Foods International Corp. (OTC:BRVOE.OB), a brand development and
marketing company that promotes and distributes vitamin- fortified,
flavored milks, announced today that the five institutional holders
of its Senior Convertible Notes who are parties to the Securities
Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2006, agreed to release
the Company from the events of default under the Senior Convertible
Notes that occurred as a result the Company's non-filing of its
Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006. On August
31, 2006, the Company entered into Amendment Agreements with all of
the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes, pursuant to which the
Company will issue Amended and Restated Notes in exchange for $15
million of the Senior Convertible Notes. The Amended and Restated
Notes provide that, for the period (a) from the earlier of (i)
October 10, 2006 and (ii) the date the approval of the Company's
stockholders to increase the Company's authorized common stock from
300,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares is obtained (b) through December
15, 2006, the holders may require the Company to redeem any portion
of the Amended and Restated Notes in cash at a price equal to 125%
of the amount redeemed. The Amended and Restated Notes also provide
that during the period between November 15, 2006 and December 15,
2006, provided the Company meets certain conditions, the Company
may request the holders to require that the Company redeem any
portion of the Amended and Restated Notes. In the event that a
holder exercises its right to redeem pursuant to a Company request
or fails to comply with a Company request for redemption, the
holder's right to any subsequent redemptions at the holder's
request shall terminate. The holders, pursuant to the Amended and
Restated Notes, agree that upon such holder's delivery of an
optional redemption request, such holder will waive certain debt
and equity restrictions applicable to the Company pursuant to the
financing documentation in connection with the Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2006. The Amended and Restated
Notes also provide that the conversion price applicable to such
Amended and Restated Notes has been reduced from $0.70 to $0.51.
