TTZ Total Telcom Inc

KELOWNA, BC and EDMONTON, March 23 /CNW/ -- KELOWNA, BC and EDMONTON, March 23 /CNW/ - TOTAL TELCOM INC. (TSX Venture: TTZ) Total Telcom Inc. ("Total Telcom" or the "Company") today responds to the dissident circular dated March 10, 2011 distributed by a group so called the "Committee to Save TTZ" (the "Dissident Group") in an attempt to take control of the Board of Directors of Total Telcom ("BOD"). Total Telcom urges shareholders to support the current BOD and oppose an attempt by dissidents to seize control of the BOD without paying a premium at an Annual and Special meeting scheduled for March 30, 2011. BOD Take Over Attempt to Drain Cash Reserves and Dilute Shares Total Telcom believes the attempt to take over the BOD is a guise and self serving attempt to drain the cash reserves and dilute the Company shares. Total Telcom's proposed Board of Directors interests are aligned with our shareholders, as evidenced by their ownership of 5,046,114 shares or 20%, compared with 300,000 shares owned by the dissident group of nominees. The Dissident Group consists of 5 people.  They are proposing 4 nominees to act as directors.  Of the Dissident Group and proposed dissident nominees, ONLY 3 are shareholders of the Company.  Furthermore, of the 3 shareholders, these holdings seem to be a recent acquisition for the purpose of taking over the Company. The dissident's hand-picked nominees, with their conflicting loyalties, should not be relied on to advance the interest of Total Telcom shareholders. Public Disclosure Taken Out of Context The Dissident Group's Circular is comprised of public disclosure taken out of context and compiled in such a manner as to mislead Total Telcom shareholders. Statements regarding management's commission in 2008 do not reflect the earned nature of the payout or that the same management did not receive salaries or financial compensation for some 8 years prior to 2008. Moreover, the so called "Resignation letters" from former Directors were in fact the result of a failed attempt by these parties to take control of the BOD that would have resulted in the company being sold at a cash discount to participate in a speculative high risk resource deal. Total Telcom Leader in Remote Monitoring and Control Total Telcom is a technology company and while it has faced many such challenges since the collapse of the technology markets, it has in fact been diligently building a solid foundation and is recognized today by Governments, Industry and the Military as a leader in Remote Monitoring and Control. The Company is on the cusp of moving out of the specialized low volume custom market into the more lucrative mass commercialization with the launch of new products this spring. The Dissident Group has no technical experience and would have the shareholders believe it should dispose of these achievements and become a junior Mining Company. "Our shareholders invested in a technology company, not mining.  Don't let an unknown, disinterested group hijack your investment." It has been brought to Management's attention that there has been misrepresentation to shareholders by third parties. Please be advised that the Company or any agent of the Company will clearly identify themselves to shareholders in the event you are contacted for your support. Shareholders are being asked to vote on a number of matters, but the central issue Shareholders must decide is the composition of the board of directors of the Company since that will ultimately set the future direction of Total Telecom.  A vote for the management-nominated directors is a vote for a strategy focused on creating sustainable long-term shareholder value. THE DISSIDENT GROUP IS NOT ACTING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS. Recommendations to Shareholders Your vote has never been more important.
