VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire – Dec. 11, 2009) - Maximizer Software Inc. ("Maximizer" or the "Company") (TSX:MAX) is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced going-private transaction pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement"). Under the Arrangement, MSI Acquisition Corp., a company indirectly owned by the family of Terence Hui, a director and chair of the Board of the Company, will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company not owned by The City Place Trust for $0.12 per share.

On November 5, 2009, the Company obtained an interim order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia permitting the Company to call an extraordinary general meeting (the "Meeting") of the Company's shareholders and optionholders (collectively "securityholders") to consider, among other things, the Arrangement. The interim order required that the resolution approving the Arrangement be approved by a 66 2/3rds majority of the shares and options held by those securityholders voting on the Arrangement, voting together as a group, by a 66 2/3rds majority of the shares held by those shareholders voting on the Arrangement, and by a majority of the shares held by those shareholders voting on the Arrangement, other than Terence Hui, Adex Enterprises Inc. or The City Place Trust.

The Meeting was held on December 9, 2009. At the Meeting, the Arrangement resolution was approved by 99.24% of the shares and options held by those securityholders voting on the Arrangement, voting together as a group, by 99.21% of the shares held by those shareholders voting on the Arrangement, and by 91.01% of the shares held by those shareholders voting on the Arrangement, other than Terence Hui, Adex Enterprises Inc. or The City Place Trust.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia approved the Arrangement by granting a final order on December 10, 2009. The Articles of Arrangement giving effect to the Arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act were filed on December 10, 2009. The common shares of Maximizer will be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange in due course.
