MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - September 2, 2009) - ONE Holdings, Corp. (OTCBB: [ ONEZ ]) ("ONE" or the "Company") ([ www.onehcorp.com ]), an investment company owning majority equity interest in core operating assets in Biotechnology located in the Asia Pacific region, announced today it has named current interim President Marius Silvasan as its new CEO and Vice Chairman of the Board.

Mr. Marius Silvasan, a strategist and senior executive, brings over 17 years of distinctive leadership. Mr. Silvasan will lead ONE and its management team on a path towards organic and acquisition driven growth.

"Marius is a born strategist and an effective leader. He is extremely diligent in what he does and his success comes from having a lucid vision of his assignment and being able to execute on his planned strategy with clear direction," commented Chairman Michael Weingarten. "Marius' strong finance and business background will provide ONE the required experience to acquire, fund and grow biotechnology and health-related companies in the Asia-Pacific region," added Mr. Weingarten.

"I believe the key to unlocking shareholder value is driven by sustained organic growth of current operations and synergistic accretive acquisitions. In recent years Asia-Pacific has been a critical region in driving international growth. I have first hand experienced said growth with my involvement as Chairman of Abacus Global Investment ('Abacus'), a private investment firm focused in the Asia-Pacific region. I believe this trend will continue, which makes this region very attractive to us," stated Mr. Silvasan. "In the short period of time since Abacus acquired control of ONE and changed its business focus, we acquired substantial profitable assets including our recent acquisition of Green Planet Bioengineering ('GP') and our signing of a letter of intent to acquire Jianou Lvjian FoodsStuff Co. ('JLF'). Upon the closing of JLF based on 2008 results for both GP and JLF, our revenue, operating income and net income would increase by $27 million, $10 million and $7.7 million respectively," added Mr. Silvasan.

Marius Silvasan, age 36, resides in Miami, FL. Mr. Silvasan was appointed director and Interim President for ONE Holdings, Corp. June 9, 2009. Mr. Silvasan is a director of Abacus World Corp., a business advisory firm and Chairman and CEO of Abacus Global Investments, Corp. and Visioneer Holdings Group, Inc., both private investment companies, with Abacus being focused on the Asia-Pacific region. Mr. Silvasan is a leader and senior executive with over 17 years' experience in business development, mergers and acquisitions, strategic alliances, marketing, sales and finance. Mr. Silvasan has raised capital to fund various acquisitions and assist with organic growth. Mr. Silvasan founded TelePlus World, Corp. in 1999 and still serves as the Company's Chairman and CEO.
