TORONTO, Dec. 7 /CNW/ - OutdoorPartner Media Corporation (TSX-V: OPX - News) ("OutdoorPartner" or the "Company"), a leading alternative out-of-home media provider, today announced that it has entered into an agreement that will effect the sale of substantially all of its assets (the "Transaction").

OutdoorPartner and it U.S. operating subsidiary, Intelligent Media Corporation operating under the name Prime Point Media ("PPM"), have entered into an agreement dated December 7, 2009 (the "Purchase Agreement") with Brite Media Group LLC ("Brite Media") and a newly formed subsidiary of Brite Media ( "NewCo"), pursuant to which PPM has agreed to sell substantially all of its assets, including all of its phone kiosk and other media-related assets (the "Phone Kiosk Assets"). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for the Phone Kiosk Assets, NewCo will assume certain liabilities and pay OutdoorPartner cash consideration of US$2.0 million, subject to a working capital adjustment and an adjustment based on revenue between closing and April 30, 2010. Closing is conditional on obtaining OutdoorPartner shareholder approval and other customary conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The Purchase Agreement includes a non-solicitation covenant by OutdoorPartner, subject to customary provisions that entitle OutdoorPartner to consider and accept a superior proposal, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, to purchase the Phone Kiosk Assets or all of the assets or share capital of OutdoorPartner. The Purchase Agreement also provides NewCo with the right to match any superior proposal and provides for a termination payment of US$195,000 payable by OutdoorPartner to NewCo if the Transaction is terminated as a result of a superior proposal. In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides for a termination payment of US$100,000 payable by OutdoorPartner to NewCo if the Transaction is not approved by OutdoorPartner shareholders.

OutdoorPartner shareholders will be asked to approve the Transaction at a special meeting of shareholders which is expected to occur in January 2010 (the "Meeting"). The board of directors of the Company has unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction at the Meeting. The Transaction will require the approval of two-thirds of OutdoorPartner shareholders present in person or by proxy. The Transaction is expected to close within 75 days of the date of the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the divesture, the Company will cease active business operations, and its listing may be transferred from Tier 2 of the TSX Venture Exchange to the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Net proceeds from the Transaction will be subject to: (i) transaction costs; (ii) Prime Point Media's working capital at the time of closing; and (iii) revenue generated by the Phone Kiosk Assets during the period from closing through April 30, 2010.

The Purchase Agreement is the culmination of an exhaustive sale process that was announced in March of 2009 and was conducted with the assistance of the Company's financial advisor, Petsky Prunier LLC. Petsky Prunier LLC will be paid a fee by the Company equal to 5% of the equity value of the Transaction, subject to a minimum fee of US$300,000.

Copies of the Purchase Agreement relating to the Transaction will be filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and will be available at [ www.sedar.com ]. A management proxy circular in respect of the Meeting is expected to be mailed to shareholders in December, 2009.
