Each holder of common stock is entitled to one (1) vote for each share held. The vote required for election of directors is the two directors receiving the greatest number of affirmative votes. VOTE OBTAINED - SECTION 78.315 OF THE NEVADA REVISED STATUTES A written consent in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the "Consent to Action") adopting and approving the Proposals was executed by the holders of 63.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on the Record Date. The Consent to Action was taken pursuant to Section 78.315 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which permits any action that may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders to be taken by the written consent to the action by the holders of the number of shares of voting stock required to approve the action at a meeting. All necessary corporate approvals in connection with the matters referred to herein have been obtained. This Information Statement is being furnished to all stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and the rules thereunder solely for the purpose of informing stockholders of these corporate actions before they take effect. In accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Consent to Action and the approval of the matters thereunder will be effective 20 calendar days following the mailing of this Information Statement. This Information Statement is intended to provide such notice. DESCRIPTION OF THE CORPORATION CORPORATE HISTORY: The Company was incorporated in October, 1996, under the name PSM CORP, and was formed for the purpose of either merging with or acquiring an operating company with an operating history and assets. On September 30, 2002, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with SuperYachts Holdings, Inc. , a private Nevada corporation ("SuperYachts Holdings"), and its stockholders, to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SuperYachts Holdings. In consideration for acquiring all of SuperYachts Holdings' issued and outstanding shares, we have agreed to issue its stockholders 15,000,000 shares of our common stock. Effective as of October 1, 2002, the Company's name was changed to Platinum SuperYachts, Inc. At that point, our business direction included yacht building, sales, re-sales and yacht services, such as supplies, maintenance, and delivery as well as fill-scale contracted care of yachts. The core business was intended to be the building of yachts in excess of 80 to 200 feet. We planned to hire subcontractors on a per job basis for the construction of the vessels. We have not been successful in the mega yacht industry due to two important factors. First, purchasers of yachts in the price range of our products were not interested in building with a manufacturer that was relatively new in the industry. The preference of the mega yacht buyer is to work with a builder that has a history in the business with product available for the client to view. Second, we were unable to close a financing large enough to allow the company to build a spec yacht. The ability to have a spec yacht available to show our clients the high quality craftsmanship of which we were capable would have significantly increased our ability to sell the product. As the share price of the Company's common stock began to decrease, we were faced with the problem of significant shareholder dilution to secure a funding necessary to build a spec product. Management did not feel it was in the best interest of the shareholders to attempt a multi-million dollar financing while faced with such a low share price. Accordingly, we sold all of the Company's assets related to the yacht business back to the former stockholders of PR Marine Inc. on September 29, 2005 in exchange for the former stockholders of PR Marine Inc. agreeing to cancel all of their outstanding shares of the Company. We are currently researching new business ventures, including potential acquisitions and suitable business partners which will assist us in realizing the Company's business objectives. We are changing the Company's name to reflect that the Company's business is no longer focused on the yacht industry. PROPOSAL 1 - AMENDMENT On November 23, 2005 holders of a majority of the Company's common stock approved the Amendment to change the name of the Company to "Royal Quantum Group Inc.", to increase the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue to 500,000,000 and to authorize the Company to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges to 4 be determined by the Board. On November 23, 2005, the Board approved the Amendment. The Board fixed the close of business on November 23, 2005 as the record date for the determination of stockholders who are entitled to give consent and receive this information statement. As of the Record Date, the Company had approximately 33,108,365 shares of common stock outstanding. A copy of the proposed Amendment effectuating the name change and the increase of the authorized shares attached hereto as Appendix A. We will seek to have the Company's trading symbol changed on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board market to an appropriate symbol reflecting the new corporate name immediately after the filing of the Amendment. The Amendment will become effective upon filing the Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State, which we anticipate will occur approximately 20 days after this Information Statement has been distributed to the Company's stockholders. PROPOSAL 2 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Currently, the Board consists of two persons, each having a term of office until the next annual meeting or election of their successor. The Board has nominated Ron Ruskowsky and Roger Janssen as directors (the "Nominees"), each to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until the director's earlier resignation or removal. Each of the nominees has consented, if elected as a director of the Company, to serve until his term expires. The nominees received a plurality of the votes cast pursuant to the Consent Action. NOMINEES Ron Ruskowsky has a diverse and strong background in corporate structure, management and finance. He has been involved in all aspects of management from marketing to finance and acquisitions in both public and private corporations for over 16 years. Mr. Ruskowsky has been a director of Platinum SuperYachts since October 1, 2002. Mr. Ruskowsky is 38 years old. Roger Janssen has over twenty-five years experience in the manufacturing industry. For the past sixteen years he has owned and operated his own business, which produces aeronautical and marine components in the greater Seattle area. He holds certificates from numerous business courses including TEC International. Mr. Janssen has been contracted as a manufacturing consultant by a number of manufacturing companies throughout the world during their start up-phases. Mr. Janssen has been a director of the company since October 1, 2002. Mr. Janssen is 42 years old. