THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT

OR “OUR”).
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE
REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
BY WRITTEN CONSENT IN LIEU
OF A MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS, SHAREHOLDERS OWNING APPROXIMATELY 77.5% OF THE VOTING POWER OF OUR OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK HAVE

IS NOT NECESSARY.
OVERVIEW OF DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE
COMPANY
This Information Statement
is being furnished to shareholders of Multi Solutions II, Inc., a Florida corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,”
or the “Company”), in connection with the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution authorized by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”) on October 11, 2024, which the Board recommended that the shareholders of the Company adopt and approve,
and which shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Consenting Shareholders”),
par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), did adopt and approve by written consent on ______, 2024 (the “Written
Consent”). The Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan”) is included in this Information Statement as Annex
A
This information is being
provided to you pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
This Information Statement also constitutes the notice to the Company’s shareholders of a corporate action taken by written consent
of the Consenting Shareholders required by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”). Copies
of this Notice and Information Statement are first being mailed on or about ______, 2024 to all Company shareholders of record as of the
close of business (Eastern time) on October 11, 2024, the record date for this information statement.
As of the close of business
on the record date, there were [1,899,575] shares of Common Stock outstanding held by approximately [533] holders of record.
Because the Plan has been
approved by the Consenting Shareholders pursuant to the Written Consent, you are not being asked to vote your shares with respect to the
Plan. The Company will act on the matters set forth in the Written Consent no earlier than twenty (20) calendar days from the date the
definitive Notice and Information Statement is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders.
There will be no assets available
for distribution to the Company’s shareholders and none of the shares of the Common Stock will have any value upon completion of
the Plan.
Information About the Company; Liquidation
and Dissolution of the Company
The Company was originally
incorporated on July 26, 1982, in New Jersey under the name “Multi Solutions, Inc.” Through our subsidiary, Multi
Soft II, Inc. (“Multi Soft”), we were engaged in the production, marketing and maintenance of a line of software products
consisting of tools for the development of client-server, front-ending, and Internet based applications using a mainframe or an Internet
server through 2002 (the “Prior Operations”).
In 1983, we consummated our
initial public offering of securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-18 (SEC File No. 2-85710-NY) declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 14, 1983, and contemporaneously registered our Common Stock under the
Exchange Act (SEC File No. 0-12162). In 2002, we began to discontinue and wind down our Prior Operations and by 2005, our Prior Operations
had completely ceased.
As reported in the Company’s
filings with the SEC, since ceasing our Prior Operations, the Company has not engaged in any business activity but has explored the possibility
of acquiring or merging with several companies. Throughout this period, the Company had no employees apart from management and paid no
compensation to its president, who devoted most of his business time to other activities. The Company continues to incur administrative
expenses relating to maintenance of its corporate status and compliance with SEC regulations.
In September 2011, the
Company effected a reverse split and changed its domicile from New Jersey to Florida. As a result of the filing of Articles of Merger
with the State of Florida, the reverse split was effective on September 29, 2011. All shares issued prior to September 29, 2011
have been restated retroactively to reflect the reverse split.
The Board has determined that
there is no reasonable prospect for a satisfactory merger or acquisition of or by the Company, and that there is no business reason for
the Company to continue in existence. Accordingly, the Board of Directors authorized, and recommended that the shareholders of the Company
approve and adopt, a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan”) on October 11, 2024 and the Plan was approved and adopted
by the Consenting Shareholders through the Written Consent on ____________, 2024. The Plan is set forth in its entirety at Annex A
attached hereto. The Board and the officers of the Company (the “Officers”) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, modify,
amend or abandon the Plan without any further shareholder approval. Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 of the Exchange Act, the Company
will not act on the matters set forth in the Written Consent until twenty (20) calendar days from the date the definitive Notice and Information
statement is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders.
In reliance upon the Written
Consent, we expect to file Articles of Dissolution (the “Articles of Dissolution”) with the Florida Department of State dissolving
the Company pursuant to the FBCA on or shortly after the date that is twenty (20) calendar days from the date the definitive Notice and
Information statement is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders. The Company will continue to exist after its dissolution for
the period set forth in the FBCA or as may be required pursuant to the Plan, including to resolve any pending litigation matters, to prosecute
and defend suits against the Company and enable the Company to wind up its business, to dispose of its property, to discharge its liabilities
and to distribute any remaining assets to its shareholders.
