Divestco Announces Sale of Assets and Repayment of Debt


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - March 25, 2015) - Divestco Inc. ("Divestco" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DVT) is pleased to announce it has sold its Land Software assets (LandRite, iLand and MapQ) to Pandell Technology Corporation ("Pandell"), a pioneer of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry solutions for cash proceeds (the "Transaction"). The Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with Pandell dated March 25, 2015. All accounts receivable, liabilities and other working capital associated with the business prior to the sale were retained by Divestco.

A portion of the total proceeds from the Transaction were used to fully repay a short-term secured loan with Invico Diversified Income Fund in the amount of $4.5 million. The loan was due on March 31, 2015. Divestco intends to use the remaining proceeds for working capital purposes.

Stephen Popadynetz, CEO and President of Divestco: "As previously communicated, Divestco has been looking for methods to reduce its overall debt and to focus its business on its core product lines. This deal fulfills both objectives and allows our Land Software employees to join a focused land software team at Pandell. This will be a significant benefit to Pandell, Divestco, our employees and most importantly, our land customers."

No finder's fees have been paid in connection with the Transaction. The Transaction is an arm's length transaction as the directors, officers and principal shareholders of the Company currently have no interest in Pandell.
