CDG Investments Inc. Enters Into Arrangement Agreement

Further to its press release dated April 28, 2008, CDG Investments Inc. ("CDG")
(CNQ:CDGI) (OTCBB:CDGEF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an
arrangement agreement (the "Agreement") to merge with Preo Software Inc.
("Preo") an Alberta-based private software company.


Under the terms of the Agreement, CDG and Preo will amalgamate and continue
under the name of Preo Software Inc. ("Amalco"). Each shareholder of CDG will
receive one (1) new share of Amalco for each share of CDG currently held after
giving effect to a four for one (4:1) consolidation of the CDG common shares.
Each shareholder of Preo will receive two (2) new shares of Amalco for each
share of Preo currently held. The Agreement contemplates the conversion into
common shares of all outstanding convertible debentures and preferred shares of
Preo prior to giving effect to the merger. Upon completion of the merger, CDG
shareholders will hold an aggregate of approximately 10,239,963 Amalco shares
representing 27.3% of the Amalco shares and Preo shareholders will hold an
aggregate of approximately 27,274,711 Amalco shares representing 72.7% of the
Amalco shares. All Preo options will be exchanged for options of Amalco on the
same basis as the Preo shares are being treated under the Agreement. The
proposed merger has the unanimous support of the boards of directors of CDG and
Preo. Directors that had an interest in the transaction abstained from voting in
accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). In addition the board
of directors of CDG obtained a fairness opinion from Meyers Norris Penny LLP.


Upon completion of the transaction, the management of Amalco will consist of
Gary McCone as President and Chief Executive Officer, Karim Teja as Chief
Financial Officer, Randy Coates as Vice President Operations, David Edmonds as
Vice President Business Development, Ian Graham as Vice President Product
Management and Shameer Dada as Controller. Upon completion of the Arrangement,
Shawn Abbott (Chairman), Edward J. (Ted) Redmond, Earl Everall, Nathanael (Nate)
Glubish and David Edmonds will be directors of Amalco.


It is a condition of the Agreement that certain shareholders of CDG and Preo
enter into an agreement whereby they will agree to vote shares in which they
have control or direction over, in favour of the transaction at the meetings of
the shareholders. Shareholders of CDG holding 21.1% of the CDG shares and
shareholders of Preo holding 79.2% of the Preo shares have agreed to vote shares
they hold in favour of the transaction at the meetings of CDG shareholders and
Preo shareholders, respectively.


The CDG shareholder meeting is expected to be held on July 23, 2008. Preo will
also be convening a shareholder meeting on July 23, 2008 to approve the
transaction. The closing of the merger is expected to occur shortly thereafter
provided the requisite shareholder approvals are obtained. The completion of the
transaction is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory and shareholder
approvals, as well as approval of the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta. A
minimum of 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the shareholders of each of CDG and Preo
must be voted in favour of the arrangement in order for it to be effected. It is
anticipated that CDG will rely upon an exemption from the valuation requirements
for related party transactions under Multilateral Instrument 61-101, and a
valuation will not be prepared, however it is anticipated that disinterested
shareholder approval will be required due to related parties of CDG also having
control of or direction over securities of Preo. A total of 8,656,157 CDG Shares
(21.1%) are expected to be excluded from the votes cast and the calculation of
whether the requisite minority approval has been obtained in accordance with
Multilateral Instrument 61-101.
