CVSL Expects to Uplist Within Next Several Trading Days, Says Its Strategy for 2015 Will Focus on Acquisitions

DALLAS, Nov. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CVSL Inc. [OTCQX: CVSL] said today that, with its uplisting to a national securities exchange expected within several trading days, the Company intends to immediately re-focus on its acquisition strategy within the direct-to-consumer channel.

"Virtually all year we have been working on the process of uplisting to a national securities stock exchange. By our calculation, we will qualify for uplisting to a major U.S. exchange late in this coming week. We are gratified that our uplisting appears imminent," said John Rochon Jr., Vice Chairman and head of CVSL's investment committee.

"We have a robust deal funnel and we intend to get back to acquiring companies that we believe will increase our stock value.  I am proud of our success in acquiring and strengthening our first eight companies and meeting uplisting requirements.  Our decision to focus on moving to a major exchange in 2014 has been well worth the effort and will be possible without the immediate dilution to shareholders that would have occurred if we had consummated an S-1 offering," said Mr. Rochon.

"As we approach 2015, it's time to get back to the work of M&A.  We believe it is good for shareholders for us to immediately resume making acquisitions, which we had put on hold during the past several months.  We intend to fund the next several acquisitions primarily using debt as a source of capital, preserving our cash and taking all the actions we can to protect our shareholders from significant dilution."
