AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
The Board of Directors unanimously adopted and the Consent of
Stockholders have approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation to change the name to ValCom, Inc (the "Name
Amendment"). This name change will be implemented by amending the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of
State. The text of the Name Amendment is attached as Appendix A and
is incorporated herein by reference. In the judgment of the Board of
Directors, the change of the Company's corporate name is desirable in view
of the significant change in the character and strategic focus of the
company.
The Name Amendment will become effective upon the filing of a certificate
of amendment relating thereto with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
Under federal securities laws, the Company cannot file the certificate of
amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this Information
Statement.
AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO CHANGE THE PAR VALUE OF PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors unanimously adopted and the Consent of
Stockholders have approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation to change the part value of its preferred stock (the "Par
Value Amendment"). The Company's current capital structure provides
that for the authorization of 10,000,000 million shares of Preferred Stock
at a par value of $5.00. Delaware Law computes the annual franchise tax
based either upon the authorized share method or the assumed par value
capital method, but in no event greater than $150,000. In order to reduce
and minimize the annual franchise tax, the Board of Directors unanimously
adopted and the Consent of Stockholders have approved an amendment to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to change the Preferred Stock
par value from $5.00 per share to $.001.
On or about January 31, 1998, the Shareholders approved a plan
to change the Company's corporate domicile to the State of Nevada in order
to reduce the annual franchise tax. This proposal, if adopted, would reduce
the annual franchise tax and the Company would not incur the additional
cost of changing its domicile to Nevada. The text of the Par Value
Amendment is attached as Appendix B and is incorporated herein by
reference.
The Par Value Amendment will become effective upon the filing
of a certificate of amendment relating thereto with the Secretary of State
of Delaware. Under federal securities laws, the Company cannot file the
certificate of amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this
Information Statement
AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
The Board has unanimously adopted and the Consenting Stockholders
have approved the amendment to the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized Common Stock from
40,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares (the "Authorized Shares Amendment").
Recently, the Company reached an agreement in principal to acquire
Valencia Entertainment International, LLC ("Valencia"). Valencia is a
vertically integrated entertainment conglomerate that includes television
production, for both network and syndicate, motion pictures, sports,
internet and real estate holdings. The terms of the merger acquisition will
make Valencia a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the
principals of Valencia will receive shares of the Company's common stock
based upon an agreed upon fair market valuation of the net assets of
Valencia. According to the audited financial statements for Valencia for
the year ended December 31, 1999, Valencia recorded $8,749,487 in net
assets, which represents approximately 83% of the total net assets of the
two companies combined. A copy of Valencia's audited financial statement
is attached as Appendix C, and is hereby incorporated by reference. In
order to consummate the merger, the Company will be required to issue
75,709,965 shares of its common stock to the principals of Valencia. The
shares of common stock do not have any preemption rights. The text of the
Authorized Share Amendment is attached as Appendix B and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Currently, the Company has 40,000,000 shares authorized of
which 12,324,878 shares are issued and outstanding. As a result, the
Company would not be able to consummate the merger without first
increasing its total authorized shares of common stock. Shareholder
approval is not required for the merger itself under Delaware law.
Once the Company files the Authorized Share Amendment with
the Secretary of State of Delaware, the Company will have 87,1675,122
shares of unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance. The
Company will immediately issue 75,709,965 shares to the principals of
Valencia and will cause the merger to be consummated. If the Authorized
Shares Amendment was not approved by the majority shareholder, the
Company could not have issued the required number of Shares to the
principals of Valencia and the Company would be required to terminate the
merger.
The remaining unissued shares will be available for issuance from
time to time as may be required for various purposes, including the
issuance of shares in connection with financing or acquisition transactions
and the issuance or reservation of Common Stock for employee stock
options. The Board would be able to authorize the issuance of shares for
these transactions without the necessity, and related costs and delays, of
either calling a special shareholders' meeting or of waiting for the regularly
scheduled annual meeting of shareholders in order to increase the
authorized capital. If in a particular instance shareholder approval were
required by law or any stock exchanges or markets or otherwise deemed
advisable by the Board, then the matter would be referred to the
Shareholders for their approval regardless of whether a sufficient number
of shares previously had been authorized
The issuance of the Shares to consummate the merger will cause
a dilution to the existing Shareholders. The 12,324,878 shares currently
issued and outstanding will represent approximately fourteen percent
(14%) of the outstanding shares after the consummation of the merger.
The proposed change in capital is not intended to have any anti-takeover
effect and is not part of any series of anti-takeover measures contained in
any debt instruments or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of
the Company in effect on the date of this Information Statement. However,
Shareholders should note that the availability of additional authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock could make any attempt to gain control
of the Company or the Board more difficult or time consuming and that the
availability of additional authorized and unissued shares might make it
more difficult to remove management. Although the Board currently has
no intention of doing so, shares of Common Stock could be issued by the
Board to dilute the percentage of Common Stock owned by a significant
shareholder and increase the cost of, or the number of, voting shares
necessary to acquire control of the Board or to meet the voting
requirements imposed by Delaware law with respect to a merger or other
business combination involving the Company. The Company is not aware
of any proposed attempt to take over the Company or of any attempt to
acquire a large block of the Company's Common Stock. The Company has
no present intention to use the increased authorized Common Stock for
anti-takeover purposes.
The Authorized Share Amendment will become effective upon the
filing of a certificate of amendment relating thereto with the Secretary of
State of Delaware. Under federal securities laws, the Company cannot file
the certificate of amendment until at least 20 days after the mailing of this
Information Statement
2001 Annual Meeting
No definitive date for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in
2001 has been established. Qualifying Shareholders may submit proposals
that are consistent with the Company's Bylaws and federal securities laws
to the Company for inclusion in the Company's proxy material relating to
the 2001 Annual Meeting. The Company must receive such proposals at
its business address (set forth at the beginning of this Proxy Statement) no
later than January 31, 2001.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
requires any person who owns more than ten percent of any class of any
equity security which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange
Act, or who is a director or an officer of the issuer of such security, to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Directors, officers, and greater than
ten-percent shareholders are also required by SEC regulation to furnish the
issuer of such securities with copies of all Section 16(a) reports filed.
Specific due dates for these reports have been established and the Company
is required to report in this Information Statement any failure to file by
these dates during 1999.
The Company believes that its officers, Directors, and stockholders owning
greater than 10% of the Common Stock of the Company have not complied
with the applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the fiscal year
ending 1999 as it relates to the filing of Form 5.
Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1999 was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 5, 2000 which is hereby incorporated by reference.
A copy of SBI's Form 10-KSB will be furnished without charge to
Shareholders as of the record date upon written request to Ronald Foster,
Chairman, SBI Communications, Inc. 1239 South Glendale Avenue,
Glendale, California 91205.
