Alto Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: ALTO) ("Alto" or the "Company") announced that Randall Appel, the newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has entered into a Shareholder Voting Agreement ("Agreement") with Opiuchus Holdings, Inc. ("OHI") whereby Mr. Appel has received a controlling interest in the Company's voting shares. Opiuchus Holdings, Inc., a company owned by Mark Klok, the former CEO of the Company, is a holder of 100,000 Series B Preferred Shares which collectively hold an aggregate of 2,000,000,000 votes. Pursuant to the Agreement, OHI has transferred all voting rights of the Preferred Shares to Mr. Appel for a one-year period, which has enabled Mr. Appel, subject to certain exceptions contained in the Agreement, to unilaterally control the election of the Alto Board of Directors and the direction of the Company. The Preferred Shares carry no dividend, distribution, or other economic rights and are not convertible into Common Stock of the Company.

Commenting on the Agreement, Mr. Appel stated: "This Agreement represents an important part of the transition of the Company's management and control that began a few weeks ago when I was appointed Chief Executive Officer. We expect that the effect of this Agreement will be increased investor confidence in the stability of the Company and its management, as well as increased confidence in the Company's strategic direction. I look forward to moving ahead with a clearer demarcation of my ability to affect the Company in a positive manner and more effectively respond to the needs of our shareholders."
