The Company announces that it has arranged, subject to regulatory approval, a brokered private placement of 2,000,000 units at a price of $0.20 per unit. Each unit shall consist of one common share without par value in the capital stock of the Company and one share purchase warrant, transferable in accordance with the policies of the exchange. Each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase an additional common share in the capital stock of the Company for a period of one year at a price of $0.25 per share.

Canaccord Capital Corporation will be acting as agent for the Company for the brokered private placement and will receive a commission equal to 8.5% of the gross proceeds of the private placement as well as 200,000 Agent warrants. Each Agent warrant will entitle the Agent to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.25 for one year. The 8.5% commission may be payable in cash or by the issuance of Agent's units on the same terms as the units being offered.

The use of proceeds from the private placements, expected to be $800,000, in the event all of the units are sold, will be for general working capital purposes. “This financing will help us build on the solid foundation created by our stable of television, Web and media properties,” said Investment.com President and CEO Geof Wheelwright. “The media infrastructure we have established is allowing us to provide integrated communications products and services to the investment community. These services will include custom publishing, broadcast, streaming video and specialized Web projects that leverage the solid base of media properties provided by the Investment.com Web site, Investment.com Magazine, Mutual Fund Review, The Fund Counsel newsletter, Investment.com Presents on WorkdayTV and Dot.Com Television.”
