INFORMATION STATEMENT

 

INTRODUCTION

 

This Information Statement is being mailed or otherwise furnished to shareholders of Lee Fine Arts, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), on or about __________, 2008, in connection with certain shareholder action taken by written consent of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders to approve and adopt Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation substantially in the form attached as Exhibit "A" to this Information Statement (the "Restated Articles"). The purpose of the Restated Articles is to, among other things, change the Company’s corporate name to “Commerce Holdings, Inc.,” to increase the Company’s authorized capital stock to 500,000,000 shares consisting of 450,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share; and to otherwise ensure that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation conform to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended.

 

Our Board of Directors approved the Restated Articles on July 17, 2008 by written unanimous consent,and recommended that the Restated Articles be approved by our shareholders. The Restated Articles require the approval of holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a shareholder meeting. Under Nevada law, we are permitted to obtain approval of the Restated Articles by written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to approve the Restated Articles at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. On August 1, 2008, holders of a majority of the voting capital stock acted by written consent to approve and adopt the Restated Articles.

 

We have elected not to call a special meeting of our shareholders in order to eliminate the costs of and time involved in holding a special meeting. Our management has concluded that it is in the best interests of our Company to address this matter in the manner stated herein.

 

Shareholders of record at the close of business on August 1, 2008 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to receive this Information Statement. As the Restated Articles have been duly approved by shareholders holding a majority of our voting capital stock, approval or consent of the remaining shareholders is not required and is not being solicited hereby or by any other means.

 

The Restated Articles will become effective when filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We anticipate that the filing of the Restated Articles will occur twenty (20) days after dissemination of this Information Statement to our shareholders, which is expected to occur on or about ___________, 2008.

 

This Information Statement will serve as written notice to shareholders pursuant to Section 78.370 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU

ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY

AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

On July 17, 2008, our Board of Directors, by written unanimous consent, authorized and recommended that our shareholders approve and adopt the Restated Articles.On August 1, 2008, shareholders representing a majority of our voting capital stock outstanding consented in writing to adopt the Restated Articles. The purpose of the Restated Articles is to, among other things, change the Company’s corporate name to “Commerce Holdings, Inc.,” to increase the Company’s authorized capital stock to 500,000,000 shares consisting of 450,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share; and to otherwise ensure that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation conform to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended.

The Restated Articles will become effective upon filing of with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, but our Board of Directors reserves the right to not make such filing if it deems it appropriate not to do so.

 

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE RESTATED ARTICLES

 

The purpose of the Restated Articles is to, among other things, change the Company’s corporate name to “Commerce Holdings, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), to increase the Company’s authorized capital stock to 500,000,000 shares consisting of 450,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share (the “Increase in Authorized Capitalization”); and to otherwise ensure that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation conform to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “Conforming Provisions”).

 

Name Change

 

          The Company is embarking on a new business plan and intends to acquire, by issuance of the Company’s stock, private Internet companies that are information and service providers currently operating as successful entities in a staged roll-up strategy. Such acquired companies will include e-commerce of any nature, distribution and licensing of software, web-based financial entities, data distribution systems, electronic brokerage and informational systems. It is the Company’s intent to seek entities with a history or high potential of revenues and profits and efficient, functioning management, and with the ability to utilize remote, monitorable and operational gauges and cost and compliance control functions and have minimum employee and labor requirements. Acquired entities will become wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, each of which will operate independently at the management level subject to budget control and mandated economic goals by the Company, with financing, accounting, benefits, budgeting and consolidation of administrative or repetitive functions shifted to the Company to gain efficiency. Management believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to effect the Name Change so as to more accurately reflect the nature of the Company’s business.

 

Certain Effects of the Name Change

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that all shareholders ARE NOT REQUIRED to return their certificates to have them re-issued by the Company’s Transfer Agent, which certificates will continue to represent fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The Name Change will not change any of the terms of our Common Stock and holders thereof will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and each shareholder's percentage ownership of Company will not be altered.

 

2

 

 


Upon the Effective Date of the Name Change, we anticipate that our Common Stock will continue to be traded on the “Pink Sheets,” and that the trading symbol will be changed from “LEFA” to a new trading symbol that will reflect the change of our corporate name. The Name Change and the anticipated change of our trading symbol will not have any affect on the transferability of outstanding stock certificates. Outstanding stock certificates bearing the name “Lee Fine Arts, Inc.” will continue to be valid and to represent shares of our Company. The Name Change will be reflected by book entry. Stockholders holding physical certificates should not destroy those certificates or surrender them to us for reissue; certificates bearing the name “Lee Fine Arts, Inc.” should be retained in a secure location, as they will continue to represent shares of our Company.

