NOTICE
TO STOCKHOLDERS OF ACTION APPROVED BY CONSENTING STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD
MEMBERS
The
following action was taken based upon the unanimous recommendation of a majority
of Camelot stockholders and the Camelot's Board of Directors (the
"Board"):
ACTION
I
AMENDMENT
TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
INCREASE
IN AUTHORIZED STOCK
MATERIAL
TERMS OF THE AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
The Board
and the majority of stockholders have unanimously adopted and approved the
resolutions, attached as Exhibit A hereto, to amend the articles of
incorporation to affect an increase in the authorized shares of
Camelot. The Board believes that the increase in authorized shares is
in Camelot's best interests, principally because it will enable Camelot to issue
additional shares in connection with necessary financings and/or other business
transactions related to its ongoing efforts to implement its business
plan.
The
immediate effect of the increase in authorized shares will be to increase the
total number of shares of authorized from 850,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 shares
including both common and preferred. The amendment authorized an increase in
Camelot Common Stock from 800,000,000 shares to 3,000,000,000 shares. The total
number of shares of authorized Camelot Preferred Stock will remain the same,
with 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized.
The
increase in authorized shares will affect all of the holders of Camelot's Common
and Preferred Stock uniformly and will affect a stockholder's percentage
ownership interest in Camelot and their respective proportionate voting power,
including subsequent dilution that will result from the issuance of additional
shares.
The
amendment to the articles of incorporation will become effective no later
than January
9, 2009 (the "Effective Date"). The amendment will have taken
place by the Effective Date without any further action on the part of the
holders of Camelot's Common or Preferred Stock.
The Board
resolution granting the authority to amend the articles of incorporation and
affect an increase in the authorized shares of the Common Stock of Camelot is
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
CERTAIN
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
There are
no known material federal income tax consequences of the amendment to the
articles of incorporation and the following does not purport to be a complete
discussion of all of the possible federal income tax consequences and is
included for general information only. Further, it does not address any state,
local, foreign or other income tax consequences, nor does it address the tax
consequences to stockholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as
banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding
companies, foreign entities, non-resident alien individuals, broker-dealers and
tax-exempt entities. This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code"), Treasury regulations and proposed regulations, court
decisions and current administrative rulings and pronouncements of the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS"), all of which are subject to change, possibly with
retroactive effect, and assumes that the shares of Common Stock will be held as
a "capital asset" (generally, property held for investment) as defined in the
Code.
Holders
of Common and Preferred Stock are advised to consult their own tax advisers
regarding the federal income tax consequences of the amendment to the articles
of incorporation in light of their personal circumstances and the consequences
under state, local and foreign tax laws. No gain or loss will be
recognized by Camelot in connection with the amendment to the articles of
incorporation. No gain or loss will be recognized by a stockholder in connection
with the amendment to the articles of incorporation. The aggregate basis of the
shares of the Common or Preferred Stock will be the same after the amendment to
the articles of incorporation as the aggregate basis of the shares of Common or
Preferred Stock prior to the amendment to the articles of
incorporation.
Camelot's
views regarding the tax consequences of the amendment to the articles of
incorporation are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts,
and there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts would
accept the positions expressed above. The state and local tax consequences of
the amendment to the articles of incorporation may vary significantly as to each
stockholder, depending on the state in which such stockholder
resides.
THE
FOREGOING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ACCORDINGLY, EACH
HOLDER OF CAMELOT COMMON OR PREFERRED STOCK IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH HIS OWN TAX
ADVISER WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF THE LAWS OF ANY STATE,
MUNICIPAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

Additional
information for our stockholders:
Why
have I received these materials?
Camelot
is required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to
deliver this information statement to all stockholders of Camelot in order to
inform them that the majority of stockholders and the Board of Directors have
taken certain actions that affect the Company. As a result, this
information statement is being sent to you because you are a holder of Common or
Preferred stock in Camelot.
What
action did the Majority of Stockholders and the Board of Directors
take?
The
majority of the stockholders and the Board has unanimously adopted and has
approved resolutions, attached as Exhibit A hereto, to effect the amendment to
the articles of incorporation. The Board believes that the amendment
to the articles of incorporation is in Camelot's best interests, principally
because it will enable Camelot to issue additional shares in connection with
necessary financings and/or other business transactions related to its ongoing
efforts to implement its business plan.
