Events.
Commencing January 13, 2009, Geneva
Acquisition Corporation (“GAC”) intends to hold presentations for its
stockholders regarding its proposed acquisition of Global Hi-Tech Industries
Limited, an Indian company (“GHIL”), as described in the Current
Report on Form 8-K, dated November 28, 2008, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 2, 2008. The presentation is attached as Exhibit
99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
Lazard Capital Markets, the managing
underwriter of GAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”) consummated in February
2007, will receive approximately $2,070,000, the deferred portion of its
underwriting discount from the IPO, upon consummation of the acquisition of
GHIL. GAC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be
participants in the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting of GAC’s
stockholders to be held to approve the proposed transaction. GAC’s officers and
directors are also stockholders of GAC and have waived their rights to any
liquidation distribution GAC makes with respect to shares they acquired before
the IPO. Therefore, their securities will be worthless if GAC does not acquire a
target business within two years of the IPO date, as required by its Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended. Interested persons can also read GAC’s preliminary
proxy statement filed on Schedule 14A with the SEC on December 31, 2008 and its
definitive proxy statement, when it becomes available, as well as GAC’s final
IPO prospectus, dated February 12, 2007, as well as periodic reports GAC filed
with the SEC, for more information about GAC, its officers and directors, and
their individual and group security ownership in GAC, and interests in the
successful consummation of the acquisition of GHIL.
GAC’s stockholders and other interested
persons are advised to read GAC’s preliminary proxy statement filed on Schedule
14A with the SEC on December 31, 2008 and its definitive proxy statement, when
it becomes available, in connection with GAC’s solicitation of proxies for the
special meeting to approve the acquisition because these documents will contain
important information. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to
stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the
acquisition. The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to stockholders as of
a record date to be established for voting on this transaction. Stockholders
will also be able to obtain a copy of the definitive proxy statement, the final
prospectus, other documents relating to the acquisition of GHIL and periodic
reports filed with the SEC, without charge, by visiting the SEC’s Internet site
at (http://www.sec.gov). Once available, GAC will also provide copies of its
definitive proxy materials to its stockholders upon request of such stockholders
to GAC.
