TORONTO, CANADA — (Marketwire) — 03/02/12 — Intertainment Media Inc. (“Intertainment” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: INT)(OTCQX: ITMTF)(FRANKFURT: I4T) is pleased to provide an update on its recently announced relationship with Synchronica PLC (“Synchronica”). On February 8, 2012 Synchronica announced that it and Intertainment had entered into a Letter of Intent, which included joint efforts to integrate Intertainment-s Ortsbo, the world-s leading experiential language platform, into Synchronica-s Mobile Gateway. This combination provides seamless and real-time translation between more than 53 languages across Synchronica-s growing client base of over 100 mobile operators and device manufacturers around the world.
On February 27, 2012, Synchronica announced that together with Intertainment and Ortsbo, they had successfully integrated the technology and would present a demo of Synchronica-s new Unity Platform featuring Ortsbo-s translation technology at the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, Spain.
The Companies continue to move forward on other initiatives outlined in the Letter of Intent to jointly create value and develop profitable programs.
Full release information is available at .
The Letter of Intent also provided a provision whereby the parties had agreed, subject to due diligence, to a potential CDN $10 Million investment by Intertainment Media into Synchronica by way of a private placement. Intertainment together with investment partners, who were interested in a minimum of CDN $5 Million of the total placement, were potentially prepared to move forward with this investment. Intertainment informed Synchonica that this placement would only move forward once the current take over discussions with Myriad Group were voted on by its shareholders.
Upon further discussion with Synchronica and Myriad Group, Intertainment has decided at this time to hold off any potential investment by way of a private placement. Intertainment feels that this position is in the best interest of Intertainment and Synchronica shareholders. At this time Intertainment also feels that Myriad-s offer and direct financial support provides the best solution for the long-term success of Synchronica.
Intertainment and Synchronica will continue to work together to develop new initiatives, and Intertainment is confident, that should Myriad Group be successful in its endeavors to acquire Synchronica, it will be “business as usual” and the parties will work to develop leading solutions for a global, mobile market.
