Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist") (TSX VENTURE:LOY) is pleased to announce
that it has entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of King
George International College ("KGIC") and King George International Business
College ("KGIBC"), an accredited English-as-a-second-language (ESL) school and a
career college with 8 campuses in Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, and Halifax in
Canada.


KGIC has revenues of $25.0 million in the most recent 12-month period. Loyalist
will pay $13.5 million for KGIC, of which $9.5 million, subject to certain
adjustments is due in cash at closing and $4,000,000 subject to certain defined
post-closing adjustments, is payable by way of a non-interest bearing promissory
note due on or about March 12, 2014. The acquisition is expected to close on or
about September 12, 2013. Loyalist has sufficient cash to close this acquisition
and therefore at this time no financing is required.


"This is more than our biggest acquisition to date, it's a transformative event
for our company," said CEO Andrew Ryu. "First, it increases our revenue by
approximately 40% and takes us to a size that cements our position as a
preferred destination for international students that also attracts a bigger
investor base. Second, this acquisition will demonstrate the scalability of our
business model along with the ability to create both revenue and cost synergies.
Now that our platform is strong enough to support big increases in revenues, we
expect to see progressive and accretive profit growth as KGIC and subsequent
acquisitions are integrated into the Loyalist platform. We expect this
acquisition to more than double net income immediately as a starting point
without taking into account implementing cost synergies and the anticipated
acceleration of organic growth as a result of the size of this acquisition."
