Frontline Technologies Inc. Files a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal Under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act

TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 12/12/12 — Frontline Technologies Inc. (“Frontline Technologies”) (TSX VENTURE: FLC), a provider of technology-based equity and options trading services, announces that, after consideration of all viable alternatives, it is in the best interests of Frontline Technologies and its stakeholders for Frontline Technologies to commence restructuring proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (“BIA”).

Accordingly, on Tuesday, December 11, 2012, Frontline Technologies filed a notice of intention to make a proposal under the BIA (the “Notice of Intention”) with the Official Receiver. The Notice of Intention has granted Frontline Technologies BIA protection for an initial period of 30 days, expiring on January 10, 2013. While under protection, creditors and others are stayed from enforcing any rights against Frontline Technologies, giving Frontline Technologies the opportunity to pursue restructuring alternatives.

Frontline Technologies- subsidiary, Frontline Technologies Corporation (the “Subsidiary”), which offers IT infrastructure support and managed services, also filed a notice of intention to make a proposal under the BIA on Tuesday, December 11, 2012. The Subsidiary-s normal day-to-day IT infrastructure operations are expected to continue without interruption.

Frontline Technologies- liquidity position has deteriorated as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, negative cash flow from operations, an inability to secure additional sources of financing and increasing pressure to make payments to its creditors. The BIA restructuring proceedings will allow Frontline Technologies and the Subsidiary to deal decisively with their cost and debt burdens and to narrow their strategic focus in an effective and timely manner. Frontline Technologies made this decision with the unanimous approval of its Board of Directors after thorough consultation with its advisors and extensive consideration of all other alternatives.

Frontline Technologies has developed a plan to wind-down its trading platform business while it transitions its customers on an expedited basis to new service providers. The wind down process may include speaking to parties interested in acquiring the trading platform business.

Pursuant to the Notices of Intention, Duff & Phelps Canada Restructuring Inc. has been appointed as proposal trustee that will monitor the ongoing operations of Frontline Technologies and of the Subsidiary while under BIA protection (in such capacities, the “Trustee”). All inquiries regarding the BIA proceedings should be directed to the Trustee (Noah Goldstein – 416-932-6207). Information about the BIA proceeding will be available on the Trustee-s website at .
