Item 1.01   Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
As more fully described in Item 2.01 below, on March 13, 2008, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement and Share Exchange (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Componus, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Componus”) whose principal office is located at 16630 Southfield Road, Allen Park, Michigan 48101. The Exchange Agreement provides for the acquisition

 


 

of Componus whereby Componus shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with acquisition of Componus, the Company shall issue 89,000,000 total shares of common stock, which will represent and equate to approximately 87.25% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company after the transaction is closed (the “Closing”). These shares will be issued in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Componus. The Exchange Agreement contemplates that, in connection with the Closing, each of the current officers and directors of the Company shall resign. These actions will result in a change of control of the Company.
The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Componus, including, among others, a covenant by the Company to maintain and keep its property in good condition, to perform under its agreements and to not enter into material agreements, issue shares, declare dividends, transfer assets or take other material actions without the consent of Componus. The Closing was conditioned upon, among other items, the approval of the proposals set forth in this information statement. Stockholders controlling approximately 85.8% of the issued and outstanding shares have voted to approve the proposals as set forth in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 2008.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Exchange Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Exchange Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Exchange Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are cautioned not to rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof in the Exchange Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company.
The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement were consummated on September 8, 2008. Our former line of business, investment banking and fundraising for small cap publicly traded companies, has ceased and the Company has withdrawn its registration as a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We believe that Componus’s line of business serving the automotive, trucking, railway and petroleum industries with raw, finished and assembled components (please see Business set forth in Item 2.01) will provide greater shareholder value and long-term growth potential.
This transaction is discussed more fully in Section 2.01 of this Current Report. This brief discussion is qualified by reference to the provisions of the Exchange Agreement which was attached to the current report on Form 8-K as filed by the Company on March 21, 2008.
Item 2.01   Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
CLOSING OF EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
As described in Item 1.01 above, on September 8, 2008, we acquired Componus, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Componus”), in accordance with the Exchange Agreement. The closing of the transaction took place on August 8, 2008 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of Componus from the shareholders of Componus; and the shareholders of Componus transferred and contributed all of their share interests in Componus to us. In exchange, we issued to the shareholders of Componus 89,000,000 shares, or approximately 87.25% of our common stock. On the Closing Date, Componus became our wholly owned subsidiary.
Business
Componus is a prime contractor of forging & related products from Asia. Componus provides, manufactures, or sells forgings, casting, stamping, semi-finished and finished components through its network of factories via direct sales, sales representation, and through distributors, predominately for the automobile industry.

The Detroit International Auto Salon (“DIAS”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Asia Forging Supply Co., Ltd (“AFS”). DIAS serves the automotive industry as a marketplace in North America (Allen Park, Michigan) where customers and Asian suppliers may meet in one location for all their automotive supply needs, specific to the industry.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Componus (hereinafter “Company”), through its subsidiary, participates in the rapidly growing worldwide outsourcing of metal-formed parts for automotive, heavy equipment, and other market uses.
In the United States and Europe, the cost of steel material and labor are significantly higher than in Asia. For a simple forged or cost component, the cost of the raw material accounts for 40% or more of the total formed cost. Current domestic suppliers of metal formed components are no longer able to meet their customer’s demand to reduce component prices, and provide annual contracted discounts. As labor costs and raw material cost have risen, domestic suppliers must either accept business-killing lower profit margins, or outsource lesser value-added production content to a suitable offshore manufacturer. The greater China region (China, Taiwan, and Korea) represents the largest center of high quality, lower cost manufacturing and production capacity in metal-formed products.
In management’s opinion only the more financially stable, larger companies have shown any success in sourcing production directly from greater China. Industry studies show that companies attempting direct management in outsourcing often fail because of underestimating operational costs and risks, underestimating start-up costs, overestimating indigenous capabilities of the supplier, and quickly disappointing the customer by not fulfilling projected production levels. These failures are derived from:
    The customers’ inability to realistically advance plan managing the outsourcing event;
    Lack of adequately finding and assessing suitable sources;
    Miscommunication and misunderstanding, between different cultures and languages especially in the area of design nuances, acceptable levels of manufacturing tolerances, and technical details; and
    Lack of committing proper and dedicated levels of engineering, manufacturing, and procurement teams to work with their greater China counter-parts.
The Company believes that within its specific niche, it can achieve double-digit growth as more OEMs and their 1st or 2nd tier suppliers outsource procurement of finished/semi-finished components and sub-assemblies to a limited number of qualified and capable Asia-based sources.
OUR BUSINESS
The Company currently operates two lines of business. Asia Forging Supply Company, Ltd (“AFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Componus, is a prime contractor to customers purchasing forgings and related products from AFS’ supplier

