Joseph Cunningham, Gamma's Chief Financial Officer, commented, "With the support of our major distribution partner, Gamma was able to secure highly specialized purchase order financing that has enabled the Company to manufacture and deliver product and generate sales virtually from a standing start. We are now in the process of securing additional capital and financing that will permit Gamma to quickly ramp up sales pursuant to purchase orders and purchase discussions that have been ongoing."
On March 3, 2010, Gamma announced the Company had entered into a multi-year agreement (the "Agreement") with one of North America's leading wholesale distribution organizations to distribute the full line of Gamma products. The Agreement, which is evergreen in duration, provides for minimum monthly volume purchases of Gamma products at agreed upon pricing per SKU. The contracted terms prescribe a minimum purchase of 40,000 cases per month (after an initial ramp-up period) of Gamma's branded products, which at full distribution equates to annualized sales revenue of approximately $48.0 million. Gamma's distribution partner is a large wholesale distributor of branded consumer products in North America, and is credited with the enormous commercial success of many leading consumer brands.
Peter Cunningham, Gamma's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the news, "We are extremely excited about this important milestone. Over the last two years, Gamma has finalized our product formulation and packaging, completed contract manufacturing and supply chain logistics, established critical distributor and retailer arrangements, and developed a comprehensive marketing and promotion program designed to stimulate consumer demand for our unique branded products. Our close cooperation with our manufacturing partners has enabled Gamma to achieve a unit cost profile designed to generate a profit margin exceeding 60%. Our major distribution partner has gone far beyond the role of a typical distributor, fully backing our commercial launch. Our aim for our branded products is the broadest possible distribution and we continue to work to put in place a network to achieve our distribution objectives. In the process, we have transformed Gamma as a company."
