TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 20, 2009) - [ Route1 ] Inc. ("Route1") (TSX VENTURE:ROI) chairman Ian Currie today announced that Mr. Dean Peloso, a member of Route1's Board of Directors, will step in immediately on an interim basis to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Commenting on this role, Mr. Peloso stated "Route1 was founded on technological innovation and the provision of enhanced security and identity-based services to our customers. I'm pleased to take on this interim role and to continue building on the recent successes we have experienced in the market."

Mr. Currie said, "As a Board, we wanted an interim President and CEO who was knowledgeable about the Company, who had the background, and ability to lead us through this transition. We're confident in Dean's ability to do just that."
