Business Wire, Feb 25, 2009

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e17f6b/tax_issues_oppor) has announced the addition of the "Tax Issues & Opportunities for VC-Funded Companies" report to their offering.

The goal of this video seminar is to provide CEOs of VC-Backed companies with proactive strategies to maximize management team compensation, minimize personal tax liabilities for the CEO and capitalize on new corporate tax strategies throughout the upcoming tax year of 2008-2009. At the end of watching this 120-minute video seminar, you will be able to proactively address issues that have had a significant impact on other VC-Backed companies because they were not handled ahead of time. The seminar is led by Robert Wood, of Wood & Porter, one of the preeminent lawyers in the United States on taxation issues and the taxation of legal awards.

By spending 120-minutes watching the seminar, you will potentially save yourself, your management team and your company hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost value due to new tax strategies for 2008. Take advantage of this resource that has been invaluable to CEOs of other VC-Backed companies, and because it is a video seminar, there is no travel necessary - simply watch it on your computer or mobile media player (such as an iPod).

Samples of the topics covered and value offered in the video seminar include:

* The roles and responsibilities of the CEO, CFO, and accountant in flagging potential tax issues throughout the upcoming year in 2008-2009.
