CounterPath Provides Update on Normal Course Issuer Bid Purchases

Vancouver, BC, Canada — August 23, 2014

CounterPath Corporation (“CounterPath” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CPAH) (TSX: CCV), a leading developer of award-winning desktop, tablet and mobile VoIP software products and solutions, today announced an update on the purchases of its common shares pursuant to the normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) previously announced on March 17, 2014 and plans to initiate purchases of its common shares using the facilities of the NASDAQ.

As of August 19, 2014, CounterPath has purchased for cancellation a total of: (i) 78,900 common shares at an average purchase price of CDN$1.31 per common share using the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under its current NCIB, and (ii) and a total of 361,858 common shares at an average purchase price of CDN$1.67 per common share using the facilities of the TSX under all NCIBs. The purchase of the 78,900 common shares was within the maximum daily limit allowed under the automatic share purchase plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by the TSX and initiated on March 19, 2014. The Company plans to continue purchasing its common shares under the Plan using the facilities of the TSX.

Subject to compliance with Rule 10b-18 and other rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company also plans to start purchasing its common shares pursuant to its current NCIB using the facilities of the NASDAQ, permitting the Company to make larger daily purchases than it is currently making using only the facilities of the TSX. Under the current NCIB, CounterPath may acquire up to 2,458,153 common shares, representing approximately ten percent (10%) of the public float of the Company as of March 12, 2014, during the 12-month period starting March 19, 2014.

“Given the size of our market, our existing customer base, the strength of our sales funnel and our new strategic relationships, we believe our stock currently trades in a range that does not reflect the true value of our company,” said Donovan Jones, President and CEO at CounterPath. “We plan to start purchasing our common shares using the facilities of the NASDAQ, while continuing to purchase common shares on the TSX, and believe the initiative will create long-term shareholder value.”
