Mamma.com Inc., (NASDAQ:MAMA) (the "Company"), today stated that negotiations to acquire Copernic Technologies Inc. are ongoing and that the Company's evaluation of due diligence materials is nearing completion. Both parties expect to close the transaction before November 30th, 2005. It was previously expected that the parties would close the transaction in the third quarter of 2005. "Although our schedule for completing due diligence was very aggressive, we are now evaluating due diligence results and our review is progressing satisfactorily. Our discussions with Copernic continue to move forward and we are satisfied with the intensity of the exchanges. We are focused on working with Copernic towards the completion of this deal," said Guy Faure, President and CEO of Mamma.com Inc. "We strongly believe that the synergies created with Copernic in the search space combined with Mamma's Ad Network business will make us a stronger contender in the on-line advertising industry," added Faure. "Our team is putting forth all of its efforts in connection with this transaction," said Martin Bouchard, Chairman of Copernic Technologies. "We are eager to bring our expertise together with Mamma's and build a stronger and more competitive player in the Internet search sector," added Bouchard. The closing of the acquisition will be effected by the parties pursuant to a definitive purchase agreement, when and if negotiated and entered into by Mamma.com and Copernic. The specific terms and conditions of the LOI between Mamma.com and Copernic, including the proposed purchase price, are not being disclosed at this time due to the confidentiality restrictions in the LOI and our ongoing evaluation of due diligence, which could materially alter such terms and conditions, including the purchase price. According to the LOI, the acquisition would be subject to, among other conditions, approval by the directors of Mamma.com Inc., the shareholders of Copernic Technologies Inc. and the satisfactory review of due diligence results now in hand. Although Mamma.com and Copernic are discussing the terms and conditions of a definitive purchase agreement in good faith, there is no guarantee that the parties will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive acquisition agreement, or, that if entered into, the parties will be able to satisfy the conditions prerequisite to closing.
