NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Elephant Talk Communications Corp. (NYSE MKT: ETAK) ("Elephant Talk" or the "Company"), a global provider of Software Defined Network (SDN) platforms and cyber security solutions, for primarily Mobile Network Operators, today announced receiving a $500,000 advance, structured in the form of a loan, which, upon completion of due diligence by the potential buyer of ValidSoft Limited, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, such funds may be applied towards the final purchase price of ValidSoft.
Hal Turner, Executive Chairman of the Board of Elephant Talk Communications, commented, "After receiving interest from multiple parties, we are pleased to have reached this stage with a potential buyer of ValidSoft, resulting in $500,000 of initial loan proceeds, with the potential for an additional $1.5 million advance also being made available. While there can be no assurances that the sale of ValidSoft Limited will be completed with this potential buyer, we are pleased with the progress we have made thus far and are working towards finalizing this transaction as soon as possible. As we have mentioned previously to our shareholders, our main focus in the short term, is securing the appropriate capital structure for our core business so that we may stabilize our operations financially to better grow Elephant Talk."
In addition to the principal amount of $500,000, the Company may receive an additional $1,500,000 advance from the potential buyer. In the event ValidSoft Limited is sold to the potential buyer, the aggregate loan of $2,000,000 shall be applied toward the purchase price to be paid. In the event the potential buyer does not fund the additional $1,500,000 by January 25, 2016, the Company shall convert the initial $500,000 received to an unsecured subordinated convertible promissory note, which will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at $0.30 per share as well as a five-year warrant to purchase additional common shares of the Company at $0.45, subject to certain exceptions. There is no assurance that the Company will consummate the proposed transaction with the potential buyer for ValidSoft Limited or receive the additional $1,500,000 loan from such buyer.
