Peak Positioning Appoints Robert Desbiens to Board of Directors

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Dec. 19, 2011) - Peak Positioning Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:PKK) ("Peak" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert Desbiens to the Company's Board of Directors.

Current Executive VP of Corporate Strategies at R3D Consulting Inc., an IT and management consulting firm with offices in Canada, the US, Mexico and Europe, Mr. Desbiens brings over 30 years of executive experience in technology in both the private and public sectors to Peak's Board of Directors. Prior to joining R3D in 2008, Mr. Desbiens most notably held the positions of VP Eastern Canada at Cisco Systems, Executive Advisor of Strategy and Innovation at IBM Canada, and Deputy Minister of the government information highway and information resources at the Quebec Government.

Mr. Desbiens is expected to work closely with Peak CEO, Johnson Joseph, to help the Company establish a solid foothold in the mobile computing market in China, as well as to potentially help Peak become a gateway for other Canadian mobile computing software developers to gain access to the Chinese mobile computing market. "We're absolutely thrilled to have someone with Mr. Desbiens' strategic thinking, vision and experience joint our team. I'm personally looking forward to working with him to help fulfill the expectations and objectives that all of us here at Peak have for the Company," said Mr. Joseph.

"What impresses me about Peak is not just the fact that the Company was able to have its solutions distributed in China by some of the world's largest telecom service providers, but what's even more impressive is the strength of the relationships that Peak was able to establish in China in such a short period of time. I think this truly puts the Company in a unique position and opens the door to a world of possibilities, not just for its own mobile applications, but potentially for other Canadian mobile app developers as well. I'm really excited to be joining Peak's Board at this junction and look forward to contributing to the Company's success," said Mr. Desbiens.

Along with the Board appointment, Mr. Desbiens was granted 200,000 stock options to purchase Peak shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's stock option plan.
