Zaio Receives Approval From the TSX Venture Exchange to Terminate the
National License Agreement with Zone Data Systems
Calgary, Alberta – January 28, 2015 - Zaio Corporation (TSXV: ZAO) (the "Company" or "Zaio") is
pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to terminate
the National License Agreement ("NLA") with Zone Data Systems, LLC ("ZDS"). The Company expects
to close the transaction within two weeks. Termination of the NLA will allow Zaio to sell its appraisal and
valuation products directly in the United States, and recognize revenue generated from these sales. It also
enables Zaio to regain operational control of the US territory related to administrative and sales functions.
In exchange for termination of the NLA, ZDS will receive 13,600,000 Zaio common shares and 13,600,000
share purchase warrants priced at $0.20 per warrant exercisable for 12 months on the date that is one year
from date of issue.
“The termination of the National License Agreement is an important value creation milestone for our
company and shareholders, as we begin the recognize revenue on the sale of our GEAR product line,” said
David King, President and CEO of Zaio Corporation. “We have a large and committed set of partners
across the country who continue to be Zone Licensees. Under new contracts, we now have a nationwide
platform with the ZDS Zone Licensees working side by side with members of the Valuation Vision realtor
panel, and the Axis Appraisal Management appraiser panel. Altogether, delivering a range of valuation and
regulated appraisal products in all 50 states. We can now actively pursue national accounts.”
The NLA was initially signed in 2009 and provided for ZDS to manage revenue and collect 50% of net
profits for all sales in the US from Zaio’s technology and data platform. Zaio signed a letter of intent to
acquire the NLA in July 2013 and signed a definitive agreement to terminate the NLA in December 2013.
