VOGOGO INC. ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO BOARD OF DIRECTORS, STRATEGIC CHANGES IN ITS BUSINESS PLAN, AND FILING OF ITS 2015 AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Vogogo Inc. has made changes to its board of directors, has made strategic changes in its business plan, and has filed its 2015 audited financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis.

The board has appointed two new directors, Gino DeMichele and Thomas English, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Mr. DeMichele currently serves as the president and chief executive officer of A2 Capital Management Inc., a private merchant banking and trading operation. He has been engaged in global and domestic financial markets since 1990 and brings 25 years of corporate finance and merger-and-acquisition expertise.

Mr. English brings a wealth of experience in the public capital markets and is currently president and chief executive officer at AC Group. He has served as head of trading and co-head of institutional equity sales at Salman Partners. Previous to this, Mr. English spent five years with CIBC World Markets. Mr. English holds a BA in economics and political science from the University of Western Ontario.

Margaret Gilmour and John Robinson resigned from the board, effective April 26, 2016. Vogogo thanks these former board members for their valuable contributions to the company.

"We welcome the addition of two distinguished new board members," said Dale Johnson, chairman of Vogogo. "Their experience and expertise in finance, business strategies, business combinations, strategic partnerships and the capital markets will strengthen Vogogo's ability to execute on current opportunities and new business strategies."

The board has initiated a process to explore strategic options for the company focused on increasing shareholder value, including, but not limited to, a sale of one or more corporate assets, a strategic business combination, or a strategic partnership. There can be no assurance that this exploration process will result in any transaction. There is no set timetable with respect to the board's review, and the company does not expect to make further public comment regarding these matters unless and until the board approves a specific action or otherwise concludes its review.

While the board explores strategic options, Vogogo will implement an operational plan based on maintaining the existing services and client base while making cash conservation a top priority. Regrettably, the plan includes reduced staffing levels amongst other cost-cutting initiatives.

"One of the hardest parts of restructuring is that it affects great people who have given so much to our company over several years -- we owe a great deal of appreciation to them. We thank everyone involved for what they have given to Vogogo," continued Geoff Gordon, chief executive officer of Vogogo.

Vogogo also announces that the contract for Joann Head, director of investor relations, will not be renewed past April 30, 2016. Vogogo also announces that today it filed its audited annual financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2015, and related management's discussion and analysis. The financial statements and management's discussion and analysis may be obtained on Vogogo's SEDAR profile.

We seek Safe Harbor.
