iSIGN Announces Payment for its First Data Sale and Finalized 7 Year Partner Network Agreement for Southeast Asia

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec 9, 2013) - iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:ISD) (OTCQX:ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies throughout North America, is pleased to announce that it has received the initial payment for clean data from Speech and Software Technologies (1) Pvt. Ltd, ("SST").

As previously agreed with SST, iSIGN will now start to deliver data to its data partner Newcomp Analytics ("Newcomp") for analysis, interpretation and evaluation purposes.

Additionally, iSIGN and SST have completed a 7 year Partner Network Agreement ("Agreement") for SST for the exclusive rights to distribute and resell iSIGN's software and hardware solutions in India and southeast Asia. This also includes data sales and reseller status in the United States in tandem with our master distributor in the Americas, GraphicMedia, Inc. As part of the Agreement, SST will be reviewing its markets to establish performance clauses for the duration of the contract.

As previously released, it is expected that Newcomp's analytics will result in enriched insights that will enable the purchaser to resell the final insights at a price of $0.60 to $0.80 per insight. This increase in valuation will benefit iSIGN in that future data sales can be priced based upon this enhanced value.

iSIGN's data is considered to be "clean data", meaning that while the Company is collecting information including, but not limited to, shopper product and brand, offer preferences as well as final purchases, no personal shopper information is being gathered that could identify individual shoppers in any way.

"In addition to working with SST on data sales, we have finalized the Partner Network Agreement with SST and believe this will introduce and launch our data and technology throughout Asia and eventually Europe," said Mr. Alex Romanov, iSIGN's Chief Executive Officer. "We expect this Agreement will be very mutually beneficial to iSIGN and SST, as it will provide access to an extremely large market."

"SST is a well respected company in India and Southeast Asia, with approximately 25% of the company owed by the Tata Group," added Mr. Romanov.
