  MARKHAM, ONTARIO, Apr 29 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Momentum Advanced Solutions Inc. (TSX: WWW), ("Momentum" or the
"Company"), announced today that Momentum's shareholders have approved by
special resolution, the previously announced arrangement whereby
companies controlled by Sheldon Pollack and Phillip De Leon, the Chief
Executive Officer and President, respectively, of Momentum, will acquire
all of the common shares of Momentum not owned by them (the
"Arrangement"). The Arrangement was approved by 99.1% of the votes cast
by shareholders at the meeting, including 98.1% of the votes cast for
purposes of the majority of the minority approval requirements of
applicable securities laws. The Arrangement is expected to be effective
on April 30, 2009 and will include the purchase of the Class B shares
provided for under the Arrangement and remains subject to final approval
of the court.

    As soon as practicable following completion of the Arrangement, it is
expected that all common shares of Momentum will be de-listed from the
Toronto Stock Exchange. Additionally, Momentum intends to make an
application to the Canadian securities regulatory authorities for an
order that Momentum will no longer be a reporting issuer (or equivalent)
under applicable Canadian securities laws.
