OLDSMAR, FL--(Marketwire - April 4, 2008) - Elysium Internet, Inc. (OTCBB : USBF ) (Pending
Name Change from US Biodefense), an emerging direct navigation Internet
Media Company, today announced that it has restructured its acquisition of
Canadian Internet Media and Technology Company Dice Ventures, Inc. Elysium
now owns 51% and Dice Ventures CEO Marco Janeczek owns the other 49% of the
Company. Elysium also finalized a new consulting agreement with Mr.
Janeczek.
Elysium Internet, Inc. Chairman and CEO Scott Gallagher commented, "Having
recently completed the liquidity event that resulted in Elysium Internet
becoming a stand alone public Company we've restructured our acquisition of
Dice Ventures and its CEO Marco Janeczek to better leverage the
opportunities of both organizations going forward. Elysium now owns 51% of
DV and will work with Mr. Janeczek's European partners including H-Farm on
future Internet and domain related projects in the US scheduled for later
this year. Marco will remain as CEO of Dice Ventures and manage its entire
domain portfolio and technology development and deployment. The combination
of Marco's team, domain portfolio and global resources coupled with our
domain portfolio, directory model and US resources we think will propel
Elysium to the forefront of the Internet media/domain business space."
Dice Ventures, Inc. CEO Marco Janeczek commented, "I am very happy to close
this transaction with Elysium. I believe that with Scott's experience in
the public equity markets and his passion for the Internet, both Dice
Ventures and Elysium Internet will become leaders in the domain name
monetization space, as well as build out exclusive single domain names into
stand alone money making businesses."
Marco Janeczek has been in the Internet business since the early days.
Founder of a number of startups, including Perfumes.ca, a competitive
player in the online fragrance arena, Euro Bit Consulting, a $2M dollar
company in the IT consulting business, and Bank Medical Center, a
17-physician and 52-staff medical center.
He has been a key player in the growth of Phone Pages, a Montreal-based
yellow pages listing telemarketing center, as the co-founder, bringing the
company to seven digit sales and pushing an exit strategy, at the same time
becoming the founder of a domain name business Planet Domains with 6500
domains.
Mr. Janeczek has been involved in a number of online firms and currently is
the CEO of Italy-based Zooppa.com and CEO of a European-based domain name
initiative all growing in H-Farm. Mr. Janeczek sits on the board of a
number of startup and Internet incubators/accelerators, including an
Italian-based fund h-farm, where he is the chief strategy officer and one
of the main players involved in financing startups and investments. He is
