FinancialContent Reaches Settlement With Creditor, Relinquishes Ownership of Subsidiary

FinancialContent, Inc. (OTCBB: FCON) today
announced that the Company has concluded negotiations with Jade Special
Strategies and has agreed to settle claims for the full and immediate
repayment of senior secured convertible promissory notes in the amount of
$1,165,000 by assigning the promissory notes to FinancialContent Services,
Inc. ("FCS"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and by relinquishing
ownership of FCS.
On March 15, 2008, the Company had received a letter from Jade Special
Strategies demanding full and immediate repayment of the promissory notes
or alternatively the transfer of the assets of FCS. To date, the Company
had been unable to pay the promissory notes by securing new financing or by
selling the assets under terms that were acceptable to all parties
involved. In order to avoid having the Company placed into involuntary
bankruptcy and prolonging the lengthy and costly process of liquidating the
assets and distributing the proceeds, the Company reached a settlement by
agreeing to assign the responsibility and ownership of assets and debt to a
related party that was satisfactory to Jade Special Strategies.
While the settlement is expected to address the claims made by Jade Special
Strategies and to permit the Company to continue operating as a business
entity, there is no assurance that the settlement will enhance the value of
the Company's remaining subsidiaries and assets and the value of its
securities.
The settlement has been actualized in the form of a stock purchase
agreement along with an assignment and assumption and release agreement
which are expected to take effect within the next 30 days pursuant to the
consents or authorizations of principal shareholders and filed in
accordance with regulations set forth by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
For more information, please review the Company's pre-14C filing with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at http://www.sec.gov.
