Zedi Inc. ("Zedi" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ZED) announces that it has
filed its Management Information Circular (the "Circular") and related proxy
materials on SEDAR and mailed these materials to Zedi's shareholders in
preparation for the special meeting of shareholders to be held in connection
with its previously announced going private transaction (the "Arrangement").


On December 19, 2013, Zedi announced that it had entered into a definitive
arrangement agreement (as amended as of January 13, 2014, the "Arrangement
Agreement") pursuant to which a management-led group will acquire all of the
issued and outstanding common shares of Zedi at a price of $1.05 per Zedi share.



The Arrangement will be considered by Zedi shareholders at a special meeting of
Zedi Shareholders to be held at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP, 4500 Bankers
Hall East, 855 - 2nd Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta on February 18, 2014 at 10:00
a.m. (Calgary time).


Shareholders of record on January 16, 2014 will receive notice of and be
entitled to vote at the special meeting. The Circular provides information
about, among other things, the Arrangement, the vote required to approve the
Arrangement, the procedure for receiving payment for Zedi shares and other
related matters. . 


Shareholders are urged to carefully review the Circular and accompanying
materials as they contain important information regarding the Arrangement and
its consequences to shareholders.


On January 16, 2014, Zedi obtained an interim order of the Court of Queen's
Bench of Alberta authorizing the calling and holding of the special meeting.
Assuming that the Arrangement is approved by Zedi Shareholders by the requisite
shareholder votes, Zedi is currently scheduled to seek a final order approving
the Arrangement on February 18, 2014 at 1:15 p.m. (Calgary time).


The closing of the Arrangement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of
conditions precedent customary for transactions of this nature. If these
conditions are satisfied, it is expected that the closing will occur on or about
February 20, 2014.


Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. A copy of the
Circular is available on Zedi's website at www.zedi.ca. It is also available
under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Canadian securities laws. These forward-looking statements contain statements of
intent, belief or current expectations of Zedi. Forward-looking information is
often, but not always identified by the use of words such as "anticipate",
"believe", "expect", "plan", "intend", "forecast", "target", "project", "may",
"will", "should", "could", "estimate", "predict" or similar words suggesting
future outcomes or language suggesting an outlook. 


The forward-looking statements included in this press release, including
statements regarding the Arrangement, the receipt of necessary shareholder and
court approvals, the holding the special meeting of shareholders of Zedi, the
conditions to the completion of the Arrangement and the timing of closing of the
Arrangement, are not guarantees of future results and involve risks and
uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the
potential results discussed in the forward-looking statements. In respect of the
forward-looking statements and information concerning the completion of the
Arrangement and the anticipated timing for completion of the Arrangement, Zedi
has provided such in reliance on certain assumptions that it believes are
reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the ability of the parties
to receive, in a timely manner and on satisfactory terms, the necessary
regulatory, court, shareholder, stock exchange and other third party approvals
and the ability of the parties to satisfy, in a timely manner, the other
conditions to the closing of the Arrangement. 


Risks and uncertainties that may cause such differences include but are not
limited to: the risk that the Arrangement may not be completed on a timely
basis, if at all; the conditions to the consummation of the Arrangement may not
be satisfied; the risk that the Arrangement may involve unexpected costs,
liabilities or delays; the risk that, prior to the completion of the
Arrangement, Zedi's business may experience significant disruptions, including
the loss of customers or employees, due to transaction-related uncertainty or
other factors; the possibility that legal proceedings may be instituted against
Zedi and/or others relating to the Arrangement and the outcome of such
proceedings; the possible occurrence of an event, change or other circumstance
that could result in termination of the Arrangement Agreement; risks regarding
the failure of the acquiror to obtain the necessary financing to complete the
Arrangement; risks related to the diversion of management's attention from
Zedi's ongoing business operations; risks relating to the failure to obtain
necessary shareholder and court approvals; risks related to obtaining the
requisite consents to the Arrangement; other risks inherent in the oilfield
services industry; and risks, including litigation, associated with Zedi's
intellectual property and with the performance of Zedi's technology. Failure to
obtain the requisite approvals, or the failure of the parties to otherwise
satisfy the conditions to or complete the Arrangement, may result in the
Arrangement not being completed on the proposed terms, or at all. In addition,
if the Arrangement is not completed, and Zedi continues as an independent
entity, the announcement of the Arrangement and the dedication of substantial
resources of Zedi to the completion of the Arrangement could have a material
adverse impact on Zedi's share price, its current business relationships
(including with future and prospective employees, customers, distributors,
suppliers and partners) and on the current and future operations, financial
condition and prospects of Zedi. When relying on forward-looking statements to
make decisions, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing
factors and other uncertainties and potential events.


The forward-looking statements in this press release are made as of the date it
was issued and Zedi does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or to
revise any of the included forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable
law. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and
uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks that outcomes implied by
forward-looking statements will not be achieved. Zedi cautions readers not to
place undue reliance on these statements.
