Webtech Wireless Announces Share Buyback Program



Vancouver, BC - August 23rd, 2007 – WebTech Wireless Inc. (TSX: WEW), a provider of location-based and fleet Telematics services, today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has accepted notice of the Company’s intention to optimize its capital structure through a share buyback program, by way of normal course issuer bid (“Bid”), of up to 1.2 million Common Shares of the Company, which, as of August 22, 2007, represents approximately two point zero six percent (2.06%) of 58,252,644 ordinary shares that the Company has issued and are outstanding as of today. The Company has allocated up to $3.9 million for the buyback. Purchases will be effected through the facilities of the TSX. Pursuant to TSX policies, daily repurchases will be limited to 62,972 Common Shares, other than block purchase exceptions. The Company will cancel shares purchased under the Bid. In the previous twelve months, the Company has not purchased any of its outstanding shares.

“After a thorough review of our financial situation, we concluded that a share buyback was an effective way to improve our capital structure, reduce our cost of capital and enhance our equity returns,” said Anwar Sukkarié, President and Chief Executive Officer. “At April 30, 2007, the Company had a cash balance of over $25 million, no net debt and a substantial base of customers generating positive cash flow. Our shares are trading in a price range that does not reflect the value of the Company or our future business prospects.”

The Bid will commence on August 27, 2007 and expire on August 26, 2008. The actual number of common shares purchased and the timing of such purchases will be determined by WebTech Wireless.
