NEW YORK, Jan. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Accountabilities, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACBT), a national provider of diversified staffing, recruiting and consulting services, today announced that on December 29, 2009, Accountabilities and Tri-State Employment Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation and affiliate of the company ("Tri-State"), entered into an Exchange Agreement whereby the company agreed to exchange 2,333,333 shares of the company's common stock for approximately $700,000 of company debt held by Tri-State at a per share exchange price of $0.30 per share. Tri-State had recently acquired the debt from a third party. The Exchange Agreement also contained a release in favor of the company and other related parties in connection with the debt. The transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement were consummated on December 29, 2009.
Management believes that the foregoing exchange of equity for debt provided a unique opportunity for the company to lower the company's existing debt obligations on favorable terms.
Additionally, on December 24, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a reorganization of Accountabilities into a holding company structure. In the transaction, Accountabilities will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company. Stockholders of record will receive shares of the holding company on a one for one basis and will not otherwise be affected by the anticipated reorganization. The transaction is expected to be consummated in the company's current fiscal quarter.
Management believes such a structure will provide enhanced operational flexibility and greater opportunities for future growth.
