COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accredited Members Holding Corporation (OTCBB:ACCM) entered into an agreement to acquire World Wide Premium Packers, Inc. (WWPP) for an undisclosed amount. WWPP is an early stage business enterprise that intends to procure, process and market premium meat products. WWPP has entered into a licensing agreement with the legendary singer, songwriter, movie star, TV and radio personality, Pat Boone, that grants WWPP a perpetual exclusive worldwide license to use Mr. Boone's name and likeness in connection with the marketing and sale of premium meats, cookbooks and related products.
Accredited Members Holding Corporation finds and vets unique acquisition opportunities to build powerfully lucrative brands like Pat Boone All-American Meats. This acquisition represents one of those unique opportunities, pairing a legacy brand of direct-to-consumer, premium meats, with the compelling bonus of consumers being able to direct a portion of the proceeds to charitable causes. Accredited Members Holding Corporation's Co-Chairman, JW Roth, remarks that, "This project represents an extraordinary project, unlike any I've ever been involved in. Honestly, this is the first time I've been involved in building something truly special – something very, very different. And this time, I'm building it with my friend Pat Boone. Pat is more than just a legend. Pat Boone is a man of integrity and character. Pat is one of the hardest working guys I've ever been around, especially for a guy who doesn't have to!"
Mr. Boone, who believes passionately in the need to restore America's foundational principals, is once again uniting friends and family around the dinner or picnic table, and is just as passionate about supporting charities that are in desperate need of help. And he is committing his talent, leadership, relationships, media connections and own financial resources to this project – not just his name – to ensure that those charities are well supported. Offering his assurances, Mr. Boone insists, "We're committed to making sure that Pat Boone All-American Meats is the kind of company you can believe in — the kind of company you can trust to deliver on its promises."
Pat Boone All-American Meats (www.patbooneallamericanmeats.com) is scheduled to launch November of this year with a line of premium cuts of U.S.D.A., aged, hand-trimmed steak, and is supported by an exceptional network of traditional U.S. cattle ranchers, and a world class team of meat specialists.
