Tellza Sells Its Tel3 Brand and Customer Base in Exchange for Marketable Securities

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 6, 2016) - Tellza Communications Inc. (TSX:TEL) announced that it has sold its Tel3 brand and related customer base together with certain receivables due to Tellza in exchange for marketable securities with an estimated fair value of US$2 million and the assumption by the buyer of Tellza's obligations related to the prepayment of service by Tel3 customers. The marketable securities acquired by Tellza are subject to a six month hold period.

"Tellza's focus within telecommunications is on the B2B market. Tel3 no longer fits with our strategic direction. We have exchanged the Tel3 customer base and brand with an operator with a strategic focus on consumer markets," said Gary Clifford, Executive Chairman. "In recent months, Tellza has expanded its focus beyond the telecommunications industry by investing in the financial service support business via investments in Merkez and Rightway."

The Company's financial statements and other disclosures are available on SEDAR.
