Global Water Technologies Secures Initial Funding for Ballast Water Research

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Global Water Technologies,
Inc. (Pink Sheets: GWTR) has completed an initial funding transaction to begin
research on new methods of ballast water treatment.
“Ballast water treatment and new regulations to control the invasive species
that are unintentionally transported by international shipping are important
issues for the next decade,” said Erik Hromadka, chairman and CEO of Global
Water Technologies. “As a small technology company, we can move quickly to
identify new solutions and are currently investigating options being developed
in Australia and Canada.”

Ballast water treatment is of particular concern to state and provincial
economies of the Great Lakes, where strict new regulations in 2012 may impact
the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Stratton Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: STHG) made an initial investment in Global
Water to support the research and development of new technologies for ballast
water treatment and will also provide professional services from its
headquarters in San Jose, California.

“Global Water Technologies is a good fit for our strategy to identify and invest
in small public companies that have demonstrated potential for significant
growth,” said Eric Stratton Racheff, CEO of Stratton Holdings, Inc.

Hromadka noted the investment is a validation of Global Water’s approach to
identify new technologies, create project teams to develop and deploy the most
promising opportunities and then build business operations in those areas. “We
welcome Stratton Holdings as one of our initial investors in this area and
continue to seek such strategic partnerships as we move forward and create value
for all our stakeholders.”
