Notice of Action by Written Consent of Shareholders
Dear Shareholder:
Midnight Candle Company (the "Company" or “MCDL”) notifies our shareholders of record, that our Board of Directors has authorized, and shareholders holding more than 81.63% of the voting power have approved, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting, an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Midnight Candle Company” to “SEFE, Inc.”
Although we have filed the amended Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada, we have not taken action to change our name or ticker symbol with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (the “Action”). Such Action will not be effectuated until 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement. A copy of the certificate of amendment effecting the name change is included herein.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
This name change has been approved by consent of the holders of a majority of the shares outstanding, pursuant to Nevada law. Proxies are not being solicited because shareholders holding more than 81.63% of the issued and outstanding voting common stock of the Company hold more than enough shares to effect the name change and have voted in favor of the name change.
/s/ Helen C. Cary

INFORMATION STATEMENT
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
General Information
This information statement is furnished to the stockholders of record at the close of business on September 2, 2010, the “Record Date,” pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In connection with the action noted herein, the holders of more than a majority of the shares of our common stock approved the action on July 20, 2010.
Dissenters' Right of Appraisal
The Nevada Revised Statutes do not provide for dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the proposed action.
Voting Securities
Approval of the amendment of our Articles of Incorporation required the affirmative consent of a majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at the Record Date. The quorum necessary to approve the name change requires voting by a majority of the common stock issued and outstanding. As of the date of this Information Statement, 43,000,000 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. We have two consenting shareholders (the "Majority Shareholders"), who hold an aggregate of 35,100,000 shares of our common stock (or 81.6% of the total issued and outstanding number of shares). Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters brought before the shareholders. Therefore, the Majority Shareholders have the power to vote 35,100,000 shares of the commo n stock, which number is in excess of the required number of shares to approve the name change. The Majority Shareholders have consented to the proposed actions set forth herein and had and have the power to pass the name change without the concurrence of any of our other shareholders.
PROPOSAL: AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
We have received shareholder approval to amend our Articles of Incorporation, as currently in effect (the "Articles"), in order to change the name of the Company from “Midnight Candle Company” to “SEFE, Inc.” The Articles have been amended to read, as follows:
Article I of the Articles of Incorporation has been amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE I
NAME
The complete name of this corporation shall be SEFE, INC.
The Majority Shareholders have voted in favor of approving the Amended Articles, and such amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada on August 4, 2010.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS.

To receive a separate copy of this notice, stockholders may write us at the following address:
