Due to Close Proximity of Scheduled Stockholder Meeting SEC Rules Require Cessation of Additional Public Communications by Brad Greenspan; Temporary Restraining Order Being Sought against Intermix Could Enable Additional Communications

Business Wire, Sept 28, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- Brad Greenspan announced today that because the meeting of stockholders of Intermix Media, Inc. (Amex: MIX) scheduled for September 30 will occur before he reasonably believes he will be able to deliver a definitive proxy statement to Intermix stockholders in opposition to the acquisition of Intermix by News Corporation (NYSE: NWS), he is obligated under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to make no additional statements with respect to the proposed News Corp. transaction that would constitute proxy solicitations.

Brad Greenspan, acting on behalf of FreeMySpace LLC, filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC on September 26, 2005, and such proxy is subject to a statutory SEC review period before it can be distributed. "I am disappointed that the Intermix Board only postponed the Intermix meeting by two days, since that will prevent us from being able to obtain SEC clearance, print a definitive proxy statement and distribute it to stockholders prior to the meeting date," said Mr. Greenspan. "Under the rules of the SEC, I must cease to make public communications that constitute 'proxy solicitations' if I conclude, as I have, that I will not be able to deliver a definitive proxy statement prior to the currently scheduled meeting date."

However, if Intermix voluntarily delays the date of the meeting, or if the meeting is delayed pursuant to the motion for a Temporary Restraining Order pending in John Friedmann v. Intermix Media, Inc. et. al. (Case No. BC339083 in the California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles) to be heard on Wednesday September 28, 2005, and as a result Mr. Greenspan is able to reasonably conclude he will be able to provide a definitive proxy statement to stockholders prior to the new meeting date, then Mr. Greenspan expects to resume his proxy solicitation activities with respect to the News Corp. transaction.
