Esprit Financial Group Inc. (Esprit) (EFGO.PK) Sells Its Position in Mono Bank
6:00a ET April 13, 2007 (PR NewsWire)
Esprit Financial Group Inc. (ESPRIT) (formerly Cash Now Corporation - CHNW.PK) www.espritfinancialgroup.com announced that it has sold its position in Mono Bank PLC http://www.monobankplc.com a UK based investment bank.
Garr Winters, Esprit's CEO said, "The previous management originally anticipated that a small new bank such as Mono Bank could be used to offer back-end services for some of the new products being offered by Esprit, such as international funds clearing and the Forex currency exchange business. The acquisition of Global-Vision, and particularly the addition of Jack Chang to the Esprit management team, has made this relationship redundant."
Winters added, "Jack Chang is extremely well-respected in the Financial Institution sector, and brings a strong network of relationships that can better serve our interests. As head of the Company's Advanced Electronic Funds Transfer division, Mr. Chang is expanding Esprit's USA based banking relationships. He is also bringing new relationships to the Company with offshore banks currently providing back-office support for leading edge products such as the proprietary EM2 service, that facilitates a wide variety of international funds transfers."
Esprit plans to use the proceeds of the sale of Mono, as well as the previously announced sale of Global Vision, to retire corporate debt and partly to fund a share buy back program. These two separate dispositions could represent a share buyback of as much as several hundred million shares.
Mr. Winters concluded, "It is our aspiration to tighten the float in the long run, while we continue to build shareholder value through the recently launched financial services divisions which are highly complementary to our original core business and expertise."
