  TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Intertainment Media Inc. ("Intertainment" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:
INT) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Itibiti Systems Inc.
("Itibiti Systems") has closed on $1,415,430.50 cash for its previously
disclosed offering of convertible debentures as detailed in the press
releases dated June 4, 2009, May 5, 2009 and March 4, 2009 (the
"Offering"). Insiders are providing $650,000 of new investment into the
Offering, with Mr. David Lucatch, CEO of Intertainment Media Inc. and
President of Itibiti Systems Inc. providing $550,000. The funds are being
used to continue to execute Itibiti Systems business plan as detailed in
the news releases over the past several months and for working capital
requirements. Given the recent increase in valuation of Intertainment,
the Company has chosen to minimize dilution and will review any future
financing opportunities based on current market conditions.

    Itibiti Systems has received a $2.1 Million CDN offer from a Toronto
based Private Equity firm. The $2.1 Million offer provides for the
conversion of a previously announced term loan of $1 Million into common
stock of Itibiti Systems at $0.70 per share and the infusion of
additional $1.1 Million of working capital, subject to the approval of
the Board of Directors and the TSX Venture Exchange.

    The Company also announces that the offering detailed in the press
release dated May 21, 2009, has expired and the Company did not close on
any subscriptions pursuant to such offering. Intertainment continues to
negotiate an equity offering from an International Mutual Fund as
detailed in the May 21, 2009 release, based on an increase in price that
reflects current market conditions and subject to the approval of the
Board of Directors and the TSX Venture Exchange.

    Dundee Securities of Toronto has exercised 2,575,000 common share
purchase warrants of Intertainment Media Inc. at $0.18 for gross proceeds
of $463,500 pursuant to a previously closed financing. Proceeds were used
for the closing of the previously announced technology acquisition and
ongoing working capital requirements.

    The convertible debentures ("Debentures") of Itibiti Systems consist of
convertible debentures ("Debentures") at a subscription price of $50,000
CDN per Debenture which, unless otherwise authorized, will be payable at
15% interest per year, paid semi-annually. Each Debenture will be
convertible into the Debenture holder's choice of (a) units of
Intertainment ("Units") at a conversion price of $0.11 per Unit with each
Unit consisting of one common share and one common share purchase warrant
("Warrant"), such Warrant having an exercise price of $0.16 and being
valid for two (2) years from the date of conversion of the debenture into
shares of Intertainment Media Inc., or (b) common shares of Itibiti
Systems ("Itibiti Shares") upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (as
defined below) whereby each $0.70 of principal amount outstanding under
the Debentures can be converted into one Itibiti Share.

    A Liquidity Event is the occurrence of an event whereby Itibiti Systems
is listed for trading on a public stock exchange or whereby substantially
all of the assets or securities of Itibiti are sold or amalgamated.

    Further to disclosure requirements of applicable securities laws and as
disclosed above, the Company reports that David Lucatch, President, CEO
and a director of the Company, purchased $550,000 worth of convertible
debentures ("Debentures") pursuant to, and upon the terms of, the
Offering. Following completion of the Offering, David Lucatch, along with
his spouse, now owns or controls 13,378,753 common shares of the Company
("Shares"), or approximately 15.1% of the total issued and outstanding
Shares of the Company and options, warrants or convertible securities to
acquire up to 12,750,000 Shares ("Convertible Securities"). Assuming
exercise of such Convertible Securities, David Lucatch, along with his
spouse, would own or control 26,128,753 Shares or approximately 25.8% of
the total issued and outstanding Shares of Intertainment. David Lucatch
purchased the Debentures for investment purposes. David Lucatch may
increase or decrease his investment in the Company depending on market
conditions or any other relevant factors.
