NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — AccelPath, Inc., a Delaware corporation (OTN:ACLP) announced today that it has further diversified its business by acquiring a 19% equity position in privately held Energy Innovative Products Inc., a Nevada corporation (EIP). AccelPath’s common stock is currently traded on the OTC Pink Sheets.

AccelPath and EIP have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of October 24, 2013, which will result in EIP becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of AccelPath. It is expected that the equity holders of EIP will become the holders of approximately 76% of the total outstanding capital stock, on a fully diluted basis, upon completion of the transaction. For accounting and financial reporting purposes under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the transaction is expected to be treated as a reverse merger. Management of EIP will become management of AccelPath upon completion of the transaction. A majority of the Board of Directors of the post-merger company will be represented by persons associated with EIP.

Scott Caputo, the President of Energy Innovative Products, states this transaction allows us to grow faster as we become a public company and allows AccelPath to diversify its business model. He goes on to say we will make this transaction our number one priority as we move to close this and embark on our business plan.

Gilbert Steedley, the interim CEO of AccelPath stated, “I am pleased that the transaction will allow us to diversify our business model and increase shareholder value. We are very optimistic about the business opportunities of Energy Innovative Products, its technology and management team and we will work together to get this transaction completed as soon as possible so the new management team can implement their business plan.”

The transaction will be undertaken in two steps. In the initial step, completed on Friday, October 25th, AccelPath acquired from EIP shares of Common Stock of EIP representing 19% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of EIP in return for 3,500 shares of a newly created Series I Preferred Stock of AccelPath. The Series I Preferred Stock will be convertible 120 after the closing of the merger into 14% of AccelPath’s common stock on a fully diluted basis and is redeemable by AccelPath at its issue price plus any accrued dividends. The transaction is intended to be a tax free merger under Section 368 (a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code and for accounting purposes, will be treated as a reverse merger. At the final closing of the transaction, AccelPath expects to change its corporate name to reflect the business operations of EIP. The parties expect to complete the merger within 120 days.
