The following press release was sent to the media today: GE MONEY PROVIDES CONSUMER FINANCING FOR ECOQUEST PURIFICATION PRODUCTS GE Money's Home Design Card Helps Homeowners Breathe Easier KETTERING, OHIO - December 22, 2009 - GE Money announced a multi-year agreement to provide consumer financing for EcoQuest products through the Home Design credit program, managed by GE Money's Sales Finance unit. EcoQuest is a registered trademark of DBG Group Investments, LLC. EcoQuest products are marketed and sold through a network of independent business owners throughout North America. The private label financing program provides attractive financing programs and special credit promotions that simplify payment options on initial and on-going purchases. Key benefits of the program include, 24-hour online account access, promotional financing and low minimum monthly payments. In addition, the credit card can be used for purchases wherever GE Money's Home Design program is accepted. "GE Money has the best consumer-financing program we have ever seen," said Joseph P. Urso, CEO of DBG. “It is fair, attractive and sensitive to the needs of dealers, retailers and consumers. We believe it will materially increase the opportunity for our dealers to deliver our air filtration, water purification and other healthy home products to families across America.” The Environmental Protection Agency has ranked indoor air pollution as one of the top five environmental risks to public health. EPA estimates that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. EcoQuest air purification products can eliminate these pollutants, leaving homes cleaner and healthier. "A clean, fresh home brings peace of mind," said Louis Pagliarini, vice president of sales for GE Money - Sales Finance's Consumer Electronics division. "We're pleased to work with DBG and provide a consumer financing program that lets homeowners breathe easier in their homes, as well as when they’re budgeting for their purchases." About DBG Earlier this year, DBG acquired certain operating assets of EcoQuest International, Inc. and certain subsidiaries, through a series of private foreclosure sales. This purchase included the EcoQuest brand. EcoQuest air and water purification products are sold through a network of independent business owners who are committed to providing affordable products and services that enhance the health, wellness and comfort of its customers and their families.