Why
is it that the Majority of Stockholders and the Board of Directors can do these
things without having to hold a meeting or having to send out proxies to all
stockholders?
The
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of Camelot and Delaware law provide that
any corporate action may be taken by the majority of stockholders through a
written consent and the Board of Directors without a meeting or vote of
stockholders as long as a majority of the stockholders and the Board of
Directors approve and authorize the action during a regular or special meeting
or with the written consent of the majority of stockholders and the Board of
Directors.
Is it necessary for me to do
anything?
No. No
other votes are necessary or required. The actions
taken
as a
result of the majority
of the
stockholders action and the
Board of
Director’s
authorization which will
become
effective with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware no later
than January 9, 2009.
Who
is paying for the mailing of this information statement?
Camelot
will pay the costs of preparing and sending out this information statement. It
will be sent to all common and preferred stockholders by regular mail. Camelot
may reimburse brokerage firms and others for expenses in forwarding information
statement materials to the beneficial owners of Common and Preferred
Stock.
Can
I object to the actions taken by the Board of Directors?
Delaware
law does not provide for dissenter's rights in connection with the majority of
stockholders or the Board of Director’s authorization to institute an amendment
to the articles of incorporation.
Where
can I get copies of this information statement or copies of Camelot’s annual
report?
Copies of
this information statement and Camelot’s most recent annual report
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Form 10-KSB and most
recent interim report filed with the SEC on Form 10-Q are available to
stockholders at no charge upon request directed as follows:

How
do I know that the majority of stockholders and Board of Director members voting
to amend the articles of incorporation and increase the authorized shares had
more than a majority of the stockholder and Board of Director
votes?
On
December
19,
2008,
the date of the written consent to action by the majority of stockholders and
the Board of Directors, a majority of the voting shares according to the
official stockholder records of Camelot, and both of our current Board of
Director members approved the action. These stockholders and Board of Director
members, representing more than a majority of our stockholders and Camelot’s
Board of Directors, have executed and delivered written consents to the actions
set forth herein.
Who
are the Board of Director members who voted to amend the articles of
incorporation?
Robert P.
Atwell, Chairman, CEO
George
Jackson, Secretary, CFO
Who
was entitled to vote to amend the articles of incorporation?
The
stockholders of Camelot and the members of the Board of Directors. The action
was taken by written consent having been approved by a majority of the
stockholders, and by a majority of the Board of Directors.
Who
is entitled to receive notice of these actions by the Board of
Directors?
Every
person or entity who owned common stock in Camelot as of December 12, 2008 is
entitled to receive a copy of this information statement. This date is called
the Record Date and was set by the Board of Directors of Camelot.
What
consent was required in order to implement an amendment to the articles of
incorporation?
The
action discussed herein to amend the articles of incorporation requires the
consent of holders of the majority of Camelot stock and the Board of Directors.
A majority means one vote more than 50% of the number of stockholders and board
members eligible to vote. Since the holders of 94% of the possible votes, which
represents a majority of stockholders, and the Board of Director member’s who
acted by written consent to authorize the amendment of the articles of
incorporation held a majority of the vote, they could do this without a meeting
by consent and then inform you of this action.
What actions were taken by the Board
of
Directors?
There was
one action taken. It was as follows:
The
corporation shall be authorized to issue
Three
Billion (3,000,000,000)
shares of Stock, as follows: Two
Billion Nine Hundred Fifty Million
(2,950,000,000)
shares of Common Stock having a $.001 par value, and Fifty Million (50,000,000)
shares of Preferred Stock having a $.001 par value. The Common
Stock and/or Preferred Stock of the Company may be issued from time to time
without prior approval by the stockholders. The Common stock and/or Preferred
Stock may be issued for such consideration as may be fixed from time to time by
the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may issue such shares of Common
and/or Preferred Stock in one or more series, with such voting powers,
designations, preferences and rights or qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof as shall be stated in the resolution authorizing the
issuance of shares. Stockholders shall not have pre-emptive rights or be
entitled to cumulative voting in connection with the shares of the Corporation's
common or preferred stock.
Why
is Camelot implementing the amendment to the articles of
incorporation?
Currently,
Camelot has 604,252,942 shares of Common Stock issued and/or outstanding and
21,695,521 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Camelot
is amending the articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares
because it believes that the increase in Common Stock authorized will provide it
greater flexibility with respect to its capital structure for such purposes as
additional equity financing, stock based acquisitions and issuance of stock in
accordance with our business model as described in our annual report and
subsequent quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
between April 15, 2008 and December 15, 2008. In addition, Camelot needs
additional shares authorized in order to be able to meet current contractual and
regulatory obligations.
