Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company ("Common Share") and one warrant to purchase a Common Share of the Company ("Warrant").

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to repay a currently outstanding 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 and for general working capital purposes.

The Company expects to complete the Offering, in one or more closings, with the first closing occurring on or about June 11, 2012. The Offering 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.

About the Poynt Platform

Poynt is a convenient and timesaving GPS-enabled mobile local search and advertising platform that connects consumers to local offers, businesses, events, restaurants, movie theatres, gas prices and weather information at the moment they are looking to buy or acquire products or services.

Poynt provides contextual and relevant advertising to users performing local queries and its revenue model is based on user queries, page views, advertising and transactions within the platform. Each user query generates several page views, which are monetized through display advertising and sponsored listings paid for by advertisers. These advertising placements generate revenues on a cost per thousand impressions (CPM) basis or on a cost per click (CPC) basis. Transactions, such as ticket sales and restaurant reservations, also contribute to revenues on a fee for service basis.
