This is from an internal document that I found in the office.
This is a breakdown of how the merger between Options talent, what we used to be called, and transcontinental records, took place.
Read it all!!!
The shadow knows..
On June 21 the Company internally formulated its first proposal to Louis Pearlman of Trans Continental Records, Inc. To suggest a business relationship in regard to the proposed expansion of the Company's business into the recruitment and development of musical talent.
On June 24, the Company forwarded its proposal to Mr. Pearlman through a mutual acquaintance.
On June 25, the Company was advised that Mr. Pearlman had reacted positively following review of the Company's proposal by Mr. Pearlman's staff. Mr. Pearlman also indicated that he wanted the President of Trans Continental Records, to be involved in the project. At that time the President of the Company, had personally known for a number of years, having worked together with him on a number of business transactions prior to his employment with the Company.
On June 28, Mr. Pearlman attended a presentation at the offices of the Company in Orlando relating to the music related activities planned by the Company. At the end of the meeting Mr. Pearlman suggested that he should meet at the earliest opportunity with others to discuss a potential transaction in more detail.
On July 12, Messrs. Had an exploratory meeting, but the outcome was inconclusive.
On July 16 Messrs. Had a telephone conversation during which it was indicated that Trans Continental Records might consider acquiring an interest in the Company as a possible alternative to pursuing a public offering by Trans Continental Records. Messrs. Agreed to arrange additional meetings to further discuss that concept.