 

Increase in Authorized Capitalization

 

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation presently provide for authorized capitalization of 60,000,000 shares, consisting of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, having a par value of $.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, having a par value of $.001 per share. As of the date of this Information Statement the Company has 42,423,134 shares of its authorized Common Stock available for issuance and 10,000,000 shares of its authorized Preferred Stock available for issuance. The Board of Directors does not believe this is an adequate number of shares to assure that there will be sufficient shares available for issuance in connection with possible future financings, possible future acquisition transactions, possible future awards under employee benefit plans, stock dividends, stock splits and other corporate purposes. Therefore, the Board of Directors approved the Increase in Authorized Capitalization as a means of providing it with a reserve of shares to provide flexibility in the future to, among other things, act with respect to the issuance in private or public sales of equity securities or convertible securities as a means of raising working capital. or issue shares in connection with strategic alliances, or issue shares to effectuate mergers or acquisitions, or any other corporate purpose. Having such additional authorized Common and Preferred Stock available for issuance in the future would allow the Board of Directors to issue shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock in circumstances which the Boards believes will advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders without the delay of seeking an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation at that time and enable the Company to engage in financing transactions and/or strategic alliances and take advantage of changing market and financial conditions on a more timely basis as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

The Increase in Authorized Capitalization will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, under the laws of the State of Nevada, authorized, unissued and unreserved shares may be issued for such consideration (not less than par value) and for such purposes as the Board of Directors may determine without further action by the stockholders. The issuance of such additional shares may, under certain circumstances, result in the dilution of the equity or earnings per share of the existing stockholders.

 

The Board of Directors has no current plans to authorize the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or securities exercisable for, or convertible into, Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The approval of the Increase in Authorized Capitalization will give the Board of Directors more flexibility to pursue opportunities to engage in possible future financing transactions involving Common Stock or Preferred Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or Preferred Stock. However, at this time, no decision to proceed with any such transaction has been made and no determination as to the type or amount of securities that might be offered has been made, should a possible future transaction be pursued.

 

Certain Effects of the Increase in Authorized Capitalization

 

The Increase in Authorized Capitalization was not approved as a means of preventing or dissuading a change in control or a takeover of the Company. However, use of these shares for such a purpose is possible. For example, shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock could be issued in an effort to dilute the stock ownership and voting power of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company or could be issued to purchasers who would support the Board of Directors in opposing a takeover proposal. In addition, the

 

3

 

 


Increase in Authorized Capitalization may have the effect of discouraging a challenge for control or make it less likely that such a challenge, if attempted, would be successful. The Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company have no knowledge of any current effort to obtain control of the Company or to accumulate large amounts of Common Stock.

 

The holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock. Accordingly, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or such other securities might dilute the ownership and voting rights of stockholders. The Increase in Authorized Capitalization does not change the terms of the Common Stock as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. The additional shares of Common Stock authorized by the Increase in Authorized Capitalization will have the same voting rights, the same rights to dividends and distributions, and will be identical in all other respects to the shares of Common Stock now authorized. The terms of any shares of Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future would be determined by the Board of Directors.

 

Conforming Provisions

 

          The original Articles of Incorporation of the Company were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on December 8, 1998 and adopted by the incorporator under the “Nevada Domestic Corporation Law.” The laws of the State of Nevada which govern profit corporations now and for many years prior to 1998 has been Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the State of Nevada has never enacted a “Nevada Domestic Corporation Law.” Further, the Nevada legislature has enacted revisions to Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes since the incorporation of the Company.

 

          In order to ensure that the Company’s Articles of Incorporation conform to the provisions of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, management believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to fully restated its Articles of Incorporation to ensure that the provisions thereof conform in all respects to the Nevada Revised Statutes as presently in effect.

 

          FOR THE FOREGOING REASONS, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAVE RECOMMENDED THE APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.

 

MANNER OF EFFECTING RESTATEMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

 

The restatement of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company will be effected by the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Restated Articles will become effective on the date of filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation unless we specify otherwise (the "Effective Date").

 

Shareholders ARE NOT REQUIRED to return their certificates to have them re-issued by the Transfer Agent by reason of the restatement of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. All certificates heretofore issued will continue to represent fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The Amendments will not change any of the terms of our Common Stock and holders thereof will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and each shareholder's percentage ownership of Company will not be altered.

 

          A copy of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit “A.”

APPRAISAL RIGHTS AND VOTE REQUIRED

 

NO RIGHTS OF APPRAISAL

VOTE REQUIRED

 

The Restated Articles require the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at a shareholder meeting on the Record Date of August 1, 2008. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote. There were 6,937,000 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. On that date, shareholders representing 4,855,900 shares (70%) entitled to vote at a meeting, which is a majority of the shares outstanding, consented in writing to the adoption of the Restated Articles.

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

B.        The corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the corporation; but no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and

 

 

 


only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which such court deems proper.

 

C.        To the extent that a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subparagraph A or B of this Article 6, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

 

D.        Any indemnification under subparagraph A or B of this Article 6 (unless ordered by a court) and as distinguished from subparagraph C of this Article shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subparagraph A or B above. Such determination shall be made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or, if the Board of Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the shareholders.

 

E.        Expenses (including attorney fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized in subparagraph C or D of this Article 6 upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article 6.

 

F.         The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article 6.

 

7.         Provisions for the regulation of the internal affairs of the corporation are contained in the Bylaws of this corporation.

 

8.         The undersigned affirmatively declare that shareholders holding a majority of the voting power of the corporation have voted in favor of and adopted these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.
