PRESS RELEASE

January 20, 2005

The new year marked the end of an era as Jerry Braun announced the sale of
his interests in the Cousins Paintball fields and retail store operations,
along with Generation E Sports, to his long-time partners, Dean DelPrete and
Paul Sattler. Effective January 1, 2005, Braun is no longer a partner in
Cousins’ four paintball fields and five retail stores in the New York
tri-state area.
Calling the buy-out a “semi-retirement,” Jerry stated that he, Dean and Paul
will remain partners in the areas of tournament promotion, television
opportunities and magazine publishing. “It has been a wonderful experience
working with these guys,” he said. “I am very happy that this partnership
will be maintained in other areas. In regard to the operational companies, I
felt the need to slow down a bit.”
Dean, Paul and Jerry have been partners for nearly 12 years. In making the
announcement, Braun took a moment to reflect on the past decades in
paintball. “I would like to thank all the wonderful people that I have had
the privilege of working with all these years, notably those at the Cousins
Plattekill field,” he said. “I value the many friendships that I made and
will treasure them always.”
He added, “I leave the Cousins stores and fields and Gen E in the most
capable hands and wish Dean and Paul much success in moving forward with
these companies.”
Dean commented, “My partner Paul and I will continue to grow Cousins
Paintball and Generation E, providing the same high levels of customer
service and quality that we have for so many years.”
