AMENDMENT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE CORPORATION
The Board of Directors of Rascals has unanimously adopted a resolution to change the name of the corporation from "Rascals International, Inc." to "Headliners Entertainment Group, Inc." The holders of shares representing a majority of Rascals outstanding common stock have given their written consent to the resolution. Under Delaware corporation law, the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares is effective as shareholders' approval. We will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware on or after May 25, 2004, and it will become effective on the date of such filing (the "Effective Date").
The name change has been approved because the new name better represents the corporation's business plan. Until recently the corporation's business was focused exclusively on the operation of the Rascals Comedy Clubs. The corporation intends to continue that business in the future, but will also be involved in other entertainment ventures.
Certificates for the corporation's common stock that recite the name "Rascals International, Inc." will continue to represent shares in the corporation after the Effective Date. If, however, a shareholder wishes to acquire a certificate reciting the name "Headliners Entertainment roup, Inc." after the Effective Date, he may do so by surrendering his certificate to Rascals' transfer agent with a request for a replacement certificate and the appropriate stock transfer fee. Rascals' transfer agent is:
Interwest Transfer Company, Inc. 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100 Salt Lake City, UT 84117 Telephone: (801) 272-9294 Fax: (801) 277-3147
AMENDMENT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK
The Board of Directors of Rascals has unanimously adopted a resolution to increase from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 the number of shares of common stock authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation. The holders of shares representing a majority of Rascals outstanding common stock have given their written consent to the resolution. Under Delaware corporation law, the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares is effective as shareholders' approval. We will file the Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware on or after May 25, 2004, and it will become effective on the date of such filing (the "Effective Date").
The purpose of the increase is to enable Rascals to enter into arrangements for the sale of its equity that are needed in order to fund the implementation of its business plan. Rascals has not entered into any agreement to issue the additional shares. However it is currently party to an Equity Line of Credit Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP, pursuant to which some of the additional shares may be issued.
The Equity Line of Credit Agreement provides that during the two years commencing January 8, 2004 Rascals may demand that Cornell Capital Partners purchase shares of common stock from Rascals. The aggregate maximum that Rascals may demand from Cornell Capital Partners is $10,000,000. The number of shares that Cornell Capital Partners will purchase after a demand will be determined by dividing the dollar amount demanded by a per share price. The per share price used will be 98% of the lowest daily volume-weighted average price during the five trading days that follow the date a demand is made by Rascals.
During 2004 Rascals has sold a total of 7,955,121 shares to Cornell Capital Partners pursuant to the terms of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, and received $650,000 for those shares. In addition, Cornell Capital Partners has made loans to Rascals, the remaining balance of which totals $850,000. The loans will be satisfied at a rate of $50,000 per week by Rascals issuing shares to Cornell Capital Partners under the terms of the Equity Line of Credit Agreement. The number of shares that will be issued in this way will depend on the market price of Rascals' common stock from time to time. At present, by agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, Rascals has reserved 52,044,879 of its authorized common shares to be available for issuance if needed to satisfy the outstanding loans.
We do not know whether any of the additional shares being authorized will be needed to satisfy Rascals' obligation to Cornell Capital Partners, nor whether Rascals will otherwise sell any of those shares to Cornell Capital Partners pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit Agreement.
No Dissenters Rights
Under Delaware law, shareholders are not entitled to dissenters' rights with respect to the Reverse Split.
