EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PPBL AND THE UPCOMING MERGERS AND ACQUISITION.
I do not post very much here but this is worth my time to write and for all to read since I am sure you are all wondering what the deal is.
After spending over an hour with CG on the phone I now understand the valid reason for the delay in closing the reverse merger.
The original intent was to close all of the companies at once in a reverse merger format which would have rolled back the outstanding
and the Triana Stores and Global Products Company would have been done right then and there along with the filings of the other
client companies which would be distributed to all of us as shareholders once approved by the SEC.
The path now is to close the Global Products/CYNnLuca deal first into an acquistion subsidiary very soon. Then since the SEC requires
that a new set of audited financials be filed on the combined entity on any change of control of the common equity.
The Triana stores which amount to 28 stores have over 150,000 pieces of inventory with a $6mm market value. The audit on the inventory
alone will take 3-4 weeks to reconcile its value to the the auditors for accurate representation in the financials.
Subsequent to the auditors completing the audit trail it the deal with the 28 stores will be completed and will be merged into the same
acquisition subsidiary as Global Products/ Cyn n Luca and the change of control will take place at that time and PPBL will become Global Fashion Group, Inc
He also mentioned that there are two other retail store groups that they are signing LOI's with but will not announce them until we
close the Global Products Inc. first.
The filing on LUMINx/Direct LED will be done in a few days and the filing on Flex Fuel Technologies will be done in late July.
These will all be distributed to us if we are shareholders of PPBL when they are approveed by the SEC
The fat lady has not sung yet but will be singing La Traviata shortly.
$PPBL ACQUIRING $10 million company NEWS:
Premiere Opportunities Group, Inc. Sets Date to Acquire Global Products Holdings, Inc.
TOTOWA, NJ, Apr 25, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Premiere Opportunities Group, Inc. (OTCQB: PPBL)
(OTCBB: PPBL) www.premiereopportunities.com has set the week of May 20th for the closing of the acquisition
of Global Products Holdings., Inc. which business combination will occur in a reverse merger transaction.
Global is a fully integrated design, apparel and manufacturing company based in NYC and is the owner of eleven
proprietary labels. Global will combine the experience of a world class team of managers along with its cutting edge
labels to maximize the potential of its proprietary brands.
Global is the owner of several brands such as E Sleep, IntiMacy's, and Cyn and Luca (www.cynandluca.com),
its swimwear line, which is distributed through Macy's, Bloomingdale's and several other retail outlets throughout
the USA. Global's plans are to expand as well as debut several of its proprietary brands in 2012 through its
existing relationships with major retailers throughout the US and Asia.
Global Products Holdings, Inc., with the inclusion of the 28 retail stores it is set to acquire in Korea, will have
combined sales of over $10,000,000 while also being cash flow positive. The retail stores will be part of the global
strategy of bringing the convergence of manufacturing and retail distribution under the same umbrella to
maximize profitability for Global Products Holdings, Inc.
Chris H. Giordano, Premiere's Co-Chairman, stated, "We have completed our due diligence by having a member
of our M & A team spend the time necessary in Korea in order to potentially fold the 28 store retail chain under
the Global umbrella. We are very satisfied with our teams findings and are very enthusiastic about the 'manufacturer
direct to retail store' model which will exponentially increase the profit margins on products that can be
distributed in this manner.
"Globally, the apparel manufacturing industry dwarfs the $14 billion US industry, with global export revenue
alone topping $315 billion with China controlling a third of the world market. The opportunities for Global
Products Holdings, Inc to distribute its cutting edge designs globally as well as here in the US is with great
merit due to existing relationships it already maintains in both the US and overseas.
"Furthermore, now that we are moving toward a closing with Global Products Holdings, Inc., we would like
to reiterate that it is our intention to maximize shareholder value in this transaction as well as for the future
of Premiere's shareholders by separating the reverse merger transaction from Premiere Opportunities Group.
This will be accomplished by spinning off the assets which are held already by Premiere into a separate public company.
"Henceforth shareholders will own shares of Global Products Holdings as well shares of the 'new Premiere
Opportunities Group, Inc.' Going forward this will allow shareholders the ability to receive their proportionate
share of equity in any companies in which we already hold an equity stake in or would develop such equity in.
"In order for a shareholder to receive shares in such companies you would have to be a shareholder of Premiere
on the date that each individual client company files its S-1 registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
"We are continuing to develop this model by rendering advisory services to private sector companies that are
looking for a public venue and/or advice as it relates to M&A, Global Strategy, IPO Planning as well as Restructuring
and Vendor Mediation planning in exchange for cash and equity in their respective companies. At the moment we are
in both early and late stage discussions with several companies and we look forward to reporting back to our
shareholders as events allow us to.
"We are very enthusiastic about our business model as we look to the future for Premiere and its shareholders."
