TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1999 11:08 AM - BusinessWire
ALDERGROVE, British Columbia, Jun 29, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) -- Pay Pop, Inc. (BBS:PAYP) also known as DELECOM COMMUNICATIONS LTD. announced today that it has entered into a Letter of Intent to sell its Dominican Real Estate condominium project to CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (BBS:CIXP). CIXP is an International Project Development Corporation whose focus includes the manufacture and sale of specialty construction technologies.
The Dominican project was acquired by PAYP approximately twelve months ago. It includes 24 completed condominium units together with plans, permits, and licenses necessary to complete an additional 96 units. The agreement calls for a total sale price of $4.4 million in cash and convertible debentures. $900,000 will be paid in cash and the balance will be paid in CIXP convertible debentures, at market at time of conversion. This sale will allow PAYP to become a "pure play" as a fully integrated telecommunications company. Finalization of the agreement is expected within ten days.
PAYP recently announced the hiring of three new professional service entities to assist with its transition from the Electronic Bulletin Board to NASDAQ Small Cap. This will speed up the necessary audit and legal documentation required to meet the entry onto NASDAQ Small Cap. It is felt that the sale of the Dominican Condominiums Project has greatly expedited the process.
On May 27, 1999 PAYP received unanimous approval to change its name from PAY POP, INC. to DELECOM COMMUNICATIONS LTD. to better reflect its core business. A new trading symbol and CUSIP Number are currently being researched. An announcement is expected shortly.
PAYP provides traditional services such as business telephone lines (Centrex Services) and long distance reselling and leverages this platform to provide new revenue generating services, which include Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) and FAX Over Internet Protocol (FOIP). PAYP under new regulations and technologies will provide in the future a seamless convergence of voice, data and video on the same network to its customers.
