International Power Group, Ltd. Forms Board Committee for Strategic Review
April 26 2010 - 3:57PM
International Power Group, Ltd. (Pink Sheets:IPWG), a provider of
waste-to-energy solutions, including waste-to-energy development
and waste-to-energy technologies, announced today that its Board of
Directors has unanimously approved the formation of a new committee
of the Board to pursue the Company's strategic options, with regard
to a proposal from Green Energy Development, Inc. (GED), a company
formed by David R. Ames, of Ames Enterprises, Atlanta GA, to
acquire the Company through a merger for approximately $30 million
of stock that would be listed on the AMEX, NASDAQ or similar
exchange. Mr. Ames is the Chief Executive Officer of GED.
The Board committee consists of the Company's Chairman, Dr.
Daniel Conte, the Company's CEO, John Benvengo, Board member Jerry
Pane and Board member Robert Astore. The committee will negotiate a
formal merger agreement with GED and make a recommendation
regarding the formal merger agreement to the full Board of
Directors, as it considers the Company's financial and strategic
alternatives to enhance shareholder value.
The Board of Directors also has commissioned the services of an
independent valuation firm to determine the Company's fair
valuation, inclusive of the Koryclska, Poland project and other
opportunities available to the Company. The merger with GED will be
subject to an agreed-upon valuation and shareholder approval.
If approved, John Benvengo, IPWG's current CEO will become part
of GED's management team and continue his work with regard to the
Poland project and assist GED in the development of future
Waste-to-energy facilities world-wide.
CEO John Benvengo stated, "I believe the GED proposal brings
great value to the IPWG shareholders and will enable IPWG
shareholders to receive shares from a new entity that are fully
registered with the SEC and listed on a more prominent exchange
than we are on now. This will allow those shareholders who want to
participate as on-going shareholders in an exchange-listed company
to do so, and those shareholders who prefer to sell their shares to
have an active market in a new company to do so as well. I look
forward to working with the committee members to help bring this
transaction to fruition." Benvengo further stated, "GED is
strategically and financially positioned I believe to assist me in
fully executing on the Poland project we have worked hard to put
together. I also expect GED to afford me the ability to build
shareholder value in projects well beyond the current Poland
project."
