ABOUT FREEMONEE NETWORK

FreeMonee Network, Inc. (www.freemonee.com) is the world's first and only gift network - connecting millions of credit and debit cardholders from the world's largest financial institutions with national and local merchants. Merchants offer FreeMonee Gifts - cash incentives - to individual cardholders through their financial institutions. FreeMonee Gifts function like a gift card on an individual's debit or credit card, allowing consumers to purchase anything they want with the designated merchant, with no strings attached. FreeMonee anonymously matches consumers to the Gifts using their proprietary Adaptive Matching Technology that analyzes card transaction data to identify the highest value consumers for merchants. FreeMonee's AMT (News - Alert) engine uses anonymized cardholder data, which means neither FreeMonee nor the participating merchants ever have access to a cardholder's personal information. Consumer privacy is maintained at all times. Through partnerships with top U.S. financial institutions, the company expects 50 million households to have access to FreeMonee Gifts in 2012.
