St. Louis, MiO (PRWEB) November 23, 2006 -- MVP Network, Inc. announced today that on November 22, 2006, MVP Network, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") to acquire MVP Network Online Games, Inc., a Nevada corporation doing business in Missouri ("MVP Online Games"). The acquisition will be facilitated by merging our newly created, wholly-owned subsidiary MVP Merger Corp., with and into MVP Online Games with MVP Online Games being the surviving entity (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, MVP Online Games will become our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Under the terms of the Agreement, we will effect, prior to the closing of the Merger, a forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock on a 4.177 shares for 1 share basis. The forward stock split will increase our outstanding shares of common stock from 25,539,267 shares to approximately 106,677,520 post-split shares. As consideration for the Merger, current holders of the 95,143,636 shares of outstanding common stock of MVP Online Games will receive 4 post-split shares of our common stock for each share of MVP Online Games common stock presently issued and outstanding. This will result in an aggregate of approximately 380,574,544 post-split shares of our common stock being issued to the current holders of MVP Online Games common stock. Since Paul A. Schneider, CEO of both MVP Network, Inc. and MVP Online Games, has agreed to cancel approximately 39,576,168 post-split shares of our common stock that he will receive in exchange for some of his MVP Online Games shares at the time of the closing (conditional upon the Merger being successfully consummated), the remaining 340,998,376 post-split shares to be issued to MVP Online Games shareholders in the Merger will then represent approximately 76% of our total 447,675,896 post-split shares to be outstanding immediately following the Merger. Current MVP Network, Inc. stockholders will retain approximately 24% of the post-split shares to be outstanding immediately following the Merger.
On November 22, 2006, our board of directors approved the execution of the Agreement with MVP Online Games and the actions anticipated thereby, including the forward stock split. The Merger and forward stock split were also approved by the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock by written consent. The effective date of the stock split will be established by our board for a date immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger with MVP Online Games.
The successful closing of the Merger is subject to various terms and conditions described in the Agreement, including the successful registration of shares of our common stock to be issued in the Merger. A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization has been attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 22, 2006. It can be accessed through the SEC's EDGAR database at www.sec.gov.
We expect the acquisition of MVP Online Games to be finalized in first quarter 2007. Following consummation of the Merger transaction, we will become engaged, through our subsidiary MVP Online Games, in the business of developing, publishing and distributing interactive media, specifically online video games. The current development focus of MVP Online Games is on multiplayer online casual sports video games that target the PC mass market.
