("SPTK") for the use at a Special Meeting of Shareholders of SPTK TO be held at 9:30 a.m., on _________, ____________________, 1995, at ___________________________________, located at _____________________________, Los Angeles, California. The purposes of the Special Meeting are to approve management's proposal to change the name of SPTK to All-Comm Media Corporation and to authorize, among other things, the amendment of the company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and such other documentation as may be required to effectuate this name change. The Notice, this Proxy Statement, and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed beginning __________, 1995 to shareholders of record of SPTK's common stock ("Common Stock") at the close of business on ______________, 1995. Each share entitles the registered holder to one vote. As of ________________, 1995, there were 11,770,036 shares of Common Stock outstanding. All shares represented by proxies will be voted by the individuals designated on the enclosed proxy card, all of whom are members of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the shareholders' directions. If the proxy card is signed and returned without specific directions with respect to the matters to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors described below. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before such proxy is voted at the Special Meeting by giving written notice of revocation to the company's secretary, by submitting a later dated proxy, or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. The Chairman of the Board will announce the closing of the polls during the Special Meeting. All proxies must be received prior to the closing of the polls in order to be counted. A shareholder may designate a person or persons to act as the shareholder's proxy other than those persons designated on the proxy card. The shareholder may do so by checking the appropriate box appearing on the enclosed proxy card, inserting the name or names of another person or persons, and delivering the signed card to such person or persons. The person(s) -1- 4 designated by the shareholder must present the signed proxy card at the Special Meeting in order for the shares to be voted. Officers, agents, and employees of the company and other solicitors retained by the company may, by letter, by telephone, or in person, make requests for the return of proxies and may receive proxies on behalf of the company. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries, and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares and will be reimbursed for their expenses. All costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by the company. Shareholders representing a majority of the Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote must be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum to conduct business at the Special Meeting. A list of eligible voters will be available at the Special Meeting. The following proposal is to be submitted to the shareholders at the Special Meeting: Approval of a management proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the company to All-Comm Media Corporation. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE SIGN, DATE, AND RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD PROMPTLY SO THAT A QUORUM MAY BE REPRESENTED AT THE SPECIAL MEETING. VOTING Each share of Common Stock represented at the Special Meeting is entitled to one vote on the sole matter brought before the Special Meeting. Except as otherwise noted below, the matter submitted at the Special Meeting shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast. Shares represented by proxies that are marked "abstain" with respect to the name change proposal and proxies that are marked to deny discretionary authority on such matter will not be counted in determining whether a majority vote was obtained on such matter. If no directions are given and the signed proxy card is returned, the members of the Board of Directors will vote the shares represented by such proxy in accordance with the Directors' recommendation on the name change proposal reflected on the proxy card, and at their discretion on any other matter that may properly come before the Special Meeting. In circumstances where brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority for beneficial owners who have not returned proxies to the brokers (so-called "broker non-votes"), those shares will not be included in the vote totals and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote. As described below, the Board of Directors is submitting to the Shareholders at the Special Meeting the proposal to amend the company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the company name to All-Comm Media Corporation, and to take all such further action as may be required to effectuate the name change. Under Nevada law, in order for a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to pass, a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the proposal must approve the amendment. In this instance, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. -2- 5 DIRECTORS' PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE CHANGE IN THE COMPANY'S NAME The Board of Directors proposes and recommends to the shareholders for their approval of an amendment to the company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the company by amending Article I to read: "The name of the corporation is All-Comm Media Corporation." The shareholders' approval of the corporate name change includes granting the officers of the company, and each of them acting alone, the authority to take all such further actions as may be required to effectuate the name change, including, but not limited to, the filing of a formal Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation on behalf of the company with the Nevada Secretary of State's Office. SPORTS-TECH, INC. has been the name of the company since 1989. The company was originally incorporated in 1919 under the name Bristol Silver Mines Company and since that time has operated under one other different name before SPORTS-TECH. The SPORTS-TECH name previously reflected the company's former principal activity, the sale of certain video training equipment to professional teams and university athletic departments. In early 1995, the company completed the sale of those operations, and in April 1995, the company merged with Alliance Media Corporation and simultaneously acquired Stephen Dunn & Associates, Inc. ("Stephen Dunn"). The company's principal activities and focus are now aimed at acquiring and developing through Stephen Dunn and future acquisitions a diversified telemarketing, direct marketing, and media services company. To reflect the company's change in direction and to provide for better recognition of the company, your Board of Directors recommends the adoption of All-Comm Media Corporation as the company's new name. The new name already enjoys some recognition since it has been used as a fictitious business name after the merger/acquisition became effective. Our new stock exchange ticker symbol will be "ALCM." YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL TO AMEND ARTICLE I OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO READ: "THE NAME OF THE CORPORATION IS ALL-COMM MEDIA CORPORATION." OTHER BUSINESS The Board of Directors is not aware of any matters which will be presented at the Special Meeting for action on the part of shareholders other than the proposed company name change.
