I. INTRODUCTION: Summary of the Contemplated Transaction

Licensee Pllatel Communications LLC is a telecommunications company that provides
international telecommunications services pursuant to authority by the Commission under ITC-
214-20150826-00217. Licensee provides both international telecommunications services and
international VoIP services to the public, other carriers, as well as consumers. Snap has operated
since 2015 and has sustained its upstart operations but now requires further capital to sustain
itself, continue offering its services to the public, and ensure that services to carriers and
consumers alike are uninterrupted in light of growth and debt commitments of the company. In
response, Martz Holdings, LLC, has agreed to lend the capital necessary to sustain and grow
Pllatel Communications under a transaction (“Transaction”) wherein Martz Holdings will lend
money collateralized by fifty percent (50%) of the Membership units of the Licensee, and hold
an option to convert the loan to an investment within a six to eight month period. Should Martz
Holdings execute its option it will vest with fifty percent (50%) equity stake hold in the
Licensee. The terms of the transaction call for the Licensee as well as Garcia to obtain all state
and federal approvals (or prior approval) necessary for Martz Holdings to execute its option -
should it so elect. The effect of executing the option to the licensee is that the loan and loan
interest would be forfeited and any amounts lent would be treated as equity investment. Should
Martz Holdings decide not to execute its option, the loan provided the Licensee would be paid
pursuant to an existing Promissory Note. The Transaction will be entirely seamless for
consumers of Pllatel Communications and carriers dealing with Pllatel Communications, as it
will not result in any change in the management of Pllatel Communications or discontinue or
impair Pllatel Communications services. On the contrary, the Transaction will only better
stabilize Pllatel Communications to continue offering its services.

Applicant GARCIA presently holds seventy percent (100%) interest in the Licensee and upon
election of the option will transfer fifty percent (50%) of his Membership Units to MARTZ
HOLDINGS, LLC upon consummation of the transaction, with Commission approval. GARCIA
thereafter would not have a controlling interest, in the Licensee. Transferor GARCIA is a U.S.
Citizen. Transferee MARTZ HOLDINGS is Florida limited liability solely controlled by a U.S.
