("Edleun" or the "Company") (TSX-V: EDU), a leading provider of quality early childhood education and care in Canada, is pleased to announce that at its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on May 22, 2013 a resolution was approved to change the name of the Company from Edleun Group, Inc. to BrightPath Early Learning Inc. The Company has been operating under the Edleun name since its inception on May 15, 2010.
