<p><strong>TruMedia’s Proactive Marketing Solution (PROM)<br />
integrated with EnQii’s EnGage Digital Signage Platform</strong></p>
<p>Tampa, Florida and London, UK – June 11, 2009 – EnQii, a leading global digital signage agency, and TruMedia Technologies, the world’s leading provider of real-time audience measurement and proactive advertising solutions, today announced the availability of TruMedia’s audience measurement system and ProActive marketing systems to EnQii’s customers. This allows digital signage networks to accurately measure their audiences and adapt content in real time to match the viewing audience.</p>

Viewers´ face images are analyzed in real-time to generate business-critical information such as audience counts, individual exposure times as well as gender and age group demographics.  This software allows better media planning and targeted advertising. Viewer counts, behavior and demographics are obtained in real-time and can be used in the media streamer to select and possibly modify the advertisement.</p>
<p>EnQii’s EnGage platform is a web-based software solution for connecting 100 to 10,000 screens in a network. Its web 2.0 architecture brings drag-and-drop features for flexibility and ease-of-use. EnGage has been designed from the ground up on a Linux platform, which allows for greater reliability and security. Significantly, the software also features Campaign Manager, a new tool for planning and managing advertising campaigns.</p>
<p>“TruMedia provides a strong platform for advertisers to measure and target advertising effectively,” said Ajay Chowdhury, EnQii’s CEO. “This is the latest in a series of partnerships where we provide our clients with the tools they need to ensure strong returns on their digital out of home investment.”</p>
<p>“We are pleased to add EnQii to our growing list of partners” said Moti Gura, TruMedia’s CEO. “Proactive Marketing sets Digital Signage apart from any other medium by making it possible target the ad to the viewing audience in real-time and save precious advertising dollars. The AlliO sensor will also be sold by Samsung, the world’s leading digital signage manufacturer” Gura added.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 16px"><strong>Board of experts to work with EnQii clients to generate higher returns</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px"></span> <strong>London, UK – May 20, 2009</strong></p>
<p>EnQii, a leading global digital signage agency, announces the launch of their global advisory board with three highly respected practitioners in the global media industry – Jeremy Hill, James Lim and Jeffrey McElnea. The board has been created to provide EnQii’ s customers with world class strategic advice in advertising sales, digital merchandising and out of home strategy. David Hearn, current chairman of EnQii, will also be working closely with the Advisory Board to advise EnQii’ s customers.</p>
<p>Jerry Hill has the rare distinction of having held leadership positions with both a leading UK media owner and an International media agency network, giving him a very wide understanding and perspective of the media and communications market. Jerry was CEO of TSMS, the UK’ s first multi station commercial TV sales house which represented a third of ITV’ s advertising revenue. In 2001, Jerry joined Initiative, one of the leading Global Media agency networks owned by Interpublic Group, as CEO of their UK and Irish operations. He was appointed to the Council of the IPA, the UK advertising agency trade association for which he served as Chairman of the body’ s 5 year strategy group.</p>
<p>James Lim has extensive experience in marketing, media and management, particularly in the out of home space. He was founder and CEO of Digital Media Group in 2003, which he grew into the leading subway digital media owner in China and Hong Kong. Prior to that he was an early stage advisor of Focus Media (FMCN, listed in NASDAQ in 2005), VP/GM-China of Media Nation Inc (listed in HKSE in 2002, acquired by JC Decaux in 2005), Director-E China of International Distillers &amp; Vintners (now Diageo), and served in various positions in the Swire Group (Cathay Pacific, Swire Duro, Taikoo Sugar, Swire Magnetics, Swire Beverages, etc).</p>
<p>Jeff McElnea was president of Einson-Freeman, Inc. where he built the firm into a global promotions agency serving many Fortune 500 clients, then sold it to WPP Group in 1988. Jeff continued with Einson as Chairman/CEO for another 12 years while also heading two other WPP companies, Conquest USA and MGA Marketing. Following his 30 year agency career, Jeff became president of Satmark Media Group, a start-up new media firm that launched the first national ATM advertising network - now owned by Bank of America. Today his consultancy, The Jeffrey Group, advises multi-national clients, agencies and media enterprises on business development. He has managed or helped finance early stage marketing ventures in alternative media and in-store communications.</p>
<p>David Hearn is currently Chairman of EnQii and ran Pepsico’ s entire food businesses in Europe and then ran Goodman Fielder as CEO in Australia, which he built into a focused, branded retail business, concentrating on the Australasian region. David moved to New York, firstly as Chairman and CEO of Bates Advertising and then as the Group CEO of the Cordiant Group, which was the 5th largest global media and marketing services group, which was subsequently sold to WPP.</p>
<p>”We are excited and honoured that Jerry, James and Jeff have agreed to join our advisory board,“ said Ajay Chowdhury, EnQii’ s CEO. ”As the Digital Out of Home industry continues to grow into a global business, having respected industry practitioners like these to call on can add immense value to our clients and help them secure greater returns from their investment in digital out of home media.“</p>