Upon filing of the Articles
of Dissolution, the Plan provides that the Company will cease further business activities except to the extent and for the period described
above. The Plan provides that, among other actions, the following steps will be completed at such times as the Board or the Officers implementing
the Plan, in their discretion and in accordance with the FBCA, deem necessary, appropriate or advisable in the best interests of the Company
and its shareholders:
| · | Pay or make provision for the payment of liabilities, debts or obligations of the Company prior to the
date of the Plan of Liquidation or to be incurred after such date, including expenses associated with the liquidation and winding up of
our affairs; |
| · | If deemed necessary or appropriate by the Board, in its absolute discretion, establish and set aside a
contingency reserve to satisfy claims against any unmatured or contingent liabilities of ours and expenses of the sale of our property
and assets and the liquidation and dissolution provided for in the Plan; and |
| · | Take any and all other actions permitted or required by the FBCA and any other applicable laws and regulations. |
Our Board and the Officers
may, to the full extent permitted by law, amend the Plan without any further shareholder approval if it determines that such amendment
is in the best interest of our shareholders. Neither our Board nor the Officers may amend or modify the Plan under circumstances that
would require additional shareholder approval under the FBCA or federal securities laws without complying with such requirements. In addition,
if the Board determines that dissolution and liquidation are not in our best interests or the best interests of our shareholders, the
Board may direct that the Plan be abandoned.
Dissenters’ Rights; Regulatory Requirements
Florida law does not provide
for any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal in connection with this action. To the best of the knowledge of the Company, except
for the filing of the Articles of Dissolution with the Florida Secretary of State and compliance with the FBCA, federal and state securities
laws and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), no U.S. federal or state regulatory requirements must
be complied with, and no approvals must be obtained, in connection with the dissolution and liquidation of the Company.
We plan to file the Articles
of Dissolution, as directed by the Consenting Shareholders in the Written Consent, no earlier than twenty (20) calendar days from the
date the definitive Notice and Information statement is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders.
Reporting Requirements of the Exchange Act
Our Common Stock is registered
under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, as a result, the Company has reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and
15(d) of the Exchange Act. We are current in our Exchange Act reporting obligations. Continued compliance with the reporting requirements
of Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, however, is a substantial financial burden on us. As of July 31, 2024,
the Company has de minimis equity value (approximately $[166]), with $[12,342] in cash and cash equivalents and $[1,180,465]
owed under a shareholder loan (which shareholder loan is contemplated to be forgiven in connection with the Plan). Since 2005, when we
discontinued our Prior Operations, we have not carried on any operations or had any revenues or earnings. In order to continue with its
reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) the Company requires additional funds, which it believes could only be
raised from the Company’s shareholders, if at all. Importantly, compliance with Sections 13(a) and 15(d) reporting requirements
provides no benefit to any existing shareholder or to any trading market. The Company is seeking to curtail expenditures and conserve
cash to enable it to dissolve in an orderly and responsible manner. The Company estimates that the costs associated with producing its
Annual Report on Form 10-K and each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the year ended December 31, 2024, would be approximately
$50,000 per year, including fees paid to the Company’s independent registered accounting firm and legal fees for report preparation
and review.
In light of this, in reliance
upon the Written Consent and upon the filing the Plan of Dissolution, we intend to cease reporting under the Exchange Act in reliance
on the SEC’s published criteria for granting relief to issuers from the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act set forth in
(i) SEC Release No. 34-9660 (June 30, 1972) (the “SEC Release”); and (ii) several no-action letters issued
by the SEC, as discussed below.
1. SEC
Release. In the SEC Release, the SEC stated that in certain instances, upon request by an issuer, granting relief from the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act would be appropriate if compliance would be unreasonably burdensome in light of the benefit to be derived
from continued reporting. Specifically, the SEC stated: “[A]n unreasonable effort or expense would result if the benefits which
might be derived by the shareholders of the issuer from the filing of the information are outweighed significantly by the costs to the
issuer of obtaining the information. For example, where a company has ceased or severely curtailed its operations, it might be unreasonable
to require it to undergo the expense of obtaining the opinion of an independent auditor on its financial statements.” In addition,
in determining whether the suspension of an issuer’s reporting requirements is consistent with the protection of investors, the
SEC considers “the nature and extent of the trading in the securities of the issuer.”
2. No-Action
Letters. In several no-action letters (collectively, the “No-Action Letters”) issued by the staff of the SEC’s Division
of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”), the Staff has taken the position that it will not recommend enforcement action against
an issuer (i) that has filed articles of dissolution, (ii) whose securities are not traded on a national securities exchange
and there is otherwise minimal trading in the securities, (iii) that is otherwise current in its Exchange Act reporting requirements
and (iv) where, in lieu of continuing to file certain periodic reports, the issuer undertakes to disclose to public investors any
material developments relating to its liquidation and dissolution on current reports on Form 8-K. [See, e.g., Behringer
Harvard Opportunity REIT I, Inc. (March 23, 2018); KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (February 28, 2017); Swisher
Hygiene Inc. (August 5, 2016); Sooner Holdings, Inc. (August 11, 2014); The Allied Defense Group, Inc. (November 13,
2013); CIL&D, LLC (August 12, 2013); Chai-Na-Ta Corp. (November 29, 2012); Freedom Financial Group, Inc. (March 24,
2010); Genesee Corporation (December 5, 2007); SeaDrill Ltd. (March 30, 2006); Cygnus, Inc. (March 27, 2006); JG Industries, Inc.
