Orbite Provides Corporate Update

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - May 24, 2017) - Orbite Technologies Inc. ("Orbite" or the "Company") today provided an update on its continuing efforts to emerge from insolvency protection for the benefit all of its stakeholders.

CCAA Court extends the Stay Period

As announced on May 1, 2017, the Company filed a petition for continuance of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act proceedings under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA"). The Superior Court of Québec granted the petition and issued an initial order pursuant to the CCAA providing for an initial stay of all proceedings until May 29^th, 2017 (the "Stay Period"). On May 23, the Company filed a motion seeking, namely, the extension of the Stay Period and the Superior Court of Québec granted the motion and issued an amended and restated order:

• extending the Stay Period until August 4, 2017;
  
  
• approving a Key Employee Retention Program ("KERP") in respect of certain employees of Orbite and authorizing a KERP charge against the property of Orbite; and
  
  
• relieving Orbite from its obligation to call the annual meeting of shareholders on or before June 30, 2017 and directing Orbite to call such annual meeting, as the case may be, by January 31, 2018.

The Company believes that such orders will be beneficial to all stakeholders by giving the Company the required time and resources to emerge from CCAA protection. There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts or will emerge from CCAA protection.

The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

Listing on the NEX board

On May 19, 2017, the TSX Venture Exchange issued a bulletin confirming the listing of the Company's common shares on the NEX Board under the symbol ORT.H, towards a possible relisting, as a first step, on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") when and if the Company emerges from creditor protection and meets the listing requirements of the TSX-V.

However, the common shares will remain suspended from trading until further notice, and there can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in obtaining the listing of its common shares on the TSX-V or on any other stock exchange.
