TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – May 19, 2017) – Intercap Inc. (“Intercap”) and ZipLocal Inc. (NEX:ZIP.H) (“ZipLocal”) are pleased to jointly announce that Intercap has formally commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to the shareholders of ZipLocal to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ZipLocal (the “ZipLocal Shares”) in exchange for (i) cash equal to $0.0035 for each ZipLocal Share (the “Cash Consideration”), or (ii) one non-voting redeemable (on a non-pro rata basis) preferred share of Intercap (an “Intercap Preferred Share”) for each ZipLocal Share (the “Share Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration, the “Offer Consideration”), all of which Intercap Preferred Shares, if issued, will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the Cash Consideration concurrently with, or immediately following, the closing of the Offer.

THE OFFER WILL BE OPEN FOR ACCEPTANCE UNTIL 5:00 P.M. (EASTERN TIME) ON JUNE 26, 2017 (THE “EXPIRY TIME”) UNLESS THE OFFER IS EXTENDED OR WITHDRAWN BY INTERCAP.

ZipLocal has determined, and hereby states that the initial deposit period for the Offer shall be for a minimum period of 35 days commencing on May 19, 2017, the date of the Offer, and this news release constitutes a “deposit period news release”, as contemplated under applicable Canadian securities laws in this regard.

Included in the mailing to ZipLocal shareholders is ZipLocal’s directors’ circular, also dated May 19, 2017.

The board of directors of ZipLocal has unanimously determined that the Offer is fair to ZipLocal Shareholders and in the best interest of ZipLocal and ZipLocal Shareholders and unanimously recommends that ZipLocal Shareholders accept the Offer and deposit their ZipLocal Shares to the Offer.
