STOCKHOLDER ACTION
Introduction
Effective August 25, 2003, our Board of Directors unanimously approved a resolution to amend our Certificate of Incorporation that would change our name from "StarCom Wireless Networks, Inc." to "Skylynx Communications, Inc." (the "Name Change Amendment") and submitted such matter for stockholder approval. Effective August 25, 2003, stockholders holding approximately 63.8% of our outstanding voting stock, acting by majority written consent approved and ratified the Name Change Amendment.
Purpose of the Name Change
The Name Change has been approved to differentiate us from StarCom Wireless, Inc., a company with which we recently terminated a non-binding letter of intent. The name "Skylynx Communications, Inc." is a name that we believe is identifiable with our mission of developing an advanced wireless network.
Effects of the Name Change
Changing our name will not have any effect on our corporate status, the rights of stockholders or the transferability of outstanding stock certificates. Outstanding stock certificates bearing the name "StarCom Wireless Networks, Inc." will continue to be valid and represent shares of Skylynx Communications, Inc. following the name change. In the future, new stock certificates will be issued bearing our new name, but this will in no way affect the validity of your current stock certificates. Once our name change has become effective, our stock will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol ____.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock is required to change our name from "StarCom Wireless Networks, Inc." to "Skylynx Communications, Inc.," which vote was obtained by a majority written consent effective August 25, 2003.
Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal
The Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide for appraisal rights in connection with our name change.
