Marketwired Canada


Texada Software Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TXS) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
the following appointments to its management and Board of Directors.


Nabil Kassam, a current director of the Company, has been appointed to the role
of Executive Chairman of the Board, effective November 10, 2011. Mr. Kassam is a
representative of 1610488 Ontario Ltd., the Company's largest shareholder, and
has served as a director on the Company's Board since October 2010. Over that
period, he has worked closely with William Swisher and Texada's management team
to develop and successfully execute a number of strategic initiatives. 


Prior to Mr. Kassam's appointment as Executive Chairman, the dual role of
Chairman and CEO were held by William Swisher, who will continue to lead the
Company in his role as CEO and as a director. Mr. Swisher had occupied the
position of Chairman of Texada Software Inc. since June 2010, and in October
2010 was appointed to the position of CEO of the Company.  


"Since my appointment as CEO one year ago," said Mr. Swisher, "it has been our
intention to find a suitable replacement for the position of Chairman of the
Board, so that we could split the responsibilities of Chairman and CEO for the
purposes of good governance. I have worked closely with Nabil for a number of
years and I am confident that his appointment as Executive Chairman will
strengthen Texada's ability to continue to successfully carry out its strategic
objectives." 


As Managing Director of Zynik Capital Corporation, a Vancouver-based investment
firm, Mr. Kassam has led a wide variety of successful private and public company
investments in multiple sectors, including equipment rental, retail, real estate
and technology. He has also previously worked at Booz & Company, Katzenbach
Partners and Ernst & Young. Mr. Kassam holds an undergraduate degree from
Harvard University and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. 


In addition, the Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Samir
Manji and William Palmer to the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the
receipt of all regulatory approvals. 


Mr. Manji is the founder, President and CEO of Amica Mature Lifestyles Inc., an
industry leading, TSX-listed company that manages and owns luxury independent
living retirement communities. Mr. Manji obtained his Chartered Accountant
designation in 1992. 


Mr. Palmer is a seasoned entrepreneur and executive with over 35 years of
starting, operating, growing and financing a variety of businesses. He has
operating experience in the United States, Canada and Europe and was the founder
and CEO of one of Europe's largest self-storage companies with 65 locations in
England, France and Germany. Mr. Palmer holds an MBA from Harvard Business
School. Both Mr. Manji and Mr. Palmer are expected to be independent members of
the Board of Directors.


In connection with their appointment as directors, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Manji were
each granted 100,000 stock options, and further to the Company's press release
dated November 9, 2011, Mr. Kassam was granted 250,000 stock options to purchase
common shares of the Company, each at an exercise price of $0.10 per share and
exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to all
required regulatory, stock exchange and shareholder approvals including all
required approvals to the amendments to the Company's stock option plan as set
out in the press release dated November 9, 2011.
