Item 5. Other Events
The board of directors of The Canton Industrial Corporation, a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), signed a unanimous resolution, effective May 24,
1996, recommending that the Company amend its Articles of Incorporation by
changing the Company's name to CyberAmerica Corporation. The board of directors
recommended the name change to better reflect the Company's recent emphasis on
developing Internet-related business products and services.
To be effective under Nevada law, the proposed name change needed
approval from the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.001 ("Common Stock"). Accordingly, the
board's recommendation was included as a proposal to be discussed and voted upon
at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders ("Annual Meeting"). Beginning
May 30, 1996, the Company mailed a proxy statement, form of proxy, annual report
and notice of the Annual Meeting to all shareholders of record as of May 27,
1996 (the "Record Date").
The Annual Meeting was held on June 18, 1996 at the Company's executive
offices at 268 West 400 South, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. On the
Record Date, there were 6,616,782 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding,
5,227,987 of which were represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy.
The 79% attendance was sufficient to constitute a quorum under Nevada law. Of
the 6,616,782 shares eligible to vote, 4,371,696 (66%) approved the proposal to
change the Company's name.
On June 18, 1996, a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Articles
of Incorporation was filed with the State of Nevada to reflect the name change.
At that time, the board's proposal became effective. Hence, The Canton
Industrial Corporation is now known as CyberAmerica Corporation.
