Intermix Media Announces Closing of Focalex Acquisition and Provides Update on Stockholder Litigation LOS ANGELES, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intermix Media, Inc. (AMEX: MIX) announced today that it has consummated its acquisition of Massachusetts- based Focalex, Inc., an Internet advertising and affiliate marketing company. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement previously announced by Intermix on October 12, 2004, the Company will pay Focalex stockholders aggregate acquisition consideration of $4.3 million consisting of approximately $2.6 million in cash and 548,000 shares of Intermix Media common stock. Intermix Media also provided an update today on its pending stockholder litigations matters. On October 1, 2004, the Company's motion to dismiss the consolidated derivative action pending against the Company and various of its current and former officers and directors in Los Angeles Superior Court was granted and the lawsuit was dismissed. Plaintiffs may appeal the decision of the Court, but to date, have not filed notice of their intent to do so. In addition, the Company announced today that an agreement in principle has been reached to settle a consolidated securities class action case pending in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. The lead plaintiff and the Company have agreed to settle the lawsuit for $5.5 million in cash. The Company's insurance carriers have conditionally agreed to fund the entire settlement. Consummation of the settlement is conditioned on agreement by the parties to the additional terms and conditions of a stipulation of settlement and upon the Court's acceptance and approval of the settlement. "The anticipated resolution of the class action lawsuit is another important milestone in the turn-around of Intermix Media," said Richard Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer. "This settlement is an important step toward removing obstacles that could hinder the growth of the business and the enhancement of stockholder value, and is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing in any respect."
