Sales OnLine Direct to Change Name to Paid, Inc. And Require
Mandatory Exchange of Certificates WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 24
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sales OnLine Direct, Inc. (BULLETIN
BOARD: PAID) , today announced that it will change its name to
Paid, Inc. effective December 8, 2003. The Company's shareholders
overwhelmingly approved the name change. As part of the name
change, all stock certificates representing shares of common stock
of the Company must be exchanged for new certificates. The
Company's stock will be given a new CUSIP number though the CUSIP
Service Bureau, and a new trading symbol will be assigned. The
exchange of certificates will be mandatory for all holders. The
Company's transfer agent will notify stockholders and brokers
regarding the new CUSIP number and trading symbol and procedures
for exchanging the certificates. Stockholders who hold stock
certificates will be required to exchange their certificates.
Stockholders who hold their shares in street name with a broker
will not be required to take any action, unless their broker tells
them otherwise. Instead, the brokers will exchange the
certificates. The transfer agent will deliver new certificates back
to the stockholders and brokers promptly. "We intend to use the new
name to better brand our Company and services, including the
Company's online auction and e-commerce management tools," stated
Richard Rotman, Sales OnLine Direct CFO. In addition to the name
change, the Company has amended its bylaws to require that stock
certificates include the name of the beneficial owner. "We believe
that this new bylaws requirement will help the Company communicate
more efficiently and cost effectively with its stockholders," says
Greg Rotman, Sales OnLine Direct CEO. About Sales OnLine Direct and
