Asantae Announces Results of Annual and Special Meeting

VANCOUVER, Aug. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Asantae Holdings International Inc. (TSX-V: JVA; "Asantae" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the Company's Annual and Special General Meeting (the "AGM") held on August 14, 2012, in Vancouver, Canada.

The Company is pleased to report that at its AGM the shareholders approved an ordinary resolution to set the size of its Board of Directors at four.  These directors are: The Honourable John D. Reynolds, P.C., The Honourable Larry Campbell, Daniel Lundell and newly appointed Terrel Transtrum.

Terrel Transtrum is an industry expert in network marketing.  From his start with Melaleuca in 1988 as Vice-President of customer service until now, he has assisted, launched and advised multiple network companies, and coached CEOs and presidents. Terrel has an accounting degree from Brigham Young University, law degree from the University of Idaho, and an LL.M. (Master in Tax Law) from the University of Miami.

Chairman Reynolds said, "Terrel's passion and commitment to excellence in network marketing, make him a valuable director and member of the Asantae team.  His depth of experience, contacts and leadership will contribute to the Company's strategic vision and operational objectives."

The Company also appointed Davidson & Company, LLP, Chartered Accountants, as its auditor with remuneration to be fixed by the directors.

In addition, at the AGM the shareholders also approved the continuation of its current share option plan.  This is the only equity compensation plan the Company has which allows for a maximum issuance of 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Plan").  The Plan has been established to provide incentive to qualified parties to increase their proprietary interest in the Company and thereby encourage their continuing association with the Company.  The Plan also provides that the options will be issued to directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.  The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer together will be the Administrator under the Plan until revoked by resolution of the Board of Directors.

The Company is also pleased to announce that, subsequent to its AGM, its Board of Directors appointed and/or reappointed the following Executive Officers: The Honourable John D. Reynolds, P.C. (Chairman of the Board); Daniel Lundell (Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer); and Pamela Egan (Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary).  Having played a key role in the Company's reorganization in 2011, Timothy F. Transtrum has stepped down as President to pursue other opportunities.  The Company appreciates his commitment and contribution to the Asantae 2.0 transformation.  Tim remains a member of the Company's advisory board.
