KonaTel Announces Closing of a $5 Million Secured Credit Facility

Non-dilutive Financing to Support Growth of Subscriber Base

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / December 21, 2023 / KonaTel, Inc. (OTCQB:KTEL) (www.konatel.com), a voice/data communications holding company, announced that to support the expansion of its wholly owned subsidiary, IM Telecom LLC /d/b/a Infiniti Mobile a national Lifeline and ACP provider, it has closed a secured credit facility with ACP Financing VII LLC ("ACP Finance"). Approximately $1.5 million of financing was provided at closing to purchase equipment, with potentially up to $25 million available to support the growth of IM Telecom.

The Installment Sale Agreement with ACP Finance is a structured credit, non-dilutive facility, without warrants, convertibility or stock issued. It is a unique short-term liability tailored specifically for national Lifeline and ACP providers, like Infiniti Mobile, that provide for equipment repayment over the initial nine months in a manner that supports Infiniti Mobile in growing its subscriber base.

D. Sean McEwen, Chairman/CEO of KonaTel, stated, "ACP Finance maintains strict requirements for minimum revenue and monthly activations to qualify for this credit facility. We are pleased that in the fourth quarter of this year, Infiniti Mobile reached those minimum requirements. So, we are excited to partner with ACP Finance, which have provided other Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program ("ACP") providers with capital to substantially grow their revenues while improving their cash flow. As stated in prior Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, our team has been working for many months to prepare the infrastructure for accelerated growth. Now with this credit facility, we will have the additional capital to expand our distribution without incurring term debt or diluting our shareholders' ownership. Through this agreement, we will be able to purchase mobile devices (cell phones and tablets) at an overall cost (equipment and financing) lower than existing sources. We believe the impact on our cash management and revenue will be positive with this credit instrument as we continue to expand our Lifeline and ACP customer base."

Bill Pettinati, Manager of ACP Finance, stated, "We are pleased to add KonaTel/Infiniti Mobile to our portfolio of Lifeline and ACP providers that provide essential broadband and communication services to the underserved. We look forward to a long partnership with KonaTel and Infiniti Mobile and substantially increasing the facility as needed to support their growth."
