UV Flu Technologies Signs Distribution Letter of Intent
HIGHLAND PARK, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 8, 2014) - UV Flu
Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT) ("UVFT") has signed a letter of
intent with a distribution partner for the exclusive rights for
retail distribution of UVFT's FDA-cleared ViraTech™ UV-400 air
purifier that kills more than 99% of airborne bacteria. The
distributor has paid a non-refundable $25,000 deposit and the
distribution agreement is expected to close by April 21st.
Highlights of the proposed distribution agreement include:
- The distributor will buy UVFT's existing inventory valued
at approximately $200,000.
- UVFT to provide a minimum of 36,000 air purifier units
with a retail value of $14 million for the first year.
- Distributor will accept up to 50,000 units if UVFT and
UVFT's manufacturer can increase production levels.
- UVFT to invest approximately $30,000 in the prototyping,
testing and production of the RX300 air purifier unit
currently in development.
"The closure of this deal will be the culmination of months of
work and will powerfully launch UVFT into its next stages of
growth," stated Michael Ross, CEO for UV Flu. "The distributor will
be making a major commitment to the marketing of our product to
achieve steady sales, support increased production and drive
large-scale growth."
Ross noted, "Bringing the ViraTech UV-400 to mass market took
considerable effort from many parties. Working closely with our
manufacturer, GFL Lighting, we have been able to bring the
manufacturing cost of the UV-400 down 30 percent making it more
attractive to distributors and a mass-market consumer. Adding the
RX300 will further enhance our product line. The majority of the
development of the RX300 unit was completed over the last two years
and we were looking to secure a distribution agreement prior to
bringing it to market. We have already identified a partner
interested in assisting in the funding of the RX300 tooling
phase."
Ross stated, "Over the past months as the new CEO, three of my
major goals have been to reduce UVFT's cash burn by 70 percent,
eliminate debt and bring the company's flagship product to market.
This deal would complete all three of those goals."
