Thursday May 11, 12:49 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release eTravelserve.com Completes Buyback of 1,200,000 Free Trading Shares BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2000--Paul Johnson, President/CEO of eTravelserve.com, Inc., www.etravelserve.com, (OTCBB:TSER - news), announced today that the company has negotiated with certain investors to buy back approximately 1.2 million free trading shares. "This buyback will benefit the shareholders by increasing the percentage of their holdings. A group of previous shareholders where holding restricted shares that have recently become eligible for free trading and had filed their 144 `planned sale' documentation. When the company saw the `planned sale' filings, we felt it better to negotiate with the investors rather than have a large overhang while the company began positioning itself for the move to NASDAQ Small Cap or National market. The first of these agreements have been reached, which will result in a retirement of approximately 1.2 million free trading shares representing approximately 12% of the outstanding float. The company also felt that that negotiating with the shareholders at this time was opportune because the company believes that the current share price is undervalued comparative to other companies in the sector," said Johnson. eTravelserve.com has also initiated an enhanced shareholder relations program, which offers an "Investor Update Call", which is recorded on the 15th and last day of every month.
