PROXY STATEMENT
For annual meeting of stockholders to be held
on Friday, May 2, 2003
Approximate Date of Mailing: April 11, 2003
GENERAL
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies by the board of directors of Yseek, Inc. (the "Company" or "Yseek"),
for use at our 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Friday, May 2,
2003, at 10:00 AM EST at the Centergate Conference Center, 4995 Commercial
Drive, Palm Harbor, Florida, and at any postponements or adjournments thereof.
We expect to distribute this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card to
stockholders about April 11, 2003.
We will bear the cost of proxy solicitation. In addition to the use of
mails, proxies may be solicited by telephone by our officers, directors, and
regular employees, none of whom will be specially compensated for such services.
Our annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2002,
including audited financial statements, is included with this proxy statement,
but does not constitute a part of this proxy statement.
Holders of our common stock, of record at the close of business on
April 10, 2003, are entitled to vote at the meeting. As of that date, there were
__ shares of common stock outstanding. Each stockholder entitled to vote shall
have the right to one vote for each share outstanding in such stockholder's
name.
We presently have no other class of stock outstanding and entitled to
be voted at the meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of stockholders
composing a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at the meeting constitutes
a quorum.
Shares cannot be voted at the meeting unless the holder of record is
present in person or by proxy. The enclosed proxy is a means by which a
stockholder may authorize the voting of his or her shares at the meeting. The
shares of common stock represented by each properly executed proxy will be voted
at the meeting in accordance with each stockholder's directions. Stockholders
should specify choices by marking the appropriate boxes on the enclosed proxy;
if no choice has been specified, the shares will be voted as recommended by the
board of directors. If any other matters are properly presented at the meeting
for action, the proxy holders will vote the proxies (which confer discretionary
authority to vote on such matters) in accordance with their judgment.
Your execution of the accompanying proxy will not affect your right to
attend the meeting and vote in person. Any stockholder giving a proxy has a
right to revoke it by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of
the Company, or by delivering a subsequently executed proxy, at any time before
the proxy is voted, or by attending the meeting and voting in person. If you are
a stockholder of record and plan to attend the meeting, please return the proxy
card with the "Annual Meeting" box marked. Admission to the meeting will be on a
first-come, first served basis. Stockholders will be admitted upon verification
of ownership at the door.
Your proxy vote is important. Accordingly, please complete, sign, and
return the accompanying proxy whether or not you plan to attend the meeting.
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The persons named as proxies on the accompanying proxy intend to vote
all duly executed proxies for the election of the nominees set forth below,
except as otherwise directed by the shareholder on the proxy.
The stockholders will elect four (4) directors at the annual meeting
for a term of one (1) year expiring at the 2004 annual meeting of the
stockholders, and until the election and qualification of successors (or until
earlier removal or resignation). In the event one or more of the named nominees
is unable to serve, the persons designated as proxies may cast votes for other
persons as substitute nominees. The board of directors has no reason to believe
that any of the nominees named below will be unavailable, or, if elected, will
decline to serve. Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at
the annual meeting. Under the Florida General Corporation Act, an abstaining
vote is not deemed a "vote cast." As a result, abstentions are not included in
the tabulation of the results on the election of directors, and, therefore, do
not have the effect of votes in opposition.
Certain information is set forth below for each nominee for director.
All of the nominees are presently directors, and none have been previously
elected by the stockholders.
The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the
nominees.
