EXO U files a notice of intention under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act

MONTREAL, Feb. 10, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - EXO U Inc. ("EXO U" or the "Corporation")") (TSX Venture EXO), announced today that it has filed a Notice of intention to Make a Proposal pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (NOI), seeking protection from its creditors. As a consequence of such filing, any and all recourses of EXO U's creditors are stayed for an initial period of thirty (30) days.

Considering its current situation, the Corporation had no choice but to considerably scale down its operations and lay off certain employees until a final solution is identified.  In this regard, the Chief Executive Officer (Mr. Jim Kirchner), President (Mr. Shan Ahdoot) and Chief Financial Officer (Mr. Doug McCollam) have handed in their immediate resignations, but Mr. Kirchner and Mr. Ahdoot will continue their duties as directors with the Board of Directors.

EXO U has retained the services of Richter Advisory Group Inc. (represented by Gilles Robillard, CPA, CA, CIRP, LIT) to act as its trustee in connection with the NOI.

The Corporation will provide further updates as the process evolves.

While under the protection of its creditors, EXO U's Board of Directors will maintain its usual role.
