Giuliani Partners and Sabre Technical Services Form New Venture –– Bio·ONE™
BIO·ONE™ WILL REMEDIATE THE FIRST ANTHRAX-CONTAMINATED BUILDING

January 13, 2004 - Boca Raton, FL. Flanked by Rudolph W. Giuliani, Chairman and CEO of Giuliani Partners LLC, and John Y. Mason, President and CEO of Sabre Technical Services LLC, David Rustine, President of Crown Companies and the new owner of the American Media Inc. (AMI) building announced today that Bio·ONE™ has been selected to decontaminate and remediate the building –– site of the first recognized anthrax incident in 2001.

“"Bio·ONE has unique chlorine dioxide-based technology and experience cleaning-up anthrax-contaminated buildings with no residual toxicity. This made them the clear choice,"” said Rustine.

Sabre Technical Services, a leader in biological and chemical remediation technology and services, has teamed with Giuliani Partners, a management consulting firm with extensive experience in security, emergency preparedness and response, as well as crisis management, to create Bio·ONE Solutions LLC. Bio·ONE is a joint venture that will work to enhance the current technology and to expand the uses of chlorine dioxide as a tool for dealing with biological and chemical incidents, as well as develop new beneficial public and commercial applications. The new joint venture will be headquartered in the remediated AMI building.

“"Sabre's proprietary and patented chlorine dioxide generators and application processes provide a safe and highly effective decontamination system,"” said Giuliani. “"This same process was safely used to clean up the Capitol Hill complex, including the Senate Hart Office Building as well as the postal facilities in Washington and New Jersey. As a result, thousands of people have been able to return to work in anthrax-free environments. Not only do John Mason and his team at Sabre Technical Services bring unique technical expertise, but they have also demonstrated integrity and a commitment to quality and getting the job done,"” he added.

Sabre President and CEO John Y. Mason said, "This joint venture is a marriage of innovative technology, unique expertise and business sophistication. Sabre believes that the depth of experience Giuliani Partners brings to this venture will augment and accelerate the ability of Bio·ONE to bring to the market beneficial applications. Remediation of the AMI building represents Bio·ONE's first joint project and we will work closely with the local, state and federal regulatory agencies to develop and implement the remediation plan just like we have on previous projects."

The American Media Inc. building was the first building where anthrax was discovered in October of 2001. This contamination resulted in the death of the National Enquirer's photo editor, Robert Stevens. The building has remained under quarantine since. Rustine purchased the three-story, 67,500-square-foot building in April 2003 with the goal of restoring it as a safe workspace.

About the Technology
Sabre's proprietary and patented implementation of gas-phase chlorine dioxide fumigation technology provides safe and effective decontamination with minimal disruption, negligible corrosion, and no residual toxicity.

Sabre's high-capacity mobile generators can produce chlorine dioxide gas, solution or foam. Gas-phase chlorine dioxide fumigation is Sabre's primary decontamination method for biological contamination and has proven effective in the remediation of anthrax.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a gas at room temperature and as such is very mobile, easily reaching spores in hard-to-reach places and throughout the building. Also, because of chlorine dioxide's unique physical and chemical properties, it retains its structure and properties in all phases, maintaining its ability to kill spores. Chlorine dioxide has been proven to be an effective HVAC fumigant.

Gas-phase chlorine dioxide used in remedial fumigation is a microbiocide and at proper use concentrations is not flammable or explosive. Chlorine dioxide decays in the fumigation zone to simple salt at concentration levels that are indistinguishable from background levels. As such, there is no residual toxicity or downstream toxicity issues.
