INFORMATION STATEMENT
JUNE _, 2004
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Information Statement has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and is being furnished, pursuant to Section 14C of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to the holders
(the "Stockholders") of the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of Aladdin Systems Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), to advise you of an action which has already been approved by a
majority in interest of the stockholders of the Company (the "Action"), namely,
an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amendment")
which changes the name of the Corporation to "Monterey Bay Tech, Inc."
The Company's Board of Directors, on May 25, 2004, approved the
Amendment and recommended that the Amendment be approved by written consent of a
majority in interest of our stockholders.
In order to accelerate the filing of the Amendment and to reduce the
costs of obtaining stockholder approval, our Board of Directors elected to
obtain such approval by utilizing the written consent of the holders of a
majority in interest of our Common Stock (the "Consent"). The elimination of the
need for a special meeting of stockholders to approve the Amendment is made
possible by Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (referred to herein as the
"Nevada Corporation Act" or the "NCA") which provides that the written consent
of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less
than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take
such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted, may be substituted for such a special meeting.
On or about May 26, 2004, Stockholders, who own in the aggregate
6,629,375 shares of our Common Stock, representing approximately 61% of our
10,855,272 outstanding shares (the "Majority Stockholders"), give their written
consent to the adoption of the Action. The proposed Amendment will become
effective when filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
CHANGE IN CORPORATE NAME
The Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation will change
the name of the Corporation to "Monterey Bay Tech, Inc." The form of Amendment
to the Articles of Incorporation that will be filed with the Nevada Secretary of
State is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The Board of Directors believes that it is prudent to change the name
of the Company to better reflect the Company's business activities following the
sale of the Company of its Aladdin Systems, Inc. and Aladdin Enterprise
Solutions, Inc. subsidiaries.
RECORD DATE
The close of business June ___, 2004, has been fixed as the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive this Information
Statement.
