VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glance Technologies Inc. (CSE:GET.CN)
(OTCQB:GLNNF) (FKT:GJT) (“Glance” or the “Company”) today cautioned shareholders that they should carefully review any biographical
information they receive from Penny Green regarding John LoGiudice, one of Ms. Green’s dissident nominees for the Glance Board of
Directors.
Glance is developing a Management Information Circular (“MIC”) with a complete response to Ms. Green’s
requisition to change Glance’s Board (the “Green Requisition”). Glance intends to file this response, including a description of
Glance’s excellent progress and prospects, well in advance of the June 12, 2018 shareholders’ meeting. Pursuant to applicable
securities laws, Glance does not intend to solicit proxies for that meeting until the MIC has been filed.
However, Glance does wish to call shareholders’ attention to irregularities in the resume of dissident nominee
Mr. LoGiudice. Glance noticed the irregularities based on a comparison of publicly-filed documents against two Green Requisition
documents. In particular, and as described in further detail below:
- Florida state records do not support the Green Requisition’s assertion of success for Mr. LoGiudice’s 13 startups; and
- Mr. LoGiudice is not listed as President of telecommunications multinational Ericsson in any of that company’s annual
reports, contrary to certain assertions contained in the Green Requisition.
The unsupported claim of 13 successful startups
In the Green Requisition news release, dated February 21, 2018, Mr. LoGiudice is proclaimed to have played
“senior roles in helping numerous start-up companies reach success.” The news release lists the names of 13 such companies (the “13
Startups”).
First, the list of 13 Startups is inflated: Florida state records show that three of the companies are the same:
they just changed names as is evident from the filings below.

More significantly, far from achieving success, all but one were dissolved or became inactive. For further
certainty, Glance provides the table below, including an embedded URL link to relevant Florida state records in the Status
column.

The claim to have been President of Ericsson
In one portion of a Green Requisition document, Mr. LoGiudice is listed as having been the President of Ericsson
from 2009 to 2017. The claim is made in a biographical “Nominee Profile” table that forms part of a document dated February 20,
2018 and filed on SEDAR the following day, on Ms. Green’s behalf and reproduced below on the next page.

http://resource.globenewswire.com/Resource/Download/3847faa4-81b7-4876-9df2-92aa4dd2d6b3
Glance reviewed Ericsson’s annual reports and news releases, going back as far as 2008. For President, Glance
found the following names, none of which are Mr. LoGiudice’s:
- January 15, 2017 and ongoing: Börje Ekholm
- July 25, 2016 – January 15, 2017: Jan Frykhammar
- January 1, 2010 - July 24, 2016: Hans Vestberg
- April 8, 2003 - December 31, 2009: Carl-Henric Svanberg
Questions for Ms. Green and the other dissident nominees
Here are some questions that shareholders should now be asking Ms. Green:
- Does she believe that she delivered full, true and plain disclosure about Mr. LoGiudice in the Nominee profile and news
release regarding the requisition?
- Did she really believe that all of the 13 Startups associated with Mr. LoGiudice were successful?
- Did she really believe that Mr. LoGiudice was a former President of Ericsson?
- What steps did she take to investigate Mr. LoGiudice prior to submitting the requisition and publishing the related news
release?
- Does she now believe that her investigation was adequate?
Here are two questions that shareholders should now be asking Ms. Green’s two other dissident nominees, Spiros
Margaris and William Davis III:
- Do Mr. Margaris and Mr. Davis believe that they took adequate steps to investigate Mr. LoGiudice before agreeing to stand
with him as dissident nominees?
- Do Mr. Margaris and Mr. Davis believe that they took adequate steps to investigate each other and Ms. Green before agreeing
to stand as Ms. Green’s dissident nominees?

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking information or forward-looking statements (collectively

identified by words such as: “may”, “believe”, “thinks”, “expect”, “exploring”, “expand”, “could”, “anticipate”, “intend”,
“estimate”, “plan”, “pursue”, “potentially”, “projected”, “should”, “will” and similar expressions, or are those, which, by their
nature, refer to future events. These forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to, among other
things, Glance’s intention to file a response to the Green Requisition well in advance of June 12, 2018 shareholders’ meeting, the
response to the Green Requisition containing a description of Glance’s excellent progress and prospects and Glance’s intention not
to solicit proxies for the June 12, 2018 shareholders’ meeting until the MIC has been filed. Although Glance considers these
forward-looking statements to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect, and the
forward-looking statements in this release are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause future
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, among
other things, risks related to the ability of Glance to file a response to the Green Requisition on schedule, the risk that Glance
will fail to have excellent progress and prospects, and risks related to the development of a rewards-based cryptocurrency.
Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are in addition based on various estimates, forecasts and projects as
well as expectations, beliefs and assumptions, including, without limitation, the assumption that the response to the Green
Requisition will contain a description of Glance’s excellent progress and prospects and the timing for filing this response.
For additional information with respect to these and other factors and assumptions underlying the forward looking statements in
this press release, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recent Prospectus of Glance, which may be accessed through
Glance’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Glance cautions investors that any forward-looking information provided by Glance is
not a guarantee of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking
statements. Undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking information, as there can be no assurance that the plans,
intentions or expectations upon which they are based will occur.
