Organetix Chief Executive Seth M. Shaw Issues Letter to Shareholders on Current Status of Financing Activity and Definitive Agreement with KidFitness, Inc.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Organetix, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: OGTX) Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Seth M. Shaw, has issued the following communication to shareholders, in response to numerous inquiries about the status of the definitive agreement with KidFitness, Inc.
Dear Shareholders,
On August 13, 2007 Organetix entered into a definitive share exchange agreement ("definitive agreement") to acquire a 100% interest in New York- based media firm KidFitness, Inc. ("KidFitness"). Since then I have worked very closely with the management of KidFitness towards establishing a reliable roadmap to satisfy the closing terms set within the definitive agreement. I have the greatest respect for the management of KidFitness and their commitment to building both a strong national brand and a viable solution to combat childhood obesity. Through a previously announced partnership with The United Way, the KidFitness "Fun Fitness Break" will be provided with the assistance of corporate sponsors (free of charge) to public school classrooms K through 5th grade across the country. This represents an unprecedented branding opportunity, as millions of public school students are expected to exercise -- every day for 7 minutes -- to the KidFitness branded content. We expect this to translate into extremely lucrative licensing opportunities for KidFitness, including leveraging the brand equity into multiple product lines.
It is important to discuss the status of the definitive agreement, signed by both Organetix and KidFitness on August 13, 2007. There are various closing terms set fourth in that agreement, the most significant of which is the completion of a $7 - $12 million private placement by Organetix. The purpose of this capital raise is to provide KidFitness with the requisite working capital to improve existing content and aggressively pursue revenue generating partnerships and licensing agreements. Despite current weakness in the share price of Organetix, I remain confident that Organetix will successfully complete this private placement at terms that are reflective of the value of KidFitness. Raising capital is about proving the fundamental value of a business to both sophisticated institutional investors and accredited individual investors. It is the responsibility of management to sell its vision to the investment community and create shareholder value moving forward. Recently, there have been a number of constructive meetings with institutional investors and ongoing negotiations are currently taking place, with respect to potential financing terms.
My short term goal is to provide the shareholders and prospective institutional investors with a better understanding of the fundamental value of KidFitness, as a business opportunity. I am working diligently with the KidFitness management team to provide the public with meaningful updates, to better establish valuation criteria for the Company. Under terms of the definitive agreement, Organetix has until the middle of November (2007) to satisfactorily meet its closing obligations. This should provide the Company with sufficient time to overcome inherent market volatility and properly demonstrate the value of the enterprise. I believe the KidFitness' business model represents a compelling opportunity to create shareholder value in both the shorter and longer terms. I greatly appreciate the continued support of our shareholders as we work towards completing the transaction in a timely manner.
Sincerely Seth M. Shaw Interim President & CEO, Organetix, Inc.
In addition, KidFitness CEO Paul Neville, added the following statement: "I am fully committed to completing this transaction with Organetix and creating value for shareholders of KidFitness. I will work very closely with Mr. Shaw and his management team in exposing the significant value of KidFitness to the investment community. I am very excited about the business opportunities that lie ahead for KidFitness."
