AND RULE 14f-1 PROMULGATED THEREUNDER
This information statement is being provided for informational purposes only. No vote or other action of the stockholders of Strativation, Inc. is required in connection with this information statement. No proxies are being solicited and you are requested not to send a proxy to us.
INTRODUCTION
This statement pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Statement) is being circulated to the shareholders of record as of January 23, 2007 of Strativation, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in connection with the transaction described more fully below, which resulted in a change of control of the Company. Strativation, Inc. (hereinafter the Registrant or "STVT") is a reporting company pursuant to the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN CONTROL TRANSACTION
On January 16, 2007, Strativation, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Registrant) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with CNS Merger Corporation, a California corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant (MergerCo), and CNS Response, Inc., a California corporation (CNSR). CNSRs business is focused on the commercialization of a patented system that aids physicians in the identification and determination of appropriate and effective medications for patients with certain behavioral (mental or addictive) disorders.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Registrant will, upon the closing of the Merger, cause MergerCo to merge with and into CNSR. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement or as a result of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement:
CNSR will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant;
The Registrant will issue 17,744,625 shares of its common stock, and options and warrants to purchase a total of 8,407,517 additional shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CNSR and corresponding options and warrants to purchase shares of Registrant common stock;
The Registrant will close a private placement offering resulting in proceeds of a minimum of $10,125,000;
The Registrant will issue a total of 215,567 shares of its common stock to a holder of convertible debt of CNSR in connection with certain contractual rights granted to such holder;
The Registrant will issue a total of 74,074 shares of common stock and 780,000 warrants to purchase common stock to Brean Murray Carret & Co., CNSRs placement agent providing services with respect to the Merger and the private placement offering; and
The Registrant will change its name to CNS Response, Inc. and procure a new trading symbol which bears a closer resemblance to its new name.
As a result of the Merger, the Registrant will be the parent corporation and the stockholders of CNSR will become shareholders of STVT. The shareholders of STVT immediately prior to the Merger will own approximately 3.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Registrant's common stock based on 26,403,090 shares outstanding after the Merger (assuming the sale of the minimum number of shares in the Offering). The shareholders of STVT immediately prior to the Merger will own approximately 2.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock if all options and warrants to purchase restricted shares of the Registrant's common stock outstanding after the consummation of the Merger and the Offering, which would result in 37,840,607 shares of common stock outstanding.
CNSRs completion of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain contingencies including, without limitation, the completion of a private placement of common stock and warrants (Investment Units) resulting in approximately $10 million in gross proceeds to the Registrant as a combined entity (Offering), the continued quotation of the Registrants common stock on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) and the Registrants timely and complete filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of all required reports, schedules, forms, and other documents. The Registrants and MergerCos completion of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement are also subject to the satisfaction of certain contingencies including, among other things, the truthfulness and accuracy of the CNSR financial statements and their preparation in accordance with GAAP, and the absence of any undisclosed liabilities of CNSR.
The respective boards of directors of the Registrant, MergerCo, and CNSR have each approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The closing of such transactions and the effectiveness of the Merger are anticipated to occur within 15 days of the date hereof (the Closing Date). However, there can be no assurances that the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement will be consummated, as the Merger Agreement may be terminated pursuant to the provisions thereof.
Upon effectiveness of the Merger, Mr. Silas Phillips, the sole member of the board of directors of the Registrant prior to the change in control, has agreed to tender his resignation from his position as sole director, and will also resign as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary, of the Registrant. To fill the vacancies created by the resignation of Mr. Phillips from such capacities, the Registrants board of directors has approved the appointments of Mr. Leonard J. Brandt, David B. Jones, and Jerome Vaccaro, M.D. (Successor Directors), to the board of directors, subject to the fulfillment of certain disclosure and notification requirements, and effective upon the close of the contemplated Merger.
Resignation of Silas Phillips as sole director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary on the one hand, and appointment of the Successor Directors on the other hand, is subject to the conclusion of the 10-day period (the 10-day Period) that will follow the date on which this Schedule 14f-1 was filed with the Commission and transmitted to the Registrants stockholders of record. This Schedule 14f-1 will be mailed to the stockholders on or about January 24, 2007. The 10-day Period is expected to conclude on or about February 5, 2007.
CNSR retained Brean Murray, Carret & Co., LLC as its placement agent (Placement Agent) and corporate finance advisor in connection with the Offering and to provide advice as needed on the Merger. There is no firm commitment by the Placement Agent, or any other persons, to purchase the Investment Units, and the Placement Agent is conducting the Offering on a best efforts basis. The Placement Agent, with the consent of CNSR, may engage other participating dealers in connection with the Offering and may reallocate a portion of their respective compensation.
CNSR and the Placement Agent are parties to an engagement agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of their relationship. Under the terms of its engagement agreement, the Placement Agent is entitled to receive a retainer in the form of 74,074 shares of the Registrants common stock upon the closing of the Offering. CNSR also agreed to pay the Placement Agent fees in an aggregate amount equal to 8% of the funds raised in the Offering. The Placement Agent will also receive warrants to purchase shares of the Registrants common stock in amounts equal to (i) 8% of the shares of Common Stock sold by the Placement Agent in the Offering (at an exercise price of $1.62 per share), and (ii) 8% of the shares underlying the warrants sold by the Placement Agent in the Offering (at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.) CNSR also agreed to grant the Placement Agent a right of first refusal to represent the Registrant (as a combined entity) in certain corporate finance transactions for a period of one year following the closing of the Offering.
It is contemplated that within 45 days following the completion of the Offering and the closing of the Merger, the Registrant will file a registration statement on Form SB-2 under the Securities Act to register for resale fifty percent (50%) of the shares of common stock underlying the Investment Units, up to a maximum of 4,500,000 shares of common stock. The Registrant will register the underlying shares on a registration statement for resale by those persons purchasing Investment Units in the Offering pro rata based on such persons percentage interest in the total number of Investment Units sold in the Offering. In addition, it is contemplated that certain majority stockholders of the Registrant who were stockholders prior to the Merger (STRV Majority Stockholders) shall become a party to a registration rights agreement together with the persons purchasing Investment Units, pursuant to which up to 383,552 shares held by such shareholders will be included in such registration statement.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and an arrangement with the STRV Majority Stockholders, such stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Registrant and CNSR against certain third party claims made against the Registrant related to the operation of the Registrant from the time they became majority stockholders through the consummation of the contemplated Merger.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Registrant has agreed to pay an advisory fee of $475,000 to Richardson & Patel, LLP in connection with the contemplated Merger, payable upon the closing of the Merger and the Offering.
The above description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Registrants current report on Form 8-K filed on January 22, 2007, incorporated by reference herein. Further information about the Offering can also be found in the Registrants Form 8-K filed on January 22, 2007.

