Epsilon also announces that it has received TSX approval to a Notice of Intention to commence a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the TSX, permitting the Corporation to repurchase, for cancellation, up to $3,997,000 principal amount of the $39,965,000 principal amount 7.75% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures originally issued on February 28, 2012 ("convertible debentures") issued and outstanding as at September 30, 2014 (the "debenture NCIB").

To the knowledge of the directors and officers of Epsilon, no director or officer, associate of a director or officer of the Corporation, no person acting jointly or in concert with the Corporation nor any person holding 10 percent or more of the common shares has any present intention to sell common shares or convertible debentures during the period of the normal course issuer bid. During the past 12 months, the Corporation previously purchased 1,296,710 common shares, at an average price of $3.73 per share, pursuant to a normal course issuer bid which expired on September 18, 2014.

Epsilon believes that the market price of the common shares does not fully reflect the value of its business and its future business prospects and represents an attractive investment opportunity. Epsilon currently has uncommitted cash available which it can use for these bids and the Corporation is of the view that long-term value for its remaining shareholders will be enhanced.