 


 

network in Asia via direct sales, sales representation, and through distributors, predominately for the automobile industry. Products sold or offered include:
    Castings (investment, shell, die blanks, semi-finished, finished, ductile iron, gray iron, squeeze)
 
    Fasteners
 
    Hot, cold, warm-forged Forgings (blacks, semi-finished, finished)
 
    Specialty forged or cast finished components (furniture, door handles)
 
    Stampings
 
    Stamping Tooling (side, front, rear body)
 
    Sub-assemblies (CV joints, axles)
 
    Wheels (steel, aluminum, cast, forged)
A significant portion of AFS’ business is providing safety-related component products that require manufacture-engineering and tooling expertise and a higher quality to produce. AFS is represented globally with sales & service locations in over 14 countries on 4 continents. AFS works with all types of customers, from Tier 1 and Tier 2 of OEMs to aftermarket customers and spare parts shops. AFS is a certified vendor of Volvo, Dana, Affinia, Delphi, TRW, Magna and Linamar, among others. AFS is a TS16949 and ISO9001 certified company in the forging industry.
The Detroit International Auto Salon (“DIAS”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of AFS established in 2007 to serve the growing need by customers seeking lower cost alternatives to find and engage suitable suppliers from Asia . DIAS serves the automotive industry as a marketplace in North America (Allen Park, Michigan) where customers and Asian suppliers may meet in one location for all their automotive supply needs, specific to the industry.

COMPETITION
Competitive Analysis:
In today’s competitive automotive components market, incumbents are forced to outsource upstream manufacturing operations, like forging and casting, in order to preserve higher value machining, finishing, and assembly operations. Automotive Tier 1

 


 

companies, like Delphi, Dana, TRW, and Federal Mogul are implementing strategies to source or establish operations in lower cost regions internationally. The Company has cooperated with a number of Chinese suppliers, who represent the most likely long-term, lower cost manufacturing providers; having plentiful manpower, production scale, and access to raw materials, for this type of basic manufacturing.
The Company views the competitive landscape in three ways:
Competition Segment 1. — Highly automated, vertically integrated suppliers
Incumbents in this segment are large suppliers to the OEMs and top tier assembly companies following rigid development and product test cycles. Volume production is in the hundreds of thousands, requiring commitment to projected shipping releases and delivery schedules. Forming, machining, and finishing operations are normally closely physically located to adhere to “just-in-time” production methodology. This competitive segment represents a target of opportunity for the Company where the customers have interim strategies to find lower cost component sources in order to keep their domestic operations profitable and viable while planning new operations in Asia. It is likely that the North American OEMs and top tier customers will close marginal domestic operations, in favor of new plants and operations in the growth markets. Examples of participants in this sector are International Truck (Navistar), and American Axle manufacturing.
Competition Segment 2. — Specialized sub-assembly suppliers
These incumbents normally lag the OEMs and top tier customers, but management expects that they will eventually follow their customer’s strategy to locate operations in Asia, however, their resources with Asian experience and know-how is limited. Many are likely to conclude that their best course of action is to partner, joint venture, or team with existing manufacturers, trading companies, and knowledgeable consultant to successfully gain a foothold. This segment represents potential long-term partner, joint venture, or a M&A opportunity for the Company. Examples of participants in this sector are Dana, Affinia, and Eston/Linamar.
Competition Segment 3. — Specialty finished goods suppliers
These incumbents tend to curtail sourcing domestically, in favor of lower cost factories in China. Price is the overriding criteria, as their survival depends on establishing alternative sources before the China factories become large enough to conduct international export marketing and sales operations. Examples of participants in this sector are custom wheel suppliers and wholesalers. This segment represents significant near-term expansion potential for the Company whose factory network is already poised to conduct export business with a focus towards better product technology and operational quality control.
The Company has differentiated itself by cohesively managing product development qualification, financing, and delivery by Asia-based forging factories at OEM level production capacities.
The Company has experienced supply chain efficiencies, from raw materials to delivery, by:
    Providing raw materials directly to the factory,
 
    Engaging major customers with a direct sales force,
 
    Qualifying factory sources in China, Taiwan, Korea,
 
    Negotiated 60 days charge-free warehousing for inventory prepared and managed for major customers, and
 
    Providing bi-lingual program management, technical services and support.
The Company’s network of factories is dedicated to providing low to high volume forged and cast metal products. Available production capacity is a key factor in a customer’s determination to re-source. Below is an overview of approximate annual capacity of the Company network:

 


