I am pleased to inform you that COMTEX Trade Exchange Inc. has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Barter Network Ltd. of Toronto, ON.

The merging of these two client bases will not only strengthen your COMTEX Trade Dollar in Montréal, it will provide you with expanded trade opportunities in Toronto and Ottawa.

As the winner of the Consumer's Choice Award winner in both Ottawa and Toronto for the past 4 years, Barter Network is by far the largest and fastest growing barter company in Canada with approximately 2500 actively trading clients and an annual trade flow of just under $60 Million dollars.

Barter Network is headquartered in Toronto, but will maintain both its energetic broker Linda Brière as well as its current office in Montréal at 1340, Notre-Dame Ouest. There will be only a few immediate changes to trade policies, including some new procedures for authorizations, payments, etc.

For any questions and for all of your trading needs, please continue to contact Linda Brière at 514.938.1234 or linda@comtextrade.com.

Sincerely,

Herbert Teichmann, President
Échange commercial COMTEX Trade Exchange Inc.
