BETHESDA, Md., June 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TNI BioTech, Inc. (TNIB, the "Company") (OTCQB: TNIB) announced today that effective as of the opening of business on Monday June 10, 2013, the Company will require the mandatory exchange of all existing common stock certificates issued with or under any prior CUSIP number for new stock certificates with the new CUSIP number 872608203. 

The mandatory share certificate exchange is to resolve issues affecting the settlement of trades in the Company's common stock, provide clarity and uniformity in the market place and to ensure the security of all legitimate shareholders of the Company.  After the mandatory share certificate exchange, the management of the Company anticipates that any confusion or inconsistency with the processing of certificates by brokers or clearing agents should be resolved.

The correct and current CUSIP number 872608203 was issued by the S&P CUSIP division on May 28, 2013 and has been communicated to the market place today, Friday, June 7, 2013.

The company hereby requires that all persons, corporations and/or other legal entities in possession of stock certificates bearing the original CUSIP numbers in the original names of Galliano International Ltd. (363816109), Resorts Clubs International, Inc. (761163-104 / 203 / 302), PH Environmental Inc. (69338E107) and TNI BioTech, Inc. (872608104) must tender these certificates immediately to the Company`s stock transfer agent Direct Transfer LLC to exchange for certificates depicting the name TNI BioTech, Inc. and the current CUSIP number 872608203.  All new certificates will be issued with the same legend as the presented certificates.

The exchange will be a 1 for 1, with the stipulation that the old certificates with the old company names, CUSIP numbers and design, will be void, and shall be worthless, non- transferable and non-tradeable in any public or private market or exchange beginning June 10, 2013, and shall have no value except for the right to be exchanged for new certificates.

Persons who currently hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" are required to present their common stock certificates if still in certificated form.  To complete this mandatory exchange, shareholders must surrender or direct their broker to surrender their old stock certificate(s) to the Company's transfer agent, 
Direct Transfer LLC.  Direct Transfer LLC's contact information is:

Direct Transfer LLC
500 Perimeter Park Drive Suite D
Morrisville, North Carolina 27560

Upon receipt of the old certificate, the transfer agent will issue to holders a new certificate with the same number of shares but bearing the name TNI BioTech, Inc. with the updated CUSIP number.

Stockholders will not receive new stock certificates until they have turned in their old stock certificates to the transfer agent.  TNI BioTech, Inc. will cover the fee for issuing the new certificates. As a result of the stock certificate exchange, all trades in the Company's common stock made after the close of business on June 7, 2013, can be delivered only with stock evidenced by certificates bearing the name TNI BioTech, Inc. with new CUSIP number 872608203, as the old CUSIP number will cease to be eligible for trading.
