Matters Approved by
Holders of a Majority of the Company's Common Stock
and any Other Shares Entitled to Vote with Holders of Common Stock
Introduction
For the reasons set forth below, the Board of Directors believes that the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders were served by adopting the
resolutions set forth on the first page of this Information Statement and
further discussed in the following paragraph. The Board of Directors has
approved the resolutions identified in paragraphs (1) and (3) of the first page
of this Information Statement, and has received the written consent of
shareholders who hold a sufficient number of shares of the Company's outstanding
capital stock for the adoption of those resolutions.
As result of the Company's failure to successfully implement its revised
business plan, it ceased operations on October 16, 2001. At that time, the
Company's remaining employees, officers and directors resigned. Since October
16, 2001, the shareholders who approved the resolutions to which this
Information Statement relates have determined that because the Company had very
limited assets and no operating business, the Company should seek a suitable
candidate to merge with or acquire the Company. To further these efforts, those
shareholders, by written consent dated November 14, 2001, approved the sale of
52,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to Victor Cantore for $52,000
and elected Victor Cantore as the sole Director of the Company. Additionally,
those shareholders, by written consent dated March 11, 2002, approved an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the Company's
authorized Common Stock from 69,999,999 shares to 200,000,000 shares, which
would provide the Company with sufficient authorized shares to allow the
issuance of the shares to Mr. Cantore.
Security Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of the Company's
Common Stock on March 1, 2002 by (i) each person known by the Company to
beneficially own five percent or more of the Company's outstanding Common Stock,
(ii) each of the Company's executive officers and directors (there are no
director nominees at this time) and (iii) all of the Company's executive
officers and directors as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares of
Common Stock are beneficially owned, and investment and voting power is held, by
the person or entity named as owner.

of those individuals having the same address have been grouped
together in the preceding table. Since the issuance of the shares in
1999, the Company has not received any notification from Bank August
Roth AG that the number of shares owned by any of such individuals has

