PROXY STATEMENT

 

2005 SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

OF DREAMS, INC.

 

April 5, 2005

 

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

 

Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting. This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Dreams, Inc., a Utah corporation for use at the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held at our offices located at Two South University Drive, Suite 325, Plantation, Florida 33324, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on Tuesday, April 5, 2005, and at any adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to our shareholders on or about March 25, 2005. All costs of soliciting proxies will be borne by us.

 

Matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. The purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider and vote upon one proposal: the amendment of our Revised Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock.

 

Proxy Card. A Proxy Card is enclosed for use at the Special Meeting. Proxies that are properly completed, signed and received prior to the Special Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the persons executing the same. Unless instructed to the contrary, the proxies will be voted FOR Proposal One as set forth in the Notice of the Special Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented to the Special Meeting for action, it is intended that the person named in the enclosed Proxy Card and acting thereunder will vote in accordance with his best judgment on such matters. A proxy may be revoked by a shareholder at any time before the effective exercise thereof by submitting a subsequently dated proxy or by appearing in person and voting at the Special Meeting.

 

Record Dates. With respect to all proposals, the close of business on February 4, 2005 has been fixed as the record date (“Record Date”) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. As of the Record Date, there were 56,363,195 shares issued and outstanding all of which are entitled to vote.

 

Quorum. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock on the Record Date, is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards a quorum. If a quorum is not present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting, the shareholders present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting have the power to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time, without notice other then an announcement at the Special Meeting, until a quorum is present or represented by proxy. At any such adjourned Special Meeting at which a quorum is present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original Special Meeting.

 

Voting Procedures and Requirements. The approval of the proposed amendments to the Revised

 


Articles of Incorporation will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding. Therefore, abstentions or the failure to vote on any of the proposals will have the same effect as votes cast against approval of such proposal.

 

Your broker and, in many cases, your nominee may not have discretionary power to vote on all matters. Accordingly, you should instruct your broker or nominee how to vote. A broker non-vote occurs if a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a particular item. A broker non-vote will have the same effect as a vote against all of the proposals.

 

Default Voting. All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies have been previously revoked, will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the directions set forth on such proxies. If no direction is indicated, the shares will be voted FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO OUR REVISED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK. If any other business comes before the shareholders for a vote at the meeting, the shares will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the holders of the proxy.

 

Tabulation of Votes. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections (the “Inspector”) appointed for the Special Meeting who will, for each proposal to be voted on, determine the number of shares outstanding, the number of shares entitled to vote, the number of shares represented at the Special Meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and effect of all proxies received by us. The Inspector will also separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes and broker “non-votes”, and determine the result for each proposal.

 

Revocation of Proxy. The enclosed proxy, even though executed and returned, may be revoked at any time prior to the voting of the proxy by (a) the execution and submission of a revised proxy, (b) written notice to our Secretary or (c) voting in person at the Special Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE

 

AMENDMENT OF OUR REVISED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES

 

Our Board of Directors has adopted an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of capital stock we are authorized to issue from 100,000,000 shares of common stock, to 510,000,000 (500,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock). The purpose of the amendment is to (i) allow us to have a sufficient number of shares of authorized and unissued shares which can be issued in connection with our proposed rights offering (described below) and (ii) allow us to have a sufficient number of shares of authorized and unissued shares which can be issued in connection with such corporate purposes as may, from time to time, be considered advisable by our Board of Directors. Having such shares available for issuance in the future will give us greater flexibility and will allow such shares to be issued as determined by our Board of Directors without the expense and delay of a special shareholders’ meeting to approve such additional authorized capital stock. Such corporate purposes may include, without limitation, the issuance of shares in connection with equity financings, acquisitions and protection against unsolicited takeover attempts. However, when designating and issuing the preferred stock, the board of directors may issue shares with voting, conversion or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and rights of the common shareholders. Additionally, if we issue the preferred stock, the market price of common stock may decrease, and voting and other rights may decrease. Other than with respect to our proposed rights offering, we have no present plans for the issuance of any common or preferred stock in connection with any financings or acquisitions.

