BOULDER CAPITAL OPPORTUNITIES, INC. 192 Searidge Court Shell Beach, CA 93449 Information Statement Pursuant To Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14f-1 Thereunder ******* INTRODUCTION This Information Statement is being mailed on or before June 25, 1999, to holders of record on June 18, 1999, of shares of Common Stock ("Common Stock") of Boulder Capital Opportunities, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company") in connection with an anticipated change in all members of the Company's Board of Directors. The information contained in this Information Statement regarding the persons designated to become directors of the Company has been furnished to the Company by third parties and the Company assumes no responsibility for its accuracy or completeness. The Company was formed as a "blind pool" or "blank check" company, whose business plan was to seek to acquire a business opportunity through completion of a merger, exchange of stock, or other similar type of transaction. The Company has now identified a business opportunity it wishes to acquire and is prepared to proceed with implementation of its business plan through completion of the proposed acquisition. This Information Statement is being delivered to provide information regarding anticipated changes in the membership of the Board of Directors of the Company as a result of completion of the proposed business acquisition, and is provided for information purposes only. You are urged to read this Information Statement carefully. However, no action on your part is sought or required. On June 25, 1999, the Company and certain of its shareholders, including its principal shareholders, entered into a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement") with Stan Lee Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SLMI") and Robert Bryan ("RGB"), pursuant to which (i) the Company shall complete a 2.5:1 forward split of its currently issued and outstanding common stock, thereby increasing the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 1,010,000 to 2,525,000; (ii) the Company shall issue 8,500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of SLMI; (iii) certain designated persons shall purchase 1,713,450 shares of the Company's common stock from current holders thereof; (iv) Zacco Equities, Ltd. shall purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock from current holders thereof; and (v) RGB and/or assigns shall purchase 165,375 shares of the Company's common stock from current holders thereof. Following completion of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement, SLMI will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and will have a total of 11,025,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Current shareholders of the Company will own 496,175 shares, or approximately 4.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock, and there will be a change in control of the Company. The current shareholders of SLMI and/or their assigns will own 8,500,000 shares, or approximately 77.1% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, and accordingly will be in a position of control. In addition, non-affiliated persons of the Company and SLMI who are Purchasers under the Stock Purchase Agreement will own a total of 1,713,415 shares, or approximately 16.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. In conjunction with completion of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, the Company will seek consent from all shareholders to an amendment of its articles of incorporation changing its name to Stan Lee Media, Inc. In addition, the current directors and officers of the Company will resign, the out-going directors will appoint successors designated by SLMI, and the new directors will appoint new executive officers. Following completion of the transaction contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement, SLMI will continue to conduct its existing business activities as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. These activities include deploying the global brand, intellectual property development capabilities and goodwill of comic book publisher Stan Lee to the Internet, as well as other new media and traditional media platforms. SLMI intends to engage in e-commerce through product and merchandise sales, on-line publishing, gaming, distance learning, financial services, sponsorships, co-branding, advertising, product placement and endorsements. It is the intention of the parties to complete closing under the Reorganization Agreement as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than July 14, 1999. However, the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and the Stock Purchase Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. One such condition is compliance with all applicable securities laws and with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, Rule 14f-1 which requires the Company to provide not less than 10 days prior written notice to its shareholders of the anticipated change in identity of the members of its Board of Directors. There is no assurance that the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement will be completed because there is no assurance that the parties will satisfy all of the conditions for closing in a timely manner.
