Notice is given to all stockholders that a majority action of stockholders in lieu of an annual meeting of Global Broadcast Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) was taken on October 20, 2004 to consider and vote upon an amendment to the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and the filing of said amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change the name of the Corporation to DIAGNOSTIC CORPORATION OF AMERICA.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT NAME CHANGE

 

Our Board of Directors proposes to amend Article I of our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from GLOBAL BROADCAST GROUP, INC. to DIAGNOSTIC CORPORATION OF AMERICA. We believe that the new name will provide a more accurate description of our current operations and to be consistent with our marketing efforts in the medical diagnostic industry. The Amendment is being sought solely to enhance our image and more accurately reflect our current and proposed business.

 

Section 228 of the Delaware Corporation Law provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of common stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for such an annual or special meeting. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding an annual or special meeting and in order to effect the proposals as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Corporation, as hereinafter described, the Board of Directors of the Corporation voted to utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the Corporation’s outstanding voting capital stock.

 

Under Delaware law, stockholders are not entitled to dissenter’s rights of appraisal with respect to the proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation. The complete text of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is set forth as Exhibit A to this Information Statement.


The Effective Date of the amendment shall be the date of filing of a Certificate of Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001.