 

Componus Factory Network
                 
            Capacity  
Type of Factory   Number     (metric tons)  
Integrated Suppliers
    4       N/A  
Castings
    6       200,000  
Forgings
    36       500,000  
Upsetters
    4       110,000  
Stamping
    1       200,000  
Machining
    5       500,000  
Assemblies
    5       N/A  
Wheels
    4       200,000  
The production capacity flexibility of this network enables the Company to win new development contracts at the beginning of a product life-cycle, and mass production contracts for mid-range to end-of-life product life cycles.
Management believes there are fundamental sourcing characteristics and metrics for sourcing. First, unlike other industries the Company has not found any competitors, who provide consolidated services in the same market segment. From a product point of view however, there will always exist individual Asian factories that make the same or similar parts. Characteristically, these factories possess a small number of product manufacturing skills and typically do not have the capability to become qualified and expand rapidly in new areas.
Second, successful outsourcing by customers demand more of a total solution approach that is integrated with manufacturing engineering expertise, project management and production control, quality assurance & control, shipping, warehousing and delivery services, and financing options. The Company has successfully proven this integration, known as “Mechanical Manufacturing Service”, and it is a cornerstone in the Company’s overall role for this type of supply chain — as an entity of sourcing and program management for the demand side, and a marketing entity for the supply side.
Third, the amount of on-line or Web-based component suppliers, or aggregated (vertical) product portals overwhelms most customers’ abilities to separate the “wheat from the chaff”. Industry standards, safety regulations, liability concerns, and internal sourcing procedures still dictate qualifying new sources of supply through demonstrated product sampling & testing, factory auditing, and account management discipline. Consequently, by operating as a prime contracting platform that provides the necessary on-the-ground multi-lingual and multi-cultural integration, the Company fills the voids and adds value in supply chain management, quality assurance, and logistic management.
The growth in the Company’s sales in the past 8 years is evidence of the Company’s ability to successfully assist its customers in reducing outsourcing cost and the risks of purchasing management.
STRATEGY
The Company’s primary objective is to:
    Expand Core Businesses. Management believes that the Company’s core businesses are the key to the long-term profitable growth of the Company. These core businesses focus on the manufacture and sale of forgings, casting, stamping, semi-finished and finished components. These businesses have leading market positions and provide the Company’s customers with value-added solutions and products.
    Expand Distribution Channels. The Company plans to continue to expand its distribution channels in both existing and new markets internationally by utilizing both direct and indirect sales organizations. In 2005-2007, the Company targeted Japan, Australia, and South Asia for further business expansion. In 2008, the Company plans to build a sales network in these countries: including direct sales offices, sales reps and sales partners, and complete market surveys to locate target promotion products at the initial stage. The Company will concentrate on developing aftermarket demand in 2008 and 2009 in these areas to obtain quick sales record and the Company’s brand recognition. In the second half of 2009, the Company plans to increase its efforts in these countries for OEM business opportunities gradually.
Management believes that its continuing success in the NAFTA market for the last 8 years proves that its core competence, “Mechanical Manufacturing Service, (MMS), is sustainable. The Company is building upon MMS and plans to take the following actions to achieve further growth:
1. The Company will establish a cross-functional task force to prioritize and facilitate expansion of sourcing and sales;

 


 

2. With priorities determined, the Company will expand its marketing and sales force to capture new sources of supply and enter additional lucrative markets; and
3. As new sources and customers of different markets are engaged, increasing the quality assurance and production control staff under an account management structure will be added to complete full-functional operations.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company protects its trade secrets, confidential information and know-how by a number of methods, including confidentiality agreements between the Company and its customers and suppliers. For example the Company has executed the following agreements:
    Confidentiality Agreement with DANA Corporation
 
    Confidentiality Agreement with Edscha AG
 
    Information Exchange and Confidentiality Agreement with COM Engineering GmbH
 
    Confidentiality agreement with DELPHI
 
    Confidentiality Disclosure Agreement with TRACTECH (A subsidiary of EATON)
In addition, the Company limits its technologies, product designs and know-how to specific clients and suppliers. For example:
Design:
    Bilingual drawing and Spec. between specific clients
 
    Particular product spec’s (bilingual) and package agreements with clients on a case-by-case basis
Product Manufacturing:
    Manufacturing Process Flow for each specific product
 
    Control Plan for Production Management
 
    Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
The Company believes that due to its long-standing cooperation with major customers, a difficult high entry barrier for Componus’ competitors exists. The Company’s know-how is critical in winning their customer’s trust and confidence, and adds value to the Company’s supply chain management.

