/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES WIRE SERVICES/

OTTAWA, May 17, 2013  – Halogen Software Inc. (“Halogen” or the “Company”), a leading provider of cloud based talent management solutions, announced today that it has completed its initial public offering (IPO) and secondary offering of its common shares (the “Offering”). Halogen’s common shares will begin trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “HGN”.

“We’re very proud to have completed our IPO so successfully, especially with such strong interest and support from the investment community,” said Halogen’s executive chairman and co-founder, Michael Slaunwhite. “This is an important milestone for us, one that will accelerate our position as a leading global provider of talent management software solutions for mid-market organizations.”

Pursuant to the Offering, Halogen issued 4,365,218 common shares at a price of $11.50 for total gross proceeds to Halogen of just over $50 million. In addition, 434,782 common shares were sold by JMI Equity Fund VI, L.P. (the “Selling Shareholder”) at a price of $11.50 per share, for total gross proceeds to the Selling Shareholder of approximately $5 million.

“This is truly an exciting day for Halogen and I’m extremely proud of our employees and their contribution to our success,” said Paul Loucks, Halogen’s CEO. “This transaction enables us to grow our operations, invest in product development, and strengthen our balance sheet. More importantly – it enables us to expand upon what we do best — which is helping our customers build exceptional workforces.”

“While the market for talent management software solutions is large and growing, the mid-market is still underserved,” continued Mr. Loucks. “This is a $15 billion annual total addressable market. Our powerful, organically-built suite of cloud applications, combined with our go-to-market strategy and focus on world-class customer service, have made us a recognized leader in the mid-market; a great foundation to build upon.”

The Offering was underwritten by a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., and including Raymond James Ltd., Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation and National Bank Financial Inc. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). The Company has granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase, in aggregate, up to an additional 720,000 common shares at a price of $11.50 per share.

Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP acted as legal counsel to Halogen and LaBarge Weinstein LLP acted for the Underwriters.

A copy of Halogen’s final prospectus is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Ottawa, ON– April 16, 2013 – A growing number of higher education institutions, of all sizes and curricula, have selected Halogen Software as their evaluation, succession planning and learning management platform of choice. More than 80 institutions across North America currently rely on the Halogen Talent Management Suite™ for Education to simplify their performance evaluation process, improve staff development, and reduce administration overhead.

University of British Columbia, Wayne State University, Wharton County Junior College, St. Mary’s of California, and Cincinnati State have all recently selected Halogen’s talent management solutions for higher education. They join a prominent group of institutions using Halogen to evaluate and develop staff, including University of Ottawa, Herzing University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology – Facilities Group, Purdue University – Food Services Division, and University of Miami.

With Halogen, higher education institutions can more effectively evaluate and provide development plans for a large variety of staff and faculty, align goals and objectives to strategic plans, and develop talent pools for succession planning to stay competitive. As a result institutions are able to transform what was once a burdensome administrative process into a strategic activity that drives performance and development accountability, and makes the performance management process more meaningful.

“For the full range of staff and some faculty, Halogen has given us one simplified and integrated talent management system,” said Manon Dugal, Director of Human Resources Advisory Services at the University of Ottawa. “We’re now able to use a wealth of features to collect and analyze data and gain better insight into our employees. This enables us to align our employee performance goals and development activities to support our strategic plan.”

Moreover, Halogen enables these institutions to effectively evaluate and provide development plans for a wide range of employees. “Students and faculty are usually top of mind in higher education communities, but Halogen recognizes that a wide variety of personnel are essential in delivering successful educational experiences,” said Donna Ronayne, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, Halogen Software.

The Halogen Talent Management Suite for Education provides education specific competencies, coaching and development tips, goal management and process flexibility to meet the unique performance management needs of staff in higher education. In addition, the solution can be used to capture employee knowledge and skills that reach beyond current job descriptions—enabling institutions to tap into to a wealth of talent that was previously difficult to identify, track and integrate with short- and long-term strategies. With Halogen, higher education institutions are better positioned to quickly identify any requirements or gaps across the organization, develop talent pools for succession planning, and stay competitive.
