- American Southwest Music Distribution, Inc. (OTCBB: ASWD) today announced that Ultimate Sports Entertainment, Inc. of Las Vegas has terminated its merger agreement with American Southwest. The Company has accepted the resignation of Matt Rose as CEO effective immediately and named Chris Lotito to the Board of Directors.
The original Merger Agreement called for completion of the transaction by
May 2, 2008 but had been extended by both sides to allow for the completion of due diligence and SEC filings. To date, American Southwest has not completed the required filings nor has the prior American Southwest management provided access to its corporate books and financial records.
"We did everything in our power to make this merger a success, including my taking the position as President and CEO of American Southwest," said Matt Rose. "Without the cooperation of those who agreed to move forward with the merger in the first place, we were left with no option but to terminate our agreement and now begin the task to find another OTCBB company in order to complete our financing. We at Ultimate Sports wish the shareholders of American Southwest nothing but the best."
