II 401 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD - SUITE 1020 SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA 90401 -------------------------------- INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(F) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 AND SEC RULE 14F-1 NOTICE OF CHANGE IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS JUNE 24, 2004 -------------------------------- This information statement is being furnished to holders of record of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Orion Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation, in accordance with the requirements of Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14f-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act. NO VOTE OR OTHER ACTION BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS IS REQUIRED IN RESPONSE TO THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. PROXIES ARE NOT BEING SOLICITED. INTRODUCTION We anticipate that, following the expiration of the ten-day period beginning on the later of the date of the filing of this information statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 14f-1 or the date of mailing of this information statement to our stockholders, the transactions contemplated by the Form of Agreement and Plan of Merger between Orion and Citadel Media, Inc., a Washington corporation ("Citadel"), discussed below under "Change of Control" will be completed ("Merger"). At that time: o Orion will issue to the shareholders of Citadel, an aggregate of 443,526 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which will have the right to vote in all matters put before the stockholders of Orion (other than a statutorily required class vote) the equivalent of 4,435,263 shares of common stock, representing approximately 51% of the voting authority of the equity securities of Orion, assuming the sale of the maximum of 3,000,000 shares of common stock in a private placement which is a condition to the merger (the above percentage will be approximately 67% if only the 1,000,000 minimum number of shares are sold in the private placement); and o Anthony DiGiandomenico and Dyana Marlett, two of the three current members of the board of directors of Orion will resign as directors and officers, leaving Christopher A. Marlett the sole continuing director, and James C. Heckman, Brian Kosar and Patrick Crumb will be appointed as new directors and shall constitute three of the four members of our board of directors and will be executive officers of Orion immediately following the consummation of the merger agreement. Because of the change in the composition of our board of directors, appointment of new officers and the sale of securities pursuant to the merger agreement, there will be a change in control of our company on the date the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are completed. As of June 1, 2004, we had issued and outstanding 1,030,907 shares of common stock, our only class of voting securities that would be entitled to vote for directors at a stockholders meeting if one were to be held. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Please read this information statement carefully. It describes the terms of the merger agreement and contains certain biographical and other information concerning our executive officers and directors after completion of the transactions under the merger agreement. CHANGE OF CONTROL Orion anticipates entering into a merger agreement with Citadel, pursuant to which Orion will merge with and acquire Citadel, and Orion will be the surviving corporation. Under the merger agreement Orion will issue 443,526 shares of Series B Preferred Stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares of capital stock of Citadel and reserve 241,474 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for exercise of outstanding options and warrants of Citadel which are being assumed by Orion pursuant to their terms. The Series B Preferred Stock, among other rights, will possess the right to vote with the outstanding common stock of Orion in all matters presented to the stockholders, in addition to any statutory rights of a separate class vote for the Series B Preferred Stock, at the conversion rate, which currently represents the right of 10 votes for every one share of preferred stock outstanding. As a condition to the merger, Orion must sell additional shares of its common stock in a private placement on the basis of a 1,000,000 minimum and 3,000,000 maximum share offering, and issue to the selling agent shares equal to 10% of the number of shares sold in the private offering. The merger agreement also provides that Mr. Anthony DiGiandomenico and Ms. Dyana Marlett, two of the three current members of the board of directors and officers of Orion will resign, leaving as the sole continuing member of the board, Mr. Christopher A. Marlett. On the merger date, Messrs. James C. Heckman, Brian Kosar and Patrick Crumb will be appointed as new members of the board of directors. In addition, upon the merger, Messrs. Heckman, Kosar and Crumb and Ms. Karen Northup, all officers of Citadel will become the executive officers of Orion, and Mr. Marlett will resign as the current president of Orion. On the basis of the above transactions, the current shareholders of Citadel will control approximately 51% of the voting equity securities of Orion after the merger, assuming the full amount of the offered private placement shares are sold. If the minimum amount is sold, the current shareholders of Citadel will control approximately 67% of the voting equity securities of Orion. In addition, there will be 241,473.7 shares of Series B Preferred Stock reserved for issuance on exercise of outstanding Citadel options and warrants, 174,496 of which will be held by the new officers and directors of Orion, and 80,263 of such number are immediately exercisable. The investors in the private placement have agreed that they will vote their shares of common stock to increase the capital of Orion from its current 10,000,000 authorized common stock to not less than 25,000,000 shares of common stock. The investors have given MDB Capital Group LLC the right to vote their shares for this amendment. Orion plans to seek an amendment to the certificate of incorporation to make this change as soon as possible after the merger. Upon the increase in the authorized common stock, the Class B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock and the Class B Preferred Stock will be extinguished. 2 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of June 1, 2004 by (i) those persons or groups known to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock prior to the closing of the merger agreement, (ii) those persons or groups known to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock on and after the closing of the merger agreement, (iii) each current director and each person that will become a director upon the closing of the merger agreement, (iv) our chief executive officer and each executive officer whose compensation exceeded $100,000 in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, (v) all current directors and executive officers as a group, and (vi) all directors and executive officers on and after the closing of the merger agreement as a group. The information is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Except as indicated below, the stockholders listed possess sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares. Except as otherwise indicated in the table below, the business address of Messrs. Marlett and DiGiandomenico and Ms. Marlett is 401 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 1020, Santa Monica, CA 90401 and Messrs. Heckman, Kosar and Crumb and Ms. Northup is 2125 Western Avenue, Suite 200, Seattle, Washington 98121. This table also indicates the percentages assuming both the 1,000,000 minimum and 3,000,000 maximum number of shares are sold in the private placement and the related compensation shares (100,000 for the minimum and 300,000 for the maximum) payable to the placement agent are issued in connection with the private placement. This table includes Class B Warrants that become exercisable upon consummation of the merger for a period of one year after that date, and certain options and warrants held by the former Citadel officers and directors that will be assumed by Orion. The beneficial ownership is calculated assuming a closing date for the Merger of June 15, 2004.