CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Oct. 26, 2012) - Poynt Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PYN) ("Poynt Corp." or the "Company"), a global leader in mobile local search and advertising, today announced that Hardie & Kelly Inc. of Calgary, Alberta, (the "Trustee") the trustee appointed for the Company's Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal (the "Proposal Proceedings") under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)("BIA"), has today filed a Material Adverse Change Report (the "Report") with the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (Canada).

The Report refers to the agreement entered into by the Company with a third party lender (the "Lender") dated October 16, 2012 for debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing in an aggregate amount of one million Canadian dollars (CDN$1,000,000) (the "October 16^th Loan"). The Report outlines that the DIP financing under the October 16^th Loan has not yet been advanced to the Company by the Lender, that the Company is therefor unable to meet its outstanding post BIA-filing obligations and as such the Trustee considers there to be material adverse change in the cash flow and financial circumstances of the Company. The Report also states that the Trustee intends on making an application (the "Court Application") to the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta (the "Court") to terminate the Stay of Proceedings (the "Stay") originally implemented by the Court under the BIA, due to the Trustee being of the opinion that the Company's creditors as a whole would be materially prejudiced should the Stay remain in place given the lack of funding under the October 16^th Loan. The Trustee expects to make the Court Application on Wednesday October 31, 2012 at 3:00 pm (Calgary time). The Report adds that should the Stay be terminated, the Company will be deemed to have made an assignment into bankruptcy. The deemed bankruptcy of the Company would result in the Company immediately ceasing operations and undergoing a liquidation process in accordance with the terms of the BIA.

Despite the filing of the Report, Poynt Corp. will be working with the Lender to rectify the non-funding of the October 16^th Loan to ensure that the full $1 million principal amount of this loan is funded to the Company on or prior to the date of the Court Application. Poynt Corp. will be also be working with its secured lender and its other DIP lenders during this period to ensure such parties are in support of its actions.

Provided the Company is successful in the foregoing efforts, it expects that the Trustee will withdraw the Court Application and the Stay will be continued to at least November 26, 2012, with approximately $480,000 of the loan proceeds then being used by the Company to meet outstanding post BIA-filing obligations, with the balance of the loan proceeds being used to fund operations to at least November 26, 2012.
