      offer to acquire all of 24/7 Real Media’s 
      outstanding shares of common stock for $11.75 per share net to the 
      sellers in cash without interest. Unless the tender offer is extended, 
      it and any withdrawal rights to which 24/7 Real Media’s 
      stockholders may be entitled will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York
