Investee Company Update:

Kickwheel and Lingo Media Ends Proposed Merger

Further to the 15 August 2017 announcement, FastForward announces that investee company, Vested Finance Inc (trading as Kickwheel (formerly "Schoold") ("Kickwheel" or "the Company")) in which FastForward has an equity interest of 11.6%, has announced that the definitive agreement dated August 10, 2017 (the "Agreement") to combine in a merger of equals through an all-stock transaction (the "Transaction") with Lingo Media Corporation (TSX-V: LM; OTC: LMDCF; FSE: LIMA) ("Lingo Media") has expired and will not be extended.

Lorne Abony, CEO of Fast Forward commented; "After a long period of negotiation, the board of Kickwheel has concluded that the underlying commercial conditions of the deal have changed and the proposed merger will not create long term value for shareholders including Fast Forward. This is clearly a disappointment but I remain confident that Joe Ross, CEO of Kickwheel, and his team will move forward from this to grow a company which will create real value for Fast Forward."
