Hank -
Some pertinent information, from the most recent SEC filing:
:
Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders (the
"Meeting") of Paracelsian, Inc. (the "Corporation") will be held at 1:00 p.m.,
local time, on Wednesday, May 13, 1998, at the New York Service Center for
Chinese Study Fellows, Inc., 88 9th Avenue, New York, New York, or at any
adjournment thereof, for the following purposes:
1. To elect eight directors, with three to be elected to serve a one
year term until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 1999, three to be elected
to serve a two year term until the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2000, and
two to be elected to serve a three year term until the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders in the year 2001, or until their successors have been elected and
qualified.
2. To approve an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the
Corporation increasing the authorized number of shares of common stock from
20,000,000 to 35,000,000.
3. To transact such other businesses as may properly come before the
meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof.
Only shareholders of record of the common stock of the Corporation at
the close of business on April 3, 1998 are entitled to notice of, and to vote,
at the meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof. The Corporation's
stock transfer books will not be closed. At least ten days prior to the Meeting,
a complete list of the shareholders entitled to vote will be available for
inspection by any shareholder, for any purpose germane to the Meeting, during
ordinary business hours, at the Office of the Corporation listed above. If you
do not expect to be present, please fill in, date and sign the enclosed Proxy,
which is solicited by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and mail it
promptly in the enclosed envelope. In the event you decide to attend the Meeting
in person, you may, if you desire, revoke the Proxy and vote your shares in
person.
Since it is no longer possible to ba a shareholder of record as of April 3, 1998, you are not "entitled" to be invited, or to vote. But that is NOT so say, however, that you would not be most welcome!
I plan to be there; it would be great to see you again. For you, New York City is much more convenient than Ithaca, isn't it? And more convenient for Harold. But considerably less convenient for me, and vastly less convenient for Robin!
I think it can only help the new Directors and Managers to know that they have active and interested stockholders.
Perhaps the Thread - like the Company - will rise from the ashes as a magnificent Phoenix. If only we could be given something of substance to discuss . . ..