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, our board of directors met on two occasions. Our entire board participated in each of the meetings. We do not have a standing audit or nominating committee or any other committees. 6 Each member of our board of directors serves a term of one year or from the date of election until the end of the designated term and until the successor is elected and qualified. Members of the board of directors generally are elected annually by the stockholders and may be removed as provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the articles of incorporation and by-laws. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Our directors currently are not compensated for serving as members of our board of directors. AUDIT COMMITTEE ISSUES Orion does not have a separate, standing audit committee. The board of directors handles these functions. Orion's current directors are each involved actively in the financial services industry and are familiar with evaluating financial reports and the financial condition of public and private companies. Because of experience, education and current employment, Messrs. Marlett and DiGiandomenico and Ms. Marlett would be considered financial experts under Regulation S-B. Because of this expertise, the board determined it was not necessary to have an audit committee in connection with its operations at this time. None of the directors would be deemed "independent" under either SEC guidelines or the various exchange guidelines. CODE OF ETHICS The Company has not adopted a formal code of ethics statement. The board of directors evaluated the business of the company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is largely limited to maintaining its cash investments while its searches for a target company and consummates an acquisition and the only persons acting for Orion are the three directors who are also the officers, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. Moreover, each of the current directors is a registered person with the NASD and subject to regulation and scrutiny of that entity. SHAREHOLDER-DIRECTOR COMMUNICATION Orion neither has a nominating committee for persons to be proposed as directors for election to the board of directors nor a formal method of communicating nominees from shareholders. Orion does not have any restrictions on shareholder nominations under its certificate of incorporation or by-laws. The only restrictions are those applicable generally under Delaware Corporate Law and the federal proxy rules. Currently the entire board of directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of one or more members of the board. None of the members of the board of directors are "independent." The board of directors will consider suggestions from individual shareholders, subject to evaluation of the person's merits. Stockholders may communicate nominee suggestions directly to any of the board members, accompanied by biographical details and a statement of support for the nominees. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to being considered for nomination. Although there are no formal criteria for nominees, the board of directors believes that persons should be actively engaged in business endeavors, have a financial background, and be familiar with acquisition strategies and money management. Because the current management and directors of Orion are the same persons, the board of directors has determined not to adopt a formal methodology for communications from shareholders on 7 the belief that any communication would be brought to the boards' attention by virtue of the co-extensive employments. The board of directors does not have a formal policy of attendance of directors at the annual meeting. It does encourage such attendance. Orion did not have an annual meeting in 2003. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the equity securities of Orion ("ten percent stockholders") to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are charged by SEC regulation to furnish Orion with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, Orion believes that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, all filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders were fulfilled. On May 5, 2004, Mr. Marlett amended a Form 4 report for March 2002 to report the acquisition of 10,000 Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants that were not previously disclosed. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION CURRENT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Orion does not currently compensate any of the officers or other employees. Orion does not intend to provide any remuneration to officers or employees until after the Merger. EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS AFTER THE MERGER After the merger, Orion will have employment agreements and/or arrangements with each of Messrs. Heckman, Kosar and Crumb and Ms. Northup.

The agreement is also expected to provide for a grant of option for shares equivalent to 102,666 of Orion common stock, 5,704 of which shall have vested at or within 60 days of the date of the Merger, and 96,962 of which will vest following such date. The total number of such options under the agreement (both pre-Merger and post-Merger) will vest ratably over three years from the effective date of June 15, 2004, in 1/36th monthly installments. The exercise price of the options is $.01 and their expiration date is variable and dependent upon the date Ms. Northup's relation with the Company is terminated. OPTION GRANTS Orion did not grant any stock options to our executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. After the merger, Orion will have an option plan for employees, directors and others as a result of assuming the options, warrants and option plans of Citadel. There is projected to be an aggregate of 241,474 shares of Series B Preferred Stock subject to all the outstanding options and warrants. AUDIT FEES In each of fiscal years 2002 and 2003, for the aggregate professional services rendered by the principal accounting firm for the audit of its annual financial statements and review of financial statements and other statutory and regulatory filings, Orion paid the sum of $27,863.16 and $24,856.77, respectively. AUDIT RELATED FEES In each of the fiscal years 2002 and 2003, Orion paid no amounts in respect of audit related fees. TAX FEES In each of the fiscal years 2002 and 2003, Orion paid $4,785.35 and $3,514.37, respectively, for tax compliance, tax advice and related professional services rendered by Orion's principal accounting firm. 9 ALL OTHER FEES Orion did not pay any amounts in respect of other audit services in fiscal years 2002 and 2003. BOARD APPROVAL OF AUDIT SERVICES The services rendered by Orion's principal accounting firm were approved by the board of directors because it does not have an audit committee. Approval was based on an evaluation of past services and the need for these services in the current period, comparative analysis of rates and availability of service staff and management's recommendation. Each service was specifically evaluated before an engagement was undertaken. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Orion uses the services and some of the employees of MDB Capital Group LLC and has its executive offices at the offices of MDB Capital Group LLC. Orion does not pay any amount to or for the employees of MDB Capital Group LLC or any rent for these offices. Orion reimburses MDB Capital Group LLC for documented out of pocket expenses incurred on its behalf. Each of Christopher A.
