Dear Shareholder:
We have previously sent to you proxy material for the Special General Meeting of
Shareholders of Genesis Microchip Incorporated to be held on February 11, 2002.
Your Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR both proposals on
the agenda, in connection with the proposed reorganization and merger with Sage,
Inc.
Approval of Proposal 1 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the number
of shareholders represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, as well as 75%
of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting. Therefore, your vote
is important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own. Whether or not
you have already done so, please sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card
today.
Very truly yours,
