RNS Number : 4277X Axismobile PLC 24 June 2008 AxisMobile PLC ("AxisMobile" or "the Company") US $0.5 million follow-on loan facility AxisMobile PLC (AIM: AXIS), the hi-tech specialist in consumer mobile email, today announces that its current debt holders (the "Lenders") have indicated their willingness to provide the Company with additional debt finance. The sum of $500,000 (the "Loan") has been made available, of which $370,000 has already been drawn down. The Company explored a number of potential funding options before concluding that the Loan represents the best option available to the Company to satisfy its immediate financing requirements. The respective participations of the Lenders in the Loan are as follows: Plenus Venture Lending: $150,000 Pitango Venture Capital: $150,000 SVM Israel: $150,000 Concord Ventures: $50,000. This current financing is a follow-on loan facility to earlier loans provided by these debt holders and this financing is provided on the same terms as the previous loans. The Loan is repayable over 24 months and interest is charged at LIBOR plus 5.5%. The terms of the Compromise Agreement described below will also apply. As stated in the announcement of 5 June 2008, the Company remains in ongoing discussions with potential buyers and will update the market in due course. The current financing detailed above has been provided by the Lenders to enable the Company to fully explore these strategic options. As part of the arrangements with the Lenders referred to above, the Company has entered into an agreement with the Lenders dated 15 June 2008 (the "Compromise Agreement"). The Compromise Agreement is conditional, inter alia, upon a final agreement for the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of the Company or substantially all of the Company's assets (a "Sale") being entered into within 90 days of the date of the Compromise Agreement. The Compromise Agreement is also conditional upon a definitive agreement relating to the Sale being approved by each of the Lenders. Under the terms of the Compromise Agreement, each of the Lenders has agreed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Lenders of each of the conditions to the Compromise Agreement, that all sums owed to the Lenders (including the sums advanced pursuant to the Loan) and all warrants granted to the Lenders, shall be cancelled. In consideration of such cancellation, the Lenders will receive a proportion of the consideration received in relation to a Sale. The proportion of the consideration to be apportioned to the Lenders will be equal to the proportion of ordinary shares of the Company that the Lenders would receive if the sums owed to them by the Company were converted into shares in the Company on the basis of one share for every $0.1187 owed as at the date of the Compromise Agreement and one share for every $0.041545 of indebtedness (including the Loan described above) incurred between the date of the Compromise Agreement and completion of the Sale. As part of the loan facility is being provided by existing shareholders of the Company, Pitango Venture Capital and Concord Ventures, the Loan is classified as a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies. The directors, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Canaccord Adams Limited, consider the terms of the Loan and the Compromise Agreement are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned. All dollar references in this announcement are to US dollars. Sharon David, CEO of AxisMobile, commented: The additional funds provided by the follow-on loans from our current debt holder will facilitate AxisMobile's continuous expansion of its customer base and enable the Company to fully explore the discussions with strategic buyers.

It is a leader in the emerging market of consumer mobile email which allows consumers to access email via mobile telephone handsets. * AxisMobile's objective is to provide software that drives the mass market adoption of mobile email and related products by making multimedia information portable, ubiquitous and easy to access on subscribers' existing mobile handsets at an attractive cost. AxisMobile's email platform provides a 'one-stop-shop' for consumer mobile as it supports Web, WAP, IMAP4, MMS, SMS and J2ME interfaces. Such interfaces cover most methods of transmitting mobile data communications. AxisMobile's platform means that mobile operators no longer need to integrate platforms from different vendors. This reduces costs. AxisMobile aims to leverage customer relationships by offering additional products and services based on its technology platform, hence producing cross-sales and increasing the value to customers and to its shareholders. * Consumer mobile email represents a huge growth opportunity for mobile operators and vendors. The success of mobile communications has become a worldwide phenomenon with approximately 1.7 billion subscribers globally. In 2005, Forrester research estimated that the number of Western European consumer mobile email users will increase from 12.3 million in 2005 to 62.7 million by 2008. During the same period, revenues from consumer mobile mail will grow from EUR120 million per year to EUR1.15 billion per year in Western Europe alone. In the US, Forrester estimates that the number of consumer mobile email users will increase from 12.1 million in 2005 to 38 million in 2008 and that revenues will soar from $13 million per year in 2005 to $406 million in 2008. * The loan from Plenus was through Plenus II L.P. and Plenus II (D.C.M.)
