(1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As disclosed below under the heading, "Voting Securities and Principal Shareholders - Changes in Control," we expect that 52,046,693 shares of our common stock will be issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of our acquisition of i-level Media Systems, assuming that: (a) we complete an unregistered unit offering of at least 2,000,000 units (which cannot be assured); (b) the surrender and cancellation of 41,000,000 shares of common stock held by our founders, and the completion of certain debt settlement transactions contemplated in connection with the i-Level Acquisition. The disclosure in this table is based on the assumption that 52,046,693 shares of our common stock will in fact be issued and outstanding at that time.

(2) This person is proposed for appointment as a director or officer of our Company upon completion of the i-Level Acquisition. In compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder, the proposed changes to our board of directors cannot take effect until at least ten days after this Information Statement is mailed or delivered to all of the Company's shareholders.
(3) The address given is the current address of our Company.
4. Changes in Control
In anticipation of the closing of the I-Level Acquisition, 5,660,000 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock were split, on a 10.25 new for one old share basis, into 58,015,001 shares of common stock, and we changed our name from "Jackson Ventures Inc." to "i-Level Media Group Incorporated". At closing, we expect to issue a total of 27,000,000 post-split shares of common stock to the i-level Shareholders in consideration for their respective interests in i-level Media Systems, and a total of 41,000,000 shares of common stock held by our founders, James A. Gheyle and Adrian C. Ansell, will be surrendered for cancellation. In addition, upon closing, two outstanding loans of our Company in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 will be converted into a total of 5,000,000 units, each consisting of one post-split share of common stock and one-quarter of one non-transferable common stock purchase warrant. We also expect to issue a total of 1,031,692 post-split shares of our comm on stock to pay and settle amounts owing to various creditors of i-level Media Systems.
In addition, and as contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, we expect to complete, no later than the closing of the i-Level Acquisition, an unregistered private placement of a minimum of $1,000,000 and a maximum of $5,000,000 at a subscription price of not less than $0.50 per unit, each consisting of one post-split share of common stock and one-half of one non-transferable common stock purchase warrant.
In summary, assuming that we complete the minimum unregistered unit offering of 2,000,000 units (which cannot be assured), we expect that 52,046,693 shares of our common stock will be issued and outstanding immediately after the consummation of our acquisition of i-level Media Systems, the surrender and cancellation of the founders' stock, and the completion of the unregistered private placement and debt settlement transactions. The 27,000,000 shares of our common stock to be issued to the i-level Shareholders will represent approximately 51.88% of our then issued and outstanding shares. Accordingly, the acquisition of i-level Media Systems will result in a change of control of our Company.
We are not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change in control in the future, except the change of control described in this Information Statement.
