Eco Ventures Group Announces Reverse Stock Split To Facilitate Financing

GROVELAND, Fla., May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Ventures Group, Inc. (OTCBB: EVGI) today announced that as a necessary component to facilitate a financing and its planned acquisition of a profitable, German alternative energy Firm, EVGI will seek to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to reflect a 1-for-40 reverse stock split of all its shares of common stock. 

The Company earlier today announced it has signed a binding LOI to acquire a German Firm which offers strong operational synergies for both companies. The EVGI Board of Directors has held advanced discussions with its investment bankers as well as potential principal investors to the Company's planned acquisition, and the consensus is that this reverse stock split will optimize EVGI's capital structure for a financing and is in the best interest of shareholders.

This reverse-split will be effective for Shares of record at the close of business on Tuesday May 29, 2012.  EVGI anticipates the reverse stock split will not require shareholder approval, and it intends to file an information proxy statement disclosing the reverse stock split details shortly. 

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 40 shares of issued and outstanding EVGI common stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. This will reduce the number of outstanding shares from approximately 90,023,648 to approximately 2,250,592.  All EVGI common stock options or warrants will be adjusted accordingly. The common stock will continue to be listed on the OTC Markets under the symbol "EVGI," but will trade under a new CUSIP number.
