VANCOUVER, B.C. - International PBX Ventures Ltd. ("PBX" or the "Company") (TSX.V:PBX) responds to claim from former President
"On Friday February 27 we were served with a statement of claim from a company that a former consultant and past President George Sookochoff used to bill International PBX Ventures Ltd. It is our intention to vigorously defend this claim and to counter claim for damages the company has incurred as a result of certain actions taken by Mr. Sookochoff.
Despite being given every opportunity to take the honorable way forward George Sookochoff continues to make matters difficult for the company. We will deal with this latest act in the same way we dealt with his initial refusal to leave International PBX. The board has a clear vision on how to create value for our shareholders and we will continue to execute this vision. Despite challenging market conditions the company continues to make progress on its goals and is currently having a productive series of meetings at PDAC in Toronto and expects to provide shareholders a more detailed update later in March." commented Terry Lynch International PBX Ventures Ltd. CEO.
