INTRODUCTION
This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by Color
Imaging, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Color Imaging"), pursuant to Section
13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and Rule 13e-3 promulgated thereunder. Color Imaging is proposing that its
stockholders, at a Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of Color Imaging (the
"Annual Meeting"), approve and adopt amendments to Color Imaging's Certificate
of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock at one of
the following ratios: 1-for-1500, 1-for-2500 or 1-for-5000 and the repurchase of
the resulting fractional shares held by each stockholder with less than one
share after the reverse stock split, followed immediately by an amendment of
Color Imaging's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a forward stock split of
Color Imaging's common shares upon the inverse of the ratio used in effecting
the reverse stock split (collectively the "Stock Splits"). As a result of the
Stock Splits, (a) each stockholder owning fewer than 5,000 shares, 2,500 shares
or 1,500 shares, as applicable, of outstanding common stock immediately before
the Stock Splits will receive $1.10 in cash, without interest, for each Color
Imaging common share owned by such stockholder immediately prior to the Stock
Splits and will no longer be a stockholder of Color Imaging; and (b) each
stockholder owning more than the number of common shares upon which the reverse
stock split was effected immediately before the Stock Splits will receive common
shares equal to the number of common shares they held prior to the Stock Splits.
The Stock Splits are proposed for the purpose of taking Color Imaging private
and terminating its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Stock Splits Proposal").
This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") concurrently with a preliminary proxy statement, including exhibits,
filed by Color Imaging pursuant to Rule 14A under the Exchange Act (the "Proxy
Statement"), which will notify the holders of Common Shares of the Annual
Meeting at which they will be asked to approve the Stock Splits, and to transact
any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
The information contained in the Proxy Statement is hereby expressly
incorporated herein by reference and the responses to each item are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the information contained in the Proxy Statement.
As of the date hereof, the Proxy Statement is in preliminary form and is subject
to amendment and completion. This Schedule 13E-3 will be amended to reflect such
