Mandalay Media to Acquire
Green Screen Interactive Software

Beverly Hills, CA—May 22, 2008—Mandalay Media, Inc. (OTCBB: MNDL.OB) announced today that it signed a letter of intent to purchase video gaming company Green Screen Interactive Software, Inc. Based in New York, Green Screen is a diversified global publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment software with divisions producing frontline and casual game titles for all major console and portable gaming platforms.

The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including execution of a definitive acquisition agreement and the completion of due diligence. There can be no assurance that the acquisition will be consummated or, if consummated, that it will be consummated on the terms set forth in the letter of intent.

Backed by an experienced and successful management team who have created some of the most respected brands and well-known video game properties ever, Green Screen is one of the fastest-growing publishers in the $9.5 billion dollar video game industry*. Most recently, Green Screen announced the acquisition of ZOO Digital Publishing and Destination Software, Inc., which Green Screen combined to form a new casual game label, Zoo Games. Green Screen’s wholly owned label Zoo Games is currently producing and selling games in the casual game space.


Mandalay Media’s strategic focus is on acquiring various types of companies in digital distribution, interactive entertainment, and online digital media and publishing. Mandalay Media will accomplish this by utilizing the combined strengths of the media industry relationships and expertise of its officers and directors, including Peter Guber, Chairman and CEO of Mandalay Entertainment Group and Rob Ellin, Partner, Trinad Capital.
