Verde Media Biotech Division Announces Acquisition And Partnership With Butazyme - An Omega-3 Oil Producing Company

BOSTON, March 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Verde Media Group Inc. (OTC: VMGI) and its Biotech Division ("VMBD") announce they have entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire an initial 20% equity stake of Boston based Butazyme LLC, for $2.0 million USD.  VMBD has also established qualified terms with the company to jointly scale the platform technology.

Butazyme specializes in the microbial production of an alternative source of omega-3 oils, primarily, DHA and EPA. The global market for omega-3 is expected to reach $34.7 billion in 2016 with a continued accelerated growth rate over the next 5 years.  Butazyme's microbial platform competes favorably with both traditional and microbial methods of producing omega-3 oils. Butazyme's competitive advantages include the ability to convert multiple inexpensive feedstocks into omega-3 oils, capability of achieving high yields of DHA oils and the ability to rapidly deploy large scale production to meet growing demands. Butazyme has already achieved semi-pilot scale production of omega-3 oils at 1000-liter scale and is currently scaling to 25,000-liter process.

Dr. Abidi, Ph.D. CEO of VMBD stated, "The strategic acquisition of Butazyme and joint agreement to scale-up omega-3 oil production positions us well for the rapidly growing demand of omega fatty acids. Butazyme utilizes abundant, inexpensive and globally available waste organic materials to produce omega-3 oils, which is in line with our global licensing based business plan. Furthermore, the company is engaged in an oversea revenue generating demonstration scale-up project."
