WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. E-Bait, Inc. 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 500 Las Vegas, NV 89109 Phone: (702) 990-3623 Fax: (702) 990-3624 INFORMATION STATEMENT AND NOTICE OF ACTIONS TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE MAJORITY STOCKHOLDERS General Information ------------------- This information is being provided to the shareholders of E-Bait, Inc. (the "Company"), in connection with our prior receipt of approval by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting, of the holders of a majority of our common stock authorizing an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (1) effecting a change of the Company name to Barrington Foods International, Inc. (the "Name Change"); (2) changing the domicile of the corporation from California to Nevada; (3) increase the total authorized capital stock of the corporation to 100,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock; 1,000,000 Series A Preferred; 1,000,000 Series B Preferred; and, 1,000,000 Series C Preferred (the "authorized shares"); and, (4) effecting a ten for one reverse stock split (the "Stock Split"). The shareholders holding shares representing 90.0% of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of the Company's shareholders, consented in writing to the proposed actions. The approval by the shareholders will not become effective until 20 days from the date of mailing of this Information Statement to our shareholders. The Company's Board of Directors approved this action on December 3, 2001, and recommended that the Articles of Incorporation be amended in order to effectuate the name change, increase in common share capital, and reverse the outstanding Common Stock.. The Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the company is included as an exhibit. The elimination of the need for a special meeting of the shareholders to approve the Amendment is authorized by Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, (the "Nevada Law"). This Section provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less that the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on a matter were present and voted, may be substituted for the special meeting. According to this Section 78.390 of the Nevada Law, a majority of the outstanding shares of voting capital stock entitled to vote on the matter is required in order to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation. 2

In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting and in order to effect the Amendment as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize the written consent of the majority shareholders of the Company. The date on which this Information Statement was first sent to the shareholders is on, or about January 2, 2002. The record date established by the Company for purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Voting Capital Stock of the Company was December 3, 2001, (the "Record Date"). Outstanding Voting Stock of the Company --------------------------------------- As of the Record Date, there were 48,800,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Common Stock constitutes the outstanding class of voting securities of the Company. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one (1) vote on all matters submitted to the shareholders.

Purpose and Effect of the Name Change ------------------------------------- Our board of directors believes that the new corporate name change to Barrington Foods International, Inc. will reflect our change in business direction. The new corporate name will promote public recognition and more accurately reflect our new business focus. (See Exhibit "A") Purpose and Effect to domicile the Company in Nevada ---------------------------------------------------- The proposed change to domicile the Company from California to Nevada is based on the fact that management plans to work from office space leased in Nevada. The Company plans to conduct all of its operations from Nevada, and therefore, feels that Nevada law would reflect all of its future contract negotiations. (See Exhibit "B") Purpose and Effect on increase number of authorized shares ---------------------------------------------------------- The board of directors believes by increasing the number of authorized shares it will give the company added flexibility to enhance its capitalization. In making this decision, the board of directors was principally influenced by the need that at sometime in the future, the Company may need to seek additional equity capital in order to expand its operations. The additional number of authorized shares will give the Company added flexibility to utilize these common shares to help it finance and capitalize the Company. Given these considerations, the board of directors has decided that its would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the Company to increase: a) its $0.001 par value, authorized common shares to one hundred million (100,000,000) Shares of Class A Common Stock; b) its $0.001 par value, authorized Series A Preferred Shares to one million (1,000,000) shares. Each Series A Preferred Share shall have voting rights and shall carry a voting weight equal to one hundred (100) Common Shares. Each Series A Preferred Share may be converted into one hundred (100) Common Shares upon approval by the Board of Directors of the corporation. c) its $0.001 par value, authorized Series B Preferred Shares to one one million (1,000,000) shares. Each Series B Preferred Share may be converted into two (2) Common Shares upon approval by the Board of Directors. d) its $0.001 par value, authorized Series C Preferred Shares to one one million (1,000,000) shares. No Series C Preferred Share shall have voting rights. (See Exhibit "A") 4
DEF 14C5th Page of 9TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
Purpose and Effect of Reverse Stock Split ----------------------------------------- Our board of directors believes the ten for one reverse stock split is necessary to increase the effective marketability of common stock to institutional buyers and to enhance the liquidity of the common stock so that the Company can better access capital markets. This reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 48,800,000 to 4,880,000 common shares. Stockholders will be required to exchange their stock certificates for new certificates representing the shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split with the Company's transfer agent. Stockholders will not be required to pay a transfer or other fee in connection with the exchange of certificates. (See Exhibit "A") There can be no assurance, nor can the Board of Directors of the Company predict what effect, if any, these change, include the reverse stock split will have on the market price of the Company's common stock. No Dissenter's Rights --------------------- Under Nevada Law, our dissenting shareholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to our amendment, and we will not independently provide our shareholders with any such right. Conclusion ---------- As a matter of regulatory compliance, we are sending you this Information Statement which describes the purpose and effect of the Amendment. Your consent to the Amendment is not required and is not being solicited in connection with this action. This Information Statement is intended to provide our stockholders information required by the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. THE ATTACHED MATERIAL IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
