FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA - August 18, 2000 - Brocker Technology Group Ltd.
("Brocker") announces that its common shares will begin trading on the NASDAQ
market on Monday, August 21, 2000 under the symbol BTGL. Brocker's shares will
continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol BKI.
Brocker, best known for its international technology distribution and service
businesses, made the strategic decision to shift its business emphasis to
e-business communications technology. Following a series of strategic
acquisitions, Brocker launched a proprietary set of integrated communications
and transaction processing software products. These software products enable and
streamline the entire B2B communication process, making it more functional,
efficient and cost effective.
Commenting on the NASDAQ approval, Michael B. Ridgway, Brocker's Chief Executive
Officer said, "The increased exposure from listing on the NASDAQ should help the
company achieve valuations more reflective of our achievements and potential
growth in the wireless application market. As we expand our business throughout
North America, the efficiencies existing in the NASDAQ marketplace should
improve our access to new capital for future acquisitions."
