LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 12/08/08 -- Marshall Holdings International, Inc. (OTCBB: MHLI)

Sales and Marketing plans are being formulated as the merger of Rudy Beverages and Marshall Holdings International, Inc. enters its due diligence phase, Marshall's CEO, Elwood Sprenger, announced today.

"We are in the final stages of due diligence and hope to have the merger finalized in the very near future. To that end, transitional plans are being developed so we can move rapidly to combine the Marshall and Rudy product lines. This will focus on sales efforts combining each of our customer bases to expand opportunities," stated Sprenger.

He continued, "We are very excited about our future expansion based on the combined strengths of Marshall's, and its SOCKO line of energy beverages, with Notre Dame Football legend Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger's beverages. His inspirational message of hope, 'DREAM BIG. NEVER QUIT,' immortalized in the movie 'RUDY' is exactly what we intend to do. Not only do we share a vision, both product lines fit nicely into the same sales category and enhance the opportunity to expand overall distribution for both."

"Rudy Beverage has earned market acceptance based on its combination of superior Taste, Hydration and Nutrients that set 'RUDY' apart from other formulations. It includes a beneficial mixture of vitamins, electrolytes, minerals, carbohydrates and xylitol. Xylitol is a natural low calorie sweetener that is clinically shown to decrease the formation of certain bacterias and plaque in the mouth," states Ruettiger. There are currently four flavors of 'RUDY': Blue Fuel, Fruit Punch Blast, Citrus Slam and Orange Lift, according to Ruettiger.
