DALLAS, Sept. 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- South American Properties, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SAMP), is pleased to announce that the 2013 annual shareholder meeting was held on Dec. 31, 2013. At that time, the 3 proposals previously announced, which included adding 2 new members to the Board, adopting new Bylaws and amending the Articles of Incorporation, were voted on at the meeting and passed. Mr. Scott Horne delivered the new Corporate Vision and laid out the business plan for the company's new business venture. During this Shareholder meeting, SAMP received approval to change its name to LTV Funding Corp. This information is on the website www.southamericanproperties.com/annual-meeting-info.html.

South American Properties had to cancel its investment opportunity in South America, as was previously announced, due to a shareholder's action. This was also the reason for the delay in this announcement.

The new direction of the company is as an asset based or "hard money" lending company to residential and commercial real estate investors. The members of the Board have been involved as owners and operators of other asset based lending operations for over 15 years each. Their expertise in this arena should enable the growth and shareholder value to increase in the company beginning this year.

Following the shareholders' meeting, the board met and Mr. Jeff Love resigned as President and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Horne was elected as the company's new President and Chairman. In the following weeks, a more detailed plan to raise capital and begin operations and marketing to real estate investors will be introduced. Currently, steps are being taken to file the necessary paperwork to change the name of the corporation to the shareholder approved name.

As LTV Funding Corp. launches into its new operations in 2014, we are seeking to raise capital in both the public and private markets. Opportunities exist for investors of all sizes to invest with LTV Funding, generating both an attractive interest rate as well as a convertible note arrangement.
