Re: Notice of Amended Warrant Terms
Dear Shareholder:
By now, you should have received the formal announcement from Soligen's counsel
that the S-3 registration statement of the shares and warrants that you
purchased in one of our private placements became effective on April 14, 1997.
The registration process was a frustrating one. It took longer than what we all
anticipated, and we appreciate your patience and continued, long-term support.
In order to raise needed additional capital, we are offering you, for a limited
time period, as a member of the group of individuals who participated in
Soligen's prior private placements and own warrants of classes A through G, the
opportunity to exercise your existing warrants at a reduced exercise price, or
to exchange such warrants for shares of common stock. Before explaining these
terms, let me update you on the exciting progress that Soligen has made over the
last year, and how we intend to use the additional funds from the exercise of
the warrants.
Soligen's strategic focus has been on three specific areas: enhancing the
Company's depth of management to create the infrastructure to accommodate
significant growth; implementing the second stage of Soligen's Parts Now
strategy by combining our DSPC technology with conventional casting and CNC
machining practices; and increasing the penetration into our target markets. We
have laid important ground work, made significant achievements in all three
areas, and simultaneously reduced our operating losses to a minimum.
A strong endorsement of our abilities lies in the steady increase in our repeat
business. In fact, I don't know of any other company our size or at our stage
who does repeat business with major corporations such as: GM, Ford, Chrysler,
Opel, Honda, Toyota, Harley-Davidson, Mercury Marine, Caterpillar, Deere,
Navistar, Allied Signal, ITT, Disney, Qualcomm, JBL, Allison, Sulzer,
Ingersoll-Rand, and many more. Soligen's team has done a terrific job of
successfully quadrupling production with substantially the same work-force,
while maintaining the same 8 to 12 business days turn-around time on new orders.
- 1 -
In January 1997, we completed the first step in launching the first DSPC center
in Europe. The agreement with CTTM in Le Mans, France, has enabled us to install
a DSPC 300 machine in Europe and launch a start-up program which is sponsored by
some of the biggest and best companies in France, including Peugeot, Renault,
Snecma, Aerospaciale, and Thomson CSF. We have shown that we can plan and
execute expansion into international markets without spending our own resources,
while at the same time generating income to Soligen. It is an important first
step toward establishing our European network, and it will give us an
opportunity to learn how to build sound working relationships in the European
Community with leading automotive, aerospace, and high-tech companies.
I hope this update provides you with a glimpse of what we have accomplished in
the past year. It has been an extraordinary challenge, however, we have
established a foundation for a prosperous and revolutionary company. I have
always believed that by taking a long-term approach we, the long-term
shareholders, will be better off.
Although the Company has made significant progress, we require additional
capital to take full advantage of the growing demand for our products and
services, and to advance the Company to the next stage. Specifically, we need to
expend capital on additional infrastructure, including building more DSPC
machines, CAD stations, personnel, office and manufacturing space expansion,
marketing and working capital. I see the potential to raise this capital by
exercising the warrants early, so therefore, Soligen hereby offers you the
following opportunity:
Through June 30, 1997, you will have the option to exercise your warrants at a
reduced exercise price of $0.50 per share. However, warrant holders who agree to
voluntarily restrict the marketability of their exercised shares for six (6)
months will have the right to exercise their warrants for $0.45 per share. In
either case, these shares are registered for resale under the S-3 registration
statement. A supplement to the prospectus previously mailed to you for sales
under the S-3 is enclosed.
For those warrant holders unable to participate in the exercise option, we have
structured a second alternative. In order to reduce the number of outstanding
warrants, the Company has decided to give warrant holders the option through
June 30, 1997 to exchange their warrants for shares. The exchange rate of the
warrants of different classes was calculated considering the exercise price and
the expiration date.
The exact terms of the exercise offer and the exchange offer are contained in
the Schedule 13E-4 which the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein. Also
enclosed is a Letter of Transmittal to be used to exercise or exchange your
warrants.
From my discussions with many of the private placement investors, I find that
the majority of them are long-term and strong supporters of Soligen, its team,
and the Parts Now concept. We, the Soligen family, view you as one of us and
appreciate your continued support. I believe we have established a foundation
for a prosperous and
- 2 -
revolutionary company. Please cast your vote of confidence by providing Soligen
the additional capital needed to advance the Company to the next stage. Please
call me if you have any questions about this offer or the Company.
Sincerely,
Yehoram Uziel
President & CEO
