Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 9, 2008, Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) and Rising Water Capital, AG (“RWC”) entered into a settlement agreement, effective May 13, 2008 (the “Settlement Agreement”), whereby Rising Water Capital, AG agrees to convert certain promissory notes held by it in the amount of $3.5 million and $3 million respectively, into common stock of the Company. RWC also agreed to fund the remaining balance under the $3 million note. In order to induce RWC to convert the promissory notes, the Company agreed to reduce the conversion price or the $3 million note to the price at which the Company offers its common stock in a subsequent financing with a minimum pf $1,000,000 in gross proceeds. The conversion price shall be adjusted to reflect the Company’s 1:25 reverse stock split, effective June 11, 2008.
