Background

The securities regulatory authority or regulator in each of the Jurisdictions (the Decision Maker) has received an application from the Filer for a decision (the Exemption Sought) under the securities legislation of the Jurisdictions (the Legislation) that the Filer is not a reporting issuer.

Under the Process for Exemptive Relief Applications in Multiple Jurisdictions (for a coordinated review application):

(a) the Alberta Securities Commission is the principal regulator for this application; and

(b) this decision is the decision of the principal regulator and evidences the decision of each other Decision Maker.

Interpretation

Terms defined in National Instrument 14-101 Definitions or National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions have the same meaning if used in this decision, unless otherwise defined herein.

2. The Filer is a reporting issuer in each of the Jurisdictions.

3. The Filer resulted from transactions carried out in connection with a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) effective February 20, 2014 (the Arrangement). Pursuant to or as a result of the Arrangement, among other things, all of the following occurred:

(b) 1779958 Alberta Ltd. and Zedi Inc. amalgamated;

(c) the amalgamated entity continued to carry on business as Zedi Inc; and

(d) the Filer's securities were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange on February 21, 2014.

5. On February 18, 2014 the Arrangement was approved at a special meeting of shareholders. Of the shareholders who cast votes, approximately 98% voted in favour of the Arrangement. The Final Order in respect of the Arrangement was granted by the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta on the same date.

6. The outstanding securities of the Filer, including debt securities, are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by 64 security holders. The security holders reside as follows: 6 in British Columbia, 57 in Alberta and 1 in Ontario.

7. Of the 64 security holders:

(a) 14 are directors, officers or other employees of the Filer;

(b) 8 are related to an officer of the Filer, as brother, son, spouse, nephew, sister-in-law or niece;

(c) 1 is a close business associate of a director of the Filer, and one is the spouse of that close business associate; and

(b) the failure to file its interim unaudited financial statements, interim management's discussion and analysis and related certifications for the interim period ended 31 March 2014, due 30 May 2014.

10. The Filer is unable to rely on the simplified procedure set out in CSA Staff Notice 12-307 Applications for a Decision that an Issuer is not a Reporting Issuer because it is in default of securities legislation.

11. The Filer has no current intention to seek public financing by way of an offering of its securities in Canada.

Decision

Each of the Decision Makers is satisfied that the decision meets the test set out in the Legislation for the Decision Maker to make the decision.
