Optum Health Ltd (“OPM”)
advises that it has entered into an agreement with Wavtech Pty
Ltd (“Wavtech”), its co-venture partner in Optum E.S. Pty. Ltd
(“Optum ES”), in relation to the shares and shareholding in that
company.
Optum ES is the operating company for the co- venture and holds
the Australasian rights to the US based TerraSan and MariSan
water treatment and recycling technologies. Under the current
shareholding structure OPM holds an 80% equity in Optum ES and
Wavtech a 20% carried interest.
Under the terms of the new agreement the shareholding in Optum
ES will be re-arranged such that Wavtech will hold an 85% equity
and OPM a 15% carried interest.
As consideration for the re-structure, Wavtech will pay a cash
payment to OPM of $800,000 (eight hundred thousand dollars). OPM
will further receive a gross sales royalty of 3% on all TerraSan
and MariSan systems sold or leased by Optum ES from the date of
the Agreement until 30 June 2008.
OPM has decided on the new shareholding structure and royalty
arrangement so as to give more specific project direction to and
financial focus on its rapidly growing search-engine and online
media divisions. The Company intends to announce a more detailed
update on the current activities, progress and growth
projections of Ansearch duing the coming
week.
The Company believes the restructure will provide considerable
benefits to the Company and its shareholders and create an
increased market appeal and awareness. OPM can now more
singularly direct its financial, corporate and marketing
energies to the business expansion and revenue growth of Ansearch, its associated
search-engine brands
and products and to its related online media interests.
The Company will be able to actively pursue this direction while
continuing to maintain a presence in the potentially lucrative
water re-treatment industry through its retained equity in Optum
ES and with the substantial up-side provided by a gross sales
royalty.
