As previously planned by Intermix Media, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s special meeting of stockholders scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on September 28, 2005 to vote on the proposal to adopt the agreement and plan of merger with News Corporation was convened and adjourned until 3:00 p.m. pacific time on September 30, 2005. In addition, as previously reported, two putative class action law suits captionedRon Sheppard v. Richard Rosenblatt et. al., Case No. BC338945 andJohn Friedmann v. Intermix Media, Inc. et. al.,Case No. BC339083, were filed in the California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles on August 26, 2005 and August 31, 2005, respectively. On September 26, 2005, plaintiff in theFriedmann action applied to the Court for a temporary restraining order seeking a further adjournment of the special meeting of stockholders. On September 28, 2005, after hearing argument in the matter, the Court issued a tentative ruling denying the application. The Court is expected to issue a final opinion and order on September 29, 2005. Any such order may be subject to appeal. If the final order is consistent with the tentative ruling, the Company plans to reconvene its special meeting of stockholders as scheduled at 3:00 p.m. pacific time, on September 30, 2005 at its corporate headquarters, located at 6060 Center Drive, Suite 300, Los Angeles California 90045.

The factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those suggested by any such statements include, but are not limited to, a change in the tentative order discussed above, an appeal of the final opinion and order or other intervening circumstances or events that result in a delay or adjournment of the special meeting of stockholders, currently scheduled to reconvene on September 30, 2005, or that affect the Company’s ability to satisfy the conditions to closing in the merger agreement with News Corporation.
