Consegna signs LOI with Cayman Islands Investment Company

Consegna Group Limited (ASX:CGP) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Letter of Intent with Triple A Holdings Limited of Grand Cayman, an investment company that in cooperation with Consegna, will roll out the global distribution of the BreatheAssist™ range of products.

It is the intent of the parties to enter into a definitive legally binding agreement on or before 30 September 2012 which will call for the payment of $5 million for a global license and guaranteed minimum 25% gross profit payments of $3 million on the second anniversary of the agreement, $5 million on the third, $7 million on the fourth and $10 million on the fifth to Consegna.

Triple A Holdings will be responsible for the funding of the marketing and distribution globally. The definitive agreement will contain a buy back option should the parties reach an agreement with a major global Pharma distributor that ensures Consegna maximizes the monetisation of BreatheAssist™ while meanwhile having its products marketed and distributed globally by Triple A Holdings from their own resources. Mutual due diligence is underway and upon signing of the definitive agreement, Consegna will have secured a solid minimum earning stream from Triple A Holdings.

Triple A Holdings is owned by a foreign institutional investor and full particulars of both the investor and the roll out timetable will be set out upon completion of the mutual due diligence effort and signing of the definitive agreement in a further announcement to all shareholders on or before 30 September this year. This announcement is being made to comply with ASX requirements and any earlier release of detailed information would, for commercial reasons of confidentiality, be premature until the parties have entered into the definitive agreement.

Consegna has entered into a separate funding Agreement with the Australian Special Opportunity Fund, LP, a New York-based institutional investor managed by The Lind Partners, LLC (together, “Lind”), allowing a maximum $5.675 million to be advanced to support all of Consegna’s projects. Consegna has negotiated flexibility with thisfacility so that other sources of capital can be utilised where advantageous to do so. Key aspects of the Agreement can be found below.
Consegna’s CEO, Mr Fabio Pannuti said, “We are delighted to be monetising BreatheAssist through the agreement with Triple A Holdings and look forward to completing the definitive agreement shortly. Whilst the transaction is subject to final documentation, mutual due diligence and the fulfillment of several regulatory requirements, on completion at 30 September it delivers our company $5 million of non-dilutive funding. It also delivers a capex moratorium on BreatheAssist and the opportunity to derive significant global royalty income whilst simultaneously preserving the opportunity for Consegna to participate in the proceeds of any future sale of this exciting product.

The previously announced Imugene-Linguet sale remains on track to complete July 17, 2012 and our discussions in Russia are progressing positively towards a significant and exciting joint venture to take our Aspen Medisys investment to the next stage of development. These transactions are delivering on our strategy and providing Consegna with a solid platform for significant incremental value to be added to our portfolio over the balance of this year.”

He continued, “We also welcome the flexibility that the facility with The Lind Partners provides, particularly as we know that the successful culmination of all of these activities demonstrates to the market a transformation of the Consegna Group from a development stage company to a license income and investment producing group that can look forward to enjoying the results of the monetizing of our products.”

The launch of the two of the BreatheAssist™ products will commence commercially globally in early 2013, commencing with the release of the BreatheAssist™ Elite Sports, initially targeting the cycling market followed by BreatheAssist™ Snore Relief, specifically designed to provide snoring relief for everybody! Fuller details will be provided upon the completion of the definitive agreement with Triple A Holdings.
