INTRODUCTION
Integrated
Media Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Integrated Media”), has entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TeleChem International, Inc.
(“TeleChem”), a Delaware corporation that provides for the merger of TCI
Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
Integrated Media, with and into TeleChem (the “Merger”). The first
step of the two step acquisition is expected to be completed on or about
February 21, 2008. As a result of the first step of the acquisition,
the shareholders of TeleChem (the “TeleChem Shareholders”) will own a majority
of the voting stock of Integrated Media, which will adopt the assumed name
ArrayIt Company. The Merger will not require the approval of
shareholders of Integrated Media.
Under the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, following the first step of the Merger, all
officers and directors of Integrated Media will resign their posts immediately.
Rene’ A. Schena, President, Chief Executive Officer of TeleChem will be
appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Integrated Media, Todd J. Martinsky will be appointed a Director
and Vice President, Mark Schena, Ph.D. will be appointed Director Chief
Technology Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, and Paul Haje will be appointed
Director of Public Relations. William L. Sklar, the sole officer and
director of Integrated Media will resign from these positions with the parent
company upon the appointment of the new officers and directors. Ms.
Schena, Messrs. Martinsky, Schena and Haje will not begin their terms as
officers and additional directors until after the expiration of the ten day
period beginning on the later of the date of the filing of this Information
Statement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 14f-1 or the date of mailing of this
Information Statement to Integrated Media’s shareholders and completion of the
first step of the Merger.
Because
of the change in ownership and the composition of the board upon completion of
the Merger, there will be a change in control of Integrated Media.
Please read this Information Statement
carefully. It describes the terms of the acquisition under the Merger
Agreement and its effect on Integrated Media and contains biographical and other
information concerning the executive officer and directors after the

at the public reference section of the SEC at Judiciary Plaza, 450 Fifth Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of this material also
may be obtained from the SEC at prescribed rates. The SEC also
maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and
other information regarding public companies that file reports with the
SEC. Copies of Integrated Media filings may be obtained from the
SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
THE
MERGER AGREEMENT
On February 5, 2008 Integrated Media,
TeleChem and the TeleChem Shareholders entered into the Merger Agreement
followed by an amendment effective February 11, 2008 pursuant to which
Integrated Media will, in two steps, acquire 100% of the outstanding equity
interest of TeleChem.
The acquisition is expected to be
completed in two steps. The first step will be taken on or about
February 21, 2008 by the issuance of 100,000 shares of preferred stock that is
convertible upon completion of the second step of the Merger into 35,000,000
shares (a majority) of the common stock to the TeleChem Shareholders in exchange
for 100% of the equity interests of TeleChem. At that time, the
parent company will adopt the assumed name ArrayIt Company. The
second step will be completed after: (i) reincorporation to Nevada and
governance by the Nevada Articles, (ii) completion of the reverse split of the
outstanding Integrated Media common stock, (iii) conversion of all outstanding
shares of convertible preferred stock, (iv) conversion of all outstanding notes,
bonds and debentures; and (v) change of the corporate name to ArrayIt
Corporation . After completion of the first step of the Merger,
TeleChem will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Integrated Media and the present
TeleChem Shareholders will own approximately 73.5% of the outstanding equity
interest and voting rights of the parent company. Neither the first
or second step of the Merger will require approval of shareholders of Integrated
Media.
Upon completion of the “reverse-split”
and reincorporation to the State of Nevada and adoption of the Nevada Articles
of Incorporation that has been authorized by the board of directors and majority
shareholders of Integrated Media, there will be approximately 47,637,860
outstanding common shares. Approximately 35,000,000 common shares
(73.5%) will be held by the present TeleChem Shareholders and approximately
11,537,860 common shares (24.20%) will be held by the present Integrated Media
shareholders.
The Merger Agreement contemplates that
immediately following the first step of the acquisition, Rene’ A. Schena,
President and Chief Executive Officer of TeleChem will be appointed President,
CEO and a director of Integrated Media. William L. Sklar will resign
from these positions with the parent company upon Ms. Schena’s
appointment. Ms. Schena intends to appoint Todd J. Martinsky, Mark
Schena, Ph.D, and Paul Haje as officers and additional directors. Ms.
Schena, Messrs. Martinsky, Schena and Haje will serve until their respective
successors are elected and qualified.
PROPOSED
CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Giving effect to the merger and
replacement of the officer and director of Integrated Media by the board of
directors of TeleChem, and the issuance of Integrated Media preferred stock to
the TeleChem Shareholders:
· the
Shareholders of TeleChem will own a majority of the outstanding voting stock of
Integrated Media;
· Ms.
Schena, Messrs. Martinsky and Schena will be the only directors of Integrated
Media.
· Integrated
Media will change its name to Arrayit Corporation.
As a result of the majority voting
stock ownership of the TeleChem Shareholders and director status, upon
completion of the merger, Ms. Schena, Messrs. Martinsky and Schena will be in
control of the business and affairs of Integrated Media.
Giving effect to the “reverse-split”
and the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation approved by the shareholders
of Integrated Media, upon completion of the Merger, there will be approximately
47,637,860 outstanding common shares and 6,250,000 will be reserved for issuance
for a total of 53,887,860 shares. Approximately 35,000,000 common
shares (64.35%) will be held by the present TeleChem Shareholders and
approximately 11,537,860 common shares (21.41%) will be held by the present
Integrated Media shareholders.
TELECHEM
TeleChem
is a privately-held company with diversified business activities in the life
sciences, chemical trading and disease diagnostics areas. It was founded in 1993
by Rene Schena and Todd Martinsky as a chemical import and export trading
company. TeleChem’s chemicals division provides customers with the
raw materials required for plastics, water soluble fertilizers, and alternative
fuels. TeleChem entered the biotechnology sector with the creation of
the ArrayIt® Life Sciences Division in 1996. Because of the public
interest in the Human Genome Project and microarray technology, TeleChem focused
on microarray products and services for the research, pharmaceutical and
diagnostics markets. TeleChem’s ArrayIt® Division currently provides
its patented microarray platform (US 6,101,946) to more than 3,000 installations
serving an estimated 10,000 laboratories, making it the most widely used
microarray technology in the world. Supporting instruments, kits,
reagents, and hardware complete the ArrayIt® line of more than 400 products
making up what management believes is a universal microarray platform for any
type of biomolecule.
During
the year 2001, the Diagnostics Division was started in order to leverage the
patented (6,913,879) multi-patient technology for genetic screening and
testing. This next generation microarray format allows clinical
laboratories to examine tens of thousands of patients on a single microarray,
providing much more cost-effective gene information for population-wide
diagnostics than traditional “single patient” microarrays. The
company is currently developing or has developed tests for many major human
diseases including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and
cancer. ArrayIt intends to compete in the $20 billion molecular
diagnostics arena.
The
TeleChem customer base includes major universities, pharmaceutical and biotech
companies, agricultural and chemical companies, government agencies, national
research foundations and private sector enterprises around the
world. The company website receives more than 1,000,000 hits per
month and the Shopping Cart allows on-line product ordering 24 hours a day. The
website makes available the Electronic Library free-of-charge to the tens of
thousands of researchers worldwide who wish to keep pace with the microarray
literature. TeleChem scientists were featured on NOVA’s television show
“Cracking the Code of Life” in 2001. The company received the Rising
Star Award from the City of Sunnyvale in 2002 and 2003, the Silicon Valley Top
50 Award from the San Jose Business Journal in 2003, and consecutive selection
to the Inc. 500 List in 2002 and 2003 by Inc. magazine.
TeleChem’s
principal office is in Sunnyvale, California. TeleChem presently has
eight employees.

(1) Held
under the terms of two custodian agreements that grant exclusive voting,
dispositive and any other economic rights to the beneficial owners named in the
agreements. None of the parties to the agreements have the right to
acquire (as hereinafter defined), individually, 5% of the total outstanding
shares of common stock. The number of shares assumes completion of
the reverse split authorized by the board of directors and majority
shareholders.
(2) Upon
completion of the first step of the two step Merger the TeleChem shareholders
will receive a total of 100,000 shares of Series C Preferred, each convertible,
on or after completion of the second and final step of the Merger, into three
hundred fifty (350) common shares (35,000,000 shares total) and vote on an as
converted basis of three hundred fifty (350) votes per preferred
share. The number of shares shown assumes completion of the reverse
split authorized by the board of directors and majority shareholder followed by
conversion of the preferred shares to common shares.
(3) Based
on a total of 47,637,860 common shares outstanding after consummation of the
second step of the Merger and completion of the reverse split authorized by the
board of directors and majority shareholders followed by conversion of the
preferred shares to common shares.
(4) As used
in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the sole or shared power to vote, or
to direct the voting of, a security, or the sole or shared investment power with
respect to a security (i.e., the power to dispose of, or to direct the
disposition of, a security). Except as otherwise noted, it is
believed by Integrated Media that all persons have full voting and investment
power with respect to the shares indicated. Under the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to
be a “beneficial owner” of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has
or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the
power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such
security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a
beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be
a beneficial owner of any security which that person has the right to acquire
within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase the common stock of
Integrated Media.
