|
|
2)
|

acquisition;
|
Q:
|
Who

|
A:
|
The
proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of
Multiband.
|
Q:

respectively, vote:
|
Q:
|

completed?
|
A:
|
Multiband
expects to complete the acquisition to be completed by no later than
December 31, 2009 but that date may be extended by mutual agreement of the
parties.
|
Q:
|
What
vote of shareholders is expected to approve the
Acquisition?
|
A:
|
Approval
of the Acquisition requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the
shareholders of Multiband common stock as of the record date of November
10 , 2009 that are present in person or by proxy at the special
meeting.
|
Q:
|
Who
is entitled to vote at the Multiband Special
Meeting?
|
A:
|
Multiband
shareholders as of the close of business on November 10 , 2009, the record
date for the Multiband Special Meeting are entitled to receive notice of
and to attend and vote at the Multiband Special Meeting. At the
record date, shares of Multiband
common stock, held by Multiband shareholders of record were outstanding
and entitled to vote. Multiband shareholders may vote all shares
that they owned as of the record date. Multiband shareholders are
entitled to one vote for each share of Multiband common stock that they
own.
|
Q:
|
What
does it mean if you get more than one Proxy
Card?
|
A:
|
If
you have shares of common stock that are registered in different names
and/or are held in more than one account, you will receive more than one
Proxy Card. Please follow the directions for voting on each of the
Proxy Cards you receive to ensure that all of your shares are
voted.
|
Q:
|
How
do you vote without attending the Special
Meeting?
|
A:
|
If
you are a registered Multiband shareholder (that is, if you hold you
shares of Multiband common stock in your name), you may vote your
shares of common stock by following the instructions included with the
enclosed Proxy Card and as indicated in the Notice of the Multiband
Special Meeting.
|
Q:
|
How
do you vote in person at the Multiband Special
Meeting?
|
A:
|
If
you are a registered Multiband shareholder, you may attend the Special
Meeting of the shareholders and vote your shares of Multiband common
stock, as the case may be, in person at the Special Meeting by giving
Multiband, as the case may be, a signed Proxy Card or ballot before the
voting is closed. If you want to do that, please bring proof of
identification with you. Even if you plan to attend the Special
Meeting, Multiband recommend that you vote your shares of capital stock in
advance as described above, so your vote will be counted even if you later
decide not to attend.
|
Q:
|
If
your shares of Multiband capital stock are held in “street name” by your
broker, bank or other nominee, will your nominee vote your shares for
you?
|
A:
|
Only
if you provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee on how
to vote may your broker, bank or other nominee act as such. You
should follow the directions provided by your broker, bank or other
nominee with this Proxy Statement regarding how to instruct your
nominee to vote your shares. Without instructions from you, your
shares will not be voted. If your broker, bank or other nominee
fails to contact you, you should contact your broker, bank, or other
nominee directly.
|
Q:
|
May
you change your vote?
|
A:
|
You
may revoke or change your proxy at any time before it is voted. If
you are a registered shareholder of Multiband, you may revoke or change
your proxy before it is voted by:
|
|
1)
|
Filing
a notice or revocation, which is dated later than the proxy you wish to
revoke, with the Secretary of Multiband, as the case may be;
or
|
|
2)
|
Submitting
a duly executed Proxy Card bearing a later date in the manner indicated on
the Proxy Card and in the Notice of Multiband Special
Meeting.
|
Q:
|
What
happens if you sell your shares of Multiband capital stock before the
Special Meeting?
|
A:
|
If
you were a Multiband shareholder of record on November , 2009, the record
date, you retain your right to vote at the Multiband Special Meeting, even
if you sell your shares of capital stock after that date. If you
held your Multiband shares of capital stock in “street name” on the record
date, you retain your right to direct your broker or other nominee to vote
at the Multiband Special Meeting, even if you sell your shares of capital
stock after that date.
|
Q:
|
What
is a quorum?
|
A:
|
A
quorum of the holders of thirty-four percent (34%) of the issued and
outstanding shares of Multiband common stock must be present to conduct
business at the Multiband Special Meeting. Abstentions are counted as
present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is
present.
|
Q:
|
How
are votes counted?
|
|
A:
|
For
the proposal relating to the approval of the Acquisition, Multiband
shareholders may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN”. Approval
of the Acquisition requires (a) the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the issued and outstanding Multiband common stock that are
present in person or by proxy at the special
meeting. Abstentions will count for the purpose of determining
whether a quorum is present, and will have the same effect as a vote
against the Merger
Agreement.
|
|
For
the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate,
to solicit additional proxies to vote for approval of the acquisition, you
may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN”. The proposal to adjourn the
Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional
proxies requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
issued and outstanding Multiband common stock that are present in person
or by proxy at the Special Meeting and entitled to vote on this
proposal. Abstentions are considered present and entitled to vote
and therefore will have the same effect as a vote against any proposal to
adjourn the meeting, whereas broker non-votes are not considered present
and entitled to vote and will not affect the proposal to adjourn the
respective Special Meeting.
|
|
If
you sign your Proxy Card without indicating your vote, your Multiband
shares of capital stock will be voted “FOR” the approval of the
acquisition, and “FOR” adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or
appropriate, to solicit additional
proxies.
|
Q:
|
Is
it important for you to vote?
|
A:
|
Yes,
because Multiband cannot conduct the votes to approve the acquisition
without a quorum (as described above) of the holders of the issued and
outstanding Multiband common stock present at the Special Meeting and
Multiband need the affirmative vote in favor of the Acquisition by the
holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Multiband common
stock, voting as a single class on an as-converted
basis,.
|
Q:
|
Who
will bear the cost of this
solicitation?
|
A:
|
The
expenses of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and the
proxies solicited hereby will be borne by Multiband. Additional
solicitation may be made by telephone, facsimile or other contact by
certain directors, officers, employees or agents of Multiband, none of
whom will receive additional compensation
therefore.
|
Q:
|
Will
a proxy solicitor be used?
|
A:
|
No,
Multiband has decided not to retain the services of a proxy solicitor at
the present time.
|
Q:
|
Who
can help answer your other
questions?
|
A:
|
If
you have more questions about the Multiband Special Meeting, you should

If
the Dividend is paid in Common Stock the total number of shares of Common
Stock paid for such Dividend shall not in the aggregate exceed 750,000
shares of Common Stock as adjusted for stock splits or stock dividends
(the “Dividend Share Limit”). The Dividend Share Limit shall
not apply if the Corporation receives an opinion from its legal counsel
which states that the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the
Dividend Share Limit will not trigger change in control accounting
treatment for the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, any Dividend not paid in Common Stock
shall be paid in cash.
|
|
B.
|
To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the holders of the Series J
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by
the Corporation’s Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation
legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to
time by the Corporation’s Board of
Directors.
|
|
C.
|
In
the event any Dividend is not paid in Common Stock or cash on the
Declaration Date, the Dividend rate set forth in Section (c)(ii) above
shall increase to Nine Percent (9%) per quarter until such time that all
accrued and unpaid Dividends are paid in
full.
