NEW YORK, Nov 12, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kevin Kreisler, chairman and chief
executive officer of GreenShift Corporation, issued a letter to the shareholders
of GreenShift and its subsidiaries on November 9, 2007 that provided an update
on GreenShift's restructuring and recent growth.
This announcement is to provide an outline of the specific impact of the steps taken to accelerate the completion of GreenShift's restructuring on the
shareholders of GREENSHIFT CORPORATION (GSHF).
Additional detailed background and other information pertaining to the
disclosures that follow are provided in GreenShift's November 9, 2007
shareholder letter, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on a Form 8K by GreenShift and its subsidiaries and will be available on the
SEC's EDGAR website the morning of November 13, 2007. The letter is currently
available on GreenShift's website at www.greenshift.com.
IMPACT ON GREENSHIFT SHAREHOLDERS
-- Cancellation of Pending Mergers
The two previously announced GS AgriFuels - GS Energy and GreenShift - GS
CleanTech mergers were canceled as of November 9, 2007.
-- Transfer of GS AgriFuels and GS Energy to GS CleanTech
On November 9, 2007, GreenShift transferred its 60% stake in GS AgriFuels and
80% stake in GS Energy to GreenShift's 80% owned GS CleanTech. GreenShift
received no consideration in return for these transfers to GS CleanTech.
-- Distribution of GS EnviroServices and GS Energy Shares to GreenShift
Shareholders
GreenShift will distribute 2,000,000 shares of its common stock in GS
EnviroServices and 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock in GS Energy to the
minority shareholders of GreenShift. These distributions will be completed as
soon as possible but in any event within the next 45-60 days.
-- Distribution of GS CleanTech Shares to GreenShift Shareholders
GreenShift will convert out of its preferred stock in GS CleanTech into GS
CleanTech common stock and then distribute 100% of its 80% stake in GS CleanTech
on a pro-rated basis to all of GreenShift's shareholders. This distribution will
be completed as soon as possible after GS CleanTech's pending 1:50 reverse stock
split becomes effective, which is hoped to be within about 45-60 days.
-- GreenShift's Holdings After These Transfers and Distributions
GreenShift will cease to have any direct ownership interest in GS CleanTech, GS
Energy, GS AgriFuels or GS EnviroServices at the conclusion of the above
transfers and shareholder distributions, but will retain its 80% stake in GS
CleanTech until these shares can be distributed to GreenShift's shareholders -
i.e., as soon as possible after GS CleanTech's reverse stock split becomes
effective.
-- Amount and Current Value of The Shares That Will Be Distributed To GreenShift
Shareholders
The holders of GreenShift stock as of the record date for each of the GS
EnviroServices, GS Energy and GS CleanTech distributions will receive shares in
each company based on the number of shares owned in GreenShift as of the
applicable record date. A holder of 10,000 shares GreenShift common stock as of
the record date for each distribution will receive the equivalent of about
50,200 (pre-split) shares of GS CleanTech, 50,000 shares of GS Energy and 100
shares of GS EnviroServices.
The following chart shows the total value of these distributions to a holder of
10,000 shares of GreenShift common stock at recent market prices as if the
distributions were each completed today; the GS CleanTech shares are shown on a
pre- and post-split basis:
