ITEM 1. CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
Merilus, Inc. (fka Golden Soil, Inc., the "Company"), entered into a Agreement
and Plan of Reorganization dated October 19, 2000 (the "Agreement") with 613636
British Columbia, Inc. ("GS Sub"), Merilus Technologies Inc. ("Merilus Canada"),
and the stockholders of Merilus Technologies, Inc. (the "Merilus Canada
Stockholders"), pursuant to which the Merilus Canada Stockholders received a
newly created class of shares of Merilus Canada referred to as "Exchangeable
Shares" in exchange for all their shares of common stock of Merilus Canada.
Concurrently, Merilus Canada issued 10,000 shares of its common stock to GS Sub
which makes Merilus Canada an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
This transaction closed on December 29, 2000. The Agreement and related document
are contained in the Company's Definitive Information Statement on Form 14C
dated November 30, 2000 (the "Information Statement") and is hereby incorporated
by reference.
Each Exchangeable Share is exchangeable into one share of common stock of the
Company pursuant to the terms set forth in the relevant transaction documents.
Merilus Canada Stockholders as a result of the Agreement will hold approximately
30.21 % of the Company's total issued and outstanding share capital (as of the
date of this report) on conversion of the Exchangeable Shares. The Exchangeable
Shares have certain registration rights set forth in the Registration Rights
Agreement and are subject to a one year voluntary Escrow Agreement.
The shareholders of the Company previously approved the Agreement and related
transactions by means of a Consent of Shareholders, as reported in the
Information Statement. Reference is made to the Information Statement for a
description of the business of Merilus Canada, which is now the business of the
Company after the closing of the Agreement, and the new Board of Directors and
management of the Company.
Except as contemplated by the Agreement and discussed in the Information
Statement, the Merilus Canada Stockholders had no material relationship with the
