FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ERF Wireless Begins Repayment and Termination of Convertible Debt
Funds Received From New Non-Convertible Financing Used to Repay Debentures
LEAGUE CITY, TX / ACCESSWIE / November 5, 2014 -- ERF Wireless Inc. (OTCQB: ERFB), a leading provider of enterprise-class wireless and broadband products and services, announced that as of November 3, 2014, it has received the initial funding under a new non-convertible funding program and has begun the repayment and termination of a number of its outstanding convertible debentures. As of the date of this press release it had completed the repayment and termination of the first two convertible debentures and is in negotiations with multiple others that are expected to be repaid pending final negotiated agreements.
Dr. H. Dean Cubley, CEO of ERF wireless Inc., commented, "The repayment of our obligations under the existing convertible debentures is a major objective of the company and is one part of our broader objective 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 initiated this overall balance sheet restructuring process with the sale of our non-core residential wireless networks and the repayment and retirement of our senior lender. Now, having completed that part of our objective, we are focusing our efforts on the elimination and repayment of convertible debt that has been a major impediment to our stock value and the market cap of the company."
