ALPHARETTA, GA--(Marketwired - Feb 21, 2014) - American Premium Water Corporation, "APWC" (OTC Pink: HIPH) (OTC Pink: HIPHD) is excited to provide the following update to the investment community and our shareholders. In order to achieve the Corporation's vision and business plan of Marketing, Promoting and Branding L'Alpina 9.5pH alkaline water in glass and other brands with both higher and lower pH levels and packaging as to corner a market that is virtually untapped.
In August, 2012 Alfred Culbreth took over the operations of what was then known as the defunct Expert Group, Inc. ("the company") as the CEO. Ever since that point he has continually invested his own capital towards the growth and success of APWC. The previous share float was the result of former management of "the company" and not reflective of APWC's model. Alfred Culbreth stated in a Press Release in mid-2013 and went on record stating: "that there would be no reverse/split in 2013." Alfred Culbreth in fact stayed true to his word. The share structure was not changed. After seeking counsel on the direction, success, growth and model for APWC it was realized that with the previous share structure this would be an impossibility and would thwart efforts towards our vision.
The reduction of shares will put APWC in a stronger position to grow shareholder value, attract institutional investors and conduct M&A activities.
