GENERAL
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and is being furnished to the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of New Era Marketing, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). The purpose of this Information Statement is to provide notice that a majority of the Company's stockholders, have, by written consent, approved of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “New Era Marketing, Inc.” to “Fearless International, Inc.” (the “Name Change”).
This Information Statement will be mailed on or about January __, 2007 to those persons who were stockholders of the Company as of the close of business on December __, 2006 (the “Record Date”). The Name Change is expected to become effective on or about January __, 2007. The Company will pay all costs associated with the distribution of this Information Statement, including the costs of printing and mailing.
As a majority of the Company's stockholders have already approved of the Name Change by written consent, the Company is not seeking approval for the Name Change from any of the Company's remaining stockholders, and the Company's remaining stockholders will not be given an opportunity to vote on the Name Change. All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained, and this Information Statement is being furnished solely for the purpose of providing advance notice to the Company's stockholders of the Name Change as required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
ACTION TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT
The board of directors of the Company has not acted in connection with the Name Change. Under the Company’s By-laws, absent action taken by the board of directors, the record date for an action in writing by the majority shareholders is the day such action was consented to; consequently, the Record Date for purposes hereof is December __, 2006. As of the Record Date, the majority stockholders who voted for the Name Change held an aggregate of __________ shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, being equal to ___% of the number of shares then outstanding.
Pursuant to Section 78.390 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), the approval of a majority of the Company's voting power is required in order to effect the Name Change. Section 78.320(2) of the NRS eliminates the need to hold a special meeting of the Company's stockholders to approve the Name Change by providing that, unless the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws state otherwise, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the Company's voting power. Neither the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company state otherwise.
