  MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, Jun 06 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Synergex Corporation (TSX: SYX), a leading international provider of
integrated logistics and distribution services, announced today that it
has mailed a management information circular to holders of its common
shares in connection with its annual and special meeting of shareholders
to be held on June 30, 2008 in Mississauga, Ontario. The information
circular describes, among other things, the particulars of the Company's
proposal for an amendment of its Articles of Incorporation authorizing
the Company's Board of Directors to enact a stock consolidation (also
known as a "reverse stock split") on a one-for-five basis.

    The principal effect of the share consolidation would be that the number
of issued and outstanding common shares would be reduced from
approximately 111,602,785 to approximately 22,320,557. The decision to
effect a stock consolidation and the timing of any such decision would be
at the sole discretion of Synergex' Board of Directors. A stock
consolidation would also be subject to approval by the Toronto Stock
Exchange.

    Details regarding the background, reasons and impact of the proposed
share consolidation are described in the information circular, a copy of
which is available electronically at www.sedar.com. The information
circular also describes the particulars of the other matters to be voted
upon at the meeting, and the manner in which shareholders may vote on
such matters. Shareholders are urged to review the information circular
in detail.

    David Aiello, Synergex' President and CEO, commented, "We believe this
reverse split will enhance the marketability of Synergex' shares, making
them more acceptable to institutional and other investors who may be
dissuaded or precluded from investing in lower-priced stocks. The
consolidation will also adjust the number of issued and outstanding
common shares to a level better suited to a company of our size."
