The Technology Will be Used to Extend its Disclosure Platform as the Company Continues to Increase its Higher Margin, Platform Licensing Product Mix

MORRISVILLE, NC / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2015 / Issuer Direct Corporation (NYSE MKT: ISDR), a market leader and innovator of disclosure management solutions and cloud-based compliance technologies, today announced it has entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire a cloud-based, reporting platform technology from Xselus LLC. The acquisition provides Issuer Direct a unique and logical path toward expanding its business and creating the opportunity to introduce higher value-added products and services into both existing and new adjacent markets. The technology will be incorporated into Issuer Direct's existing Disclosure Management System (DMS), which will enable the Company to offer an issuer a controlled reporting platform.

Brian Balbirnie, CEO of Issuer Direct commented, "This acquisition exemplifies our commitment to becoming an end to end platform for the disclosure and communications marketplace. What makes the Xselus transaction truly unique, is the expertise and thought leadership of the founders, Alex Neblett and John Yapundich, who have joined Issuer Direct in order to assist in growing both our platform and disclosure business. Previous to founding Xselus, Alex and John were founding partners of EDGARfilings and creators of EDGARizer(R), which they sold in 2008 - as such they have a proven understanding of the market and we are delighted to have them on board."

There are approximately 8,500 + SEC reporting issuers, and more than 75% of them still outsource control of the document to service providers - this is a significant number considering the document properties have not changed in years.

"Given that Issuer Direct is building the ultimate compliance platform, and Xsellus is a key component, Alex and I are thrilled to be joining an amazing team at this juncture in the company's history," stated John Yapundich.

"Issuer Direct's vision to integrate news distribution, full compliance and communications in the flow, is unique in the industry and as such provides Issuer Direct with a clear opportunity to dominate the market for the many smaller issuers," said Alex Neblett.

Mr. Balbirnie concluded, "As we move our business towards a software-based Platform engagement, we are not only anticipating increased margins from our disclosure business, but management also expects to see significant client growth as the product offer is fully commercialized."
