Multiplied Media Corporation announces pricing of private placement
/NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES/
CALGARY, July 22 /CNW/ - Multiplied Media Corporation (the
"Company")(TSX:V MMC), a Calgary-based provider of mobile local search
services, today announced that its previously announced private placement
financing (the "Offering") on a "best efforts" basis with a syndicate of
agents led by Research Capital Corporation and including Blackmont Capital
Inc. and Acumen Capital Finance Partners Inc. (collectively, the "Agents") has
been priced at $0.06 per common share ("Common Share") for total gross
proceeds of up to $7,000,000. The Company will be proceeding with an offering
of Common Shares of the Company instead of an offering of units, as was
previously disclosed in the Company's June 4, 2009 press release. The other
terms and conditions of the Offering remain unchanged.
As consideration for their participation in the Offering, the Agents will
receive a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised. In
addition, the Agents will receive compensation options equal to 10.0% of the
aggregate number of Common Shares issued pursuant to the Offering at a price
of $0.06 per Common Share, exercisable for a period of 24 months following the
closing date.
The Company intends to use proceeds of the Offering for development and
integration of UnoMobi's products (the proposed acquisition of which was
disclosed by the Company on June 1, 2009), development and deployment of the
Company's existing product on additional smartphone platforms, releasing the
Company's products into new geographic areas, and for general working capital
purposes.
The securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four-month
hold period from the date of distribution. The Offering is expected to close
on or about July 30, 2009 and is subject to receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals and satisfaction of all other customary closing
conditions.

the timelines it has planned; the risk that the Offering will not be completed
at all if these approvals are not obtained or some other condition to the
closing is not satisfied; the risk that the intended use of the net proceeds
of the Offering by the Company might change if the board of directors of the
Company determines that it would be in the best interests of the Company to
deploy the proceeds for some other purpose; risks that the marketing efforts
will not result in the anticipated proceeds; the deteriorating economic and
market conditions that could lead to reduced spending on information
technology products; competition in our target markets; potential capital
needs; management of future growth and expansion; the development,
implementation and execution of the Company's strategic vision; risk of
third-party claims of infringement; protection of proprietary information;
customer acceptance of the Company's existing and newly introduced products
and fee structures; the success of the Company's brand development efforts;
