Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - Platinum Communications Corporation (“Platinum” or the “Corporation”) (TSX-V: PCS) and Xplornet Communications Inc. (“Xplornet”) have mutually agreed to extend the outside date for the closing of their previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) to December 18, 2015 (the “Outside Date”).  An extension agreement between Xplornet and Platinum, dated the date hereof (the “Extension Agreement”), will be filed on SEDAR and, in addition to the extension of the Outside Date, provides that Xplornet will waive their condition to closing with respect to obtaining third party consents for the Plan of Arrangement.
