TORONTO, ONTARIO, Dec 18, 2008 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- EFT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- EFT Canada Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EFT) wishes to inform shareholders that it has decided to terminate work related to the prospective acquisition announced on July 18, 2008, of Secure Payment Systems.

Jonathan Pasternak, president of EFT Canada, said that "in the current economic environment, it is important for the proposed combined entity of EFT Canada and Secure Payment Systems, to not be encumbered by assuming debt at higher than normal levels due to the credit shortage." Based on discussions between the two companies, "it became apparent to EFT Canada and its board of directors that the proposed acquisition would not be completed without assuming significant debt, thereby reducing the overall return to shareholders. Further, it also became apparent to the company and its board that a re-negotiated, reduced purchase price was not a viable option due to the increased growth of Secure Payment Systems."

By terminating the acquisition Pasternak asserted, "EFT Canada and Secure Payment Systems each will retain financial flexibility and be in an advantageous position to pursue potential growth and acquisition opportunities."