Risk Factors
RISK FACTORS
An Investment in our common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this Current Report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be materially harmed.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
  We have a history of operating losses. There is no assurance that we will be profitable in the future.
    The Company incurred a net loss of $185,230 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. We cannot be sure that we will achieve profitability in fiscal 2008 or thereafter. Continuing losses may exhaust our capital resources and force us to discontinue operations.
  Weakness in the automotive industry would result in a substantial reduction in demand for the Company’s products which would have a material adverse effect on its business
    A prolonged weakness in the automotive industry would reduce the demand for our products and decrease our sales. In addition, if automobile manufacturers choose to incorporate more plastics, aluminum and other steel substitutes in their automobiles, it could reduce demand for our products.
  Our sales and earnings fluctuate due to the cyclical nature of the automotive industry.
    The cyclical nature of the automotive industry is affected by such things as the level of consumer spending, the strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar and the impact of international trade and various factors, such as labor unrest and the availability of raw materials, which affect the ability of the automotive industry to actually build cars.

 


 

  The markets in which we operate are highly competitive, and many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do.
    The automotive components market is highly competitive and fragmented. The Company competes with many companies engaged in the manufacture (forging and casting) and sale of automotive components. Competition within the steel industry, both domestically and worldwide, is intense and it is expected to remain so. The Company competes primarily on the basis of (1) price, (2) quality and (3) the ability to meet its customers’ product needs and delivery schedules. Some of the Company’s competitors have longer operating histories and financial, sales, marketing and design capabilities and other competitive resources which are substantially greater than those of the Company. There can be no assurance that other companies will not attempt to enter or expand their presence in any of the Company’s existing product categories or in new categories in which the Company plans or may plan to develop products. If the Company is unable to compete successfully in this highly competitive market, its future prospects of success may be harmed.
  The Company’s failure to pass on increases in the cost of raw materials such as steel to its customers would reduce the Company’s earnings.
    If the Company is unable to pass on higher raw material costs to its customers it will be less profitable. The Company may not be able to adjust its product prices, especially in the short-term, to recover the costs of increases in raw material prices, which have reached historically high levels. The principal raw material is steel, and prices for steel are subject to market forces largely beyond the Company’s control, including demand by international steel producers, freight costs and speculation. Other raw materials include iron ore, coke and coking coal which are all used in their steel making processes. The Company can not be assured that customers will agree to pay higher prices for our steel products, sufficient for the Company to maintain its margins, without resistance or the selection of other suppliers or alternative materials. If this occurs the Company may lose customers and suffer a loss of earnings.
  Approximately thirty-three percent of the Company’s current revenues are derived from one customer. The loss of that customer could materially reduce our revenues. As a result, the Company’s financial condition and stock price would be adversely affected.
    The Company currently derives approximately twenty percent of its revenue from the Affinia Group. Although the Company expects this contract to account for a substantial portion of the Company’s revenues going forward, there is no guarantee that this will be the case. In the event that this contract is terminated or reduced, the Company’s revenues would significantly decrease and our financial condition could be adversely affected.
  The Company is subject to environmental liabilities and limitations: The Company is subject to the risk of substantial environmental liability and limitations on operations brought about by the requirements of environmental laws and regulations.
    The Company is subject to various national and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations concerning such issues as air emissions, wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous materials and waste handling and disposal, and the investigation and remediation of contamination. These laws and regulations are increasingly stringent. While the Company believes that its facilities are and will continue to be in material compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, the risks of substantial costs and liabilities related to compliance with such laws and regulations are an inherent part of the business. Although the Company is not currently involved in any remediation activities, it is possible that future conditions may develop, arise or be discovered that create substantial environmental remediation liabilities and costs. For example, the Company’s steelmaking operations produce certain waste products, such as electric arc furnace dust, which are classified as hazardous waste and must be properly disposed of under applicable environmental laws. These laws can impose clean up liability on generators of hazardous waste and other substances that are shipped off-site for disposal, regardless of fault or the legality of the disposal activities. Other laws may require the Company to investigate and remediate contamination at its plant, including contamination that was caused in whole or in part by third parties. While the Company believes that it can comply with environmental legislation and regulatory requirements, it is possible that such compliance will prove to be more limiting and costly than anticipated. In addition to potential clean up liability, the Company may become subject to substantial monetary fines and penalties for violation of applicable laws, regulations or administrative conditions. It may also be subject from time to time to legal proceedings brought by private parties or governmental agencies with respect to environmental matters.

