LadyBug Resource Group Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire MAG International
20 October 2010 - 12:00AM
LadyBug Resource Group Inc. (OTCBB:LBRG) has entered into a
Definitive Agreement to acquire 100% of MAG International, Inc.
(MAG), a leader in gasoline and electric mini-utility vehicles.
MAG is a manufacturer and distributor of quality and
innovatively designed gasoline and electric mini-utility
vehicles. MAG's vehicles have an array of applications that
can be seen nationwide within various industries such as military
bases, government facilities, universities, paper mills, corporate
complexes, oil refineries, golf clubs and resorts. MAG's
largest customers include several divisions of the United States
Federal Government including the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Army and
the U.S. Marines. Additionally, over the last four years, several
hundred MAG Trucks have been purchased by United States Prime
Contractors including Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) and Fluor Inc.
for use by the U.S. Military and are currently in service in the
Middle East.
Sales from inception grew to $19.8 million dollars by the end of
2009 with the largest growth occurring in 2008 when sales hit $9.3
million dollars. As the worldwide recession took hold, MAG
dramatically reduced inventory and cut costs during 2009, posting
sales of $3.1 million dollars by year-end. For 2010, the
Company has orders for $1.8 million and is arranging an expanded
credit facility so that it can ramp back up sales to meet the
demand by Industry, Government and the Military in both Gas and
Electric mini-utility vehicle market.
Eric Baron, CEO and Founder of MAG, said, "MAG is extremely
excited to be moving forward with the acquisition by
LadyBug. MAG is strategically placed to capitalize on the
booming electric vehicle market, especially the Federal
Government's effort to electrify portions of their vehicle
fleets. We are positioned at the right place at the right time
with the right products."
Craig Barton, COO of LadyBug, said, "We see MAG as an
opportunity to get in on the ground floor as these specialized
vehicles make the transition from conventional fuels to flex fuels
and zero emission all-electric drivetrains using American made
components and batteries. Energy conservation is now an important
national priority. This is the industry of the future and we are
very excited to be part of it."
