('Media Corp' or “the Company')

(AIM:MDC)

RE: Issue of Warrants

Further to the announcements on 29th October 2008 regarding issue of warrants by the Company, the Board wishes to make the following points of clarification regarding the issue:-

Number of warrants

The total number of warrants issued is 27,250,000, allocated as set out below. This total number is 5,000,000 less than the total number of warrants announced on 29th October 2008 and is under 10% of the reduced issued share capital of the Company following the recent completion of the share buy back.

Status of warrants

The warrants give a right to subscribe for new shares for a period of three years from issue, subject to the recipient remaining employed by the Company at the time of exercise and any individual performance criteria having been satisfied. Performance criteria will lapse in the event of a takeover or other “Exit Event” occurring.

The warrants replace all 16,500,000 previous grants of warrants or options under the 2001 Employee Share Option Plan (2001 ESOP) to the current recipients and constitute new grants rather than an adjustment to existing grants. The warrants are not granted pursuant to the 2001 ESOP, but do comprise a grant pursuant to an “employees’ share scheme” for the purposes of the Companies Act 1985.
