EmerGeo Announces Transactions with SAI InfoSystems (India) Ltd.
Vancouver, B.C., – Vancouver, B.C. – November 15, 2011 – EmerGeo Solutions Worldwide Inc. (TSX-V: EMG) (“EmerGeo” or the “Company”), a leading provider of emergency management software and consulting services, today announced that it has arranged and agreed to a series of transactions (the “Transactions”) by which SAI InfoSystems (India) Ltd. (“SIS”) will, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval and satisfactory due diligence, acquire 85% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the “Shares”) on an undiluted basis, and up to 80% of the Shares on a fully diluted basis. The Transactions will consist of i) a non-brokered private placement of 63,333,333 Shares at a price of $0.06 per Share for gross proceeds of $3,800,000.00, and ii) the purchase by SIS of an aggregate of 5,572,728 Shares (the “Vendors’ Shares”) from four shareholders of the Company for $0.0359 per share. The Company will use the net proceeds of the private placement to fund ongoing development and marketing of its FusionpointTM web-based crisis information management system and software.
The securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a four month statutory hold period.
SIS is an arm’s length unlisted public limited company based in Ahmedabad, India. Founded in 1992 by Mr. Sunil Kakkad, an electronics and communication engineer and entrepreneur, SIS is an information and communication technology company and systems integrator. It has direct operations in 17 Indian states and more than 100 support centres. It also has offices and operations in the United States. For further information about SIS, please refer to its website www.saicare.com.
If the Transactions are completed, SIS will become a “control person” pursuant to applicable securities laws and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). A “control person” is defined as any person that holds or is one of a combination of persons that holds a sufficient number of any of the securities of the Company so as to affect materially the control of the Company, or that holds more than 20% of the outstanding voting shares of the Company, except where there is evidence showing that the holder of those securities does not materially affect the control of the Company.
TSXV Policy 4.1 requires that disinterested shareholders approve a private placement if the number of shares to be issued may result in, or is part of a transaction that may result in, the creation of a new control person. The Company intends to seek disinterested shareholder approval of the Transactions at its annual and special general meeting scheduled to be held on December 21, 2011.
The private placement will be completed in two tranches. In the first tranche, SIS will subscribe for 3,333,333 Shares at a price of $0.06 per Share for gross proceeds of $200,000. As a result, SIS will acquire approximately 12.7% of the Company Shares on a fully diluted basis and Mr. Kakkad will be appointed to the Company’s board of directors. Completion of the first tranche is subject to TSXV acceptance but does not require disinterested shareholder approval. In the subsequent tranche, assuming all required approvals are obtained and subject to satisfactory due diligence, SIS will subscribe for 60,000,000 Shares at a price of $0.06 per Share for gross proceeds of $3,600.000.00. Concurrently with completion of the second tranche, SIS will complete the acquisition of the Vendors’ Shares.
A finder’s fee is payable on the private placement.
EmerGeo CEO Rick MacDonald commented: “We are very pleased to have SIS join the Company as a significant shareholder. SIS is a proven world leader in information technology and will provide immediate strength and credibility to our products and services.”

Case Study (Feb 2011): Fusionpoint Supports Major US-Canada Cross Border Exercise
EmerGeo in partnership with FutureShield and the University of Windsor joined forces with emergency responders to provide situational awareness and crisis management software in support of a major US-Canada cross border exercise called Exercise Central Gateway 1.
The purpose of this joint exercise was to test emergency preparedness and response during a mock terrorism event – one of the biggest Ontario exercises ever. With Windsor being so close to the US border and a vital traffic flow corridor for trade between the US and Canada, participants understood the value of securing their location for the economic well-being of Canada.
This event was a “first” for many things, and it seemed to be the most-used phrase among participants: “first time” things were tried, “first time” to see something function in the field, “first time” to see something work. And one of the biggest “firsts” that were shown in this exercise is the realization that private industry, academia, government officials and first responders can work together to enhance and improve our ability to keep our nation safe and secure.
With the incredible efforts among the exercise coordinators and participants, the government funding by organizations such as the DRDC Centre for Security Science and its CRTI and PSTP programs, with private industry like EmerGeo and FutureShield offering their technology support and products, this exercise showed that this first will not be the last.
