Danubia Global Response to Wallstreet Journal Article



    An article was recently published by The Wall Street
    Journal in which certain assertions were made or implied in regards to
    Danubia Global Inc.
    Mr. Bogdan-Valentin Bichir, Director of Operations of the
    Bucharest office of Danubia Global Inc., responded today to these
    assertions and statements. He said, "The report is inaccurate. There
    is no business relationship between Danubia Global and Windmill
    International Ltd. (USA) nor between Danubia Global and Custer Battles
    LLC (USA)."
    As reported in the article, Mr. Hanford Johnson, Chairman of
    Windmill International Ltd., acknowledged that Windmill International
    Ltd. had strongly considered buying Danubia Global but never finalized
    the purchase. It is true, according to Mr. Bichir, that there were
    "serious negotiations" underway last year between Danubia Global and
    Windmill International Ltd. "But in the end," noted Mr. Bichir,
    "nothing happened and the two companies parted ways. Despite talks
    over several months, there was no sale to Windmill International Ltd.
    of any interest in Danubia Global. To this day, Danubia Global is a
    completely independent company with no ties whatsoever to Windmill
    International Ltd."
    The article further reports, "Custer Battles continues to operate
    in Iraq under a different name". If the implication of this statement
    is that Danubia Global Inc is the "different name," Danubia Global
    denies and rejects this assertion. Mr. Bichir confirmed that "Danubia
    Global is an independent operating company with no ties to Custer
    Battles LLC. Any assertion otherwise is wholly inaccurate. While it is
    true - as occurs often enough when one company buys an operation from
    another - the buyer retains the experience and skills of some key
    personnel during the transition, there has since then been a huge
    turnover of staff in Iraq with an entirely new set of senior
    managers."
