Greg Moss, the Chief Executive Officer of TRUSTCASH, commented, "With the execution of this Definitive Agreement TRUSTCASH moves forward our plan of being aggressive in our growth plans to build a significant operation under a synergistic direction for our shareholders. PAIVIS is a business that we believe has vast potential. It is currently a multimillion dollar operation that has a business plan which includes other acquisition candidates and a comprehensive strategy for growth and profit generation. We look forward to closing and welcoming the PAIVIS shareholders as TRUSTCASH shareholders and feel very strongly on the new combined entities moving forward."
Edwin Kwong, the Interim Executive Officer of PAIVIS, commented further, "The execution of this agreement results from the execution of the Board of Directors plan that we had implemented to move PAIVIS forward through mergers and acquisition for the future growth of the company, and ultimately for the enhancement of value for the PAIVIS shareholders. TRUSTCASH is a burgeoning company with a product that possesses immense potential; we feel this merger provides a great opportunity for our shareholders' growth prospects. We are very pleased with the valuation that we received from TRUSTCASH and feel it is fair for our shareholders. We look forward to the consummation of this transaction and moving forward rapidly to develop a path of success for the combined corporations."
The parties have agreed to use their best efforts to consummate the transaction by January 31, 2008, or as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon closing the combined entities would include Trustcash, Paivis, and Paivis's acquisition targets, Detroit Phone Cards, Inc, and AAAA Media Services, Inc. and produce a combined revenue stream of approximately $73,000,000 (unaudited).
The Merger Agreement, which includes all details of the transaction including the rights and preferences of the Issuable Shares will be filed by TRUSTCASH and PAIVIS as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as required.
