COT Shares issued 16,052,668 Jul 7 close $0.30 Wed 7 Jul 99 News Release Ms. Jacqueline Michael reports Conac Software Corp. has entered into an agreement with ATC Corporation of Bothell, Wash., to represent Conac software products. Effective July 1, 1999, ATC president, Courtney Stearns, will become vice-president marketing and sales for Conac Software (USA) Inc. Mr. Stearns will also join the board of directors for Conac Software Corp. Ms. Stearns, through ATC Corporation, has successfully distributed construction management software for 15 years. ATC's pioneering efforts with respect to high-tech, effective sales strategies and techniques have resulted in a sterling industry reputation and steadily increasing sales. These procedures working in concert with the quality staff and software of Conac make for a bright future in terms of sales and product development. According to Jacqueline Michael, president of Conac Software Corp., the development and management infrastructure brought to the table by Ms. Stearns and ATC will compliment the existing structure of Conac. In particular, sales for ATC have averaged in excess of $1.3-million (Canadian) over the last few years and are expected to supplement the growing U.S. sales volume of Conac Software (USA) Inc. Ms. Stearns, whose views on the disposition and practical application of construction software have been published in national construction industry magazines, was quoted: "Conac's products represent the state of the art in construction management software. The commitment of management to visionary yet practical software applications for the construction industry excite me. This vision, the existing software tools, and our confidence in presenting solutions to customers makes Conac a powerful force in the marketplace. Clearly, we are extremely pleased to join Conac at this time. Their burgeoning position as a market leader represents an irresistible opportunity." In addition to Ms. Stearns, ATC will bring the balance of its experienced staff to assist in the company's U.S. sales activities. Due to the continuing reduction in the sales cycle, U.S. revenue has been growing steadily since the U.S. office opened in October, 1998. May, 1999, proved to be the most significant month to date. Private Placement The company has arranged a non-brokered private placement of four million units at 25 cents to raise $500,000. Each unit shall consist of one share and one warrant. One whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share at 25 cents for 12 months following the date of issue of the warrant and thereafter, at 30 cents until 24 months following the date of issue of the warrant. Finder's fee of 2 per cent will be payable on gross proceeds. The previous announcement on May 4, 1999, for 1.5 million units at 50 cents has been cancelled.
