QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE ACTION
Q. WHY HAS THE PROPOSAL BEEN MADE TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION?
A.

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.

VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL
The board of directors of ProText has adopted, ratified and approved the proposal to authorize the Amendment, and stockholders of the Company holding approximately 51% of the voting power on the Record Date have approved the Amendment.
PROPOSAL
GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO CONDUCT UP TO A 800 FOR ONE SHARE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF PROTEXT’S COMMON STOCK.
Purpose: ProText’s board has unanimously adopted a resolution seeking stockholder approval to authorize the board, in its discretion to effectuate a reverse stock split within the next 12 months. The Stock Spilt would reduce the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. The board had determined that it would be in the Company’s best interest in the near future to conduct a reverse split of its common stock up to a 800 for 1 basis and has received the consent of holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s securities to authorize the board to conduct such a reverse split in the Board’s discretion within the next 12 months.
The primary purposes of the Stock Split are to accomplish the following:
a) increase the per share price of the common stock to help maintain the interest of the markets;
b) reduce the number of outstanding shares of common stock to a level more consistent with other public companies with a similar anticipated market capitalization; and
c) provide the management of the Company with additional flexibility to issue shares to facilitate future stock acquisitions and financing for the Company.
For the above reasons, the board believes that the Stock Split is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. There can be no assurance, however, that the Stock Split will have the desired benefits.
The board believes that a reverse split would provide for the combination of the presently issued and outstanding shares of common stock into a smaller number of shares of identical common stock. The Stock Split would affect all common stockholders uniformly. This process, that is known as a reverse split, would take up to 800 shares of the presently issued and outstanding common stock on the effective date of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would carry out the reverse split and convert those shares into one share of the post-reverse stock split common stock. The conversion rate of all securities convertible into common stock would be proportionately adjusted.
The board has indicated that fractional shares will not be issued. Instead, ProText will issue one full share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process. Each stockholder will hold the same percentage of the outstanding common stock immediately following the Stock Split as that stockholder
