PRESS RELEASE:
SAKL
Continues Efforts to Restructure Debt
SALT
LAKE CITY, UT – December 5, 2016-
Sack Lunch Productions,
Inc. (OTC PINK: SAKL), recently issued its Q3 report which disclosed that
it has fallen behind on certain payments owed to creditors. At the time of the Q3 report, there was not a
formal notice of default.
Based
upon a letter received on November 23, 2016 which provided for a 10 day cure,
SAKL as of today SAKL is in default under the terms of its loan agreement with TCA
Global Credit Master Fund LP (“TCA”) as a result of falling behind on its
payment obligations to TCA during the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company is involved in ongoing discussion
with TCA regarding curing the defaults which includes bringing the Company into
compliance with the agreements between the parties.
The company is also in discussions with two other
larger creditors Midland IRA Inc. FBO Arthur Wulf Roth IRA is due in the amount
of $199.638.35 as of September 30, 2016 as well as a note with Tangiers Global
LLC for $240,000.
The company is currently in offseason. However, sales for 2017 will commence in
January on a large scale. In January of
2016, the company sold approximately $1.2M in tickets. January is typically a high sales month with
relatively low expenses.
Richard Surber, CEO, commented “Our event companies
are in the process of retooling marketing methods as well as making improvements
to operations. I believe that sales on
the low side would be about $1.2M in January 2017. However, we have plans to initiate a new marketing
strategy which involves installing new management. The potential incoming new management has
stated that they believe that with their marketing methods ‘sales in January
will hit the $3M mark’ more than doubling prior year sales.”
Mr. Surber, added “New management
would bring in new events that would be acquired by SAKL. Beyond improved sales with our existing
events, I am personally working with investment bankers for the capital to
acquire the new events as well as refinance existing creditors.”
Mr. Surber continued “We are also
in what I believe to be the final stages of completing audited financial statements
which will allow for the filing of a Form 10 registration statement. The cost overages and delays were a
distraction in 2016 that we hope to avoid coming into 2017. SAKL nor any of its shareholders that hold
restricted stock may rely on Rule 144 to resell stock into the open market
until we are fully reporting. Insiders
are prohibited from selling shares into the open market unless the shares are
registered or Rule 144 becomes available which would be 12 months after the
effectiveness of a registrations statement on Form 10. As it stands now, none of the creditors
listed above may resell shares into the open market.”
Mr.
Surber, concluded “We are staying the course with regard to bringing SAKL fully
reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Furthermore, I believe that it is in our
creditor’s best interest to continue working with the company into 2017 when
sales will recommence and will allow us to cure delinquent payments. With the prospects of opening more Lantern
Fest events, and the acquisition of new profitable events, I believe that SAKL is
on the precipice of great things in 2017 provided we get over what I believe to
be a temporary.”
