(OTC Bulletin Board: NGWY.OB - news) announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement with King William, holder of a $2.5 million convertible note, to convert the note into common stock of Netgateway, a $400,000 unsecured non-convertible note of Netgateway and a one time payment of $100,000. King William will forgive the $400,000 promissory note upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Under the new agreement, King William will be issued approximately 2.8 million additional shares of Netgateway, bringing its total holdings in Netgateway to approximately 10%. If 2.8 million shares are issued the transaction would value them at approximately $.75 per share.

Said Netgateway Chairman and Chief Executive, Don Danks, "I am excited to have the opportunity to eliminate this debt and believe that this agreement speaks to the growing confidence our debt holder has in the future of Netgateway. I think this makes clear they see Netgateway as a viable company with a great deal of potential for future growth. They will now join fully Netgateway's existing shareholders as equity stakeholders and the company believes they will be supportive of management's efforts to grow the company and seek recognition by the market of its full value." Danks added, "This agreement creates a definitive capital structure and should bring a greater level of stability and certainty to the value of Netgateway stock because the risk of substantial dilution through conversion of the debenture will be eliminated. This is a terrific development for the company and all of its shareholders, including King William. This agreement should also make it easier for the company to obtain additional capital to finish cleaning up its balance sheet and for working capital. We can now redouble our efforts to build revenues, become even more profitable and broaden the market for the Company's stock."
