Marcos,
Not much info available as Eilat is a private BC company in turn owned by a Swiss based trust, the trustee of which is another trust based in New Zealand (see below), and has one director/representative on SKE's board. The name suggests an Israeli connection of some kind. I take comfort that in spite of Eilat's share position, Netolitsky and friends are operating the company and programs.

From the information circular last September:

Eilat is a private company existing under the laws of British Columbia. Eilat is not a Non-Arm’s Length Party under the policies of the Exchange. The sole shareholder of Eilat is the Advanced Property Trust, a Swiss based trust, the trustee of which is Equity Trust International Limited of New Zealand. As discussed below, all of the Consideration Shares received by Eilat under the Asset Purchase Agreement will be subject to the Pooling Agreement immediately following Closing.


Eilat's rep on the board is a Mr. Jean-Pierre Riffard:

Formerly Airline Pilot (July 2001 to April 2008) for Midwest Air Group/Skyway Airlines, Inc. (Wisconsin based airline) and (June 2008 to July 2010) for Delta Connection/Endeavor Air, Inc. (Minnesota based airline).





N/A






According to SKE's press release, it appears that Eilat is in breach of the agreement by lodging the first escrow release in an off shore tax haven instead of as agreed-in safe keeping with Netolitsky under a pooling agreement......don't know what Eilat was/is up to, but lodging shares in a dodgy off shore haven doesn't sound like they are an honourable group, so it is good that SKE is holding their feet to the fire immediately.........
