  TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Attention Business and Financial Editors:

    Resolve Corporation (TSX: RBO.UN), a Canadian leader in business process
outsourcing (BPO), announced today that it had signed an agreement to
sell its Supply Chain Management (SCM) operations to Archway Marketing
Services, a leading North American outsourced marketing services
organization.

    The asset sale is scheduled to close on June 30, 2009 and will provide
net proceeds to Resolve of approximately $22 million, which will be used
to pay down existing company debt. The transaction will see Archway
acquiring all of Resolve's SCM operation assets including client
contracts, eight American locations and five Canadian locations, as well
as the approximately 800 employees currently servicing the business for
Resolve. The transaction does not include Resolve's Saint John, NB,
supply chain facility, which is focused on Coupon and Rebate processing,
and will continue as an important component of Resolve's operation.

    "We believe this is a very positive transaction for both of our
organizations," Resolve Chief Executive Officer Bruce Simmonds said.
"Resolve will become a more traditionally aligned Business Process
Outsourcer that is better able to focus on our BPO core competencies,
while Archway is acquiring an operation with 35 years of successful
business experience and a strong customer base."

    With the completion of this transaction, Resolve will look to reinforce
its position as one of the leading BPO organizations in Canada by
building on the success of its Financial and Administrative Services and
Contact Centre Services lines of business, and by continuing to offer
flexible and creative integrated service solutions to its clients.