 

Other than with respect to our proposed rights offering, the increase in authorized shares will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, our Board of Directors will have the authority to issue authorized shares without requiring future shareholder approval of such issuances, except as may be required by our Revised Articles of Incorporation and applicable law and regulations. To the extent that the additional authorized shares are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing shareholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price at which they are issued as compared to the price paid by existing shareholders for their shares, could be dilutive to the Company’s existing shareholders. The holders of common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of common stock that may be issued in the future.

 

The increase in the authorized number of shares and the subsequent issuance of such shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing any change in control of the company without further action by the shareholders. Authorized and unissued shares could (within the limits imposed by applicable law) be issued in one or more transactions that would make any change in control of the company more difficult, and therefore less likely. Any such issuance of additional stock could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares, and such additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us. Our Board of Directors are not aware of any attempt to take control of us and have not presented this proposal with the intention that the increase in the authorized shares of common stock be used as a type of antitakeover device.

 

Proposed Rights Offering

 

Upon, and subject to, the approval of the amendment to our Revised Articles of Incorporation, we intend to commence a rights offering pursuant to which we plan to distribute to each shareholder, at no charge, one non-transferable subscription right for each share of our common stock that such shareholder

 

-4-


owned as a holder of record on February 25, 2005 (the “Rights Offering Record Date”) for the rights offering. Each subscription right entitles a shareholder to purchase two (2) shares of our common stock for each share of our common stock that such shareholder owned on the Rights Offering Record Date for $0.03 per share ($0.06 per two shares). Shareholders who exercise all of their subscription rights prior to the expiration date of the rights offering, will also have the right to subscribe for additional shares of our common stock at the same subscription price per share, to the extent that other shareholders do not exercise their subscription rights in full, prior to the expiration date. Shareholders will receive rights to purchase shares in, and upon exercise of those rights will receive common shares of, Dreams, Inc. To the extent all shares offered in the rights offering are not subscribed for in full, we will offer those shares to certain of our existing shareholders and outside investors at the subscription price.

 

Our primary purpose for engaging in the rights offering is to assist us in raising capital in a cost-effective manner in order to satisfy (i) $1.0 million in partial repayment of indebtedness to Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services, or MLBFS, the lender under our expired line of credit facility, pursuant to a forbearance agreement and (ii) $1.0 million in full repayment of indebtedness to the brother of our president and chief executive officer. After application of the proceeds from the rights offering, approximately $4.3 million of indebtedness will remain outstanding under our expired line of credit facility.

 

If the amendment to the Revised Articles of Amendment increasing the authorized shares of our common stock is not approved, we will not have enough authorized shares available to engage in the rights offering. If we do not engage in the rights offering, we may not be able to obtain the additional financing necessary to repay our indebtedness. Should we not be successful in obtaining additional financing, it could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Pursuant to the terms of our amended forbearance agreement with MLBFS, if we fail to repay $1.0 million of indebtedness by April 15, 2005, or all of our obligations are not satisfied in full by April 29, 2005 (including repayment of approximately $4.3 million of outstanding indebtedness after the application of the proceeds from the rights offering), then MLBFS may, among other things, seize and sell all of our assets or appoint a receiver for our operations.

 

The proposed amendment to our Revised Articles of Incorporation is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

 

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote “For” the proposal to amend our Revised Articles of Incorporation to (i) increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and (ii) create 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock.

 

-5-


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, in the proposed amendment to our Revised Articles of Incorporation, which is not shared by all other shareholders.

 

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING

 

In the event that there are not sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals, at the time of the Special Meeting, the proposals could not be approved unless it was adjourned in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies from holders of our common stock. Proxies that are being solicited by our board of directors grant discretionary authority to vote for an adjournment if necessary. If it is necessary to adjourn the Special Meeting, and the adjournment is for a period of less than 45 days, no notice of the time and place of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to the shareholders other than an announcement of such time and place at the Special Meeting. A majority of the shares represented and voting at the Special Meeting is required to approve the adjournment, regardless of whether there is a quorum present at the Special Meeting.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

We know of no other matters to be submitted at the Special Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of Proxy to vote the shares they represent as the board of directors may recommend.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

We request brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this Proxy Statement to the beneficial owners of our common stock. Additional copies of this Proxy Statement may be obtained at no charge from our transfer agent Fidelity Transfer Company, located at 1800 S. West Temple, Suite 301, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115.
