("Input" or the "Company") (TSX Venture Exchange: INP) announced today that in connection with the previously announced amendment to the bought deal public offering (the "Public Offering") of Class A common voting shares of Input ("Common Shares"), two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Catlin Group Limited (the "Strategic Investors") have exercised their right under the investment agreement with Input dated September 16, 2013 (the "Investment Agreement") to increase the number of Common Shares to be purchased by the Strategic Investors (the "Private Placement") by 918,383 Common Shares.
