As of the record date, there were outstanding 22,107,520 shares of common stock.

The accompanying proxy is being solicited by the Board for use at the special meeting that is the subject of this proxy statement and any adjournments thereof.

 

HOW ARE VOTES BEING SOLICITED?

 

In addition to solicitation of proxies by mail, certain directors, officers, representatives and employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone and personal interview.  Such individuals will not receive additional compensation from the Company for solicitation of proxies, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation.  Banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries also will be reimbursed by the Company for their reasonable expenses for sending proxy solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Company common stock.

  

WHO IS PAYING THE SOLICITATION COST?

 

The expense of preparing, printing and mailing proxy solicitation materials will be borne by Wyndstorm. We estimate that the cost of this proxy solicitation will be $30,000.

 

HOW MANY VOTES DO I HAVE?

 

Each share of the Company’s common stock is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be voted on at the special meeting.

 

HOW DO I VOTE?

 

You may vote by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope or attending the special meeting in person.

 

CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE?


Any shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by (1) notifying us in writing of such revocation, (2) submitting a later dated proxy card or (3) attending the special meeting in person and voting in person.  Notices to us should be directed to Martin Smiley, Special Counsel to PacketPort.com, Inc. at 587 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06854.  Shareholders who submit proxies and attend the special meeting to vote in person are requested to notify Mr. Smiley at the special meeting of their intention to vote in person at the special meeting.

 

HOW MANY VOTES IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL ARE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE WYNDSTORM ACQUISITION?

 

Approval of the Wyndstorm Acquisition will require the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of our common stock voting, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting. Please also note that each of the proposals is conditioned upon the approval of the other proposals.  Thus, every proposal must be approved before any of the proposals become effective.  

 

6



HOW MANY VOTES IN FAVOR OF THE FOUR ADDITIONAL PROPOASLS ARE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL?

 

Approval of the four additional proposals will require the affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of our common stock voting, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting. Please also note that each of the proposals is conditioned upon the approval of the other proposals.  Thus, every proposal must be approved before any of the proposals become effective.  

 

HOW ARE ABSTENTIONS COUNTED?

 

Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “Against” the proposal.

 

HOW MANY VOTES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE SPECIAL MEETING?

 

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company common stock is required for a quorum to approve the Merger, the Share Issuances, the Reverse Split, the appointment of the four (4) new directors and the approval of the auditors.  Beneficial shareholders owning on the Record Date approximately 27% of our outstanding common shares have indicated that they intend to vote for our acquisition of Wyndstorm.  This means, however, that if we do not, for whatever reason, receive shareholder approval to all five of the matters discussed in this Proxy Statement, Wyndstorm may terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger.  If the Wyndstorm Acquisition is terminated, the Company will have to seek a different business opportunity, possibly raise funds to sustain its limited operations, in which case, the Company’s financial condition and plan of operations may suffer a material adverse effect.


WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MY SHARES IF THE WYNDSTORM ACQUISITION AND REVERSE SPLIT ARE APPROVED?


Shareholders will not realize any dilution in their percentage of ownership of the Company or in their voting rights as a result of shareholder approval to reverse split the common stock of the Company by twenty to one (20 to 1).  A shareholder who owns 1% of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split will continue to own 1% of the Company’s common stock immediately after the Reverse Split.  The Reverse Split will result in the shareholders of the Company receiving one new share of the Company’s
