Diligent Wins a Tabby Award for Diligent Boards

Winners Positioned in the Top .01 Percent of all Applications

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, November 17, 2015 - Diligent Corporation (NZX: DIL)
("Diligent" or the "Company"), the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based
platform for the secure electronic production and distribution of
confidential information and collaboration of boards and leadership teams,
today announced that Diligent has been granted a Tabby Award in Business for
its superior iPad app in Vertical Markets and Business Solutions.

"We immediately recognized the value of the Diligent Boards app for secure
board of directors' communication and collaboration," the team of 24 judges
noted in their review. "Within our evaluation framework, the app scored
highly in the areas of user experience, performance, tablet-optimization and
overall business value."

Amid the global competition, The Tabby Award denotes that the Diligent
Boards' iPad application contains a degree of innovation, design and value
that is absent from most applications on the market. Additionally, among the
more than 400,000 business applications available on Android and iOS, Tabby
Award winners are positioned within the top .01 percent.

"Diligent is proud to be part of the legacy attached to the Tabby Awards,"
said Alex Sodi, Founder and Chief Product Strategy Officer at Diligent.
"Diligent works hard to provide the best possible technology to allow boards
and leadership teams to view, share, and collaborate on materials simply and
securely - we're glad to be recognized as a valuable solution for boards of
all sizes."

Diligent joins other winners of 2015 Tabby Awards including: DocuSign,
Concur, Citrix, Adobe and more.
