Astrix Networks Inc. Changes Name to Memex Inc.

BURLINGTON, ON--(Marketwired - Jul 21, 2015) - Astrix Networks Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OEE), operating under the trade name Memex Automation, announces that it has officially changed its name to Memex Inc.

The name change will be effective for trading purposes on the TSXV commencing at the opening of trading on July 22, 2015. The common shares of the company will continue to trade under the operating symbol "OEE" following the name change. The existing share certificates issued under the former name of Astrix Networks Inc. will continue to represent common shares of the company under the new name, Memex Inc., and there is no need for shareholders to exchange their share certificates. However, if any shareholder wishes to exchange their share certificates for new share certificates issued under the new name Memex Inc., they can do so by contacting the company's transfer agent Computershare Trust Company of Canada.

"Changing Astrix's name to Memex was something that we had wanted to do for a while," says David McPhail, President and CEO of Memex Inc. "Astrix has done business as Memex Automation for years and we are well known for that. We felt that the name 'Memex Automation' no longer fit quite right with the direction our business has been going in so we wanted a fresh start. Sticking with the Memex theme seemed only natural as most of our customers and prospects know and refer to us as Memex."

"Brand awareness is very important. With over 12,000 electronic circuits boards installed in machines in various customer sites, all with the Memex name on it, we know the service people see this and they call Memex," said John Rattray, VP Sales & Marketing. "Our products and names must be consistent."
