VoyagerIT.Com PLC 25 August 2000 VoyagerIT.com plc ('Voyager' or 'the Company') Investment in ThinkDirectMarketing.com Inc. Voyager is pleased to announce that it has agreed terms to invest $1 million in ThinkDirectMarketing.com Inc.('TDMI') for a 14.3% interest in the share capital of that company, and to invest a further $4,000,000 in convertible loan notes as additional working capital for TDMI in two tranches in October 2000 and January 2001. Founded in 1998, TDMI is an online provider of direct mail marketing services for small and medium sized businesses in the USA. TDMI designs, develops and distributes online products and services that automate and streamline direct marketing processes, and provides instant access to over 130 million consumers and businesses in North America.

Voyager has also agreed terms for an option to acquire the remaining issued share capital of TDMI for an additional consideration of US$20 million (subject to certain performance criteria to be met by TDMI over the next financial year). The option is exercisable entirely at Voyager's discretion and cannot be called upon by TDMI. Voyager has already invested US$500,000 in TDMI in March 2000 by way of Convertible Loan Notes. Following the failure of a number of high profile business- to-consumer ('B2C') internet businesses and the downgrading of companies in that area, Voyager has been reviewing its investment strategy. The Board has decided to liquidate some of its investments in the B2C area and to focus on investing in and/or acquiring business-to-business ('B2B') IT and internet companies. The Board believes there to be much more opportunity for shareholder growth in B2B businesses and is likely to apply the proceeds of its disposals in B2C interests to this area. The Company will be announcing its figures for the year to 30th September 2000 in the near future and the Directors are confident of a positive outcome. As part of their new strategy, subject to regulatory approval, Voyager intends to establish an unlisted ADR programme to enable the Company to be traded on the OTC market in the USA. The Bank of New York has been appointed a Depository for this facility.
