The financing agreement provides for $1.8 million in funding that Rapid Link will use to retire certain short-term debt, and to restructure all remaining short-term notes payable by Rapid Link in to long-term debt. Additionally, the financing will provide the working capital Rapid Link needs to aggressively pursue its business strategy in the Alternative Access and Broadband Services marketplace. A secondary component of the agreement calls for additional financing of up to approximately $5.2 million, which Rapid Link also plans to use as a working capital resource, as well as for the acquisition of certain wireless and carrier assets in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area furthering our growth and expansion. Rapid Link expects to close on the secondary round of this financing transaction in the summer of 2008. John Jenkins, Chairman and CEO of Rapid Link commented, "This debt financing arrangement is a perfect fit for our company at this juncture in time, and accomplishes a myriad of objectives. The main objective was to raise enough money to finance our growth and acquisition strategy, while minimizing the dilution to our shareholders in a tough credit market. Clearly, we accomplished our main goal, which should position Rapid Link well for the years to come."
