Marshall Holdings International, Inc. (OTCBB: MHLI) announced today that it and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marshall
Acquisition Company, Inc., and Rudy Nutrition have signed a Plan and
Agreement of Triangular Merger whereby Rudy Nutrition will merge with
Marshall Acquisition Company, Inc., with the shareholders of Rudy Nutrition
receiving in exchange shares of the common stock of Marshall Holdings
International, Inc., pending due diligence. Rudy Nutrition is the owner of
Rudy Beverage, Inc.
"Rudy Beverage, Inc. distributes 'Rudy,' an electrolyte enhanced vitamin
water which is a high-nutrition beverage with only 8 grams of sugar per 8
ounce serving along with several health benefits. We are thrilled about
the opportunity to partner with Rudy Beverage in bringing healthier,
low-sugar drinks to our retail customers," said Elwood Sprenger, Marshall
Holdings chairman. "We share Rudy Beverage's commitment to product
excellence and they fit well with Marshall's line of SOCKO energy drinks."
Rudy's(TM) formula contains half the sugar of most leading sports drinks
and vitamin waters, and provides high levels of electrolytes, sea salts and
natural vitamins and minerals. It utilizes the natural sweetener Xylitol
to replace high levels of sugar and fructose found in similar beverages.
Sprenger commented, "We believe this formula combination is a healthier way
to keep everyone from the all-star high school athlete to the weekend
warrior constantly energized. Its combination of electrolytes, vitamins,
especially B vitamins, and the use of L-Arginine and L-Carnitine help
revitalize and refresh the body. And, it tastes superior to its
competition."
Elwood Sprenger's resources and talents bring to Marshall Holdings
International, Inc. the distribution systems for its product lines, and
allow the company to expand its distribution of its beverage products.
Marshall Holdings' business objective is to manufacture and market the
company's products in such a way as to create value that can be sustained
over the long term for shareholders, employees, consumers, and business
partners.
