ATNG Signs Letter of Intent Business Editors FENTON, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ATNG-- ATNG, Inc. (OTCBB:ATNG) announced today that it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) for a strategic alliance and acquisition of 1st US Holdings and 1st US Insurance. The "Strategic Alliance" documents are being drawn up according to the LOI and should be effective by 12/07/2003. A funding commitment of $150,000,000 has been received from R3X.Net, Inc. of Ann Arbor, MI. The closing date for the required funding is anticipated before or during the 1st quarter of 2004. Once 1st US is profitable and ATNG's legal situation is managed the acquisition will be completed. Although we have a funding commitment from R3X.Net, Inc., ATNG, Inc. cannot guarantee receipt of funds. According to 1st US CEO, Mr. Matthew Jennings, "The Company is in the development stage but should achieve profitability soon after licenses are transferred in. Once funding is secured we can proceed rapidly to be fully operational. We have tentative commitments for over $22,000,000 in premiums and are focused on completing these and other transactions." 1st U.S. Insurance Corporation has initiated a consolidated roll-up plan calculated to capture several non-operating insurance company shells with aggregate insurance licensure in approximately 40 states. 1st US Insurance has recently reached agreement with R3X.Net, Inc. of Ann Arbor, Michigan to provide up to $150 million over 12 months to complete the roll-up and fund operations in the pre-revenue stage.
