September 16, 2015 – Mississauga, ON

Smart Employee Benefits Inc. (“SEB” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:SEB), is pleased to announce that it has engaged Raymond James Ltd. to lead a syndicate of agents to be named to complete a private placement of convertible debentures of the Company on a “best efforts” basis. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to fund the Company’s proposed acquisition of Maplesoft Group Inc. (“Maplesoft”), as described in a press release dated June 11, 2015, and for general corporate purposes. Terms and pricing of the convertible debentures will be determined in the context of the market and further information in respect of the offering will be disclosed in a subsequent press release.

The proposed acquisition of Maplesoft is expected to increase the consolidated annual revenue of SEB by over $45 million, and contribute substantially to the overall profitability of SEB. On closing of the Maplesoft acquisition, SEB’s annual consolidated sales are forecasted to exceed $110 million. Maplesoft will provide SEB with 18 multi-million dollar client references, including 5 references with contract values of over $10 million each. While significantly enhancing SEB’s relationships with the Federal Government, Maplesoft is also expected to expand SEB’s presence in Ottawa and will extend the Company’s national geographic footprint to Calgary and Montreal.
