NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

Epic Data International Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:EKD), a provider of manufacturing execution systems (MES), today announced it intends to raise up to an aggregate of $2,000,000 by way of a non-brokered private placement of a combination of common shares at a price of $0.20 per share and secured convertible redeemable debentures (the "Debentures"), which are convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.20 per share.

The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of prime plus 2% per annum, will be payable monthly in arrears and will be due on the later of June 30, 2016 or 4 years from the date of closing of the private placement (the "Maturity Date"). The Debentures may be redeemed at face value in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Company on the date (the "Redemption Date") that is not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days following prior written notice to the holder. The Debentures may be converted into fully paid common shares of the Company at the sole option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the day which is the earlier of the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date at $0.20 per share. The Debentures will be secured by a second ranking charge against all the assets of the Company.

The proceeds will be used to market the Company's manufacturing operations management software products, to fund product development and for general working capital purposes.

Certain insiders of the Company may acquire securities under the private placement. That portion of the private placement that is sold to insiders may be considered a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Canadian securities legislation and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Company anticipates that it will be able to rely on exemptions to the shareholder approval and valuation requirements imposed by Canadian securities legislation and the policies of the Exchange in respect of the related party transactions.

All securities issued pursuant to the private placement are subject to a four month hold period following the closing date. The closing of the private placement is subject to the acceptance of the Exchange.

Grant of Stock Options

The Company announces the granting of 100,000 stock options to a senior executive. The term of the options will be 7 years from the date of grant and the exercise price will be $0.10 per share.

Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements

In this document and in other documents filed with Canadian regulatory authorities or in other communications, the Company may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including statements regarding the closing of the financing and the Company's business plans and financial objectives. These statements typically use words such as prospects, believe, estimate, forecast, project, expect, anticipate, plan, may, should, could and would, or the negative of these terms, variations thereof or similar terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific in nature. It is therefore possible that the forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved or will prove inaccurate. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it provides no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company cautions readers against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements when making decisions, as the actual results could differ considerably from the opinions, plans, objectives, expectations, forecasts, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements due to various material factors. Among other things, these factors include fiscal and economic policies, changes in interest and foreign exchange rates, and general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory developments, competition and access to capital. The Company further cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. For more information on the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that would cause the Company's actual results to differ from current expectations, please also refer to the Company's public filings available at [ www.sedar.com ].
