INFORMATION STATEMENT
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE
REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY
INTRODUCTION
This Information Statement is being furnished to our stockholders
(Seven Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation ["Seven Ventures," "we", "our" or
"us"]), in connection with the following actions unanimously approved by our
Board of Directors:
1. To effect a reverse split of our outstanding common
stock on a basis of 1 for 175, while retaining
the current par value of $0.001, with appropriate
adjustments to the capital accounts of our Company, with
no stockholder to be reduced below 100 shares, on a per
stockholder of record basis, and with all shares issued
for the 100 share rounding to be repaid to us by certain
principal stockholders canceling a like number of shares
(estimated at 3,558 shares); and
2. To authorize the Board of Directors to change the name of
our Company to conform with the business or industry that
the Board of Directors determines we engage in or conforms
with the name or names of any properties or businesses
acquired by our Company.
These resolutions were unanimously adopted by our Board of Directors
and five persons (including members of our management) who own in excess of a
majority of our outstanding voting securities (the "Majority Stockholders"),
in accordance with Sections 315 and 320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the
"Nevada Law"). See the captions "Voting Securities and Principal Holders
Thereof" and "Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and Vote Required for
Approval," herein. These five persons collectively own 33,226,000 shares or
approximately 55.7% of our outstanding voting securities. No other votes are
required or necessary to adopt these amendments, and none are being solicited
hereunder. By their written consent, these five persons are not part of a
"group" for the purposes of Schedule 13D of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
APPROXIMATE DATE OF MAILING: November 22, 2002.
The resolutions adopted by these persons authorize the reverse split
and potential name change. These resolutions will become effective on the
opening of business on December 16, 2002, or 21 days from the mailing of this
Information Statement to our stockholders; and any executive officer, as
required by Nevada Law, is entitled to execute and file the Certificate of
Amendment with the Secretary of the State of the State of Nevada effecting the
reverse split and such other agencies as may be deemed required or necessary.
These resolutions are the only matters covered by this Information
Statement.
Section 390 of the Nevada Law provides that every amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation of a corporation shall first be adopted by the
resolution of the Board of Directors and then be subject to the approval of
persons owning a majority of the securities entitled to vote on any such
amendment. Sections 315 and 320, respectively, provide that the Board of
Directors, by unanimous written consent, and persons owning the required
majority of voting securities necessary to adopt any action that would
otherwise be required to be submitted to a meeting of stockholders, may adopt
such action without a meeting by written consent. See the caption "Amendment
to the Articles of Incorporation and Vote Required for Approval," herein.
The directors, executive officers and others comprising the Majority
Stockholders who have adopted the resolutions to amend our Articles of
Incorporation to effect the reverse split outlined above collectively own
approximately 55.7%% of our outstanding voting securities; accordingly, no
additional votes are required or necessary to adopt the amendment to our
Articles of Incorporation or the potential name change, and none are being
solicited hereunder. See the captions "Voting Securities and Principal
Holders Thereof" and "Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation and Vote
Required for Approval," herein.
On November 6, 2002, we signed a Letter of Intent with Christopher's
Original Formulas, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Christopher's"), regarding a
proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement"), pursuant to
which we may acquire Christopher's for 8,760,000 post-split shares, following
a 175 for 1 reverse split of our outstanding securities. There is no
assurance that this reorganization will be completed, and the respective
parties are in the "due diligence" process of investigating each other. If
completed, Proposal 2 will allow the Board of Directors to change our name to
a name that is suitable for the business operations of Christopher's to which
we will succeed. You can reference the Letter of Intent in the Edgar Archives
of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov in our 8-K Current
Report dated November 6, 2002, or if you request us to send you a copy of this
Report, we will promptly provide it to you at no cost.

associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person
has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or
otherwise, in the proposed amendment to effect the reverse split which is not
shared by all other stockholders, pro rata.
