FORT MYERS, Fla., Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Yippy, Inc. (Pinksheets: YIPI) (www.yippy.com) ("Yippy" or the "Company"), providers of the world's fastest, family friendly educational search engine and web portal, reports today that in line with a previous public disclosure made on, April 25, 2011, the Company has entered into an agreement dated October 14, 2011 with Vivisimo, Inc., ("Vivisimo") for a debt to equity conversion of two promissory notes totaling $5,000,000.00 (Five Million) dollars. Yippy has also paid its accrued interest obligations in full.
The Company believes that the terms of the conversion negotiated are highly favorable for both shareholders and Company. 2.5 million Shares of restricted common stock are to be issued to Vivisimo at $2.00 per share to satisfy the Notes, which represents a very reasonable valuation of Yippy.
"Since May 31, 2011 the company has converted $5.7 million in Convertible Notes at $2.00 per share. I think that says a lot about our future outlook, and will make raising capital much easier as the Company has converted all material debt agreements on the balance sheet," stated Rich Granville, CEO, Yippy.
Granville continues, "Our business has been public two years this month. It's been a hard, tough road at times, but the people at the core of Yippy are giving it their all every day. We believe in what Yippy can be and expect Ad-tech NYC 2011 to be the launching pad for our products and Custom Search capabilities. I think the www.football.yippy.com project has opened many eyes to how powerful customized 'topic' oriented search products are. It is the quality of the results and our unique processes that make Yippy a superior product."
