Gran Colombia completes acquisition of Wavve Gran Colombia Resources Inc GRM Shares issued 35,553,321 Sep 30 close $0.76 Fri 1 Oct 99 News Release Mr. Don Ford reports Gran Colombia has completed its previously announced acquisition of Wavve Telecommunications, Inc. As part of the transaction, Gran Colombia will be changing its name to Wavve Telecommunications, Inc. At a special shareholders meeting held on Aug. 31, 1999, the shareholders overwhelmingly approved the issuance of approximately 23 million shares in exchange for 100 per cent of the shares of Wavve. Wavve is a facilities-based provider of high-performance managed data and voice networking services providing physical and virtual hosting to e-commerce operations, commercial and industrial businesses and ISPs with critical internet operations. Wavve is located in Sacramento, Calif., and while it is a relatively new company, its management has almost 50 year's combined experience in telecommunications management, engineering and operations. Renovations to Wavve's corporate headquarters and first co-location centre in Sacramento are under way, with operations to commence this month. A marketing program has recently been initiated and a number of service agreements have already been executed, including one with Amalganet.com Inc., a provider of virtual ISP marketing services for affinity group dial-up users. At the request of the Toronto Stock Exchange, Gran Colombia advises that as a result of this transaction, the company will not meet the original listing requirements of the TSE as it is considered by the TSE to be a start-up situation. The TSE has, however, agreed to allow the common shares of the company to continue trading in the interim, allowing the company time to make alternative trading arrangements with another exchange. It is anticipated that the common shares will commence trading on this alternative exchange during October, 1999. The company will keep shareholders advised as to future markets for its common shares. (c) Copyright 1999 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com |
