The Company would like to take this opportunity to provide a corporate update to our shareholders as of March 9, 2017:

 

On June 30, 2015, Beta Music Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) and ChoiceTrade Holdings, Inc., a Puerto Rico corporation and the parent company of ChoiceTrade, an online broker (“Choice”) executed a non-binding letter of intent to exchange at least a majority of the Company’s unregistered, unissued shares of common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Choice  (the “Letter of Intent”).  On September 1, 2015 an amended non-binding letter of intent was signed between the Company and Choice to reflect minor changes in the original letter of intent signed on June 30, 2015. The final amount of the Company’s shares of common stock to be exchanged (the “Exchange Shares”) will be specified in a Share Exchange Agreement where the exchange shares will be delivered by the Company to the shareholders of Choice at closing. After completing the Share Exchange Agreement, the intention is to continue Choice’s historical business, including changing the corporate name and replacing the Company’s Board of Directors with appointees of Choice and former Choice shareholders are expected to own a controlling interest in the Company.

 

The Company and Choice are in the process of closing of their Share Exchange Agreement contingent upon the completion of a private offering of the Company’s securities in an amount and pursuant to terms reasonably approved by the Company and the approval of both companies’ board of directors. The Company and Choice are in the process of working to with several firms with extensive expertise serving the Chinese, Hong Kong and Asia Markets and regulatory expertise pertaining to the successful expansion of facilitating new customer growth. The Company and Choice are also in the process of working together regarding the securing of between $2.0 million and $5.0 million of capital to close the Share Exchange Agreement.

 

Since the completion of the amended Letter of Intent on September 1, 2015, Choice has spent a substantial amount of working capital to prepare for the expansion of their operations in the Asia and other international markets. Choice has signed a business partnership agreement with a U.S. subsidiary of one of the largest and the most respected Internet-based financial service providers in China. Choice has also spent capital on the continued development of their owned software technology including web-based front-end and back-end routing engines. The web-based front-end is mobile-enabled that is easily translated into foreign languages to support Choice’s proposed expansion into China and other international markets. Choice anticipates the development of their technology and proprietary new account processing software will allow for high volume of new accounts to be opened at low cost for new customers from China and other international markets. Choice expects that its cloud-based infrastructure will be quickly and inexpensively scalable to accommodate thousands of new customers and trades.

 

The Company is in the process of engaging corporate counsel to domicile the Company’s corporate headquarters from Florida to Puerto Rico. The Company anticipates that corporate tax structure and other economic benefits of Puerto Rico along with Choice expansion into China, Hong Kong, and other international markets will provide increased value for our shareholders. The Company is also in the process of working with legal counsel related to the completion of the planned spin-off of the Company’s current digital media business to the Company’s shareholders of record at a date, approved by the Company, prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement. The Company is in the process of the working with our auditor, Malone Bailey, to complete the prior and current financial filings, which has been delayed from the time of from signing the letter of intent to the closing of the Share Exchange Transaction. We anticipate the prior and current filings will bring the Company current standing with the exchanges and OTC Markets.

 

The Company would like to thank all of our shareholders for their continued support and their patience as we work to complete this complicated transaction.
