• IGEN receives Letter of Intent from Seguros Multiples for distribution rights in Puerto Rico and Latin America for marketing of white-labeled IGEN products to 200 credit union cooperatives accounting for 100,000 auto insurance policies enforced in the territory
• IGEN's co-branded product Sprint CU TRAK have identified 360 credit unions for marketing of IGEN services along with confirmed market trials in Puerto Rico, Southern California and the Mid-West Regions
• Patent-pending on 'Digital Telematics Signature' for establishing an industry standard in measuring driver behavior for the insurance industry
• Next-generation platform with renewal store, driver-score, and dealership management system integration completed for beta-testing

CEO Neil Chan stated, 'As we transition to higher-margin business through insurance companies, credit unions, and direct channels to dealerships and ultimately the consumer, we see a path to profitability. We are particularly excited as various components of our strategy are coming together including our Sprint relationship, specific to the co-branded product CU TRAK which is a platform customized for the specific needs of credit union automotive finance customers. Our relationship with Seguros Multiples is indicative of our go forward strategy - the insurer markets our services to the credit union and uses the data for optimizing their revenue models, the credit union creates a profit center in selling our products to their members along with having a mechanism to reduce their loan loses, and the membership purchases a new car with our services to protect the asset along with real-time alerts on driver behavior and vehicle health.'

'Finally, we have a healthy pipeline of recurring and new business revenue streams driving IGEN to new revenue records ahead. During this reporting period we saw a significant increase in renewal revenues from consumers using our service. We expect a significant number of our Pre-load customers who chose our service three years ago to renew their subscriptions throughout 2019.'
