SelectCore Announces Strategic Initiatives to Strengthen Balance Sheet

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 11, 2014) -

NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES.

The Board of Directors of SelectCore Ltd. ("SelectCore Payments" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SCG) is pleased to announce a new strategic course aimed at strengthening the Company's balance sheet. One component of this course may be the Company seeking to complete a non-brokered private offering (the "Offering") of Series A Preferred Shares at a price and quantity to be determined. While the Company has initiated discussions with various parties, no terms have been finalized and the offering would be subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. Management believes that the current share price does not reflect the true value of the Company and as such an equity financing of common shares would be far too dilutive to existing shareholders and new long term debt would not be in the best interests of the Company.

Another component of the strategy may be the Company seeking to divest its non-core, legacy telecom assets (the "Divesture"). While the Company has initiated discussions with interested parties, no terms have been finalized.

There are no guarantees the Company will be successful in completing the Offering or the Divesture. In any event, the Company intends to use the proceeds to improve its working capital position and support its financial services business.
