JACKSONVILLE, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 05/01/12 -- Stakool Inc. (OTCQB: STKO) (OTCBB: STKO), a Florida-based corporation, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a $300,000 equity financing transaction with institutional investor Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. The Company satisfied over $300,000 in liabilities in exchange for unregistered shares of common stock.

"We are extremely pleased to complete this stage of financing for the Company. The financing allows the Company to be alleviated of its note payable debt obligations due principally to the merger of Stakool and Anthus Life. Our investors can feel comfortable with the fact we no longer have to meet these obligations on a monthly basis," stated Peter Hellwig, President and CEO of Stakool, Inc. "Furthermore, we can now focus on building our business more effectively, concentrating on sales and marketing, harnessing the growth opportunities in the natural and organic, and health and wellness markets."

"A combination of the management team, the Shannon Miller endorsement and a very good-tasting product line, will allow Stakool and its subsidiary Anthus Life, to become a well positioned competitor in the natural and organic market segments," commented Richard Kreger, Managing Director of Ironridge Global. "With the impending Kosher certification, we believe that the Company can now better concentrate on increasing market penetration and improving shareholder value."

Terms of the Financing -
Ironridge Global acquired outstanding debt from Company creditors and Stakool issued unregistered shares of common stock to Ironridge in full and final settlement of the accounts payable acquired by Ironridge. The shares issued to Ironridge are subject to adjustment within a defined range. Consistent with its long-only investment mandate, Ironridge represented that it has never shorted the Company's stock, does not hold any short position, and will not engage in or affect, directly or indirectly, any short sale of the common stock.
