GoFish to Acquire Bolt Media



    GoFish Corporation (OTCBB:GOFH), the leading publicly-traded
    online video company where millions of people come to watch, upload
    and share videos, today announced it has agreed to acquire Bolt, Inc.
    (aka Bolt Media) in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at up to $30
    million. The combined company will develop made-for-Internet
    programming that is ideally suited for advertisers targeting the 18-34
    year-old demographic.

    The acquisition will enable GoFish, one of the fastest-growing
    video sites on the Internet, to distribute its original short form
    programs through Bolt's online properties, including Bolt.com, a
    popular youth-oriented website focused on enabling people to interact
    and express themselves in unique ways through user-generated media
    including video, photos and personal blogs. Bolt, which reported sales
    in 2006 of approximately $7 million (unaudited), counts Coca-Cola,
    Verizon Wireless, Nike, Sony and various other Fortune 500 companies
    among its repeat advertisers. GoFish, with its pipeline of original
    programs such as America's Dream Date(TM) and Artist Voices(TM), will
    benefit from the reach and creative nature of Bolt's online community
    as well as the scale of Bolt's advertising sales capabilities.

    "Bolt is one of the Internet's great youth brands and a perfect
    fit for GoFish," said Michael Downing, co-founder and CEO of GoFish.
    "Bolt's blue chip advertisers recognize that the company excels at
    marketing to online communities. We wanted to acquire a large,
    creative audience to interact and participate in our original
    programming, as well as a sales organization to package these shows
    for premium advertisers. We expect Bolt to deliver on both fronts."

    The combination will create the largest independent online video
    company on the Web with roughly 7 million monthly unique visitors in
    the U.S., according to Comscore Media Metrix, and over 19 million
    globally.

    "The future of online video lies in nurturing the creative
    generation to produce made-for-Internet content that will accelerate
    the migration of advertising dollars from television to the Internet,"
    said Aaron Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Bolt Media who, along with
    Bolt's President, Jay Gould, will join GoFish when the merger is
    completed. "The combined company will create better programming for
    our audiences and our advertisers. Couple this with a valuable public
    currency, Bolt's large audience, and a roster of blue-chip
    advertisers, and we now have the platform to consolidate the industry
    and build a business with significant scale."

    Both companies have approved the transaction, which is subject to
    approval by Bolt's stockholders and certain additional closing
    conditions, and is expected to close in March or April of 2007.