Exchangeable Shares
In addition to Common Stock, the Company has authorized the issuance of one
share of Special Voting Stock. That share of Special Voting Stock is issued and
held jointly as set forth in note 11 to the preceding table. The holders of that
share of Special Voting Stock is entitled to the number of votes as is equal to
the number of Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding, which voting is on
parity with the voting rights of holders of Common Stock, except as otherwise
set forth below.
The Exchangeable Shares are shares of capital stock of 3560309 Canada Inc.
("Canco"), a subsidiary of the Company. Canco has issued and outstanding the
following class and number of shares: (i) 8,364,998 Exhangeable Shares; and (ii)
8,400 Preferred Shares. Each Preferred Share is convertible into Exchangeable
Shares according to a ratio of one Preferred Share and CDN $5.00 (equivalent to
US $3.14 applying the closing exchange rate of US $0.6280=CDN$1.00 as at
November 14, 2001) for one Exchangeable Share.
In addition to the rights appurtenant to the Exchangeable Shares of Canco
described in the preceding discussion, the Exchangeable Shares of Canco
effectively may be exchanged at any time by their respective holders, on a
share-for-share basis, for shares of Common Stock of the Company, as follows:
(a) An Exchangeable Share is redeemable at the option of its holder in
consideration for shares of the Company's Common Stock plus accrued
and unpaid dividends thereon.
(b) Under the terms of the Voting Agreement described below, the Company
granted to the trustee thereunder (as mandatary) for and on behalf of,
and for the use and benefit of, the beneficial owners of Exchangeable
Shares (other than subsidiaries of the Company) the right (the
"Exchange Right"), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an insolvency or liquidation event such as a bankruptcy or comparable
event, to require the Company to purchase from each or any of such
beneficial owners all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares held by
such beneficial owner, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Voting Agreement.
(c) The rights of the beneficial holders are subject to the right of
Planet 411 (Nova Scotia) Company ("Novaco"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company, to acquire such
8
Exchangeable Shares from the owner thereof, for generally the same
consideration as is payable upon the exercise of Novaco of a call
right that it has with respect to the Exchangeable Shares.
The purchase price payable by the Company for each Exchangeable Share to be
purchased by the Company is an amount per share equal to (a) the current price
of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the last business day prior to the
day of closing of the purchase and sale of such Exchangeable Share, which shall
be satisfied in full through the delivery of one share of the Company's Common
Stock, plus (b) accrued and unpaid dividends, if any. The purchase price for
each such Exchangeable Share so purchased may be satisfied only by delivery to
the trustee under the Voting Agreement, on behalf of the relevant beneficial
owner, of one share of the Company's Common Stock and a check for the balance,
if any, of the purchase price. To cause the exercise of the Exchange Right by
the trustee, the aforementioned beneficial owners must deliver to the trustee
certain instruments to give effect to the transfer of the shares and payment of
the taxes (if any) payable as contemplated by the Voting Agreement.
Additional provisions in Canco's articles of incorporation related to the
Exchangeable Shares include the following:
Restrictions on Canco's Payments of Dividends and Distributions. Without
the consent of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, for so long as any
Exchangeable Shares are outstanding (unless the conditions set forth in the
following discussion of the Voting Agreement are met):
o Canco shall pay no dividends (other than stock dividends paid in such
shares) on, redeem, make capital contributions with respect to, or
purchase junior shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares;
o Canco shall not issue any shares ranking superior to the Exchangeable
Shares; and
o Canco shall neither redeem nor purchase other shares of Canco ranking
equally with the Exchangeable Shares with respect to dividends or
liquidation distributions.
Liquidation Preference. Upon the liquidation or dissolution of Canco,
holders of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount per
share equal to (a) the current price of a share of the Company's Common
Stock on the last business day prior to the day of closing of the purchase
and sale of such Exchangeable Share, which shall be satisfied in full by
causing to be delivered to such holder one share of the Company's Common
Stock, plus (b) accrued and unpaid dividends, if any.
Voting Rights. Holders of Exchangeable Shares are only entitled to notice
of and to vote at meetings of Canco's shareholders to the extent that the
subject matter of such meetings relates to the dissolution of Canco or the
sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of Canco's property
other than in the ordinary course of business.
9
Voting Agreement.
On May 13, 1999, the Company, Canco, Novaco, certain other entities that
are affiliated with the Company and each of Joseph Farag, Stephane Chouinard and
Johnson Joseph, in their capacities as mandataries for shareholders of a former
subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Voting, Support and Exchange Trust
Agreement (the "Voting Agreement"). This agreement has been assigned to and
assumed by the Company. In addition to the rights with respect to the exchange
of the Exchangeable Shares in Canco for shares in the Company described in the
preceding discussion, the Voting Agreement and Canco's articles of incorporation
each provide that dividends and/or distributions of any kind may not be paid on
or with respect to the Company's Common Stock unless Canco pays the same amount
of dividends and/or distributions, as applicable (or otherwise distributes the
economic equivalent of same), to the holders of Exchangeable Shares. Record and
payment dates for all dividends and distributions by the Company and Canco are
to be identical. Furthermore, the Voting Agreement and Canco's articles of
incorporation each provide that the Company may not effect (a) any subdivisions,
consolidations or reclassifications of the Company's Common Stock or (b) any
merger of the Company (or other similar corporate event) affecting the Company's
Common Stock, without the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable
Shares if such action would cause an economic change in the rights of the
holders of the Exchangeable Shares.
For purposes of the preceding discussion, the three trustees under the
Voting Agreement, Messrs. Farag, Chouinard and Joseph, are acting as mandataries
under a special mandate executed by 9066-4871 Quebec Inc., a former subsidiary
of the Company, and its shareholders. The mandataries' purposes thereunder are
to hold all of the Exchangeable Shares, to hold one share of the Company's
Special Voting Stock (including the exercising the voting rights attaching
thereto), and to exercise retraction rights attaching to the Exchangeable
Shares. The Voting Agreement sets forth the mechanisms for carrying out and
administering these purposes.
Acquisition of Control Over the Company
Twenty (20) days after the date on which the definitive copy of this
Information Statement is filed with the SEC, the Company will issue 52,000,000
shares of Common Stock to Victor Cantore. Upon that issuance, Mr. Cantore will
hold the number of shares reported on the preceding table and, as set forth,
will possess voting control over 56% of the Company's outstanding capital stock.
Mr. Cantore obtained the funds for those shares of Common Stock from personal
sources.
When such shares are issued to Mr. Cantore, 10,310,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock will also be issued to Frank Cantore, Mr. Cantore's
brother. As discussed in the Company's Form 10-QSB for the period ended December
30, 2001, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2001, in December 2001, the Company
agreed to sell 10,310,000 shares of Common Stock to Frank Cantore for $10,310.
The purchase price was paid when the Company and Frank Cantore entered into the
agreement. Under the agreement, the shares are to be issued concurrently with
the 52,000,000 shares to be issued to Mr. Cantore.

transactions:
o Subcontracting fees aggregating $134,440 were accrued for computer
support services and equipment to a company controlled by Varujan
Tasci, an officer and equityholder of the Company,

for the Company. The warrants were to be used in settlements, if any, to be
negotiated by 9066, the Company's former subsidiary, with its creditors. Because
9066 is now defunct, the Company is of the opinion that the warrants, which were
to expire in November 2002, are no longer exercisable.
