VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Jun 04, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- VCTPF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Valcent Products Inc. (the "Company", or "Valcent") (OTCBB: VCTPF) announces that it has executed a conditional purchase agreement to acquire all ownership rights and intellectual property relating to its VertiCrop(TM) vertical plant growing technology and Tomorrow Garden(TM) plant kit technology, all previously part of the master license agreement with Pagic LP, a company controlled by Glen Kertz, the Company's past President. The conditional purchase agreement, retroactively effective to April 1, 2009 between the Company, Glen Kertz, Pagic LP, and West Peak Ventures of Canada Ltd., (the "Agreement") allows the Company to more effectively commercialize and develop these technologies and will give the Company full ownership of all patent rights, know how, trademarks, research and development, improvements, test and development data, and all other intellectual property rights for VertiCrop(TM) and Tomorrow Garden(TM) technologies (the "Technologies").

The Agreement terminates the previous master license agreements between Valcent and Pagic LP, and replaces all financial obligations the Company had under that agreement including annual payments, royalty burden, and all other associated licensing costs. The Agreement is part of the corporate reorganization to enable Valcent to effectively move forward with the commercial global rollout of both Tomorrow Garden(TM) and VertiCrop(TM) under the management of Valcent EU, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary based in the U.K.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a total of US $2,000,000 plus issue 3% of its common stock, however the stock will not be issued until all conditions of the Agreement (including the payment of the cash consideration) are satisfied. The US $2,000,000 is payable on a cumulative basis, of which US $65,000 was paid on signing with the balance to be paid through monthly payments calculated at a rate of 3% of the gross monthly product sales less returns from Valcent's exploitation of the Technologies but in no event will a monthly payment be less than US $12,000 per month until US $2,000,000 has been paid. The Company has up to 10 years to make the total payment and may elect to pay out the Agreement at any time by paying the remaining purchase price. Ownership of the Technologies will remain in escrow until either the purchase price is fully paid or the Company elects not to make the required payments, in which case the Technologies would revert back to Mr. Kertz and Pagic LP. with no further recourse to the Company.
