Business Wire
XFONE, Inc. (NYSE Amex and TASE: XFN) (“Xfone” or “the
Company”) today announced that it has successfully raised $6
million in a rights offering for its shareholders. Taking into
account the oversubscription rights, there was demand for 96% of
the offered shares. The rights offering expired as of 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time (11:00 p.m. Israel time) on October 26, 2011. The
Company will issue, on November 2, 2011, 20,267,508 shares of its
common stock at a purchase price of $0.30 per share to shareholders
of record as of September 22, 2011. Because the rights offering was
at a price per share which is lower than the market price at the
time of announcement, the Company has authorized a reduction of the
exercise price of its outstanding warrants by an average of 41.4%
and approved the issuance of approximately 3.9 million options to
its directors and employees at an exercise price of $1.10 per
share. The adjustment of the exercise price of the warrants and the
issuance of new options was done to maintain the same value of the
warrants and option prior to the announcement of the rights
offering based on Black-Scholes model.
Mr. Guy Nissenson, President and CEO of Xfone commented, “We are
very pleased to have completed this offering resulting in
approximately $6 million to our Company. The successful completion
of the offering significantly strengthens our capital structure,
allowing us to continue to grow our higher margin,
Fiber-To-The-Premise subscriber base. We are aggressively building
out our network in new communities and have recently established
our fiber network in Littlefield, Burkburnett and Brownfield,

we will focus on ramping up our sales and marketing efforts to
maximize our market penetration.
“We are very appreciative of the continued support of our
shareholders and believe we are well positioned to drive enhanced
returns over the long term.”
