BASTA HOLDINGS, CORP. ANNOUNCES CORPORATE NAME CHANGE TO

BLACKPOLL FLEET INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

Fort Lauderdale, FL – (Marked Wired) – July 30, 2015 – Basta Holdings, Corp. (OTC Pink: BSTA/BSTAD) (the “Company”) today announced key corporate developments that are serving to position the Company to transition from a commission-only aircraft management advisory company to a full service air charter and owner/provider of a fleet of world class, medium utility helicopters.

 

More specifically, the Company has implemented a corporate rebranding initiative, renaming the Company from Basta Holdings, Corp. to BlackPoll Fleet International, Inc. The new name endeavors to align the Company’s identity with its corporate mission, while distinguishing and communicating the Company’s fundamental strengths, impressive capabilities and core values. The inspiration for this unique new name is the blackpoll warbler, whose transoceanic flight has been the subject of over 25 scientific studies. Averaging the weight of a ballpoint pen, this brave and highly committed little bird is capable of flying non-stop up to 2,400 miles, over 80 hours, in virtually any weather condition.

 

Jacob Gitman, Ph.D., BlackPoll’s Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Given the blackpoll warbler’s great tenacity, strength and proven dedication, we felt that it was the ideal expression of who BlackPoll Fleet International is and boasts the same characteristics that we believe are inherent in our Company and the people within our ranks.”

 

In other news, the Company reported that it has completed a 10:1 reverse stock split of its Common Stock, which commenced trading on a split-adjusted basis on Tuesday, July 28, 2015. The Common Stock is now trading under new CUSIP number 09258J108 and its shares of Common Stock are trading on the OTC Pink marketplace under symbol “BSTAD,” with the “D” added for the next 20 trading days to signify the stock split. Upon the expiry of this period, the shares of Common Stock may trade under a different symbol, but the Company is presently unable to state what that symbol will be.

 

Commenting on these critical new developments, Gitman added, “All of the changes we are implementing at BlackPoll Fleet are in support of the robust new business development opportunities that we have been pursuing over the 12-18 months. Chief among our growth objectives are pursuing a listing on a national exchange later this year and, on the operations front, expanding our ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) leasing services and launching our own proprietary fleet of medium utility rotary wing aircraft to support our growing global customer base.”
