CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 27, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- AuGRID Corporation
(Other OTC:AGRI.PK - News) announces it has engaged Baron Capital
Partners, LLC of Boca Raton, Florida, a full-service investment
banking firm, as its exclusive financial and acquisition advisor.
As AuGRID continues its organizational restructuring program,
under the guidance of ProPTC, a proprietary technology solution
for publicly traded companies, Baron will assist AuGRID in financial
decisions and development as well as identifying and qualifying
possible mergers and acquisitions. Baron is led by Greg Lustig,
who has over $6 billion of transactional experience including
over 100 mergers and acquisitions.
``This partnership together with the board's unanimously approved
reverse split, effective today, will allow for the company to
attract new equity funding as well as initiate a program to satisfy
some outstanding debt carried on the books in excess of 2 years,''
stated MJ Shaheed, President of AuGRID Corporation
The Board of Directors approved by written action a one-to-one
thousand (1:1000) split of the Company's common stock (a reverse
split). Understanding that a record date for the reverse split
is not necessary, the effective date is October 27, 2005. The
only condition to effectiveness that must be satisfied is the
passage of time. Pursuant to
rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
reverse split cannot be effective until ten (10) days after notification
to Nasdaq has been made of action taken by written consent. That
notice was given on or about October 6, 2005. AuGRID's is now
trading under the symbol AUGC.
AuGRID Corporation and its subsidiaries are technology-based
organizations.
