Mr. Brian Hinchcliffe reports
Jordex Resources Inc. shareholders have overwhelmingly approved a change in the company's
name to iTech Capital Corp. Effective Wednesday, March 15, the company's listing symbol on
the Toronto Stock Exchange will be changed to ITE.
"The name change, approved at a special meeting of shareholders March 10, reflects the
organization's new direction as a business development company, providing financial and
human resources to emerging technology companies," said iTech chairman Brian Hinchcliffe.
"iTech Capital's focus is on business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce and telecommunications,
two sectors that we believe offer the best opportunities for building shareholder value in the new
economy."
iTech Capital's strategy of investing in emerging technology companies allows its investors to
participate in the phenomenal growth of companies in the Internet and telecommunications
industries. The company's goal is to grow world-class companies by providing the financial
resources and the incubation services required for success.
"We are investing in the new economy," said Hinchcliffe. "We are giving our shareholders a
window on the fastest growing, most exciting U.S. companies in the new economy."
In the past 10 months, iTech has made investments in five emerging growth companies. iTech's
co-investing alliances with two venture capital firms, The Argentum Group, in New York, and
MF Private Capital, of Boston, provide iTech with a steady stream of investment opportunities in
the Internet and telecommunications industries. A few of these companies are likely to
undertake a liquidity event in the next six to 12 months.
Shareholders at the March 10 meeting also approved the appointment of two new directors,
Dale M. Flanagan, senior partner in the TMP executive search division, TMP Worldwide, the
parent company of the leading Internet employment site Monster.com, and Paul M. Stein,
partner in the Canadian law firm of Cassels, Brock & Blackwell.
