Message from the Chairman
Dear
Friends,
As
you may be aware, over the last year I have been actively searching for
a strategic alliance to ensure our combined growth and prosperity. The
goal was to find a company that would be compatible with Matol's values
and culture.
After
an extensive search, I am very proud and pleased to announce that
Univera, Inc. has entered into a binding agreement to acquire specific
assets and the Distributor network of Matol Botanical International Ltd.
Univera is a perfect fit for Matol. I know that they will continue
Matol's tradition of high standards and ethics bringing about a brighter
future for all Matol Distributors.
Founded
in 1999, Univera is headquartered in the United States and formulates
consumer health products from the research, discovery, quality crops,
and manufacturing provided through the global ECONET, Inc. - an
ECOlogical and ECOnomic global NETwork of companies dedicated to
bringing the best of nature to humankind.
ECONET
manages and cultivates more than 15,000 farmed acres along with a
100,000 acre botanical reserve. This invaluable resource is the
cornerstone of their world-renowned library of more than 250,000 plant
fractions. They control their botanicals from the growing stage to the
harvesting and the manufacturing stage with growing facilities in the
U.S., Mexico, Russia & China. They are the global leader in the
growing and processing of bioactive Aloe vera ingredients supported by
over $13 million in scientific research.
Univera,
in conjunction with ECONET resources, has spent decades exploring the
secrets of natural products to support this process. That work has led
to more than 160 patents and patents pending that have been developed in
their state-of-the-art research facilities, the only such labs in the
world dedicated to this specific research. As a science-based company,
they employ over 50 scientists continually researching new products and
striving to improve existing products.
Their
250,000 square foot manufacturing facility uses the most sophisticated
technology to produce the highest quality natural products.
In
speaking with Stuart Ochiltree, Vice Chairman and CEO of ECONET, Inc.,
Univera's parent company, he said that he believes that the transaction
represents the unification of two great companies with a longstanding
history of solid product and business performance, coupled with a desire
to be a part of the life changing vision that exists at Univera.
I
am supremely confident that this transaction will greatly benefit you
and increase your earning potential in the following ways:
1.
Access to Univera's clinically proven, natural health products that
complement Matol's existing products.
Univera's products ensure that cells receive the proper nutrients they
need to build better cells for tomorrow. Their scientists and
formulators have studied advanced cell renewal in detail and the effect
of specific ingredients - down to the DNA level - and have concluded
that everyone needs to nourish, restore, fortify, and vitalize their
cells for optimal health and regeneration. It is with great excitement
that I can announce that Univera's key products, sales-wise, Ageless
Xtra® and Essentials™ will be made available shortly. I have seen
both the documentation and the packaging of these two great products and
they will fit perfectly in your product mix along with the many others
that we are presently reviewing.
2.
Univera's lucrative compensation plan is rewarding unlike any other in
the industry.
The compensation plan is uniquely designed to provide rich rewards.
Distributors who are just getting started and Distributors who have
developed a large organization are rewarded personally and financially
in seven ways. What's also exciting is that we will do our utmost to
transfer Matol's database to Univera's compensation plan as soon as
possible to allow Matol Distributors to maximize their earnings.
3.
Increasing your e-commerce business.
Over the last few years, Univera has invested millions of dollars into
web-based applications that will allow for e-commerce to become a big
part of your ongoing business. You will very shortly have access to a
modern electronic application which is expected to help you grow
significantly in this area.
4.
Expanding internationally.
As we grow this global organization using Matol's already extensive
world licensee business, it is our ultimate objective to create a
seamless compensation plan structure that will allow all Matol and
Univera Distributors to be universally positioned for a multi-currency
payout from various world markets.
5.
As a global organization, Univera has the worldwide resources to fully
support you in your business building efforts.
Univera's vast financial, scientific and human resources allow them to
be a cutting-edge company. Combined with their 2009 Playing to Win
Business Plan, they are strategically positioned to help you maximize
your income.
6.
They offer long-term stability of a forward looking company.
Having
visited the ECONET head office in South Korea and having met ECONET
Chairman Bill Lee, I can attest to the fact that they have first-class
leadership operating on a long-term 100-year plan for growth ensuring
that Distributors can be successful in the short-term, as well as for
decades to come.
I
anticipate an exciting transition period and, rest assured, I will
personally oversee the full integration of Matol's Distributor network
into the Univera Distributor network as well as being very much involved
in future extensive international business.
I
am also pleased to announce that Matol's genealogy will be automatically
enrolled into Univera's as of February 1, 2009.
Our
future has never been brighter and as exciting as it is today. I hope to
see you soon at the many meetings we will host during the transition
period.
Sincerely,
J.F.
Robert Bolduc
Co-Founder, Chairman
& Chief Executive Officer
of Matol Botanical International
