GRAVITY Co., Ltd. enters into a Memorandum of Understanding with CJ Internet Corp. SEOUL, South Korea, October 25, 2005. GRAVITY Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRVY) Today, we entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with CJ Internet Corp. (“CJ Internet”) to explore the possibility of entering into a strategic alliance regarding the development, publishing and servicing of certain online games in Korea. We have agreed with CJ Internet to establish a joint committee to formulate and negotiate the terms and conditions of the strategic alliance, which the parties have agreed in principle will include: - - Online games developed and published by us in Korea will be serviced by the website operated by CJ Internet, www.netmarble.net; - - CJ Internet will have the right to co-publish certain games developed or published by us; - - Revenue sharing arrangements for the online games which will be co-published by CJ Internet and us will be subject to further agreement; and - - The term of the strategic alliance will be three years. CJ Internet and we have agreed that neither party will pursue with any other party a strategic alliance regarding the development and publishing of online games. The MOU will expire on the date which is the earlier of the date which is three months from today and the date CJ Internet and we enter into definitive agreements concerning the strategic alliance. We believe that by utilizing CJ Internet’s dominant domestic position in online game publishing, we will be able to more effectively market in Korea the online games we develop. Furthermore, we believe that as we will be able to rely on CJ Internet for domestic marketing, we will be able to focus on our overseas business, as well as on development of online games, sourcing of new game developers and global publishing. We expect that the combination of our game development capabilities and CJ Internet’s publishing strengths will achieve synergistic effects for the benefit of both parties. About GRAVITY Co., Ltd. Based in Korea, Gravity is a developer and distributor of online games. The Company's principal product, Ragnarok Online, is currently commercially offered in 20 markets.
