On February 23, 2015, WPCS International
Incorporated (the “Company”) announced that, on February 20, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual
Release Agreement (the “Settlement”) with Zurich American Insurance Company (“Zurich”) which provides for
the payment to Zurich by the Company of $650,000 to settle the Company’s outstanding balance of approximately $1,850,000
that had been in default, and was previously due in full on December 31, 2013 under an existing forbearance agreement with Zurich.
Upon execution of the Settlement, the Company paid Zurich $200,000, with the remaining balance of $450,000 payable in 10 equal

Settles Debt
with
Zurich American Insurance Company
Progress
Continues on Reducing Company’s Liabilities
SUISUN
CITY, CA - (Marketwired – February 23, 2015) - WPCS International Incorporated (NASDAQ: WPCS), which specializes in
contracting services for communications infrastructure, today announced that it has entered into a settlement agreement with Zurich
American Insurance Company (“Zurich”) that management believes significantly improves the Company’s financial
condition and clearly demonstrates that its restructuring plan continues to be implemented as contemplated.
On
February 20, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement with Zurich (the “Zurich Agreement”)
which provides for the payment to Zurich of $650,000 to settle the Company’s outstanding balance of approximately $1,850,000
that had been in default and was previously due in full on December 31, 2013, under an existing forbearance agreement with Zurich.
Upon execution of the Zurich Agreement, the Company paid Zurich $200,000, with the remaining balance of $450,000 payable in 10
equal monthly installments of $45,000.
Sebastian
Giordano, Interim Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are extremely pleased to have amicably resolved this issue. On the
heels of having recently eliminated the $898,000 in secured convertible debt, the $500,000 secured note, and $735,000 of unsecured
promissory notes, this is yet another positive step forward. Debt reduction is a critical component of successfully executing
our restructuring plan and improving the Company’s financial position. We will continue to aggressively pursue all viable
options to strengthen our balance sheet, while simultaneously working on improving operations and identifying growth opportunities.”
As
part of the Zurich Agreement, Zurich is still entitled to receive a customer payment in the amount of approximately $324,000 related
to the Company’s previous Cooper Medical Center of Rowan University project in Camden, New Jersey (the “Cooper Project”)
for the Camden County Improvement Authority (the “CCIA”), but only if such amount is collected by the Company. Moreover,
conditioned upon receipt of the full settlement amount, Zurich has agreed to release all of its entire right, title and interest
in and to the Cooper Project, against which the Company recently filed an action to recover approximately $2,400,000 from the
CCIA.
