Company Plans to Spin Off Client Companies in the Healthcare, Energy and Services Sector
TAMPA, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 5, 2007 -- VitalTrust Business Development Corporation ("VitalTrust" or the "Company") (OTC BB:VTBD.OB - News) today announced the Company had completed its organizational Board Meeting and approval of its business model.
Held at the Company's headquarters in Tampa, Florida, the Company's Directors held a Special Formation Meeting on Friday, March 2, 2007 during which three outside and two inside Directors were appointed. In addition, the Company created its Audit, Compensation, Investment and Governance Committees and will be making Committee Member appointments in the coming weeks. During this Special Formation Meeting, the Board also approved the Company's operating business model. Initial Members of the inside Board include Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Charles Broes, Director and Chief Operating Officer Mark Clancy. Initial Outside Board Members include Mr. Robert Snibbe, Mr. David Hood and Ms. June Nuckols. The Company intends to have a total of five outside and four inside Directors.
The VitalTrust business model foresees the Company providing management and finance to small, primarily private US companies. As a part of the compensation, client companies will issue 10% ownership to VitalTrust plus investment equity. At a point in time when the client company achieves positive earnings and cash-flows, VitalTrust will distribute 5% of its holding to the Company's shareholders of record and will retain 5% in the Company's portfolio. In a format typically referred to as a spin-off, VitalTrust will register the stock issued to shareholders as well as any shares owed as a result of financing and initiate trading through an NASD registered firm. Typically, VitalTrust will seek to accept client companies which can be spin-out candidates within a six to eight month window.
VitalTrust currently has active projects in the healthcare, energy and services business sectors. During the coming two weeks, VitalTrust will introduce the Company's initial slate of client companies and indicate which are spin-out candidates during the current calendar year.
