Diversified Global Holdings Group Initiates Investor Relations Program - Marketwatch

ORLANDO, Fla., Mar 02, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Diversified Global Holdings Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/7142118 DGHG +28.79% announced today that it has engaged Bibicoff + MacInnis, Inc., a full service investor relations and strategic planning firm, to increase investment community awareness of the Company. Bibicoff + MacInnis will initially concentrate on developing and implementing communications strategies and programs specifically targeting the retail brokerage, institutional and investment banking communities.

Harvey Bibicoff, President and CEO of Bibicoff + MacInnis, stated, "Some of the reasons we find DGHG an interesting investment opportunity are its rapid growth since inception, its strong asset base, the depth & breadth of management's relationships, and the vast opportunities created by the robust commercial growth in Russia."

Through its subsidiaries, Diversified Global Holdings operates in three principal business segments -construction, real estate development and business consulting - primarily in Russia.

Wall Street's Growing Interest in Russia

-- Morgan Stanley recently committed the first $1billion to purchase a mall in Moscow from a $4 billion real estate fund;

-- Marriot, Schlumberger, Ikea, and Pepsi are examples of recent business activity in Russia;

-- J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executives have all met with the Russian President to discuss ways to support the growing American investment interest;

-- Russian economy grew by over 4% last year;

-- Russia's national debt is approximately 8% of GDP (compared with 105 % for the U.S.);

-- Retail sales are rising; U.S. exports to Russia grew 11% in 2010 to nearly $6 billion.

Bibicoff continued, "Since its inception in 2009, Diversified Global Holdings has built itself into a meaningful construction and real estate development company (with multiple marquis projects) in Kazan, one of the most rapidly developing commercial centers in Russia. The Company already has the asset base and revenues to make it significant. We believe management has the expertise to direct and grow its existing businesses, the relationships to see many important growth opportunities in Russia, and the ability to capitalize on them."

Kazan, Russia's third capital which was rated the second best city for business by Forbes, has a $14 billion expansion budget. DGHG's latest Kazan project is a $30 million contract to complete construction of the Lily Stadium by the end of this year for the World Summer Universiade 2013 Games. Russia will host the 2014 Winter Olympics and DGHG expects to be awarded a contract to construct the Kazan Universiade training village for 10,000+ athletes. The Company is actively focused on additional opportunities, including the FIFA World Cup games held in Russia in 2018.

U.S. Investments in Russia Are Becoming Increasingly Attractive

-- Its GDP has been growing at over 4% per year;

-- Major U.S. companies are actively doing business in Russia;

-- It is not a member of the EU and is not struggling with those debt issues;

-- Investments in Kazan grew 40% in 2011, with 80% of the funds invested in the construction of business and residential real estate.

Company Outlook and Milestones

Richard Lloyd, CEO of Diversified Global Holdings Group Inc., said, "We look to Bibicoff + MacInnis to support our increasing activities in the areas of investment banking and investor communications. Now is the right time to step up our efforts in these areas. We have completed a series of successful acquisitions and are now focused on securing the financing to monetize our largest real estate asset -- a $184 million property in Kazan. With a 2012 current backlog in excess of $35 million, we are confident that this year we will exceed 2011 revenues. We look forward to executing on the growing number of substantial new business opportunities before us."

OSL Holdings Inc. New Business Unit, OSL Diversity Marketplace, Inc., Targets Multibillion Dollar Opportunity - Big Hollywood

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- OSL Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: OSLH) new division OSL Diversity Marketplace stated goal is to provide business opportunities to diverse business owners throughout the United States. "We are going to realize a decades long dream to create real business transactions between corporations and diversity suppliers in a meaningful way that aims to deliver the goals of more than doubling current spending through technology, creativity and a true understanding of the issues that are preventing business today."

"There have been many organizations attempting to help this process.  To make the dream a reality today, we first must connect buyers and sellers," says Bob Rothenberg, President of OSLH. "We believe corporations and suppliers are smart and passionate, but they're also overmatched by the current environment.  They need a partner whose technology and creativity literally means business— a valuable solution that impacts the bottom line." 

Recently AT&T was recognized for its supplier diversity efforts, AT&T spent $9.2 billion with diverse suppliers in 2010 representing 18.8 percent of the company's total spend, while its diversity goal was 21.5 percent of it's spend with diverse suppliers.

Commenting on this recent news, Michael Jones-Bey stated, "I commend AT&T for achieving a $9.2 billion annual spend with diverse suppliers. They are leading a wave of corporations that are expanding opportunities to companies that have traditionally been out of our economic mainstream. I believe that OSL Diversity Marketplace can harness this wave by partnering with Fortune 500 companies, diverse suppliers, and supplier diversity organizations. The opportunity here is phenomenal. When you consider that Diversity Magazine estimates that the top 50 corporations have made a commitment to spend 20% with diverse suppliers and are currently spending less than 8.5%, it is exciting to think about how we are building a solution to bridge this gap which is in the tens of billions of dollars."

"OSL Diversity Marketplace, Inc. is creating a virtual commerce ecosystem powered by cutting edge technology that will allow for business to take place with ease, online while ensuring transparency and closed loop tracking," adds Rothenberg. "We plan to leverage relationships with customers of our related business unit Corporate Diversity Solutions, Inc.  that are committed to supplier diversity such as Verizon, Pep Boys, and NY Times to bring this new model to Corporate America so that the Top 50 corporations can meet their supplier diversity goals."
