Agricon Global Corporation (Formerly BayHill Capital Corporation) Announces Completion of Merger With Canola Property Ghana Limited
LEHI, UT--(Marketwire - Apr 4, 2012) - Agricon Global Corporation ("Agricon," formerly BayHill Capital Corporation) (
Agricon announced further that it has received cash of $500,000 and subscriptions for $110,000 toward its continuing private placement of up to 2 million shares for a total of $1,000,000.
The Company reported that it expects to file a form 8-K, commonly called a "super 8-K," to report all details of the acquisition and the new company later this week. The Company believes that the acquisition ends the period of "shell company" status under SEC regulations because the Company is now an operating company.
The former and short-term CEO and board member, Peter Brincker Moller, has left the Company effective on completion of the CPGL acquisition. Agricon is informed that he will continue his affiliation with one of Agricon's largest shareholders. Bob Bench will continue to serve as president and CFO and the Company is considering other candidates for the CEO position and for service on the Company's Board.
Bob Bench said, "We are very appreciative of the shareholders of CPGL for their years of work in making this opportunity available to Agricon. We are also pleased that Global Green Capacity Ltd. CEO Torben Soerensen, who has worked endlessly to make this project happen, will continue to fill the position as one of the directors of CPGL."
