The Company anticipates completing the restructuring process in the first quarter of 2010.

William King, CEO of Alentus, commented, "We are pleased to enter into this LOI which will allow Alentus to aggressively pursue the renegotiation of our existing debt and result in a debt load that is in line with the Company's expected free cash flow. It is our belief that this restructuring process, although not guaranteed, will result in the best possible outcome for all the Company's debt and equity investors and allow us great flexibility to grow our business."

King added, "Assuming a successful restructuring of our debt, the Company anticipates that its current management team will have the necessary resources to accelerate the core business strategy of organic growth and acquisition of new customers."

Alentus has previously reported $6,664,219 in revenue and $451,385 in EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ending September 30, 2009. Interest expense in the same period was $903,607. The Company expects the interest expense to decline significantly after the restructuring.
