NEWS RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 22, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RELIANT TO FILE INFORMATION STATEMENT ON AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZTION
Tampa, FL-(BUSINESS WIRE)-September 22, 2000-Kevin Harrington, Chairman and CEO
of Reliant Interactive Media Corp. (OTCBB: RIMC), announced that the Company
will file a preliminary information statement with the SEC today, pursuant to
the federal proxy rules in connection with an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization ("Agreement") that was announced previously by TeleServices
Internet Group, Inc. (OTCBB: TIGI). This Agreement provides for Reliant to
contemporaneously transfer substantially all of its assets to AsSeenOnTVpc.com,
Inc., a 71% owned subsidiary, that will in turn be acquired by TeleServices
Internet Group ("TSIG.com") for 8,000,000 shares of its common stock. A pro-rata
distribution of TSIG.com shares will be made to Reliant shareholders, but
Reliant shareholders will not be required to exchange or surrender their Reliant
shares in order to receive this distribution. TSIG.com has recently acquired a
substantial majority interest in GeneralSearch.com, Inc., an internet portal,
and has a definitive agreement to acquire The Affinity Group Inc., a
telephonic-based marketing company.
Ten days after the preliminary information statement is filed with the SEC a
definitive information statement will be filed and also mailed to Reliant's
shareholders of record at June 26, 2000, the date the Agreement was first
announced. After the Agreement was originally announced, negotiations continued
between the parties that resulted recently in the number of TSIG.com shares
being increased from 3,500,000 to 8,000,000 for this acquisition. Majority
written consent has already been obtained from holders of a majority of the
shares of Reliant stock, and under the federal proxy rules the acquisition will
be effectuated 20 days after the mailing of the information statement to
shareholders. A distribution of TSIG.com shares will be made to Reliant
shareholders at the record date of June 26, 2000, in a number equal to
approximately of a TSIG.com share for each Reliant share owned on that date.
It is expected that the resultant Reliant "shell corporation", in which the
present shareholders will retain their stock ownership, may enter into a
business combination in the future with a private company that is seeking to go
public via a reverse merger or acquisition.