(June 18, 2001); Secom General Corp. (March 21, 2001); and Ross Technology, Inc. (March 30, 1999). In Compliance and
Disclosure Interpretations Question 130.01 concerning Section 13 of the Exchange Act, the Staff advised that the nature and extent
of trading of an issuer’s securities described in the No-Action Letter provided to Evolve Software, Inc. (July 26, 2003)
is representative of “minimal” trading for the purposes of the relief requested in the No-Action Letters.
We believe that, in reliance
upon the Written Consent and upon the filing of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company will satisfy the criteria described above in the
SEC Release and the No-Action Letters, based upon the following:
| · | On ______, 2024, shareholders holding [●]% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
adopted and approved the Plan pursuant to the Written Consent. |
| · | This Notice and Information Statement relating to the Plan is being filed with the SEC and is first being
mailed to our shareholders pursuant to Regulation 14C under the Exchange Act on or about ______, 2024. |
| · | The Company is, and will be, current in its Exchange Act reporting requirements. |
| · | In reliance upon the Written Consent, the Company will file the Articles of Dissolution with the Florida
Secretary of State, as contemplated by the Plan, and will file a current report on Form 8-K disclosing the filing of the Articles
of Dissolution. |
| · | Upon filing of the Articles of Dissolution: |
| - | The Company will close its stock transfer books and instruct its transfer agent that no further stock
transfers will be recognized. There will be no further trading in the Common Stock. |
| - | The Company will not be under active management, will cease all operations and dissolve and will not engage
in any business operations, other than to satisfy its obligations to liquidate and wind up according to the Plan. |
| - | The Company will have satisfied or made provision to satisfy all of its known and contingent liabilities
and expenses and complete the liquidation of all of its operating assets as contemplated by the Plan. |
| · | The
Company’s Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and has no established public trading market. As of ______,
2024, there has been no reference to the Common Stock trading on www.otcmarkets.com, the website of the OTC markets, since July 24,
2023, including on the OTCQX, OTCBB or “Pink” markets. From January 1, 2024 until the date hereof, there were no shares
of Common Stock traded. As of the date hereof, there are no market makers for the Company’s Common Stock. |
| · | The Company has no currently effective registration statements pursuant to Form S-1, Form S-3
or Form S-8. |
| · | The Company will continue to file current reports on Form 8-K to disclose material developments relating
to its liquidation and winding up, such as the payment of any future liquidating distributions and other material payments and expenses
related to the process, if any, until such time as the process is complete. |
| · | Upon completion of the Plan, the Company intends to file a final report on Form 8-K disclosing such
event and a Form 15 to terminate its registration and reporting requirements. |
| · | Until the effectiveness of the Articles of Dissolution, we will continue to bear the expense of complying
with all applicable reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. |
Accordingly, while there can be no assurances
given and the matter is not free from doubt, based upon the foregoing, we believe it is unlikely that the Company’s decision to
cease reporting under the Exchange Act in reliance upon the Written Consent will result in the Company being subject to any enforcement
action by the SEC.
Authority of Officers and Directors
Our Board may appoint Officers
and retain employees, independent contractors and agents as necessary or desirable to implement the Plan and is authorized to pay compensation
to or otherwise compensate our directors, officers, employees, independent contractors and agents in order to successfully implement the
Plan. Shareholder approval of the Plan pursuant to the Written Consent will constitute approval by shareholders of any such compensation.
In reliance upon shareholder
approval of the Plan and without further shareholder action, our Board and, at the direction of the Board, the Officers, are authorized
to do and perform any and all acts and to make, execute and deliver any and all agreements, conveyances, assignments, transfers, certificates
and other documents of every kind and character that our board of directors or any such officer deems necessary, appropriate or advisable
to implement the Plan and to carry out the dissolution and winding up of the Company, including to (1) dissolve the Company in accordance
with the laws of the State of Florida, (2) sell, dispose, convey, transfer and deliver the assets of the Company, (3) satisfy
or provide for the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations and (4) distribute all remaining funds of the Company to the shareholders
of the Company in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended.
Additional information concerning
the Board and executive officers of the Company is hereby incorporated by reference to Part II, Item 10 of the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 29, 2024.
