PRESS RELEASE

Date: 10th February 2017

Title: AXYS to participate in first stage of wind development in Port-La Nouvelle France

AXYS Technologies Inc (AXYS) is pleased

to announce its participation in French
EolMed wind development initiatives in the
zone between Port-La Nouvelle and
Gruissan. An AXYS WatchKeeper buoy will
be deployed by French company Crocan
on the behalf of QUADRAN, at the location
over the next year to gather comprehensive
metocean data.

This marks the first stage of floating

offshore wind development in that area and
will gather essential preliminary
environmental data to support future design
and financing decisions.

The WatchKeeper buoy is equipped to

provide wind speed and direction, air
temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and directional waves. The buoy
also uses an AIS Aid to Navigation device, which broadcasts buoy position and weather
information to local vessel traffic. This protects the buoy from collision by notifying
vessels of its location.

Terry Tarle, President and CEO at AXYS Technologies said AXYS is proud to be
supporting Crocan with their environmental impact and assessment campaign with
our real-time metocean buoy system. We wish Crocan and Quadran success in their
continued involvement in floating offshore wind development.

pre-commercial scale, the viability of this new sector, to validate the technologies from
the construction phase to the servicing at sea and to ensure the good environmental
integration of the project both in the pilot phase and for its further development on a
commercial scale.