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The Company has not provided directors any compensation for their services in prior fiscal years and the directors have agreed to act without compensation until compensation is authorized by the Board, which is not expected to occur until the company has generated sufficient revenues from its operations. On October 4, 2005, we issued Roger Janssen 2,000,000 shares as compensation for services rendered and in exchange for his agreement to serve as the Company's Vice President and Corporate Secretary. BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS During fiscal year 2004, the Board met 6 times and acted by unanimous written consent 3 times. No director attended less than 75% of the total of Board and committee meetings held during the director's tenure on the Board and its committees. The Board has an Audit Committee. The Board does not have a nominating committee or a compensation committee. None of the Company's directors are independent. The Board believes that given that the Company is still in a development stage, the small size of the Company's Board, the fact that current management controls 63.5% of the voting securities of the Company and the fact that the Company does not compensate its directors it is not necessary to have a nominating committee. The Board also believes that the foregoing factors make it difficult for the Company to attract independent directors to serve on the Company's Board. 5 The Company's entire Board participates in consideration of director nominees. The Board will consider candidates who have experience as a board member or senior officer of a company or who are generally recognized in a relevant field as a well-regarded practitioner, faculty member or senior government officer. The Board will also evaluate whether the candidates' skills and experience are complementary to the existing Board's skills and experience as well as the Board's need for operational, management, financial, international, technological or other expertise. The Board will interview candidates that meet the criteria and then select nominees that Board believes best suit the Company's needs. The Board will consider qualified candidates suggested by stockholders for director nominations. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director nominations by writing to the Company's Corporate Secretary, Roger Janssen, at Suite #1100 - 1200 W. 73rd, Vancouver, British Columbia V6P 6G5. Submissions that are received that meet the criteria described above will be forwarded to the Board for further review and consideration. The Board will not evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders any differently than other candidates. COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Stockholders may communicate with any of the Company's directors by transmitting correspondence by mail, facsimile or e-mail, addressed as follows: Board of Directors c/o Corporate Secretary, Roger Janssen, at Suite #1100 - 1200 W. 73rd, Vancouver, British Columbia V6P 6G5. Fax: 604-264-6133. E-mail: info@royalquantum.com. The communications will be transmitted to the identified director(s) as soon as practicable, unless the Corporate Secretary in consultation with our legal counsel determines there are safety or security concerns that mitigate against further transmission of the communication. The Board or identified director(s) shall be advised of any communication withheld for safety or security reasons as soon as practicable. The Company's policy is that the entire Board will attend stockholders meetings. The Company did not have a stockholders meeting for the 2004 fiscal year. PROPOSAL 3 - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The Board has appointed, and the majority stockholders have approved, Robison Hill & Company ("Robison"), as the Company's independent auditor, also referred to as the independent registered public accounting firm, for fiscal 2005. The Board believes that Robison is knowledgeable about the Company's operations and accounting practices and is well qualified to act in the capacity of independent auditor. Although the appointment of the independent auditor was not required to be approved by the stockholders, the Board believes that stockholders should participate in such selection through ratification. The Proposal to ratify the Board's appointment of Robison was approved by the majority stockholders pursuant to the Consent Action. FEES BILLED BY INDEPENDENT AUDITOR The following table sets forth fees billed to the Company by Robison for professional services rendered for 2004 and 2003: Service 2004 2003 ---- ---- Audit Fees $11,970 $9,960 Audit Related Fees -- -- Tax Fees $240 $240 All Other Fees -- -- Total $12,210 $10,200 AUDIT FEES. Consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audits of our consolidated financial statements, reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports, services performed in connection with filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission and related comfort letters and other services that are normally provided by Robison in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. 6 TAX FEES. Consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. These services include assistance regarding federal, state and local tax compliance and consultation in connection with various transactions and acquisitions. AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Audit Committee, is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services as allowed by law or regulation. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specifically approved amount. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees incurred to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of the Company's 2004 audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees, and all other fees to the extent the services occurred after May 6, 2003, the effective date of the Securities and Exchange Commission's final pre-approval rules. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION None of the company's officers and/or directors currently received any compensation for their respective services rendered to the Company in the past three fiscal years. Officers and directors have agreed to act without compensation until authorized by the Board of Directors, which is not expected to occur until the company has generated sufficient revenues from its operations. As of December 31, 2004, we had no group life, health, hospitalization, or medical reimbursement or relocation plans in effect. Further, we had no pension plans or plans or agreements which provide compensation on the event of termination of employment or change in control of us. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS No formal employment agreements currently exist with any officer or employee. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN None SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that we disclose late filings of reports of stock ownership (and changes in stock ownership) by our directors and statutory insiders.
