SUNRISE, Fla., Aug. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fuelstream, Inc. (OTCQB:FLST) ("Fuelstream" or the "Company") announced today that it has wire transferred $124,600 to Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. ("Peak One") to redeem the unpaid balance and required premium of that certain convertible debenture issued on February 1, 2013 to Peak One. The redemption is part of the Company's ongoing efforts to deleverage and improve its balance sheet. Peak One has disputed the Company's attempt to redeem $11,000 of the principal amount of the debenture. The redemption, once effected, will result in Peak One no longer holding any debt securities of the Company.
Commenting on the redemption, Robert Catala, the Chief Executive Officer of the company stated "The redemption of the Peak One debenture represents a positive step forward in reducing the Company`s liabilities, as well as potential overhang on the Fuelstream stock price. We will continue to pursue additional ways to restructure and reduce our debt obligations along with our development of additional revenue opportunities to improve the financial health of the Company going forward."
