CHICAGO, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ --

InfoCast Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: IFCC) a Vertical Service Provider for the call center industry, announced today that it has received cash and commitments for $4.8 million in equity financing from Canadian and European-based investors.

> Jim Leech, President and CEO of InfoCast said, "This is the first of a series of financing rounds that we have planned to strengthen our balance sheet and provide additional operational liquidity. The funds received in this round will be applied to the deployment of our call center solution. We also intend to redeem the $1.25 million owing under the 7% subordinated convertible debenture issued to CALP II in late 2000."

Based on the funds and commitments received to date, InfoCast will issue 9.6 million common shares and 3-year warrants to acquire 4.8 million common shares at a price of $0.75 per share. InfoCast may accept additional subscriptions for this financing over the next week.

"This is a challenging environment for raising money and investors are being extremely selective with the investments they make," notes Jim Leech. "We are encouraged that these investors see the tremendous opportunity in our company. The fact that they have participated in this financing round is validation of our business plan."

InfoCast has built a complete solution around two core applications designed to work together as a single platform for customer care:

Contact - The foundation of InfoCast's virtual call center solution is a

complete customer contact center infrastructure available on a

Call Distribution (ACD) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system on

InfoCast servers and connecting customer service representatives (CSR) via

a high-speed data network, call centers can be up and running with a

minimum of effort. This state-of-the-art Web-enabled technology will

distribute customer calls to the appropriate agent, wherever they are

located.

e-Learning - This complete electronic learning environment increases

productivity and drives down education costs by giving corporate and

academic learners access to up-to-the-minute training and certification

anytime, anywhere. The focal point of the e-Learning application is the

Contact Center Academy. This offering is a web-based portal that provides

access to training and knowledge management resources specific to the call

center industry.
