ASX Announcement

Parties to explore opportunities in connected car software services

• Connexion Media has become a Gold Status Partner of Microsoft's Go-To-Market Services

• Microsoft Go-To-Market Services will help Connexion open new doors through joint launch planning, global expansion, channel development, leads sharing and more

• Partnership will help Connexion reach new customers worldwide through exposure to tens of thousands of Microsoft sellers and channel partners

• Both parties to explore opportunities with the newly announced Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform

Gold Status recognises Connexion's unique and innovative vehicle telematics solution and the Company's leading position in connected car SaaS sales globally. Connexion joins other brands such as Citrix, Docusign and HP, that are also Gold Status Partners.

Co-selling with Microsoft is one key benefit of attaining gold status. With tens of thousands of field sellers and hundreds of thousands of channel partners, Connexion and Microsoft will partner to ramp customer sales of Connexion's connected car services to Microsoft's extensive global customer network which includes global automakers and vehicle fleet managers.

Connexion is an existing customer of Microsoft's cloud services platform Azure, which it uses to power its telematics solutions including General Motors' Commercial Link service. Microsoft Azure is a collection of integrated cloud services that encompasses analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking and storage functions.

Microsoft announced a new cloud platform for connected cars, the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2017. The platform is a set of services built on the Microsoft Azure cloud that is designed to empower auto manufacturers to create custom connected driving solutions.

Microsoft continues to build momentum through partnerships with a number of automakers, including Renault-Nissan, Volvo, and BMW.

"We are pleased to have been invited by Microsoft to become a Gold Status partner gaining exposure to tens of thousands of Microsoft direct sellers and channel partners. We also look forward to working with the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform team in Seattle USA to further explore opportunities in the internet connected vehicle space."

"Traditional automakers are facing disruptions from modern forces, particularly the rise of the connected car which is creating the next generation of driving experiences. As the prevalence of internet connected cars continues to grow, we look forward to helping global automakers make intelligent vehicles in conjunction with connected car pioneers such as Connexion Media."
