Wireless Age Communications Terminates Merger Proposal With Relm Wireless Corporation

Wireless Age Communications, Inc. (OTCBB:WLSA), announced today that its Board of Directors has determined that the Company will call off any further proposals to RELM's Board on a merger of the two businesses.

John Simmonds, Chairman and CEO of Wireless Age, stated, "Our overtures to RELM's Board were not well received. There was a short window for a friendly business combination to occur; unfortunately I believe that it has now closed. On December 31st we will utilize the $2,250,000 cash proceeds from the maturing RELM 8% convertible subordinated promissory note to repay a $2,330,000 note payable and continue to pursue other transactions with parties that believe in our consolidation strategy. Thereafter we will hold no prospective ownership position in RELM."
