CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 3, 2012) - Solium Capital Inc. ("Solium" or the "Corporation") (TSX:SUM) announces that it received notice today from Computershare Limited ("Computershare") that Computershare has decided to retain the stock options and restricted stock administration business that it acquired on December 31, 2011 from a third party. These assets were acquired by Computershare as part of a larger acquisition of such third party's Shareowner Services business.

The Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 7, 2010 between Solium and Computershare in which Solium acquired the assets that Computershare then held relating to the Employee Equity Options Administration business in North America (the Business) provides that Computershare must not re-enter the Business, or alternatively if Computershare does so, certain payment obligations owed by Solium to Computershare under a transition services agreement would no longer be owing and cease to be a liability of Solium. Under the transition services agreement, Solium was required to pay Computershare U.S.$22 million over a five year period. Due to Computershare electing to re-enter the Business on a direct basis, Solium no longer owes to Computershare an aggregate amount of approximately U.S.$17.28 million, which equates to $0.41 per share (on a basic basis).
