Big Stick Media Corporation (TSX VENTURE: BSM) ("BSM" or the "Company") announced today that it has been advised that 2242823 Ontario Incorporated ("Acquisitionco") has entered into a support agreement (the "Support Agreement") with Liberty Fun Assets, LLC ("Liberty") pursuant to which Liberty has agreed to vote in favour of the proposed amalgamation of Acquisitionco and BSM. The Support Agreement remains in effect until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the proposed amalgamation; and (ii) thirty (30) days following the termination of the acquisition agreement between BSM and Acquisitionco. Liberty is BSM's largest shareholder; according to its public filings holding 4,500,000 common shares of BSM, representing approximately 18.76% of the outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares").

On May 19, 2010, BSM announced that ten of its shareholders (the "Buyers"), holding an aggregate of approximately 9.98 million Common Shares, representing approximately 41.60% of all of BSM's Common Shares, had entered into an agreement with BSM to acquire all of the outstanding Common Shares not held directly or indirectly by the Buyers at a price of $0.10 cash per Common Share.

The going-private transaction (the "GPT") will be effected by way of an amalgamation between BSM and Acquisitionco, which is wholly-owned by the Buyers. For the amalgamation to proceed, the special resolution authorizing the amalgamation must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by BSM shareholders at the shareholders' meeting called to consider the proposed transaction. In addition, the amalgamation must also be approved by a majority of the votes cast by BSM's minority shareholders at such meeting. It is anticipated that the meeting will be held in early July, 2010. Full details of the GPT will be contained in a management information circular to be mailed to BSM's shareholders. Completion of the GPT is also subject to regulatory approval.
