NEW MOTION, INC.  PARENT MPLC, INC. CLOSES ON $10,000,000 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Latest Investment Brings Total To $20,000,000; Reverse Stock Split In Works

IRVINE, CA --
MPLC, Inc. (“MPLC”) (OTCBB: MPNC), the publicly traded parent company of digital entertainment company New Motion, Inc., announced today that it has closed a private placement, raising gross proceeds of $10,000,000.  This investment enables the two year old company to continue to grow organically and participate in the rapidly consolidating mobile entertainment marketplace.

In the placement, MPLC sold approximately 8,334 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock which are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 500,040,000 shares of its Common Stock.  This results in an effective price per share of Common Stock of approximately $.02. 

MPLC’s board has also authorized a 300 for 1 reverse stock split to go into effect in the next 30 to 60 days.  Following the completion of the 300 for 1 reverse stock-split, MPLC estimates that it will have approximately 11,680,488 shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Calculations are that shares of Series D Preferred Stock sold in the offering will automatically convert into approximately 1,666,800 shares of MPLC Common Stock, resulting in an effective price per share of Common Stock of approximately $6.00 on a post reverse stock-split basis.  Shares of Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into a total of approximately 9,763,688 shares of MPLC Common Stock.  The currently outstanding shares of MPLC Common Stock will be reduced from 75,000,000 shares to approximately 250,000 shares.  For a more complete discussion of the currently planed reverse-split and the capital structure of MPLC, please refer to MPLC’s public filings and specifically the Form 8-K dated February 12, 2007.  

"We are excited about the completion of the Series D private placement.  This completes a series of transactions whereby we have acquired and financed New Motion, Inc., a consumer digital entertainment company that is now well positioned to take advantage of projected growth in the mobile entertainment market,” said Burton Katz, chief executive officer of MPLC and New Motion, Inc.   “The $20 million in gross proceeds we recently raised in the combined Series A, B and D offerings, along with the assets recently acquired from Mobliss, provide us with the capital, platform and technology necessary to execute our strategy and leverage the growing trend of consumers who use their mobile devices to interact with media services on the Internet.”