<p>Wednesday, January 14, 2009, Australia&#8217;s Number 1  in Digital Out-of-Home Media, PDM, and global technology leader, EnQii, have  recently joined forces in a comprehensive partnership designed to conquer the  Australasian Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) media market.</p>
<p>The partnership  will see PDM employ EnQii ‘Remote Transfer’ technology across its DOOH media  networks, allowing PDM to upload, schedule and distribute content via Ethernet  to remote locations. In addition, EnQii will have exclusive rights to sell  Acuity™, PDM&#8217;s patent-pending Out-of-Home Digital media management system, to  all of its existing and new clients.</p>
<p>PDM Managing Director Brian  Craighead says, &#8220;PDM own and operate the largest centrally managed network in  Australia, and our growth has been driven by two factors - the quality of our  technology and content, and our commitment to lead the market. After an  extensive and rigorous evaluation process, it became apparent that EnQii&#8217;s  technology platform was clearly the superior solution, and as such we are  committing to the platform across our entire media network.</p>
<p>He  continues, “Our exclusive partnership will jointly increase expansion  opportunities for PDM and EnQii into the Asian DOOH market. The combination of  our offerings will together simplify and optimise the entire lifecycle of an  out-of-home digital media network ensuring the growing number of Australasian  networks will be planned and managed in the most cost and time effective manner  possible in the market today.”</p>
<p>EnQii Vice-President  Asia Pacific, Joe Rossi, says, &#8220;We have been aware of PDM&#8217;s outstanding work in  the Australian marketplace for several years, and are delighted EnQii has been  selected as the technology partner to support their remarkable growth. We are  also pleased to have secured the rights to PDM&#8217;s Acuity™ software, which  automates the day-to-day running of an DOOH media network. To support PDM and to  pursue other opportunities in the region we are also announcing the opening of  our Melbourne office&#8221;.</p>
<p>PDM will roll out the next phase of its Wellbeing  media network during February. The deployment will consist of 95 stores  Australia-wide and will be the first of the PDM networks to employ EnQii  technology.</p>

David then moved to New York, firstly as Chairman and CEO of Bates Advertising and then as the Group CEO of the Cordiant Group, which at the time was the 5th largest global media and marketing services group with key global clients such as HSBC, Pfizer, Allied Domecq and Sky TV. Cordiant was subsequently sold to WPP where David worked for 6 months to aid the successful transition of the key client base. </font></p>

<li><strong>$18 million funding enables EnQii to accelerate global growth</strong></li>
<li><strong>Digital signage and out-of-home media markets growing rapidly</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span lang="en-GB">London, </span><span lang="en-GB">September 30</span><sup><span lang="en-GB">th</span></sup><span lang="en-GB">, 2008. Amadeus Capital Partners and Wellington Partners have invested $18 million in a Series B round financing in EnQii Holdings Ltd, a global leader in the management of digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising and merchandising networks.  Roy Merritt, Partner at Amadeus, and Wellington General Partner, Frank Boehnke, will join the board of the company. The investors will join Ithmaar Bank, Kingdom of Bahrain, EnQii’s original investor. Carolyn Prowse, Managing Director, from Ithmaar Bank will also join the board.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span lang="en-GB">EnQii works in partnership with advertising networks and retailers, providing a full managed service of design, installation, technology and operation of web-enabled digital displays.  The company has over 100 customers in 14 countries around the world, who typically operate substantial estates of screens ranging from large LED or digital billboards to smaller shelf-located screens in retail environments.  The new financing will be used to accelerate the company’s growth.  </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in" lang="en-GB">Advertising spend on out-of-home sites is currently some $1.7 billion globally, with the digital segment, which is proven to drive sales faster than traditional advertising, growing at some 40% per annum.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span lang="en-GB">EnQii CEO, Ajay Chowdhury, says: “We see fantastic growth opportunities in digital out-of-home advertising and are very happy to see this significant commitment from two of Europe’s leading VCs that will help us take full advantage of these opportunities. </span>While we have had very strong organic growth over the last year, this level of investment and the quality of the investors gives us the additional capacity to be more agressive in both opportunity development and in serving our customers’ needs. <span lang="en-GB">The roll-out of digital screens at places of interest has just begun, and EnQii has the capability, from our offices in New York, Toronto, London, Hong Kong and Shanghai, to manage this.”</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span lang="en-GB">Roy Merritt of Amadeus adds: “EnQii’s business model is to combine its leading-edge technology platform with a real understanding of customer needs, helping its clients to maximise their revenues and building deep and long-lasting relationships.  We believe that EnQii’s outstanding management team is well-placed to build on its already strong global market position, and are delighted to support them in doing that.”  </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span lang="en-GB">Frank Boehnke from Wellington Partners stresses the market opportunity: “Digital merchandising at the point-of-sale is a highly efficient way of communicating </span><span lang="en-US">with customers</span><span lang="en-GB"> for advertisers </span><span lang="en-US">and retailers. </span><span lang="en-GB">Therefore, the installed base of DOOH screens wills more than triple in the next three years. I am sure that EnQii will benefit hugely from such tremendous market growth.” </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span lang="en-GB">Carolyn Prowse from Ithmaar Bank says: “We invested in EnQii last year and are very pleased to see its growth since the investment. With Amadeus and Wellington joining us as shareholders we remain confident that EnQii will have a very strong future.”</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span lang="en-GB">The Amadeus team on this investment was Roy Merritt and Jason Pinto.  The Wellington team was Frank Boehnke and Ernst Mannheimer.  The Ithmaar Bank team was Carolyn Prowse and Scott Cresswell. Advisers to the investors were: Taylor Wessing and Trowers &amp; Hamlins (Legal) and Baker Tilly (Accounting); and to EnQii: Heller Ehrman (Legal) and PriceWaterhouseCoopers (Tax).   </span></p>