|
|

|
|
|
Mr. Jerome Vaccaro, M.D. shall be appointed to the board of directors of the Registrant. |

VOTING SECURITIES
The Registrant's common stock is the only class of equity security that is currently outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of its stockholders. Each share of common stock entitles its holder to one (1) vote. As of January 22, 2007, there were 868,823 shares of the Registrant's common stock issued and outstanding.
PRIOR CHANGE IN CONTROL TRANSACTION
On July 18, 2006, the Registrant entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Stock Purchase Agreement) with seventeen accredited investors (collectively, the Purchasers), pursuant to which the Registrant agreed to issue 3,800,000 shares of the Registrants common stock (the Shares) to the Purchasers. The consideration received by the Registrant for the issuance of the Shares was an aggregate of $237,669. All consideration received by the Registrant for the issuance of the Shares was used to satisfy existing liabilities of the Registrant. On January 15, 2007, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Shares for Debt Agreement, by and among the Registrant and Richardson and Patel LLP ("R&P"), the Registrant issued 656,103 shares of its common stock to R&P as full and complete payment of a partial debt of $261,201.84 that was owed to R&P. As of January 22, 2007, the Purchasers and R&P collectively held approximately 88% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Registrant.
In connection with the transaction, the Registrant appointed one new director, Mr. Silas Phillips, to the Registrants Board of Directors and the Registrants previous directors resigned.
CURRENT DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The following table sets forth the name, positions and age of the Registrants current executive officer and director. All directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. Officers are elected by the board of directors and their terms of office are, except to the extent governed by an employment contract, at the discretion of the board of directors.

Mr. Silas Phillips, age 35, is the Registrants Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Director. Mr. Phillips is also currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of Internet Media Group, Inc., a company he formed and has owned since March 1999.

