Motricity Closes $30 Million in Funding
07-12-2005

DURHAM -- Mobile content provider, Motricity, has closed an additional $30
million in venture funding to fuel the company's aggressive global expansion
in the mobile content industry. The funding round was led by Chicago-based
Advanced Equities Inc., a full-service broker dealer, venture capital
investment bank and leader in late-stage private equity financing. Existing
Motricity investors also participated in this round, including Technology
Crossover Ventures (TCV), New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Intel
Capital.

This is the second round of funding Motricity has raised in the past year.
In October 2004, the company secured $27 million in a round led by TCV.
These funds have supported 260 percent year-over-year revenue growth and
helped Motricity add 150 employees in the past 10 months. The company
operates offices in San Francisco, London, Munich and Beijing, with the
Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina being home to Motricity's
global headquarters.

"This funding will accelerate our rapid global expansion as we continue to
establish strength in Europe, Asia and other regions where market demand for
wireless data services is exploding," explained Ryan Wuerch, chairman and
chief executive officer at Motricity. "Consumer demand for personalized
content on mobile devices is creating significant opportunities for
Motricity to support the growth being experienced by wireless carriers,
content providers, media companies, portals and other partners in the mobile
ecosystem."

Motricity's consumer-centric approach to mobile content delivery and success
to-date has made the company a trusted partner to today's leading wireless
carriers, media companies and handset manufacturers, including Cingular,
Sprint, Verizon, Amazon and palmOne in the U.S. and China Unicom, O2,
Telefonica and Samsung in Asia and Europe. Motricity has also earned several
mobile industry accolades this year, including being named one of the top
100 technology firms in North America by Red Herring magazine and one of the
top 15 global wireless companies by FierceWireless, an internationally
recognized publication covering the wireless and mobile Internet market.

"The mobile industry is seeing demand for consumer-specific mobile content
grow at a significant pace, driven by the increasing availability of quality
content and reliable services. This has given traditionally non-mobile
brands cause to quickly adopt mobile strategies," said Keith Daubenspeck,
chairman of Advanced Equities. "Advanced Equities believes that Motricity
has the right technology, the right approach, the right relationships and
the right management team to address this emerging market and achieve
exponential growth in coming years."

Adding to the strength of Motricity's management team are the appointments
of Terry Addington, chairman of the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association, as a Motricity board member; Michael Robinson, former Sprint
executive, as president of Motricity's mobile content solutions group; and
former UUNET chief financial officer Matthew Petzold as Motricity's chief
financial officer. Motricity continues to attract top-level wireless
industry talent to its management team.

"Motricity is well-positioned to revolutionize the mobile content industry.
Motricity has built the largest multi-channel distribution network,
aggregated the highest quality mobile content, and is powering the leading
carrier-grade infrastructure," added Will Griffith, TCV general partner and
Motricity board member. "We believe Motricity is poised to bring this
powerful combination to the global market and build on its leadership."
