Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events and plans. We have based these forward-looking
statements on our current expectations and projections about such future events and plans. These
forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual events and plans to be
materially different from any future events and plans expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as guidance, may, will, should, could, would, expect, plan,
anticipate, believe, estimate, continue or the negative of such terms or other similar
expressions. Although it is impossible to identify all of the factors that may cause our actual
events and plans to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements,
such factors include the inherent risks associated with any significant business transaction,
including the ability to satisfy all parties conditions to consummation of such a transaction.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of
these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 1, 2006, Stonepath Group, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
(Purchase Agreement) with JTM Acquisition Corp. (JTM) for the sale (the Sale) to JTM of
Stonepath Logistics International Services, Inc., a Washington corporation (SLIS), the Companys
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, for aggregate consideration of $17.9 million, consisting of a
closing cash payment of $12.2 million and the assumption by JTM, or satisfaction, of liabilities
associated with SLIS. The company expects to recognize a book loss on the sale of SLIS and its German subsidiary of approximately $3.5 million.
Consummation of the Sale is subject to conditions including, without limitation, the receipt of
funding by JTMs contemplated source of financing for the Sale, receipt by JTM and the Company of
applicable consents, approvals and releases, and the receipt by the Companys Board of Directors of
a fairness opinion from a valuation advisor as to the purchase price to be received in the Sale.
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Sale contained in the
Purchase Agreement, the parties anticipate that the Sale will close on or before October 16, 2006.
The founder and President of JTM is Jason F. Totah, who served as the Companys Chief Executive
Officer from October 2004 until July 20, 2006, when he temporarily resigned his position as Chief
Executive Office until either the Sale is consummated, at which point it is contemplated that he
will formally resign his position with the Company, or the Sale is abandoned, at which point it is
contemplated that he would resume his position with the Company.
