NEW YORK, 2012-09-06 19:28 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Human resource management software company HemiPhon PLC (Frankfurt:H3P) has
received a $US45 million financing commitment from New York City based MidOil
USA LLC. The agreement will be carried out over five years through investment
banking programs conducted by MidOil USA. HemiPhon intends to use the proceeds
of the financing to support its future global expansion.
As part of the agreement, HemiPhon's major shareholders have agreed to
contribute 300 million shares of HemiPhon stock. MidOil USA will utilize its
expertise and experience to hypothecate the shares to generate cash infusions
for HemiPhon's global expansion and growth.
HemiPhon plans to open an office in New York City to further assist in the
MidOil USA financing activities. An announcement will be made shortly detailing
the appointment of the new CEO chosen to lead the company's expansion into
North America.
HemiPhon Chairman Phil Jones said, 'The MidOil USA finance agreement is the
last plank in our expansion plans covering the next five years. Over the past
15 years, we have proven our software and delivery platform in Australia,
successfully competing against other global HRM software companies. We have
spent the last 12 months test-marketing in the USA, and are in discussions with
companies interested in buying or reselling our E-tivity range of HRM software
products.'
MidOil USA's financing activities will supplement the existing revenue from
HemiPhon's Australian business to fund expanded operations and acquisitions.
'HemiPhon is now ready to seek partnerships in the USA, Middle East and India
as a result of the MidOil USA financing agreement. We are pleased that a
financier like MidOil USA has shown confidence in our potential,' added Jones.
MidOil USA's Managing Director Vincent Crandon said, 'We are impressed with the
way in which E-tivity has successfully competed against the leaders in HRM
software in Australia. We see no reason why HemiPhon's product superiority
should not prevail in the larger markets of North America and Europe, as well
as the emerging Asian market, particularly countries like India.'
