Poynt Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PYN) (OTCQX:PNYTF) ("Poynt Corp." or the "Company"), a leading provider of mobile local search and advertising services, today announces that it has revised the terms of its previously announced $8,000,000 non-brokered convertible debenture offering, which had been scheduled to close on or about April 30, 2012. Poynt is now proceeding with a non-brokered private placement of up to $10,000,000 principal amount of secured debenture units ("Units") of the Company (the "Offering"), which revised Offering is expected to close, in one or more closings, on or about May 17, 2012.

Each Unit will be issued at a price of $1,000 per Unit and will be comprised of one $1,000 principal value secured convertible debenture of the Company (the "Debentures") and 200 share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase common shares of the Company ("Common Shares"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.20 for a period of three years from the date of issuance.

The Debentures will carry interest, payable in cash, at the rate of 12% per annum from the first anniversary of the date of issue, which interest will be payable quarterly in arrears, on June 30, September 30, December 31 and March 31, in each such year. The first interest payment will be made on September 30, 2013 and will represent interest beginning on the date that is one year from the date of issuance of the Debentures to September 30, 2013. There will be no interest payable on the Debentures for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the Debentures.

The Debentures shall mature and be repayable on that date (the "Maturity Date") that is 36 months from the date of issuance.

The principal amount of Debentures shall be convertible into Common Shares, at the holder's option, in whole or in part, at a price of $0.20 per Common Share, subject to adjustment in certain events, at any time prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date, and the last business day prior to the date specified for redemption of the Debentures. On conversion, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Debentures to be converted, to the date of conversion, shall be paid in cash.

The Debentures are redeemable by the Company, in whole or, from time to time, in part, after that date that is six months from the date of issuance and prior to the Maturity Date. The Debentures are redeemable at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, plus an amount that is equal to the amount of interest payable on the principal amount of the Debentures to be redeemed for a period of 90 days. On redemption, all amounts payable by the Company shall be paid in cash on the redemption date.

The Debentures will be secured by way of a general security interest over the assets of the Company.

The Debentures and Warrants (including any Common Shares issued on conversion of the Debenture and on exercise of the Warrants) will be subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws, which hold period expires 4 months and a day from the date of issuance of the Units.

The Company intends to use proceeds of the Offering to repay a currently outstanding senior secured loan, for the deployment of the Company's Poynt local search and advertising platform on additional smartphone devices, promotion and marketing of the Company's products to increase awareness and grow the user base, releasing the Company's products into new geographic areas and for general working capital purposes.

The Offering is expected to be completed, in one or more closings, on or about May 17, 2012 and is subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and satisfaction of all other customary closing conditions.

The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from those registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
