SUN Sports and Entertainment Inc. Trading Suspension Lifted
09 Noviembre 2009 - 12:08PM
Business Wire
SUN Sports & Entertainment Inc. (OTC: SUNR), a Mixed Martial
Arts (MMA) event promotion company, announced today that the 10-day
trading suspension imposed on the Company last month on October 21,
2009, has expired.
Last Friday, Bruce Scambler, a Company Director and spokesman,
said, “We have provided FINRA and the SEC with the information
requested and I’m happy to report that the suspension has been
lifted, however the Company will trade on Grey Market until we file
the appropriate application with FINRA for relisting on Pinksheets.
In the interim we have continued to take strategic steps to further
our plan of restructuring to transform the Company into a sports
and entertainment holding company, as announced in our September
14, 2009, Press Release. We now have two new Directors who have
agreed to join me on the Board, Mr. Fred Graves Luke and Mr. Donald
Lake, neither of whom has had any prior involvement with the
Company or business relationships with any of the former officers
and Directors of the Company, and we intend to engage the
independent CPA firm to prepare unaudited 2008 and 2009 financial
statements in accordance with GAAP before posting them with
Pinksheets.
“We’ve have reserved the names and hope this month to
incorporate and capitalize SUN Sports Inc., SUN Entertainment Inc.
and SUN Investment & Finance Inc., each to be wholly-owned by
SUN Sports and Entertainment Inc.,” said Mr. Scambler. “The SUN
Sports Inc. subsidiary, once the Sports Promotion License can be
transferred, will attempt to resume its Mixed Martial Arts
promotion activities, SUN Entertainment Inc. will hold the
Company’s Film Library and Trademarks and pursue Licensing
opportunities, and the SUN Investment & Finance Inc. subsidiary
will initially focus on action sports investments and financing
opportunities.”
According to Mr. Scambler, the formation of the SUN Holdings
Inc. subsidiary, intended to serve as the vehicle for the Company’s
planned expansion of its Mixed Martial Arts fight promotion
activities into foreign markets, is on hold. “Going into foreign
markets at this time, with everything else that we are dealing with
right now, is premature,” said Mr. Scambler. “Our immediate
attention needs to be on the completion of updated financial
statements, the re-listing on the Pinksheets and the relocation of
its new subsidiary in organization, SUN Sports Inc., in the Dallas
area, and the Company and the other subsidiaries in organization,
to new offices in Nevada, California and here in Oklahoma. In the
interim SUN Sports and Entertainment Inc. will continue to maintain
its principal office at 1300 N. Penn. Avenue, Suite 150, Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma 73120.”
Commenting on the recent suspension of trading in the Company’s
stock, Mr. Scambler said, “The apparent reason for the 10-day
suspension seems to the result of increased public interest and
trading in the Company’s stock following announcements made over
the last twelve months. I also believe that certain events over the
last year relating to litigation and disputes involving the
Company, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s
financial condition, need to be addressed now to put an end to the
rumors and possible investor confusion. First, last July, the
Company did not get its expected dismissal of the 2008 lawsuit
between the Company, as Defendant, and Mr. Buckeye Epstein, as
Plaintiff, over a $16,000 Employment Agreement dispute as it was
continued is now set for Trial in February 2010. Secondly,
the Company is currently attempting to settle a $500,000 loan made
to the Company related to the Art of War 3 - USA vs. Brazil fight.
Lastly, there are two recent disputes which do not yet involve the
Company in litigation: first, a Notice to Vacate issued to the
Lessee of the office space in Addison, Texas, which the Company
formerly sub-leased as its principal office, and secondly, a recent
dispute with a private equity investment firm over an agreement
which allegedly closed in November 2008, resulting in the Company
issuing shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and
$1,450,000 of 14% Convertible Promissory Notes in exchange for a
$5,000,000 equity investment which the Company never received.”
Commenting further Mr. Scambler said, “In addition, the Company
may have an issue relating to an agreement with Dish Network for
the purpose of re-broadcasting the Company’s Film Library using its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Sports Radio Event Network, Inc., which
may now have to be terminated unless Sports Radio can obtain the
necessary working capital. And, as a point of clarification, in the
September 14, 2009 press release the firm of Tatum LLC was reported
as being ‘terminated’ when it actually resigned from its engagement
for lack of payment.
“As previously stated in the September 14, 2009 press release,
our restructuring plan is very ambitious,” said Mr. Scambler, “but
achievable provided we have the support of our vendors and lenders,
and the required working capital financing. To date however we have
not been able to attract sufficient working capital to pursue the
whole of our planned activities as aggressively as we had hoped. As
a result I would like to forewarn those who may be considering
buying the Company’s shares in the future: an investment in the
Company’s shares at this point in time must be considered highly
speculative.”
