Preferred Stock is required to complete this transaction. In addition to the

AUTHORIZATION OF 250,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

(Item 1 on Proxy Card)

At the Special Meeting, shareholders will vote upon the proposal to
amend Globalink's Certificate of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of up
to 250,000 shares of Globalink Preferred Stock. The Globalink Certificate of
Incorporation does not presently authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock.

The Board of Directors of Globalink has proposed that the Fourth
Article of the Globalink Certificate of Incorporation be amended to authorize
the issuance of 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock. If approved by the
stockholders, such additional authorized shares of Preferred Stock would be
available for issuance at the discretion of the Board of Directors without
further stockholder approval (subject to the Company's By-laws and Delaware law)
in connection with possible mergers and acquisitions, in connection with
employee benefit plans, and for other corporate purposes, such as the issuance
of shares as part of a plan relative to improving Globalink's capital structure,
without the significant time delay and expenses incident to the holding of a
special meeting of shareholders to consider any specific issuance.

The Globalink Preferred Stock for which authorization is sought would
become part of a new class of Globalink Stock. The Preferred Shares, when
issued, would have a par value $.01 per share. The designations, powers,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and/or restrictions of the
preferred stock shall be determined at a later date by resolution or resolutions
of the Board of Directors of the Company. No shareholder of Globalink has any
preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase any of the shares of Globalink
Preferred Stock proposed to be authorized, and, once authorized, such shares
would be available for issuance at such time and on such terms as the Board of
Directors may consider appropriate.

Upon authorization of the Preferred Stock, the Company plans to issue
four thousand five hundred (4,500) shares of Series A-I Preferred Stock in a
private placement expected to raise an additional Four Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000) in working capital for the Company. Authorization
of the Preferred Stock is required to complete this transaction. Upon issuance,
each share of Series A-I Preferred Stock would be convertible into 1,500 shares
of Preferred Stock or Common Stock of the Company with the number of common
shares to be determined by dividing (x) the Conversion Amount by (y) the lower
of (1) 85% of the product of the Conversion percentage times the arithmetic
average of the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the five consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the Conversion Date, or (2) the closing bid price on
the trading date prior to the closing date. The investors would also receive
Warrants to purchase an amount of Common Shares equal to ten (10) percent of the
Common Shares into which the Series A-I Preferred Shares are convertible. Such
Warrants are exercisable at the closing bid price of the Common Stock of the
Company on the date of the closing.

The Company recently completed a private placement in which it sold
three (3)

Prepaid Warrants of the Company to The Pangaea Fund Limited, a British Virgin
Islands Corporation, at $500,000 per Prepaid Warrant for total consideration of
$1,500,000. Each Prepaid Warrant is convertible into 1,000 shares of Series A-I
Preferred Stock or into Common Stock of the Company with the number of common
shares to be determined by dividing (x) the Exercise Amount by (y) the lower of
(1) 85% of the product of the Exercise percentage times the arithmetic average
of the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the five consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the Exercise Date, or (2) the closing bid price on the
trading date prior to the Closing Date. The three Prepaid Warrants may be
converted on the ninetieth (90th), one hundred twentieth (120th) and one hundred
fiftieth (150th) day following the Closing Date, respectively. In no event shall
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Prepaid Warrants are
convertible exceed twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Common Stock of the
Company outstanding as of the Closing Date. The Pangaea Fund Limited will also
receive warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company exercisable at any time
after the Closing Date at the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the
trading date prior to the Closing Date equal to 10% of the number of shares.

In connection with this transaction, Tanner Unman Securities, Inc., the
Placement Agent for the transaction, received warrants to purchase 20,000 shares
of Common Stock of the Company exercisable at any time after the Closing Date at
the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the trading date prior to the
Closing Date.

DELAWARE'S ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW

Section 203 (the "Anti-Takeover Law") of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "Delaware Law") prevents certain Delaware corporations,
including those whose securities are listed on the NASDAQ National Market, from
engaging, under certain circumstances, in a "business combination" (which
includes a merger or sale of more than 10% of the corporation's assets) with any
"interested shareholder" (a shareholder who acquired 15% or more of the
corporation's outstanding voting stock without the prior approval of the
corporation's board of directors) for three years following the date that such
shareholder became an "interested shareholder." A Delaware corporation may "opt
out" of the Anti- Takeover Law with an express provision in its original
certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its certificate of
incorporation or bylaws resulting from a shareholders amendment approved by at
least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. Globalink has not "opted out"
of the provisions of the Anti-Takeover Law.

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND
BY-LAWS

The provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws could
have the effect of delaying, discouraging or making more difficult changes of
control or management of the Company, including tender offer or takeover
attempts.

POTENTIAL DISADVANTAGES TO SHAREHOLDERS OF AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SHARES
AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE

If the authorization of 250,000 shares of Globalink Preferred Stock is
approved, management will have authority to issue the shares to effect
transactions that shareholders might not approve if they were given the
opportunity to vote on the transactions. Under certain circumstances, there will
be a potential for dilution to existing shareholders upon the issuance of common
shares or preferred stock. The authorized but unissued shares of Globalink
Common Stock could be used by incumbent management to make more difficult a
change in control of Globalink. Under certain circumstances, such shares could
be used to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or change in control
of Globalink or to effect a merger, sale of all or any part of Globalink's
assets or a similar transaction, since the issuance of shares could be used to
dilute the stock ownership of shares of Globalink's voting stock held by such
person. Although the Board of Directors has a fiduciary duty to act in the best
interests of Globalink's shareholders at all times, the ability of the Board to
issue additional shares of Globalink Common Stock could prevent the proposal of
transactions which some shareholders might consider to be in their best
interest.

To effect the authorization of 250,000 shares of Preferred Stock, the
Fourth Article of the Globalink Certificate of Incorporation would be amended to
read as follows:

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
Globalink Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Globalink Special
Meeting is required to approve the amendment to the Globalink Certificate of
Incorporation.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF GLOBALINK UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE GLOBALINK CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY
