Solium Announces Acquisition of GlobalSharePlans

CALGARY, Dec. 5, 2013 /CNW/ - Solium Capital Inc. ("Solium" or the "Company") (TSX: SUM), the leading global provider of software-as-a-service for equity administration, financial reporting and compliance, today announced that it will acquire GlobalSharePlans, a leading online provider of regulatory and tax advice for companies with global equity incentive plans.

GlobalSharePlans provides regulatory and tax advice through online databases, automated alerts and a network of experts spanning more than 150 countries, helping companies to put in place international equity incentive plans across multiple tax jurisdictions and ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.  GlobalSharePlans provides a strong functional complement to Solium's Shareworks™ platform, further enhancing Solium's industry leading global taxation and compliance services that help reduce the cost of ownership of administering global share plans.

Consideration for the acquisition will include cash and the issuance of approximately 200,000 common shares in the capital of Solium.  The actual number of shares to be issued will be determined at closing using the volume weighted average price of the common shares for the five days of trading on the TSX preceding closing.
