RESOLUTION TO AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO
CHANGE OUR CORPORATE NAME TO M POWER ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
The Board of Directors has adopted and the stockholders have approved by
written consent an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to change our corporate name from GK Intelligent Systems, Inc.
to M Power Entertainment, Inc. in order to better reflect our planned future
operations. We believe the name M Power Entertainment, Inc. better
communicates our business plan to become a next-generation media and
entertainment corporation providing a diversified portfolio of
state-of-the-art entertainment and media resources.
In connection with this name change, a new trading symbol will be assigned to
our common stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.
IMPACT OF PROPOSAL TO SHAREHOLDERS
There will be no material change to shareholders. The currently outstanding
stock certificates evidencing shares of our common stock bearing the name "GK
Intelligent Systems, Inc." will continue to be valid and represent shares of
our common stock following the name change. You will not have to exchange
your existing stock certificates for stock certificates reflecting our new
corporate name. However, any stockholder desiring a new form of stock
certificate may submit the existing stock certificate to our transfer agent
for cancellation, and obtain a new form of certificate. The transfer agent
may impose a reasonable fee for a voluntary exchange of certificates.
Stockholders should not destroy any stock certificate.
RESOLUTION TO AMEND OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE
OF INCORPORATION TO AUTHORIZE US TO EFFECT A REVERSE
STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE RANGE OF
200:1 TO 30:1, AS DETERMINED IN THE SOLE DISCRETION
OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OVERVIEW
The Board of Directors has adopted and the stockholders have approved by
written consent an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding Common Stock
in the range of 200:1 to 30:1, as determined in the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors ("Reverse Split"). Our Board has the discretion to elect,
as it determines to be in the best interests of the company and the
Stockholders, to effect the Reverse Split at any exchange ratio within the
range at any time before our 2005 annual stockholder meeting. The Board may
elect not to implement the approved Reverse Split in its sole discretion.
THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH THE BOARD WOULD EFFECT THE REVERSE SPLIT
The Board believes that stockholder approval of a range of potential exchange
ratios (rather than a single exchange ratio) provides the Board with the
flexibility to achieve the desired results of the reverse stock split. The
Board would effect a reverse stock split only upon the Board's determination
that a reverse stock split would be in the best interests of the stockholders
at that time.
To effect the Reverse Split, we would file an amendment to the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware.
If the Board elects to implement the Reverse Split, the number of issued and
outstanding shares of our Common Stock would be reduced in accordance with the
selected exchange ratio for the Reverse Split. The par value and number of
authorized shares of the Common Stock would remain unchanged. The Reverse
Split would become effective upon filing the amendment to the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. No
further action on the part of Stockholders would be required to either effect
or abandon the Reverse Split. If the Board does not implement the reverse
stock split prior to our 2005 annual stockholder meeting, the authority
granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate.
The Board reserves its right to elect not to proceed and abandon the reverse
stock split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no
longer in the best interests of our stockholders.
POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED REVERSE SPLIT
The immediate effect of the Reverse Split would be to reduce the number of
shares of the outstanding Common Stock and to increase the trading price of
such Common Stock. However, the effect of any effected Reverse Split upon the
market price of the Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of
reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances sometimes improves
stock performance, but in many cases does not. There can be no assurance that
the trading price of the Common Stock after the Reverse Split will rise in
proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock
outstanding as a result of the Reverse Split or remain at an increased level
for any period. The trading price of the Common Stock may change due to a
variety of other factors, including our operating results, other factors
related to our business and general market conditions.
EFFECTS ON OWNERSHIP BY INDIVIDUAL STOCKHOLDERS
If we implement the Reverse Split, the number of shares of our Common Stock
held by each Stockholder would be reduced by multiplying the number of shares
held immediately before the Reverse Split by the selected exchange ratio, and
then rounding up to the nearest whole share. We would not pay cash to each
Stockholder in respect of any fractional interest in a share resulting from
the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Split would not affect any Stockholder's
percentage ownership interests in the Company or proportionate voting power,
except to the extent that interests in fractional shares would be rounded up
to the nearest whole share.
EFFECT ON OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND OTHER SECURITIES
In addition, all outstanding options, warrants and other securities entitling
their holders to purchase shares of our Common Stock would be adjusted as a
result of the Reverse Split, as required by the terms of these securities. In
particular, proportionate adjustments will be made to the exercise price per
share and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding
options, entitling the holders to purchase shares of our common stock, which
will result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be
paid for such options upon exercise immediately preceding the reverse stock
split. Also, the number of shares reserved for issuance under any existing
employee stock option plans would be reduced proportionally based on the
selected exchange ratio of the Reverse Split.
OTHER EFFECTS ON OUTSTANDING SHARES
If the Reverse Split is implemented, the rights and preferences of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock would remain the same after the Reverse
Split. Each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Split would
be fully paid and nonassessable.
The Reverse Split would result in some Stockholders owning "odd-lots" of less
than 100 shares of the Common Stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of
transactions in odd-lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions
in "round-lots" of even multiples of 100 shares.
AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The Reverse Split, if implemented, would not change the number of authorized
shares of the Common Stock as designated by the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation. Therefore, because the number of issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease, the number of shares
remaining available for issuance under our authorized pool of Common Stock
would increase.
The additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance
if the Reverse Split is approved could be used by our management to oppose a
hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control or changes in
or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a
majority of the Stockholders or in which the Stockholders might otherwise
receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit
in some other manner. Although the proposed Reverse Stock Split has been
prompted by business and financial considerations, stockholders nevertheless
should be aware that approval of the proposal could facilitate future efforts
by our management to deter or prevent a change in control of the Company. The
Board has no plans to use any of the additional shares of Common Stock that
would become available following the approval of the Reverse Split, if any,
for any such purposes.
STOCK CERTIFICATES
As of the effective date of the Reverse Split, each certificate representing
shares of our Common Stock before the Reverse Stock Split would be deemed, for
all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares
of our Common Stock resulting from the Reverse Split. All shares, underlying
options and warrants and other securities would also be automatically adjusted
on the effective date.
If you hold your shares of commons stock in a brokerage account or in "street
name," you will not be required to take any further action. If you hold stock
certificates, you will not have to exchange your existing stock certificates
for new stock certificates reflecting the reverse split. However, any
stockholder desiring a new form of stock certificate may submit the existing
stock certificate to our transfer agent for cancellation, and obtain a new
form of certificate. The transfer agent may impose a reasonable fee for a
voluntary exchange of certificates. Stockholders should not destroy any stock
certificate.
FRACTIONAL SHARES
We will not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Split. In
order to avoid the expense and inconvenience of issuing and transferring
fractional shares of common stock to Stockholders who would otherwise be
entitled to receive fractional shares of Common Stock following the Reverse
Split, any fractional shares which result from the Reverse Split will be
rounded up to the next whole share.
NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, Stockholders are not entitled to
appraisal rights with respect to the proposed amendment to the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split, and we will
not independently provide stockholders with any such right.
