Absolute Software and LoJack Corporation Announce Branding Partnership to Introduce "LoJack for Laptops"
Monday June 27, 7:30 am ET
Absolute licenses the LoJack brand for the computer theft recovery market


VANCOUVER, BC, and WESTWOOD, MA, June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Absolute Software ("Absolute") (TSX-VEN: ABT) and LoJack Corporation ("LoJack") (NASDAQ: LOJN - News) today announced a strategic agreement whereby Absolute will license the LoJack brand for the computer theft recovery market. LoJack Corporation, the premier provider of wireless tracking and recovery systems for mobile assets and Absolute, the leading provider of patented Computer Theft Recovery Secure Asset Tracking(TM) solutions, will leverage LoJack's brand and leadership position by incorporating the LoJack brand name into Absolute's computer theft recovery products.

When a Computrace "LoJack for Laptops" equipped computer is stolen and connects to the Internet (over IP or modem), the embedded Computrace agent sends a silent signal to Absolute's Monitoring Center providing its IP address or phone number to identify its physical location and then Absolute works with local law enforcement to recover the computer. The stealthy Computrace software agent can survive accidental or deliberate attempts to be removed or disabled. Where the agent is embedded in the computer's BIOS, such as in IBM/Lenovo's ThinkPads, the agent can also survive image reloads and hard drive swaps. Should a computer not be recovered within 30 days, the customer may be eligible for a money-back guarantee.

Joseph F. Abely, CEO of LoJack Corporation, said, "The LoJack brand is synonymous with the recovery of stolen assets. Our association with Absolute Software extends our brand to laptops that are very vulnerable to theft. We are pleased to partner with a company that is driving the industry standard in computer theft recovery and secure asset tracking, and we look forward to a long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationship."

John Livingston, chairman and CEO of Absolute Software, said, "We are very pleased to be partnering with LoJack Corporation. LoJack is the undisputed leader in global stolen vehicle recovery and has set the industry standard and commitment for tracking and recovering stolen assets. Incorporating the LoJack name into our Computrace product as 'LoJack for Laptops' will help build both brands and reinforces our leadership position in the computer theft recovery market."

Absolute Software invented the computer theft recovery category in 1994. Since then, the company has helped thousands of corporations, educational institutions and consumers around the globe track and locate their lost or stolen computers. Under the ten year branding agreement Absolute will pay a licensing fee and will also grant LoJack warrants to purchase 500,000 common shares of Absolute. The warrants are for a five-year term, vest over the term, and have an exercise price of $2 per share. Issuance of the warrants is subject to regulatory approval.

LoJack for Laptops is priced at $49.99 USD for a one-year term and is currently available as Computrace Personal in all 240 CompUSA stores across North America. Consumers can also purchase the product online at www.lojackforlaptops.com. The new Computrace LoJack for Laptops packaging will launch in stores and online during the summer.
