Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EVGI) announced on September 12, 2011 that it has received a firm letter of commitment from a private funding group financing its business plan through a strategic partnership. The commitment letter provides for $15.3 million in funding for the Company in the form of a three-year loan bearing eight percent (8%) interest. The loan will be secured by the assets of the Company. In addition, the Company’s new partners will acquire approximately 20% of the Company through the purchase of preferred stock at $2.50 per share. Upon full conversion of the preferred stock they will receive 11,760,000 shares of common stock. These shares are currently being held in escrow and there will be no further dilution to our shareholders as a result of this funding. The partners will also participate in a profit sharing agreement for 12 months after the loan is repaid. Included in this partnership is an exclusive three-year contract to purchase the gold that Eco Ventures Group is expecting to extract from the ore deposits it currently has under contract.
The full text of the Press Release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Press Release will also be posted in the Investor Relations section of our website (www.ecoventuresgroup.com) under News for a minimum period of 14 days following the date of release.
