Epazz, Inc. Management has Listened to Shareholder

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 27, 2017) - Epazz, Inc . ( OTC PINK : EPAZ ), a leading provider of cloud-based business software solutions, has announced that the Company's management has listened to our shareholders and will not do any reverse splits.

The Company announced in March of 2017 that debt-funding instruments have been terminated with lenders such as Asher Enterprises, Magna Group, KBM, St. George, and IBC. The Company has not used convertible debt financing for over two years. The company has moved on to use financing that is not toxic to the capital structure and does not erode shareholder value in the Company. Additionally, Epazz has not used any other forms of debt financings such as merchant loans, bank loans, for over a year.

Epazz is generating enough funds to run the operations of the Company and has entered into debt settlement agreements with its former convertible note holders. Epazz management continues to work with our attorneys to eliminate all form of toxic debt from the Company's books. The Company and its attorneys have worked through negotiations and settlements to reduce or eliminate debt and interest expense.

Epazz, Inc.'s CEO, Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, "We are moving the company in the right direction and if we are successful we believe the stock price will show it. We are listening to our shareholders and we will not do any reverse splits. Our goal is to become a fully reporting company again and to upgrade to a national stock exchange. Our focus is to grow sales organically, develop great code and provide value to our investors. Our revenues continue to rise and for the first time in our history, we reported an operating income of over $300,000 unaudited for 2016. We expect to become profitable before the end of the year."
