Suite 102 PMB 341 Dallas, TX 75248 We Are Not Asking You For a Proxy and You Are Requested Not to Send Us A Proxy THE ACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF GREATER THAN FIFTY PERCENT (50%) OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK. A VOTE OF THE REMAINING STOCKHOLDERS IS NOT NECESSARY. This information statement is being mailed on or about July 18, 2005 to holders of record as of July 13, 2005 (the "Record Date") of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Mailkey Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"). It is being furnished in connection with the following actions (collectively, the "Amendment"): 1. The amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from Mailkey Corporation to IElement Corporation; 2. The amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued from 100,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares; 3. The amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to authorize the creation of 200,000,000 shares of Blank Check Preferred Stock; 4. To approve the Restated Bylaws of the Company; 5. To authorize the Board of Directors or their authorized agent(s) to obtain a new stock symbol on the NASD Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board. On March 3, 2005 the Company's Board of Directors recommended that the stockholders approve the above listed amendments. These amendments will be effected by notice to the appropriate regulatory authorities and will become effective upon such filing and final but in no case before the expiration of at least twenty (20) days after the date an Information Statement is delivered to shareholders holding shares in the Company as of the Record Date and in no case before the expiration twenty (20) days after an Information Statement of filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in definitive form. Shareholders of the Company holding greater than fifty percent (50%) of all voting power of capital stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date have consented in writing to this proposal. Approval by the Board of Directors and by the holders of 1/2 of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock is adequate under Nevada law to effect Amendment. INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, resulting from the Amendment, which is not shared by all other stockholders pro-rata, and in accordance with their respective interests. By Order of the Board of Directors Dated August 1, 2005 /s/ Ivan Zweig ---------------------------------------- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dated August 1, 2005 /s/ Tim Dean-Smith ---------------------------------------- Director and Chief Financial Officer Dated August 1, 2005 /s/ Susan Walton ---------------------------------------- Director ------- INFORMATION STATEMENT --------------------- AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION On March 3, 2005, our Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to (1) change the name of the Company from Mailkey Corporation to IElement Corporation; (2) increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized to be issued from 100,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares; (3) authorize the creation of 200,000,000 shares of Blank Check Preferred Stock; (4) approve the Restated Bylaws of the Company; and, (5) to authorize the Board of Directors or their authorized agent(s) to obtain a new stock symbol on the NASD Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board. Upon twenty days following the filing of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C in definitive form and the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada (the "Amendment"), the Company's name will be changed to IElement Corporation. The purpose of this change is to reflect the share exchange with I-Element, Inc., in connection with the merger between the Company and I-Element, Inc., as effected January 19, 2005 and disclosed on Form 8-K filed by the Company on January 25, 2005, and further to reflect that the business of I-Element, Inc., is now the primary operating business of the Company. The voting and other rights that accompany the Common Stock will not be affected by the change in corporate name. SHAREHOLDERS MAY, BUT NEED NOT, EXCHANGE THEIR CERTIFICATES, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE SHAREHOLDER, TO REFLECT THE CHANGE IN CORPORATE NAME. The Amendment will increase the amount of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue to 2,000,000,000 and authorize the creation of up to 200,000,000 shares of "blank check preferred stock." The Amendment creates a provision in the Company's Articles of Incorporation that allows the actual terms of the blank check preferred stock to be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance. No dividend, voting, conversion, liquidation or redemptions rights as well as redemption or sinking fund provisions are yet established with respect to the Company's blank check preferred stock. The Board of Directors believes that the availability of authorized but unissued shares of blank check preferred stock will provide flexibility to issue such securities for a variety of corporate purposes such as to make acquisitions through the use of stock, to raise equity capital and to reserve additional shares for issuance under such plans and under plans of acquired companies. Additionally, the Board of Directors believes that the creation of blank check preferred stock would facilitate business and financial objectives in the future without the necessity of delaying such activities for further shareholder approval, except as may be required in particular cases by our Articles of Incorporation, applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association trading system on which the our securities may then be listed. The Board of Directors has no immediate plans, understandings, agreements or commitments to issue blank check preferred stock for any purposes. Under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, our shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to issuances of common stock. Thus, should the Board of Directors elect to issue additional shares of common stock or preferences to common stock or in connection with the designation of preferred stock, existing shareholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase such shares. If the Board of Directors elects to issue additional shares of common stock or rights to purchase or receive common stock, such issuances or rights could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, book value per share, voting power and shareholdings of current stockholders. The Restated By-Laws is intended to inform the Company's shareholders of their shareholder's rights under the Bylaws and to and enhance the efficiency action by the Board of Directors as provided under the laws of the state of Nevada. Concurrent with the change in the corporate name of the Company from Mailkey Corporation to IElement Corporation, the Company will undertake the necessary action to change its trading symbol from "MAKY.OB" on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board to a symbol that has yet to be determined. The Company expects to receive a new trading symbol at the approximate time that its name change becomes effective and will disclose the new symbol to its shareholders in a subsequent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS/APPRAISAL RIGHTS Shareholders of the Company are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters rights under the laws of the State of Nevada by virtue of an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (i) changing the corporate name of the Company, (ii) increasing the shares of common stock that the Company may issue, (iii) creating a class of "Blank Check Preferred Stock," or (iv) by virtue of amendment to and restatement of the Company's bylaws. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2005, information with respect to the securities holdings of all persons that we, pursuant to filings with the SEC and our stock transfer records, have reason to believe may be deemed the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the common stock. The following table also sets forth, as of such date, the beneficial ownership of the common stock by all of our executive officers and directors, both individually and as a group. The beneficial owners set forth below have been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Amount and Nature of Percentage Name and Address Beneficial Ownership of Class (1) of Beneficial Owner ------------------------------ -------------------- ------------ Ivan Zweig 18,770,966 (2) 19.8% Tim Dean-Smith 4,982,752 5.3% Susan Walton 441,777 0.47% All directors and executive 24,195,495 25.5% officers as a group Including all above, regardless of status as current director/ officer. --------------------- (1) The percentages have been calculated based upon 94,850,535 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 28, 2005 plus, for each person or group, the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of any convertible securities beneficially owned by such person or group. (2) Includes 18,685,966 shares owned by Kramerica Corp., over which Mr. Zweig has sole voting and investment power, and 0 (zero) shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options. INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, resulting from the Amendment, which is not shared by all other stockholders pro-rata, and in accordance with their respective interests.
