Special Shareholders’ Meeting
Why a Special Shareholders’
Meeting?


21
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
We have had great recovery from the recession
We are positioned to continue to grow the company
Growth will add to the value of the company
For continued growth we will need, at some point,
additional capital –
probably through the issuance of
common shares
While we have no current plans to issue additional
common shares, before we consider the issuance of
additional shares, we need to address cumulative
voting and preemptive rights


22
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
Cumulative voting and preemptive rights are relics of
the 19
th
Century, when they were created.
They were more appropriate for smaller privately
held companies or companies with concentrated
ownership (as we were in 1987).
These are uncommon provisions for a company like us
today.
The Board of Directors and Management strongly
believe that cumulative voting and preemptive rights
should be eliminated in order to have a successful
equity offering.


23
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
What is Cumulative Voting?
If you own 1,000 shares of common stock and
there are 8 director nominees on the ballot, you
may cast 8,000 votes for one director, 4,000 for
two directors, or 1,000 for each of the eight.


24
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
The Impact of Cumulative Voting
If we were to issue 4,000,000 new common shares
existing shareholders purchase about 25%, or
1,000,000 shares, and the balance is sold to
institutional investors.
Would you want a block of 3,000,000 new shares
to new owners enjoying cumulative voting?


25
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
What are Preemptive Rights?
If we issue common stock, you have the right to
purchase a proportional amount relative to your
current ownership.
This is done through a process called a rights
offering.


26
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
The Challenge of Preemptive Rights
Existing shareholders seldom purchase their
proportional amount of shares. Therefore a
company must have a backup purchaser –
typically an institutional investor.
For the backup institutional investor to make a
commitment and wait (sometimes 60 days or
more) for the completion of a rights offering –
they will want a discount on the pricing. This
affects you!


27
Special Shareholders’ Meeting
Preemptive Rights Proposal
The Board and Management want existing
shareholders to purchase as much of a common
stock offering as they would desire.
But –
we would like to do this in one step instead
of two.
By issuing in one step, the argument for
discounted shares is diminished.