Professional Fees and Expenses
It is specifically contemplated
that we will obtain legal, tax and accounting advice and guidance from one or more law and accounting firms and tax advisors in implementing
the Plan, and we will pay all fees and expenses reasonably incurred by us in connection with or arising out of the implementation of the
Plan, including the prosecution, defense, settlement or other resolution of any claims or suits by or against us, the discharge, filing
and disclosure of outstanding obligations, liabilities and claims, filing and resolution of claims with local, county, state and federal
tax authorities, and the advancement and reimbursement of any fees and expenses payable by us pursuant to the indemnification we provide
in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and our bylaws, the FBCA or otherwise. In addition, in connection with and
for the purpose of implementing and assuring completion of the Plan, we may, in the absolute discretion of any of the Board or the Officers,
pay any brokerage, agency, professional and other fees and expenses of persons rendering services to us in connection with the collection,
sale, exchange or other disposition of our property and assets and the implementation of the Plan.
Indemnification and Insurance
We will continue to indemnify
our officers, directors, employees, agents and the liquidating trustee(s), if any, to the maximum extent required by applicable law, the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and our bylaws, and any contractual arrangements, for actions taken in connection
with the Plan and the winding up of our business and affairs. Our Board is authorized to obtain and maintain insurance as may be necessary,
appropriate or advisable to cover such indemnification obligations, including seeking an extension in time and coverage of our insurance
policies currently in effect.
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
OF THE COMPANY’S DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
The following is a summary
of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan that are generally applicable to our shareholders. This discussion
is included for general information purposes only and does not constitute, and is not, a tax opinion or tax advice to any particular shareholder.
This summary is based on the provisions of the Code, the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, administrative
rulings and other legal authorities, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
Any such change could alter or modify the statements and conclusions set forth below. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the
“IRS”) and no opinion of counsel will be requested or obtained concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the
Plan of Liquidation. The tax consequences set forth in the following discussion are not binding on the IRS or the courts, and no assurance
can be given that contrary positions will not be successfully asserted by the IRS or adopted by a court.
EACH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD
CONSULT HIS, HER OR ITS OWN TAX ADVISERS TO DETERMINE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER AS A RESULT OF THE
PLAN OF LIQUIDATION, AND ANY FEDERAL NON-INCOME, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES RELEVANT TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER AS A RESULT OF
THE PLAN OF LIQUIDATION.
The following discussion does
not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular shareholder in light of such shareholder’s
particular circumstances, or who may be subject to special rules under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including holders that are
not “United States persons” (as defined in the Code), former U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States,
including retirement plans, “individual retirement accounts” or “Roth IRAs” and other tax-deferred accounts, mutual
funds, retirement plans, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate
investment trusts, brokers or dealers in securities, traders who mark to market, shareholders who hold their shares as part of a straddle,
hedge, conversion or other integrated financial transaction, S-corporations, partnerships and other passthrough entities, and persons
that hold shares through an S-corporation, partnership or other pass-through entity. This discussion assumes that shareholders hold their
stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment) and that no such
stock was worthless within the meaning of Section 165(g) of the Code prior to adoption of the Plan. In addition, the discussion
does not address any aspect of federal non-income, state, local or non-U.S. taxation that may be applicable to a particular shareholder.
Federal Income Taxation of our Shareholders
It is not anticipated that
shareholders will receive any proceeds or other value pursuant to the dissolution and liquidation. As a result, a shareholder generally
will recognize loss equal to such shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of our Common Stock. Any loss recognized will be
long-term capital loss if the shareholder’s holding period for the shares of our Common Stock exceed one year. Recognized loss generally
will be determined separately for each block of the shares of our Common Stock (that is, shares of our Common Stock acquired at the same
coset in a single transaction). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
The tax consequences of the
Plan may vary depending upon the particular circumstances of the shareholder. We recommend that each shareholder consult his, her or its
own tax adviser regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Plan of Liquidation as well as the state, local and foreign tax consequences.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Information Statement
may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E
of the Exchange Act that reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. Words
such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,”
“plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words
indicate forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these words. The forward-looking statements in
this information statement are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results,
financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. Our actual results may vary materially from those indicated in
these forward-looking statements, including as a result of the factors described under “Risk Factors” in our quarterly and
annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as such factors may be updated from time to time
in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Other factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially include: changes in the economy, financial markets and political environment; risks associated
with possible disruption in the economy generally due to terrorism or natural disasters; the timing of release of amounts subject to escrow
under the asset purchase agreement referenced herein and the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; future changes in laws
or regulations (including the interpretation of these laws and regulations by regulatory authorities); our ability to satisfy our debt
obligations and pay dividends to our shareholders; potential wind-down or dispositions of our business; and other considerations that
may be disclosed from time to time in our publicly disseminated documents and filings. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and
it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Although we do not undertake any obligation
to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise,
except as required by law you are advised to consult any additional disclosures that we may make directly to you or through reports that
we in the future may file with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports
on Form 8-K, or otherwise make available to investors.
