ADGIE news: Wednesday June 16, 8:03 am Eastern Time Company Press Release ADGI Announces Revenue Agreement with Venezuela HICKORY, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 1999--American Diversified Group, Inc. (OTC BB:ADGIe) announced today that its Internet telephony affiliate, Global Transmedia Communications Corporation (''GTCC''), Aventura, Florida has signed a further revenue agreement. The new revenue agreement was signed with a group of telecommunication companies in Venezuela (the ''Group'') to provide GTCNetLink services. The agreement calls for the purchase by the Group of 2.1 million minutes, increasing to 3.9 million minutes during the year. The minimum value of the contract is projected to be $780,000 and ADGI's affiliate expects significant revenue increases during the year as the value and quality of GTCNetLink and its cost savings are realized and penetrate the Venezuelan business community. GTCNetlink is a private subscriber-based calling network. Under the terms of the agreement the Group committed to purchase calling minutes from GTCC for resale to major multinationals, Venezuelan corporations and individuals. Additionally, the Group has committed to provide termination services for all calls coming from all of GTCC's worldwide calling destinations into Venezuela. This revenue agreement continues to add tremendous value to GTCC and its worldwide services. The agreement requires the guaranteed purchase of calling minutes each month in each city GTCNetLink is provided. Sales will commence in Caracas and will then expand to other cities in Venezuela. ADGI is very pleased with the addition of the Venezuelan local market as the traditional bulk of Venezuelan overseas calling is to the U.S. and Colombia, GTCC's first foreign market. GTCNetLink calling services continue to offer corporations and individuals the level of service and quality afforded by the public telephone network at significantly lower calling costs. There is a high volume of calling traffic that currently exists between these countries daily. It is the tremendous cost savings offered by GTCNetLink over traditional calling rates that ADGI projects capturing high volume calling not only terminated in the U.S. and Colombia, but the opportunity to capture significant calling traffic worldwide.
