AMBASSADORS MARINE GROUP ANNOUNCES CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP

May 14, 2009

Ambassadors Marine Group (AMG) announced today that they have been sold to Bellwether Financial Group, Inc. Bellwether Financial Group, Inc. is a private company based in California, headed by President and CEO Joe Ueberroth. The transaction, which was concluded on May 13, 2009, consisted of cash, forgiveness of debt, and assumption of liabilities in excess of twenty four million dollars.

AMG consists of two companies, Bellingham Marine (BMI) and BellPort Group (BPG). Under the stewardship of Mr. Ueberroth, the companies will act as independent entities. Going forward both BMI and BPG will be privately held companies, returning to them a more competitive and entrepreneurial method of operation.

“We are extremely pleased that Joe’s group was able to accomplish a purchase of AMG,” said Everett Babbitt, President of Bellingham Marine. “His background, industry experience, and reputation will serve as a strong enhancement for both companies going forward.”

“This change will return BMI to its former position as a proactive and strategic company, with a long term vision,” opined Mr. Ueberroth. “As the leader in the field of marina design-build construction, BMI is well suited to come through these difficult economic times as a stronger and better-positioned company. Similarly, as a leading operator of shipyards in Southern California, BPG is in excellent shape, and is poised to grow with the return of the market.”

Mr. Ueberroth has been associated with both Bellingham Marine and BellPort Group for over twelve years. In that time he has worked with the companies in a variety of ways, including functioning as CEO, Director, and as a customer.
