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.
