WASHINGTON, DC – Snipp Interactive Inc. (“Snipp” or the “Company“), an international provider of marketing promotions, rebates and loyalty solutions listed on the OTCQX and the TSX Venture Exchange, is confirming to shareholders that the annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of shareholders of Snipp will be held at 1605 Connecticut Ave NW, 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20009, on Tuesday, the 31st day of May, 2016, at 10:00 am. (Eastern time).
A copy of the information circular dated April 27, 2016 (the “Circular“), the form of proxy, and the notice of meeting have been mailed to all shareholders as of the record date of April 26, 2016. A copy of these materials, as well as the audited financial statements of Snipp for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 together with the report of the auditor thereon, are available on Snipp’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
Snipp would like to correct a minor error in the Circular with respect to the approval of conditional grants. Under Item 6 on Page 8 of the Circular, the Company inadvertently included the incorrect “Expiry Date” for the 364,000 conditional options granted in the table set out under such Item 6, which “Expiry Date” should read February 11, 2021 and not February 11, 2016. Accordingly, the Company would like to replace the table in the Circular with the following:
| Name of Insider |

The proposed resolution approving the conditional option grants on page 7 of the Circular will be amended to refer to conditional option grants referred to in the table in this news release.
The Company would also like to remind its shareholders of the importance of voting at the Meeting, whether in person or by proxy, given that resolutions approving matters other than annual matters will be voted on at the Meeting, including the conditional option grants and the reclassification of certain warrants.
