River Hawk Aviation, Inc. (Pink Sheets: RHWA)("River Hawk")
announced today that it has completed a stock purchase agreement with
privately held Southland Holding Corp. ("Southland") that provides for
the sale of all of River Hawk's equity interest in its subsidiaries,
Puerto Rico based Eastern Caribbean Airlines Corporation and Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic based Viva Air Dominicana, S.A. The
agreement provides for the assignment of certain recorded liabilities
of the Company, having an aggregate value of approximately $1.25
million, to Southland. Additionally, Southland has assumed any damages
awarded against River Hawk in the outstanding litigation matter of
Ivan Figueroa versus Eastern Caribbean Airlines Corporation and Viva
International, Inc. (predecessor name of River Hawk Aviation, Inc.).
Calvin Humphrey, CEO of River Hawk, stated , "I am pleased to
announce that River Hawk has reached a sale agreement of its interest
in Eastern Caribbean Airlines and Viva Air Dominicana, which will
enable River Hawk to focus on its aviation business and in the process
strengthening our balance sheet. Our Board of Directors decided that
Eastern Caribbean and Viva Air did not fit the strategic business plan
of the Company and negotiations with the Southland group and their
predecessors were initiated."
Mr. Humphrey, further stated, "The Southland agreement removes a
number of obstacles that were blocking and inhibiting our path to
developing our business and access to capital. As such, I expect a
renewed sense of urgency and attention to our project; I look to
moving this organization forward."