Forward Looking Statements Because the Company intends to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions readers regarding forward looking statements
found in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on the behalf
of the Company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward looking statements

Bill Jemas-Board of Advisors
Bill Jemas began his career as a Tax and Corporate Associate for the New York Law Firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett after
graduating Rutgers College in 1980 with a Bachelors of Art and then Harvard Law School with a Juris Doctor in 1983.
Mr. Jemas then went to work for the National Basketball Association during the league's most explosive period of exponential
growth - from 1985 through 1992. Starting in a two-man legal department of the then modest 36-person league office, he: (i) set
up the first formal systems for licensing team trademarks and player likenesses; (ii) drafted several hundred agreements encompassing
merchandising li-censing, promotional sponsorship, television rights, arena rental and franchise transfer agreements; and (iii)
maintained each team's Salary Cap data, reviewed and approved every player contract and administered the NBA Collective Bargaining
Agreement with players and referees.
As the lead attorney for the league's expansion to Charlotte, Miami, Minnesota and Orlando, Mr. Jemas designed the NBA's
business model for an ideal franchise, including optimum television and venue deals along with mandatory, pre-sold season ticket quotas.
Mr. Jemas took over the NBA's trading card business in 1989, when the league had just one licensee, $500k in annual sales and
$30k in annual royalty income. Unable to secure a license from any existing trading card companies, Bill started up Propel - a joint
venture in which the NBA managed the development, manufacture and marketing of NBA cards while a partner, Impel - a candy and
tobacco company - handled sales and distribution. (At that point in time, every NBA product - including trading cards - had been
produced through third-party licenses, with the NBA participating on a relatively passive basis).
Bill's team and Propel launched the Skybox trading card company and the NBA HOOPS card brand. In their first two years, Skybox
and HOOPS generated over $25 million in royalties (and another $25 million in joint venture profit participation). Then, after establishing
industry credibility through Propel, Bill's team generated the two largest merchandise licensing-sponsorship promotion deals in NBA
history, licensing both the Upper Deck and Topps companies to produce NBA cards and collectibles.
In 1992, Mr. Jemas left the NBA to start up an entertainment card division for Fleer Corp., a division of the then Marvel Entertainment
Group. This new department took the trading card industry by storm, negotiating multi-property licensing deals with top entertainment
companies, including Viacom, Fox Kids and Warner Brothers.
After rejuvenating his comic, licensing, promotion and online divisions, Bill was promoted to Operating Officer. Overall he helped erase
over $250 million in debt and raise the company's stock price from under $2 per share to over $30. And, most importantly, he recruited
a new wave of top executive talent and successfully integrated them into the company's operations.
With Marvel Enterprises back on its feet, and boredom sinking in, Bill left Marvel to start up 360ep and to serve as its Chief Executive
Officer. Initially, Bill will set up operations and establish media partner relationships. His long-term focus will be directing creative
development toward trade and consumer demand.

Premiere Publishing Group, Inc. to spin off its Bold Acquisition Corp. subsidiary
TOTOWA, NJ, Jan 21, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Premiere Publishing Group, Inc. (OTCQB: PPBL) (OTCBB: PPBL), in keeping with its posture
of increasing shareholder value, is expecting to spin off its Bold Acquisition Corp. subsidiary.
Chris Giordano, Co-Chairman of Premiere Publishing Group, Inc., stated that "We expect to file within the second quarter an S-1 registration
statement which will allow us to spin off the Bold Acquisition Corp. subsidiary to our shareholders.
"Bold Acquisition Corp., Inc. will be using its platform as a standalone public company to seek out other opportunities in the media space which
could include but not be limited to magazine publishing companies, movie libraries, sound byte libraries as well as other opportunities in the category.
"We also are exploring some opportunities for our Bold TV division as well. The critical success of the flagship show 'WHO THE HELL IS DAN BRUDER?'
has led us to explore some additional programming opportunities that we hope to have closure on in the not too distant future.
"We will be aggressively utilizing the experience and expertise of our team here at Premiere to help finance these opportunities as they present themselves.
"The market is right for the acquisition of certain properties and we have done some exploratory canvassing which led us to discussing the potential of
operating sound byte libraries and movie libraries that could be purchased for as little as 2-3 times EBITDA.
"The market for such properties is very depressed and now is the time to try and pursue the acquisition of such companies and or li-braries. The market is
very fragmented and shows great promise to implement a 'Roll Up' strategy to increase the overall value of the venue rather than relying strictly on
'organic growth.' We feel these acquisitions can be accomplished utilizing a combination of cash, mezzanine financing and equity.
"Rather than have Premiere Publishing Group, Inc. finance those opportunities directly and dilute the common stock at this time we feel it is much more
prudent and efficient to use the stand-alone equity of the Bold Acquisition Corp., Inc. subsidiary to finance these opportunities when they present themselves."
