|
A:
|
Stockholders Entitled to
Vote. Stockholders who our records show owned shares of
our Common Stock as of the close of business on May 12, 2009 (the “Record
Date”) may vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, we had a total
of 378,677,071 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which were
held of record by approximately 140 stockholders. Because some of our
Common Stock is held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of
stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders
represented by these record holders. The stock transfer books will not be
closed between the Record Date and the date of the meeting. As of the
Record Date, we had no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share
of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote.
Registered
Stockholders. If your shares are registered directly in
your name with our transfer agent, you are considered, with respect to
those shares, the stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are
being sent to you by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right
to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy
card or to vote in person at the Annual
Meeting.
Street
Name Stockholders. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage
account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial
owner of shares held in street name. These proxy materials are being
forwarded to you by your broker or nominee, who is considered, with
respect to those shares, the record holder. As the beneficial owner, you
have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote, and you are
also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the
record holder, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual
Meeting unless you follow your broker’s procedures for obtaining a legal
proxy. Your broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for
you to use.
|
A:
|
You
are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a holder of our
Common Stock as of the close of business on May 12, 2009 or hold a valid
proxy for the Annual Meeting. You should be prepared to present valid
government-issued photo identification for admittance. In addition, if you
are a stockholder of record, your ownership will be verified against the
list of stockholders of record on the Record Date prior to being admitted
to the meeting. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares
through a broker or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should
provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as your
most recent account statement prior to May 12, 2009, a copy of the voting
instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or nominee, or
other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not provide photo
identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon
request, you may not be admitted to the Annual
Meeting.
|
A:
|
Registered
Stockholders: Registered
stockholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by one of
the following methods:
|
|
By Mail. You
may vote by signing, dating and returning your voting instruction card in
the enclosed pre-addressed envelope;
or
|
|
By Methods Listed on Voting
Instruction Card. Please refer to your voting
instruction card or other information forwarded by your broker, bank
or other holder of record to determine whether you may vote by mail or
fax, and follow the instructions on the voting instruction card or other
information provided by the record holder; or
In Person With a Proxy from
the Record Holder. A street name stockholder who wishes
to vote at the Annual Meeting will need to obtain a legal proxy from his
or her bank or brokerage firm. Please consult the voting instruction card
sent to you by your bank or broker to determine how to obtain a legal
proxy in order to vote in person at the Annual
Meeting.
|
A:
|
When
proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented
by such proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the
instructions of the stockholder. However, if no specific instructions are
given, the shares will be voted in accordance with the above
recommendations of our Board of Directors. If any matters not described in
the Proxy Statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the
proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your
shares. If the Annual Meeting is adjourned, the proxy holders can vote
your shares on the new meeting date as well, unless you have revoked your
proxy instructions, as described below under “Can I change my
vote?”
|
A:
|
Stockholders
may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple
copies of these proxy materials and multiple proxy cards or voting
instruction cards. For example, stockholders who hold shares in more than
one brokerage account may receive a separate voting instruction card for
each brokerage account in which shares are held. Stockholders of record
whose shares are registered in more than one name will receive more than
one proxy card. You should sign and return all proxies and voting
instruction cards you receive relating to our Annual Meeting to ensure
that all of your shares are voted.
|
A:
|
You
may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting.
To revoke your proxy instructions and change your vote if you are a holder
of record, you must (i) attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in
person, (ii) advise Godfrey Hui, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, at
our principal executive office in writing before the proxy holders vote
your shares, or (iii) deliver dated and signed proxy instructions to such
effect.
|
Q:
|
What
happens if I decide to attend the Annual Meeting but I have already voted
or submitted a proxy covering my
shares?
|
A:
|
You
may attend the meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted
or submitted a proxy. Please be aware that attendance at the Annual
Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy. If a bank, broker or other
nominee holds your shares and you wish to attend the Annual Meeting and
vote in person, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the record holder of
the shares giving you the right to vote the
shares.
|
A:
|
The
Annual Meeting will be held if a majority of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock entitled to vote is represented in person or by proxy at the
meeting. If you have returned valid proxy instructions or attend the
Annual Meeting in person, your Common Stock will be counted for the
purpose of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you wish to
abstain from voting on some or all matters at the
meeting.
|
A:
|
Network
CN will pay the cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and
distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. We do not plan to
retain a solicitor to assist with the solicitation. We may, on request,
reimburse brokerage firms and other nominees for their expenses in
forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. In addition to soliciting
proxies by mail, we expect that our directors, officers and employees may
solicit proxies in person or by facsimile. None of these individuals will
receive any additional or special compensation for doing this, although we
will reimburse these individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses.
|
Q:
|
May
I propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting of
stockholders or nominate individuals to serve as
directors?
|
A:
|
You
may present proposals for action at a future meeting only if you comply
with the requirements of the proxy rules established by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and our bylaws. In order for a stockholder
proposal to be included in our Proxy Statement and form of Proxy relating
to the meeting for our 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders under rules set
forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Securities
Exchange Act”), the proposal must be received by us no later than 5:00
p.m. (Chinese Standard Time) no later than the 90th day, and not earlier
than the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the mailing of the
notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, stockholder
proposals intended to be presented in our proxy materials for the 2010
Annual Meeting must be received by Godfrey Hui, Chief Executive Officer,
on or after [
], 2010, and prior to 5:00 p.m. (Chinese Standard Time) on
[
], 2010 and must satisfy the requirements of the proxy rules
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our bylaws require
that certain information and acknowledgments with respect to the proposal
and the stockholder making the proposal be set forth in the notice. A copy
of the relevant bylaw provision is available upon written request to
Network CN Inc. at Chief Executive Officer at 21st
Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
You can also access our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form
10-K, on our website at www.ncnmedia.com.
The information on our website is not a part of this Proxy
Statement.
|
A:
|
If
you share an address with another stockholder, have the same last name,
and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials, you will
receive only one set of proxy materials (including our Annual Report on
Form 10-K and Proxy Statement). If you wish to receive a separate Proxy
Statement at this time, please request the additional copy by contacting
our transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer by telephone at 480-481-3940,
or by facsimile at 480-481-3941.
|
A:
|
You
may contact our transfer agent, Holladay Stock Transfer, by telephone at
480-481-3940, or by facsimile at 480-481-3941, if you have lost your stock
certificate or need to change your mailing
address.
