TORONTO, April 27 /CNW/ - Intertainment Media Inc. ("Intertainment" or the "Company") (TSXV:INT) is pleased to announce that it has completed the initial closing of its previously announced brokered private placement financing with M Partners Inc. (the "Agent"). Intertainment issued a total of 14,498,329 units ("Units") at a price of $0.16 per Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $2,319,730 in this initial closing. Each Unit issued pursuant to the private placement is comprised of one common share of Intertainment ("Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share for a period of 24 months following the closing of the private placement at an exercise price of $0.20 per Common Share. All securities issued in connection with this private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period. A second closing is expected to be completed shortly.

It is anticipated that the net proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund the Company's growth, the repayment of outstanding debentures issued on various dates from November 2006 to December 2007 and for general working capital.

The Agent was entitled to a cash commission of 7% of the gross proceeds from the Units arranged for sale by it, and was issued Agent's options to purchase that number of Units equal to 7% of the Units arranged for sale by it, exercisable for 24 months following the closing of the private placement.