What
effect will the amendment to the articles of incorporation have on my
stock?
The terms
of the shares of any new Common and Preferred Stock will be identical to those
of the currently outstanding shares of Common and Preferred Stock. However,
because holders of Common and Preferred Stock have no preemptive rights to
purchase or subscribe for any unissued stock of Camelot, the issuance of
additional shares of Common and Preferred Stock following the amendment to the
articles of incorporation will reduce the current stockholders' percentage
ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common and Preferred
Stock. The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common and Preferred
Stock will remain unchanged under this action. The tax basis for your Common or
Preferred Stock will remain the same upon the effectiveness of the amendment to
the articles of incorporation.
As of the
Record Date, a total of 604,252,942 shares of Camelot's currently authorized
800,000,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and/or outstanding. A total of
21,695,521 shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. The
availability of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would enable
Camelot, without further stockholder approval, to issue shares from time to time
as may be required for proper business purposes, such as raising additional
capital for ongoing operations, business and asset acquisitions, stock splits
and dividends, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate
purposes.
The
increase in the number of shares of Common and Preferred Stock authorized,
issued and/or outstanding could have a number of effects on Camelot's
stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual
issuances of authorized but unissued shares. The effect of the amendment to the
articles of incorporation could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional
shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or
more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of Camelot
more difficult. For example, additional shares could be issued by Camelot so as
to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain
control of Camelot. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain
persons allied with Camelot's management could have the effect of making it more
difficult to remove Camelot's current management by diluting the stock ownership
or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Board of
Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire
control of Camelot, and this action is not being taken with the intent that it
be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device.
Stockholders
do not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any
additional shares of Common or Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future,
and therefore, future issuances of Common or Preferred Stock may, depending on
the circumstances, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting
power and other interests of the existing stockholders.
As of the
Record Date, a total of 21,695,521 shares of Camelot's currently authorized
50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. The actions
taken by the Board of Directors hereunder will have no effect on the number of
authorized shares of "blank
check" preferred stock available to be issued by Camelot in the
future.
The term
"blank check" refers to
preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by
the stockholders and the terms, rights and features of which are determined by
the Board of Directors of Camelot upon issuance. The authorization of such blank
check preferred stock permits the Board of Directors to authorize and issue
preferred stock from time to time in one or more series. To date, Camelot has
created and issued three series of preferred stock, Series A, Series B and
Series C. There are 7,347,511 Series A outstanding, 7,196,510 Series
B outstanding and 7,151,500 Series C outstanding.
Subject
to the provisions of Camelot's Articles of Incorporation and the limitations
prescribed by law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized, at its
discretion, to adopt resolutions to issue shares, to fix the number of shares
and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or
change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions
thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are
cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund
provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of
the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without
any further action or vote by the stockholders. The Board of Directors is
required to make any determination to issue shares of preferred stock based on
its judgment as to the best interests of Camelot and its stockholders. The
amendment to the articles of incorporation authorized by the Board of Directors
gives the Board of Directors flexibility, without further stockholder action, to
issue preferred stock on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors
deems to be in the best interests of Camelot and its stockholders.
The
action taken by the Board of Directors will provide Camelot with increased
financial flexibility in meeting future capital requirements by making available
additional shares of Common Stock, while the number of Preferred Shares
authorized remains the same. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, will
allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with
such features as determined by the Board of Directors for any proper corporate
purpose. It is anticipated that such purposes may include exchanging preferred
stock for common stock and, without limitation, may include the issuance for
cash as a means of obtaining capital for use by Camelot, or issuance as part or
all of the consideration required to be paid by Camelot for officers and
directors, employees, consideration to be paid in connection with our business
model, vendors, acquisitions of other businesses or assets.
Any
issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain
circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of
Camelot by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by
increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control of
Camelot. Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or
rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or
discourage an attempt to obtain control of Camelot by means of a tender offer,
proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The ability of the Board of Directors to
issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences
it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of
Camelot by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive
stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the
realization of a premium over the market price that such an attempt could
cause.
Moreover,
the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to
the Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers
and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to
stockholders generally.
