Mexican Business Executive and Entrepreneur Jack Kahan to Spearhead
Development

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Getfugu, Inc., the next
generation mobile search tool, is making its first step towards global
expansion with a distribution licensing agreement with successful Mexican
business executive and entrepreneur Jack Kahan. Kahan has a long and
distinguished set of accomplishments. Former President of the US Mexico
Chamber of Commerce, Kahan spearheaded the Latin American expansion of Dominos
Pizza, and is a member of Mexico's well established Kahan family, one of the
first families to distribute Chrysler cars in the region, a legacy that has
lasted over 80 years. The Kahan family was also the first to bring the
McDonald's brand to Mexico, opening its first restaurant in the territory.
With the agreement, Kahan will introduce Getfugu to the Latin American
territories.

"There are more mobile phones in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina than domestic
phone lines. The 13 countries where we will distribute Getfugu have a combined
market potential of 500 million people, making us one of the global leaders in
the distribution of this revolutionary application," said Jack Kahan. "The 13
new countries include Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. We will
introduce Getfugu's mobile search technology to the leading mobile phone
companies including Telcel, Movistar, Nextel and Iusacel," added Kahan.

Getfugu will continue its launch in the United States during the Fall of 2009.
Europe and Asia will come next. By the end of 2011, Getfugu aims to make its
application available to 90% of the world's 4 Billion mobile phone users.

"This licensing agreement with Latin America is a critical part of our global
launch plan, it's a large and important territory. We couldn't be more excited
to have this deal and the fabulous Jack Kahan aboard to lead us," said Getfugu
Co-Founder Richard Jenkins.

Getfugu's new mobile search tool enables consumers to experience the Internet
and make purchases on cellular phones in an entirely new way by offering four
unique services including:
