ADX Advantex Marketing International Inc

Advantex Marketing International Inc. ("Advantex") (CSE:ADX), a leading
specialist in the marketing services industry, is providing an update on
short-term transition matters affecting its business.


The recently announced agreement with The Toronto Dominion Bank ("TD") means
that rewards are a fully integrated feature of the TD Aeroplan suite of credit
cards, automatically awarding credit card holders with bonus Aeroplan Miles on
completed purchases at over 1,000 independent merchants participating in the
Advantex programs. Through Advantex, participating merchants will have the
opportunity to offer benefits to holders of both TD Aeroplan and CIBC Aeroplan
credit cardholders.


"More than before, being a part of the Advantex programs will provide an
affordable tool for independent merchants to market their business to a larger
portfolio of Canadian credit cardholders. The expected growth in transactions at
participating merchants provides a significant and sustainable opportunity for
growth in revenues and profitability of Advantex," said Kelly Ambrose, Advantex
President and Chief Executive Officer.


Prior to the launch of the TD Aeroplan program, scheduled for later this summer,
Advantex will experience a period during which its revenues and liquidity will
be impacted by the transition of certain credit cardholders moving from the CIBC
Aeroplan program to TD Aeroplan. Once Advantex launches the TD Aeroplan program,
it will be in a position to recoup the temporary shortfall in revenues and
liquidity.


Advantex has the support of its financial partners, employees and CIBC. Holders
of its outstanding non-convertible debentures have agreed to defer an interest
payment due June 15. This interest payment will now be made in two installments
in October and November, 2014. They have also agreed to amend and re-set certain
financial covenants. Our employees have voluntarily taken a deferral of their
remuneration from mid-June to end of August. The deferred amounts will
subsequently be paid over a three month period. CIBC, our partner of about two
decades, and Accord Financial are also supporting us during this transition.


"I want to thank all our stakeholders for their support. We expect to repay
their loyalty and patience with steadily improving financial performance. We
also expect to share other positive developments respecting our on-going
partnerships. Loyalty Marketing is a multi-billion dollars business in North
America and Advantex, with its proprietary technology and reputable partners, is
well positioned to gain a wider share of this market," said Mr. Ambrose.
