TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/04/12 -- ZoomerMedia Limited (the "Company" or "ZoomerMedia") (TSX VENTURE:ZUM) is pleased to announce it has closed a $17 million debt financing arrangement with Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC").

The debt financing is made up of a $7 million mortgage on the Company's property (held in its wholly-owned subsidiary) located on Jefferson Avenue in Toronto and a $7 million term loan and $3 million operating facility secured by a charge over the assets of the Company including the Jefferson Avenue property. The $7 million term loan and $3 million operating facility represent an amendment to a $10 million operating facility that was arranged with RBC in November 2010. The $7 million mortgage replaces a previous mortgage managed by First National Financial LLP ("First National Mortgage"). The $7 million term loan and the $7 million mortgage have an amortization period of 25 years, interest rate of 6.297% per annum and a term of 3 years. Amounts drawn under the $3 million operating facility will bear interest at RBC prime plus 2% per annum.

The net proceeds of the debt financing (after expenses including those relating to the defeasement of the First National Mortgage) will be primarily used to complete the renovations of the Company's Jefferson Avenue property so that it can consolidate all of its operations into one location.
