MANASSAS, VA, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ - In light of recent events,
the Board of 8000inc would like to state that the current litigious
statements made publicly and, in its opinion, the current under
valuation of the company is no longer acceptable and does not fit
with the corporate objectives. The following actions have been
instigated in the best interests of the shareholders and company.
It is the Board's intention to progress to a higher reporting
exchange with immediate effect and full execution of its plan.
- 8000inc has engaged two Independent Investment Banks to
facilitate exchange progression and increase capital resource.
Progression to a higher exchange is in the shareholders' and
company's best interests. Progression will be through OTCQX and
subsequently OTCQX premier. Currently, 8000inc satisfies all
criteria other than share price. The Board believes that the
business activity instigated will achieve the objectives of
10 cents minimally and $1 respectively. However, the mechanisms for
merger with an established corporation through a management buyout
have already been approved and established.
- The company is acquiring and retiring common stock to achieve a
public float of 20M shares.
- A new management team will be installed.
- Investors are advised that due to the absolute requirement to
attain higher exchange status and to fund its acquisitions, the
number of issued shares will increase. These shares will be held as
collateral to raise the cash requirements for acquisitions and
exchange progression, will be non-dilutable, and will be returned
to treasury after the loan term and retired. The available public
float will not increase from its current figure, but will be
decreased to 20M shares. Any increase in non-dilutable shares
issued to accommodate expansion will be matched by increased
revenue, profit, improved balance sheet and asset value and
increased shareholder equity for exchange progression.
- 8000inc has acquired a construction business to manage the
development of the 35 acres site for the Desmond Haynes Sporting
Centre of Excellence and its corporate HQ. The company has 13
years' operating experience with $1M
annual revenue across the Caribbean, and will provide project management
and construction ability. The new subsidiary will maintain the
current 8000inc property portfolio reducing expenditure and costs
currently paid to outside contractors.
- The company will invest $1M USD
into the Barbados cotton industry,
acquiring the latest commercial equipment and factory location to
supply its own Brand.
- The company has not instructed its transfer agent to withhold
any information. This is a unilateral decision by Signature Stock
Transfer Inc.
Thomas Kelly, CEO 8000inc stated,
