International Datacasting Corporation Announces Resignation of Board Member and Promissory Note Repayment

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 18, 2015) - International Datacasting Corporation ("IDC") (TSX:IDC), a technology provider for the world's premiere broadcasters, today announced the resignation of David Charron (independent director), effective immediately. As a result, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of IDC has commenced its search for a new director. In carrying out its search, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider, among other factors, feedback received from shareholders at the recent annual and special meeting of shareholders.

Mr. Van Staveren commented "On behalf of the whole Board, I would like to express our appreciation to David for his significant contribution and energy in assisting IDC through these challenging times."

Additionally, as the proposed sale of IDC's broadcast products business and its related assets to Pico Digital Inc. ("Pico") was not approved by IDC's shareholders at the recent annual and special meeting, the asset purchase agreement between IDC and Pico has been formally terminated. Pico has demanded repayment of its US $1.0 million promissory note plus accrued interest. IDC intends to fully repay the promissory note plus accrued interest by June 25, 2015 from internal financial resources, subject to delivery by Pico of customary releases and discharges.

The Board continues to explore various financing options to support the ongoing operations of IDC and currently expects to complete a financing transaction within the next month.