Mr. Phillips also has expertise in conducting market research and competitive analysis.
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Registrant currently does not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees of the Board or committees performing similar functions because the Registrant has no meaningful operations and no employees. These functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. The Registrant does not have an audit committee charter or nominating committee charter.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Registrant is not a listed company under SEC rules and is therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. The Registrants board of directors has determined that its members do not include a person who is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Registrants board of directors has determined that Mr. Phillips is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in his financial sophistication. Accordingly, the board of directors believes that its current member has the sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations that an audit committee would have.
The Registrant determined not to establish a nominating committee at this time in view of changes in the composition of the board of directors that will occur at the closing of the Merger. Previously, nominations were determined by the members of the then existing board of directors.
Section 16 Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock (collectively, Reporting Persons) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock. Reporting Persons are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from the Reporting Persons, the Registrant believes that all Reporting Persons complied with these filing requirements.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No interlocking relationship exists between our board of directors and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.
DIRECTOR AND OFFICER COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth the compensation of the Registrant's executive officers during the last three fiscal years. The remuneration described in the table does not include the cost to the Registrant of benefits furnished to the named executive officers, including premiums for health insurance and other benefits provided to such individuals that are extended in connection with the conduct of the Registrant's business.

From August 2000 through February 2003, Leonard J. Brandt, together with Meyerlen, LLC, a company in which Mr. Brandt owns a substantial interest, loaned CNSR a total of approximately $718,900 and purchased warrants to purchase approximately 945,750 shares of CNSR common stock, pursuant to the terms of certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements. In October 2006 Mr. Brandt agreed to cancel the promissory notes and convert the loans, including all outstanding principal and accrued interest thereon, into 1,218,741 shares of CNSR Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 255,306 shares of CNSR Series A-2 Preferred Stock.
In connection with the consummation of an asset purchase transaction in January 2000, by and between Mill City/CNS, LLC and NuPharm, Mill City issued to NuPharm Database, LLC a certain Promissory Note dated January 11, 2000 (the Original NuPharm Note) pursuant to which Mill City was obligated to pay NuPharm an aggregate principal amount of $299,923.00 together with interest pursuant to the payment schedule set forth in the Original NuPharm Note. In January 2000, Mill City contributed substantially all of its assets, including those securing the Original Note, to CNSR, and CNSR assumed certain debts and obligations of Mill City, including Mill Citys obligations under the Original NuPharm Note. In October 2006, CNSR entered into an agreement with NuPharm to cancel the Original NuPharm Note in consideration for the extension of the expiration date of a Warrant to purchase CNSR Common Stock held by NuPharm and a new promissory note in the principal amount of $287,423 (the New NuPharm Note). The loan represented by the New NuPharm Note bears interest at the rate of 5.00% per annum, compounded annually. All principal and accrued interest are due and payable on the October 3, 2011, unless such Note converts
earlier by its terms. The New NuPharm Note provides that the loan, including all accrued interest, converts into shares of common stock of CNSR, or its successor in interest or affiliate if CNSR receives aggregate net proceeds of at least $5,000,000, or such lesser amount as is agreed in writing by CNSR and the Holder, from the sale of common stock, or units including common stock and other securities of CNSR. Upon completion of this Offering, the principal and accrued interest through December 31, 2006 on the New NuPharm Note will automatically convert into 215,567 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.
In May 2005, April 2006 and July 2006, Odyssey Venture Partners II, L.P. of which David Jones is a partner, loaned CNSR an aggregate of approximately $999,400 and purchased warrants to purchase approximately 523,305 shares of CNSR common stock, pursuant to the terms of certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreements.

Pursuant to CNSRs settlement agreement with Mr. Brandt, CNSR issued to Mr. Brandt 1,519,366 shares of its Common Stock in settlement of accrued compensation due in the amount of $1,258,705.00. In connection with this Settlement, CNSR loaned Mr. Brandt approximately $96,400 to pay the withholding tax on the value of such shares, which loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The promissory note, by its terms, may be satisfied by the return and cancellation of shares of CNSR common stock held by Mr. Brandt having a value equal to the amount of the principal and accrued interest on such note. Immediately following the closing of the Merger, the loan to Mr. Brandt will be repaid by returning to the Company that number of Shares of common stock having a value equal to the loan amount plus accrued interest based on the average of the closing price on NASDs OTC Bulletin Board of the companys Common Stock on the first day of trading after the Merger.
