Financing

In addition, the company is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement of 1,577,000 special warrants at a price of 26 cents per special warrant, representing aggregate gross proceeds of $410,000. Each special warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire at any time after the closing date of the offering, for no additional consideration, one unit of the company, with each unit composed of one common share of SoMedia and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of SoMedia. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share at an exercise price of 35 cents per common share for a period of 24 months following the closing date. The offering is fully subscribed and will close upon receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval.

All unexercised special warrants will be deemed to be exercised, without payment of additional consideration or further action, on the earlier of: (i) the third business day following the day upon which SoMedia obtains a receipt for a final prospectus qualifying the underlying common shares, the underlying warrants and the common shares of the company underlying the warrants from the securities regulatory authority in each jurisdiction where the final prospectus is filed; and (ii) the date that is four months and one day following the closing date. It is intended that the final prospectus will be filed in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia and such other jurisdictions as SoMedia may decide.

The company may pay finders' fees in connection with the offering, subject to compliance with the policies of the regulatory authorities. SoMedia plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

From the date of issue, subject to obtaining a receipt for the final prospectus in the qualifying jurisdictions, the underlying securities will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period as required by Canadian securities laws.

We seek Safe Harbor.
