Memex Completes Early Payout of BDC

Early Payout Eliminates Future Interest and Royalty Payments

Burlington, ON, Canada – June 29, 2016 – Memex Inc. (“Memex” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: OEE) a global leader in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) manufacturing productivity software, today announced it has completed the early settlement of its debt obligation to the Business Development Bank of Canada (the “BDC”).  Funding for the pay-out came primarily from the Company’s Senior Management and Directors, who have collectively exercised $196 thousand of $0.16 warrants that were set to expire.  The early pay-out removes uncertainty over the bonus interest payment, which would have been due at loan maturity (Feb 2018), and also halts royalty interest payments.

Settlement Summary

In exchange for repayment of the outstanding principal ($160 thousand), an interest rate differential payment of $8 thousand, and the negotiated bonus interest payment of $103 thousand, the BDC has agreed to release its security and conclude its lending arrangement with Memex.  That arrangement would have seen the Company continue to pay principal plus interest at 9% in addition to royalty interest (of 1% of each year’s annual sales) and the unknown future bonus interest (2.3% of the Company’s fair value) at the maturity of the loan.

Memex’s Senior Management and Directors Exercise Out-of-the-Money Warrants to Fund Anticipated Early Payout of BDC

Early Payout Reduces Future Interest and Royalty Payments

BURLINGTON, ON–(Marketwired – Jun 21, 2016) – Memex Inc. (“Memex” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: OEE), a global leader in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) manufacturing productivity software, today announced it has come to an agreement in principal for the early settlement of its debt obligation to the Business Development Bank of Canada (the “BDC”). Funding for the pay-out will come primarily from Company’s Senior Management and Directors, who have collectively agreed to exercise $196 thousand of $0.16 warrants that were set to expire. The early pay-out removes uncertainty over the bonus interest payment, which would have been due at loan maturity (Feb 2018), and also halts royalty interest payments.

Settlement Summary
In exchange for repayment of the outstanding principal (currently $168 thousand) over the next three months, an interest rate differential payment of $9 thousand, and the negotiated bonus interest payment of $103 thousand, the BDC has agreed to release its security and conclude its lending arrangement with Memex. That arrangement would have seen the Company continue to pay principal plus interest at 9% in addition to royalty interest (of 1% of each year’s annual sales) and the unknown future bonus interest (2.3% of the Company’s fair value) at the maturity of the loan. Closing is subject to the execution of definitive documentation and is expected to occur on or about June 27, 2016.

Management Comment
“With our future potential we believed it was in the company’s and our investors’ best interest to negotiate the best outcome possible with the BDC right now,” expressed Company CFO Ed Crymble, in reaction to the decision to take out the BDC’s loan position. “The BDC’s bonus interest payment, which would have been based on Memex’s value at maturity, could have been for substantially more than what we agreed to today. Management as well as Company Directors backed up their decision and their belief in Memex’s future by agreeing to pay more than $40 thousand over current trading value with the exercise of their warrants.”
