LEAGUE CITY, TX, United States, via ETELIGIS INC., 09/26/2014 -
- ERF Wireless Inc., (OTCQB: ERFB), a leading provider of
enterprise-class wireless and broadband products and services,
announced today that as of September 16, 2014, it has terminated
its Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility ("Facility") with TCA
Global Credit Master Fund, LP ("TCA") and has simultaneously paid
TCA the complete outstanding balance of approximately $1.165
million dollars including principal and interest. The term of the
Facility was one year. The payoff amount also included the
elimination of approximately $92,000 of Advisory Fees that were
convertible into our common stock at a 15% discount to market based
on the five-day Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") of the
stock. The repayment of the TCA Facility releases all security
positions on ERF Wireless collateral that the TCA Facility had
maintained since January 2013 when the facility was initiated. ERF
Wireless requested the termination and payoff of the outstanding
amount due under the Facility in order to remove the Senior
Security encumbrances on the company assets and to provide the
flexibility to secure longer-term funding.
Dr. H. Dean Cubley, CEO of ERF wireless, Inc. commented, "The
repayment of our obligations under the TCA Facility and the
associated removal of the encumbrances on our core assets was the
third objective in our overall plan, summarized below, to
restructure the ERF Wireless balance sheet to eliminate and
consolidate debt and to position the company for continued
expansion and growth of our oil and gas wireless broadband service
business. We will continue to utilize our networks in the Permian
Basin, the Eagle Ford Shale, and other parts of Texas, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, and Louisiana to service our oil and gas customers. In
addition, for the residential networks we have recently sold and
announced we also have contracted on a multi-year basis with the
buyer of these networks to have the exclusive rights to deliver
wireless broadband services to Energy-related customers over these
networks. The next step in our overall plan is to utilize the
un-encumbered assets of ERF Wireless and its subsidiaries to obtain
long-term debt financing to complete our balance sheet
restructuring and payoff of most debt."