 


 

  Product defects could cause the Company to incur significant product liability, warranty, repair and support costs and damage its reputation which would have a material adverse effect on its business.
    Although the Company rigorously tests its products, defects may be discovered in future or existing products. These defects could cause the Company to incur significant warranty, support and repair costs and divert the attention of its research and development personnel. It could also significantly damage the Company’s reputation and relationship with its distributors and customers which would adversely affect its business. In addition, such defects could result in personal injury or financial or other damages to customers who may seek damages with respect to such losses. A product liability claim against the Company, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time consuming and costly to defend.
  The loss of our senior management and failure to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive labor market could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy, resulting in a slower rate of growth.
    We depend on the continued service of our senior management. Due to the nature of our business, we may have difficulty locating and hiring qualified personnel and retaining such personnel once hired. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms, could limit our ability to execute our growth strategy resulting in a slower rate of growth.
  General economic downturns in general would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
    The Company’s operations may in the future experience substantial fluctuations from period to period as a consequence of general economic conditions affecting consumer spending. Therefore, any economic downturns in general would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
  A demand for payment of outstanding loans would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
    Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Commercial Bank, The Chinese Bank and a number of other banks have extended loans to the Company of approximately $7,323,570. The loans are personally guaranteed by Mr. Hung-lang Huang, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company and Mrs. Huang Wang Bing-Chin, Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company. An early demand of payment of any of the outstanding loans would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
  We may need additional funds in the future. We may be unable to obtain additional funds or if we obtain financing it may not be on terms favorable to us. Investors may lose your entire investment.
    Based on the Company’s current plans, management believes the Company’s existing cash and cash equivalents along with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital requirements through December 30, 2008, although there is no assurance of this result, we may need funds in the future. If our capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we will have to raise additional funds. If we are unable to obtain additional funds on terms favorable to us, we may be required to cease or reduce our operating activities.
  We do not anticipate paying any dividends.
    No dividends have been paid on the common stock of the Company. The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future, and anticipates that profits, if any, received from operations will be devoted to the Company’s future operations. Any decision to pay dividends will depend upon the Company’s profitability at the time, cash available therefore and other relevant factors.

Item 3.02   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on September 8, 2008, we issued 89,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to individuals and entities as designated by Componus in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Componus. Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration, in part pursuant to Regulation S and Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 and in part pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
We made this determination based on the representations of the entities designated by Componus which included, in pertinent part, that such shareholders were either (a) “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, or (b) not a “U.S. person” as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S under the Act, and that such shareholders were acquiring our common stock, for investment purposes for their own respective accounts and not as nominees or agents, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that the entities designated by Componus

 


 

understood that the shares of our common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
Item 5.01   Changes in Control of Registrant.
As explained more fully in Item 2.01, in connection with the Exchange Agreement, on September 8, 2008, we issued 89,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to shareholders of Componus Inc. in exchange for the transfer of 100% of the outstanding shares of Componus capital stock to us. As such, immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the former shareholders of Componus hold approximately 87.25% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock entitled to vote.
As explained more fully in the above Item 2.01 under the section titled “Management” and below in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on September 8, 2008, we acquired Componus, Inc. in a reverse acquisition transaction that was structured as a share exchange and in connection with that transaction, John C.

No fractional shares will be issued; all fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share.

 


 

C. Name Change
Pursuant to the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company has changed its name to “DIAS Holding, Inc.” This change is required pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement and will better reflect the new line of business of the Company.
D. Removal of Article VI from the Certificate of Incorporation
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company has removed Article VI from the Certificate of Incorporation. The former Article VI provided:
     A. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws of the corporation shall so provide.
     B. The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances, shall be divided into three classes with the term of office of the first class (Class I) to expire at the annual meeting of the stockholders held in 2000; the term of office of the second class (Class II) to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2001; the term of office of the third class (Class III) to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2002; and thereafter for each such term to expire at each third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after such election. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of term for which elected, and until their respective successors are elected, except in the case of the death, resignation, or removal of any director.
     C. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation or other cause may be filled (a) by the stockholders at any meeting, (b) by a majority of the directors, although less than a quorum, or (c) by a sole remaining director, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the class to which they have been elected expires, and until their respective successors are elected, except in the case of the death, resignation, or removal of any director. No decrease in the number of directors consisting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
     D. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the corporation may be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
     E. Special meetings of stockholders of the corporation may be called only by either the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorship at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption), the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.
This proposal modified how Directors are elected, how they are appointed in the case of a vacancy or expansion of the Board and when and how certain special meetings of the stockholders may be called. Upon removal of Article VI, corresponding default provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law would govern the Corporation and the Board of Directors.
