Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am excited to greet you all as the new CEO of Gear International. This is a time of great change for Gear as it moves
towards a bright future. I would like to thank Dale Geck for his excellent leadership up to this point, and his help in making
this transition move as smoothly as possible. Dale has done a great job of placing Gear in a position to bring some real value
to shareholders. It is my job to act on that advantageous footing and bring to completion what the previous regime began.
My one focus is for Gear to attain the value its shareholders deserve.
Before discussing my plans for the future of Gear, a little about myself. I have worked in many capacities in various
public companies since 2001, including investor relations and strategic consulting. Since 2004, I have served as President
and CEO of a few companies, overseeing transitions similar to this one and serving long enough to set the companies on a
path of long-term growth.
More important than my own qualifications is the management team I plan on creating. Having the flexibility of
creating my own team was a primary condition when I agreed to step in as CEO. Talks are in progress with members and
potential members of the management team. Rick Vanderhorst who was previously an independent adviser is willing to take
on more significant role in the organization. Details will be forthcoming. All members of the management team will be fully
committed to the long-term growth of Gear, and rewarding the loyal shareholders.
One of my primary goals as CEO is to have a higher level of transparency and disclosure so all the shareholders can
feel comfortable in their investment in Gear. My first step will be to embark and complete the initiatives begun by the
previous regime. Including but not limited to:
• Completing the audit as soon as possible
• Becoming up to date on all the current pink sheet filings
• Updating information regarding gold exploration and the road to production
• Completing the S-1 and filing with the SEC to begin the process of listing to the OTCBB
• Lifting the Cease Trade Order (CTO) by submitting appropriate filings in British Columbia, Canada
I am committed to bringing a close to all these outstanding issues. The future for Gear looks bright. Gear will restyle
itself as a mature company ready to participate in the broader markets and fulfill its obligations to shareholders. To that end,
I will be focusing on Gear generating some revenues as soon as possible. I also would like to continue issuing stock
dividends such as the one earlier in 2012, and eventually to reward shareholders with a cash dividend . Moving forward, I
will make every effort to inform shareholders of developments and accomplishments.
On January 15, 2013, a video special of my installation as CEO will be aired online. New episodes should air every two
weeks for six months about the operations of Gear as the new management team moves Gear out of the transition and into
the future. Information about watching the show will be available on the gearii.com when it is available.
The website will also be updated with information and pictures showing Gear in operation so everyone can see Gear
work to bring shareholders value. More information will be released as soon as it is ready. I am extremely excited for the
future and I hope my fellow shareholders share in my anticipation. I hope to quickly reverse the misfortune that has befallen
on Gear shareholders, and will do my best to restore the faith of everyone that believed in the company. Expect greater
levels of transparency and disclosure in the future. The market will soon realize the true value of Gear, and all you loyal
shareholders will benefit.
Sincerely,
Cory Howden
Chief Executive Officer
Gear International Inc.
