MEDEFILE INTERNATIONAL CEO INCREASES
EQUITY STAKE IN COMPANY TO 9.8%
BOCA RATON, FL – (MARKETWIRE) – April 12, 2011 – MedeFile International, Inc. (OTCQB: MDFI), a leader in Internet-enabled Personal Health Record (iPHR) management solutions, today reported that Kevin Hauser, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has increased his equity ownership stake in MedeFile’s common stock to 9.8% from 1.1%.
More specifically, Kevin Hauser was gifted 200,000,000 shares of MedeFile’s common stock from his brother Lyle Hauser, MedeFile’s majority stockholder and owner of the Vantage Group, Ltd., a private equity firm. To date, Lyle Hauser and the Vantage Group have invested approximately $6 million in MedeFile.
Kevin Hauser also acquired an additional 100,000,000 shares from Lyle Hauser at a purchase price of $0.005 per share and pursuant to a five-year, interest bearing promissory note. These transactions bring Kevin Hauser’s total equity stake in the Company to 339,620,000 shares and reduces Lyle Hauser’s personal equity ownership from 37.4% to 28.7%.
Commenting on the transactions, Lyle Hauser stated, “Since Kevin became CEO, he has performed very well, moving the Company from what was a lingering development phase to the full commercial roll-out of the MedeFile iPHR platform. His strong leadership skills, coupled with a well-defined plan of action and ability to execute, has sparked a notable improvement in the Company’s fundamental financial performance and in material growth of MedeFile subscriptions. Aside from the pride I feel for my brother’s many accomplishments, I have tremendous confidence in his vision for the future of MedeFile and in his ability to deliver. With that goal in mind, I’m very pleased that I was in a position to ensure that his equity interests are well aligned with the Company’s shareholders and provide the necessary incentive for him to achieve optimal success.”
Kevin Hauser added, “Lyle and I have long shared the belief that MedeFile has the potential to emerge as a dominant industry player, helping to disrupt and transform traditional healthcare delivery models by empowering consumers worldwide to take control of their own personal health records. I am greatly appreciative of the trust and faith that Lyle has placed in me and for giving me the opportunity to significantly increase my stake in MedeFile’s promising future.”
