PROXY STATEMENT

 

RETROSPETTIVA, INC.

 

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 22, 2008

 

INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND PROXY SOLICITATION

 

General Information

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Retrospettiva, Inc., a California corporation (sometimes referred to as the “Company” or “Retrospettiva”), is providing this Proxy Statement in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders, which will take place on September 22, 2008 and at any postponement or adjournment thereof (the “Special Meeting”). Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting in person, please return your executed proxy card in the enclosed postage prepaid and addressed envelope and your shares will be voted in accordance with your wishes.

 

What is the Purpose of the Special Meeting?

 

At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on the matters described in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting, including considering and acting upon a proposal to amend Retrospettiva’s Articles of Incorporation to increase our number of authorized shares of no par value common stock from 15,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares.

 

Are there other Matters to be Voted on at the Special Meeting?

 

The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters that may come before the Special Meeting. California law and Retrospettiva’s Bylaws impose limitations on the ability to present business items at a special meeting if those items were not included in the notice of special meeting. Accordingly, except for procedural matters incidental to the conduct of the meeting, it is not expected that any other matters will come before the Special Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented at the Special Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote, or otherwise act, in accordance with their judgment.

 

Who Can Vote at the Special Meeting?

 

In order to vote, you must have been a shareholder of record at the close of business on August 21, 2008 (which is referred to as the “record date”). If your shares are owned of record in the name of a broker or other nominee, you should follow the voting instructions provided by your nominee.

 

On the record date, there were 14,425,903 shares of Retrospettiva’s common stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted upon.

 


 

How do I Vote?

 

You may vote by signing your proxy card, or if your shares are held in street name, the voting instruction card included by your broker or nominee, and mailing it in the enclosed, postage prepaid and addressed envelope.

 

Any shareholder who has executed and returned a proxy and who for any reason desires to revoke such proxy may do so at any time before the proxy is exercised: (1) by delivering written notice prior to the Special Meeting to the Secretary of the Company at the above address; (2) by voting the shares represented by such proxy in person at the Special Meeting; or (3) by giving a later dated proxy at any time before the voting at the Special Meeting. Attendance at the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

 

Voting in Person

 

Even if you currently plan to attend the Special Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Special Meeting. Shares held in street name may be voted in person by you at the Special Meeting only if you obtain a signed proxy from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares.

 

What Constitutes a Quorum?

 

In order for business to be conducted at the Special Meeting, a quorum must be present. A quorum consists of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote. Shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy (including shares that abstain or do not vote with respect to the matter to be voted upon) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. If a quorum is not present, the Special Meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

 

What Vote is Required to Approve the Amendment to Our Articles of Incorporation to Increase the Authorized Shares of Common Stock.

 

If a quorum exists, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of common stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the shares of our authorized common stock

 

How Will Votes be Counted?

 

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN,” such abstention shall be treated as shares that are present but that have not been voted and accordingly, will be treated as a “no” vote in determining whether a proposal is approved. If you sign your proxy card or broker voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board (“FOR” the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock and in the discretion of the Proxy holders on any other matters that properly come before the Special Meeting).

 

2


 

In accordance with California law, if a shareholder abstains from voting on an action, that shareholder’s shares will still be counted for determining whether the requisite number of shareholders attended the Special Meeting. If a broker does not vote on any particular action because it does not have the authority to do so (a “broker non-vote”), but does vote on other actions, the shares will still be counted for determining whether the requisite number of shareholders attended the meeting. Broker non-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to be voted with respect to the matter on which the broker has expressly not voted. Thus, broker non-votes will be treated as a “no” vote on any matters being voted on at the Special Meeting.

 

AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF

COMMON STOCK TO 100,000,000 SHARES

 

General Information

 

Our Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution approving and recommending to our stockholders, for their approval, a proposal to amend Retrospettiva’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of no par common stock from 15,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares.

 

Reasons for the Proposed Amendment

 

The increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock may assist us in future financing and will provide sufficient authorized shares of common stock to permit conversion of our shares of preferred stock to common stock.

 

Vote Required

 

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast will be required for approval of the amendment.

 

Recommendation

 

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT TO RETROSPETTIVA’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF NO PAR COMMON STOCK FROM 15,000,000 TO 100,000,000 SHARES.
