KAMLOOPS, British Columbia, Sept. 27, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Global Explorations Inc. (Pink Sheets:GXXL) would like to confirm the price which is being paid by Universal Beverages for the acquisition of stock in Global. That price is 1.25 cents.
Universal is also paying a non-refundable deposit of $50,000 for an option to acquire an additional 10% of the company at a price of 2.5 cents per share. The option is good for one year.
Michelle Yulanda, Vice-President of Business Development & Acquisitions at Universal, explains the reasons for which Universal is acquiring a substantial stake and paying a premium for shares in Global:
-- The database of cell phone numbers that Global has assembled during the last few months is priceless. The ability to reach more than 1,000,000 unique individuals at anytime is on par with some television networks. -- Universal is taking a strategic equity position in Global as the company is positioned for exponential growth in earnings and revenues within the next few months. -- Universal believes that Global is following highly a successful SMS business model which has been proven very successful overseas. We want to make sure that we do not miss the boat again. -- Global's SMS messaging interface is by far the simplest and easy to use compared to other SMS providers. This gives Global a strategic advantage over its competitors. -- Universal can utilize Global's current cell phone database to market its products.
