Surety Capital Acquires Herrera Financial

Surety Capital Corp. (Pink Sheets: SRYP) finalized the acquisition of Herrera Financial Company’s customer list, web-site, systems and name. Herrera Financial is a leading insurance assignment company operating throughout the United States. Veronica Herrera established Herrera Financial in 2007 to provide insurance assignment financing primarily for Hispanic funeral homes.

Surety’s Chairman of the Board and CEO Ralph Mendoza, formerly Fort Worth police chief, stated "Since Surety sold its previous banking subsidiary, we have been looking for opportunities in the Hispanic business community as it is the fastest growing segment in America. Herrera allows us to expand on our business plan of serving the Hispanic market. In fact the recent census shows Texas’ population growing by over 20% during the past 10 years with Hispanics accounting for a substantial amount of that growth.”

Veronica Herrera stated, "We are excited about becoming part of Surety Capital Corp. since it allows my clients a unique opportunity that's not available to others using an insurance assignment company.”

Chairman Mendoza stated that, "Dick Abrams, Surety’s largest shareholder and a beneficiary of the trust selling Herrera’s customer list, web-site, systems and name to Surety, has agreed to remain on the Board of Directors and act as a consultant for Surety. Dick is the innovator for this industry and has been an instrumental influence the industry’s development.” Since Surety is only buying the customer list, web-site, systems and name of Herrera, Abrams has agreed to provide Surety with a line of credit bearing interest at 6% in order for Surety to transact business with Herrera’s customers. Surety agreed to give the Trust 3,000,000 shares of its lettered common stock.

Chairman Mendoza stated that Surety is exploring opportunities to allow Herrera’s clients to participate in the future growth of this publicly held corporation. Chairman Mendoza stated, "We hope to provide a unique opportunity that no other company offers. Our clients will be able to own a portion of the company they do business with. We are excited over the prospect that our clients will have an additional way to profit from the business they transact with us. This plan will be announced shortly.”
