProText’s flexibility with regard to the ability to issue common stock for fulfillment of its current obligations as well as for proper corporate purposes that may be identified from time to time, such as financing, acquisitions, compensation of employees, the establishment of strategic business relationships with other companies or the expansion of ProText’s business or product lines through the acquisition of other businesses or products. The Board believes the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock will provide it more flexibility in managing the business of ProText.
Q. HAS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATIONAND AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF THE SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK?
A. The Board of Directors has approved the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock, as it believes it is in the best interests of ProText and the best interests of the current stockholders of ProText.

PROPOSAL 1
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Purpose: ProText’s board of directors has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 950,000,000 shares to 10,000,000,000 shares. ProText’s Certificate of Incorporation, as currently in effect, authorizes ProText to issue up to 950,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The board of directors has proposed an increase in the number of authorized shares of the common stock of ProText and stockholders holding in the aggregate approximately 56% of the outstanding voting power have approved the filing of the Amendment. Upon the filing of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, ProText will be authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock and the authorized number of shares of preferred stock, will remain the same.
The board of directors believes that authorizing this increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is in the best interest of ProText and its stockholders in that it could be obligated to issue common stock upon conversion of certain existing outstanding convertible debt and preferred stock in excess of the amount authorized and it will provide ProText with available shares that could be issued for various corporate purposes which may be identified in the future, including acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits, stock options, convertible debt and equity financings. ProText had no shares of common stock available for issuance after taking into account all shares reserved of convertible securities which ProText believes may not be sufficient to satisfy all of its outstanding debt obligations the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights of the Common Stock and other shares holding voting rights as well as the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
