The duPont Investment Fund 57289, Inc. Satisfies $7 Million Investment Agreement With SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. ( )
CLEARWATER, Fla., Nov 17, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) — SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. (OTCBB:SWYC) announced today the completion of the financial and business transactions that satisfies its previously announced Agreement with the duPont Investment Fund 57289, Inc. The original terms have been revised, including an increased role by the Fund in the identification of new business development (domestic and international) and investment opportunities.
Mr. R. duPont, stated, “I’m very pleased with my continuing relationship with SkyWay, and from a business perspective it made more sense to increase the Fund’s participation with SkyWay and to assist them in completing their full business requirements. To accomplish this goal, the duPont Fund recently funded a third party independent valuation of SkyWay, which concluded that with sufficient funding to implement their business plan, SkyWay could be valued at over $500 Million. With current outstanding shares, this translates SkyWay into a per share market value well in excess of what the market currently values SkyWay today”. Mr. duPont added, “My introduction of SkyWay to the Lantax Investment Group, has presented SkyWay with the opportunity to secure the funding required to complete their air-to-ground network and move forward with their commercial airline initiatives.”
Brent Kovar, President of SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. acknowledged, “I truly appreciate the sincere efforts of Mr. duPont on behalf of SkyWay, and all of its shareholders. SkyWay will definitely benefit from the increased participation of Mr. duPont and the Fund. In addition to funding the independent third party valuation, he was instrumental in introducing us to Lantax. As a result, we may soon have all of the necessary funds in place to resume our original schedule and complete our mission.”
