LONDON--(Marketwire - June 23, 2010) - Global Technologies, Ltd. (
This portion of the transaction is valued at a further $6,000,000 purchased through an equity-building issuance of Preferred Stock and will create no debt for the Company. On June 2, 2010, the Company completed the initial phase of this Agreement and acquired, also through the issuance of Preferred Stock, $9,000,000 of core Innovative Wind Turbine Blade Designs from the CLE's extensive holdings.
This transaction is one in a series of anticipated IP acquisitions planned as a result of the Joint Development Agreement with Creative Laboratory Enterprises (CLE), a private Intellectual Property (IP) and Technology Holding company, completed earlier this year and substantially expands its core Small Wind technologies and adds impetus to its recently announced Innovation Development & Demonstration (ID2) Partnership.

The remaining four (4) Wind Turbine Blade Design Projects, together with Patent protection and Projects evolving from these Vertical Axis Turbine Intellectual Property assets, will be announced in due course.

Through its pioneering Innovation Development & Demonstration (ID2) Partnership, GTL focuses on the acquisition and development of nascent innovations, inventions and Intellectual Property (IP). Of key interest to the Company are operations and technology holdings in the sustainable energy and environmental sectors. By acquiring and funding novel early stage research, the Company will leverage its technical and financial resources for the benefit of the inventors, stakeholders and the innovation marketplace.
