                COMPANY TO EFFECT 1-FOR-1,000 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
                         AND "GOING PRIVATE" TRANSACTION


         MIAMI, FLORIDA, MARCH 18, 2003 -- StarMedia Network, Inc., d/b/a
CycleLogic Mobile Solutions (the "Company") today announced the results of its
annual meeting of stockholders held on March 17, 2003 in Miami, Florida.

         The results were as follows:

         o     PROPOSAL NO. 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTOR. Susan Segal, the
               Company's acting Chairman of the Board of Directors, was
               re-elected as a director to serve an additional term until
               the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders.

         o     PROPOSAL NO. 2 - CHANGE OF NAME. The stockholders approved an
               amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of
               Incorporation to change the Company's name to "CycleLogic, Inc."

         o     PROPOSAL NO. 3 - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT. The stockholders approved
               an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate
               of Incorporation to effect a one-for-1,000 reverse stock split
               of all outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, thus
               enabling the Company to "go private."

         o     PROPOSAL NO. 4 - NUMBER OF DIRECTORS ON BOARD. The stockholders
               approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated
               Certificate of Incorporation to provide that the minimum number
               of directors be no less than three (3) nor more than nine (9)
               (exclusive of directors, if any, to be elected by holders of
               preferred stock of the Company, voting separately as a class).

         o     PROPOSAL NO. 5 - STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. The
               stockholders did not approve a proposal to amend the Company's
               Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to permit
               stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

         In light of stockholder approval of Proposals No. 2 and No. 3,
effective as of midnight tonight, the Company expects to amend its Certificate
of Incorporation to effect the change of the Company's name and the reverse
stock split, as described in the Company's proxy statement dated February 12,
2003. The Company also expects to file a Form 15 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission before the end of the month in order to deregister the
Company's common stock and terminate its public company reporting obligations.
