MONTREAL, Feb. 8 /CNW Telbec/ - Mitec Telecom Inc. ("Mitec") (TSX: MTM), a leading designer and manufacturer of mobile wireless, fixed wireless, broadcast and satellite components, announced today it has repaid the balance of a $500,000 Term Loan facility arranged in October 2010.

"We set up this facility as a bridge financing in October to ensure that we could take advantage of various market opportunities that were immediately executable at that time", commented Executive Chairman Jeffrey Mandel. "As a direct consequence, Mitec was able to achieve its objectives and subsequently implement a strategy - which is ongoing today - to streamline its operations and separate its various product lines with the objective of unlocking shareholder value."
"Since October, we have succeeded in raising additional equity for Mitec and our market capitalization has begun to increase. We are well on our way to achieving our stated objectives and look forward to providing our shareholders with further updates in the near future", said Mandel.
