MONTREAL, Dec. 4, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - The Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (the "Caisse") announced that, under the terms of a subscription agreement, it has subscribed for unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") of Extenway Solutions Inc. ("Extenway") [TSX Venture Exchange: EY], with a $1,500,000 principal amount.

The subscription was made through a private placement under the accredited investor exemption provided by applicable securities regulation.

The Debentures mature on August 31, 2017, and bear an annual compounded interest rate of 12%.

The Caisse may increase or decrease its investment in Extenway as a function of market conditions or other relevant factors.
