IGN iShares North American Tech Multimedia Networking

IGEN Networks Corp (the "Company" or "IGEN") (OTCQB:IGEN) (CSE:IGN) announces it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to acquire Webtrack S.A. de C.V. ("Webtrack"), a Mexican private corporation that provides end-to-end GPS-based vehicle telematics and analytics services in Mexico. The parties have agreed to a purchase price of US$5 million and to proceed toward completion of a definitive agreement subject to due diligence.

Founded in 2008, Webtrack serves both the consumer automotive and commercial fleet industry in Mexico supporting over 15,000 mobile assets and 300 customers that include The AXA Group, GNP Seguros, Autofin México, Ford, Ford Credit, and Lincoln. Webtrack, an early pioneer of telematics and Stolen Vehicle Recovery (SVR) in Mexico, has developed sophisticated analytics tools for analyzing and reporting driver behavior, and has provided solutions for several of the largest insurance companies in the country. Through its partner company Prolog S.A. de C.V., Webtrack is a Ford Motor Co Tier 1 supplier.

"We believe the proposed acquisition of Webtrack will provide us with increased North American presence and expanded service offerings," said Neil Chan, President and CEO of IGEN. "Mexico and the U.S. are the largest new car markets in the Western Hemisphere, and it is projected that during the next five years they will account for a large part of the US$1.6T industry."

CEO Chan added, "The combination of Webtrack's offerings with those of our growing subsidiary Nimbo LLC will provide us with a broad platform of service offerings to address this growing market. It's also consistent with the strategy we have been communicating to our investors of creating shareholder value through growth of our existing business combined with creating or acquiring best-in-class solutions that will help us grow globally."
