NEWS RELEASE
Vancouver,
B.C. August 22, 2002 - The Board of Directors of STRATEGIC INTERNET
INVESTMENTS, INCORPORATED, (the "Company") is pleased
to announce that the Company has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI")
with Ultra Information Systems Inc. ("UIS"), which
outlines the general terms and conditions of an agreement wherein
the Company can acquire up to a 51% equity interest in UIS.
UIS
is a Delaware corporation which has developed and owns the "Skyhook"
suite of software internet security products including: Ememo4u
- anonymous encrypted messaging/e-mail ; Summit - encrypted
video conferencing and chat; Glacier Server Security - an add-on
to UNIX and LINUX servers offering seamless integration with
existing systems and firewalls. The system has already been
deployed for the secure retrieval of electronic medical records
and BPTrade is using the system for online stock trading. The
products are unique in that the biometrics of the user can be
incorporated directly into the encryption keys. UIS's recently
developed, patent-pending "Anonymous Key Technology"
(AKT) offers the highest standards of security and integrity
in the transmission of confidential data at all points in the
electronic communications process combined with ease of use.
They can be deployed globally and do not require expensive security
management systems. UIS continues to build commercially viable
applications that are applicable in Government, the Airline
Industry, and virtually all areas of e-commerce communication
and data storage. UIS is positioned to become a major player
as heightened security issues dominate the global community.
A more detailed corporate description can be found on their
web-site: www.uisamerica.com.
The
LOI dated August 20, 2002 gives the Company the right to acquire
3,500,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares of UIS at a
price of $1.00 per share convertible on a 1:1 basis into common
shares of UIS under a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.
This Preferred Share purchase would represent an initial 30%
interest in the outstanding share capital of UIS. The Company
has also been granted the right, under specific anti-dilution
provisions, to maintain its 30% equity interest as to future
share issuance by UIS and the option, exercisable after 12 months,
to acquire additional equity interest in UIS up to a maximum
of 51% at the then current fair market value. In addition, upon
completing the initial preferred share purchase, the Company
will been granted a "First Right of Refusal" on any
future sale of UIS equity from the controlling UIS shareholders,
currently representing approximately 80% of UIS. The Series
A Preferred Shares will have voting rights equal to the equivalent
number of common shares.
The
terms of the Share Purchase are, $100,000 payable by September
1, 2002 and the balance of $3,400,000 on or before September
30, 2002. The September 30 closing can be extended upon the
payment to UIS of an additional $150,000 or, at the discretion
of UIS, and, thereafter, on a monthly basis as to similar terms.
Dr.
Lynn Spraggs, the Founder and CEO of UIS, will be appointed
to the Board of Advisors to the Company and will be granted
a total of 200,000 stock options of the Company at an exercise
price of $0.50 per share.
