ADVANCED MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC. ANNOUNCES ONE SHARE FOR TEN REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, NAME CHANGE TO ADVA INTERNATIONAL INC., AND STOCK SYMBOL Change to ADII COLUMBIA, S.C., Mar 14, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Advanced Medical Products today announced it has amended its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to change the name of the Company to "ADVA International Inc." (OTC Bulletin Board: ADII); to effectuate a 1 share for 10 shares reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company; to increase the amount of authorized Common Stock, following the effectuation of the Reverse Stock Split; and, to authorize a new class of Preferred Stock. The new stock symbol for the Company's common stock, effective immediately, is "ADII." According to a Company spokesman, the name change, the reverse stock split, and the authorization of additional common and preferred stock were implemented in order to position the Company for a possible reverse merger with a privately held company in an attempt to recover some value for the Company's present shareholders. On March 23, 1999, Advanced Medical Products, Inc. had filed a motion with the Federal Bankruptcy Court, District of South Carolina, for an order authorizing the sale of all assets, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and other interests, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 363 of the bankruptcy code. On May 11, 1999, the Company sold all of its assets. The Final Decree closing the bankruptcy case was issued by the Court on November 9, 1999. A committee has been appointed by the board to review possible candidates, but no merger agreement has been reached, and there can be no assurances given that a suitable reverse merger partner will be timely located, or that a suitable transaction will be successfully negotiated or completed.
