TM Entertainment and Media, Inc. Announces Settlement of Consent Solicitation Contest, Postponement of Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Tuesday March 31, 2009, 4:37 pm EDT

NEW YORK, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TM Entertainment and Media, Inc. (the "Company") (Amex: TMI - News), today announced that it has reached an agreement with Opportunity Partners L.P., a fund in the Bulldog Investors ("Bulldog") group of private investment funds in connection with Bulldog's ongoing consent solicitation and proposed proxy solicitation. In connection with the settlement, Bulldog has agreed (i) to cease its efforts to effectuate an early windup of the Company, (ii) not to oppose the board of directors at the next meeting of stockholders or otherwise seek to exercise control over the management of the Company, (iii) to withdraw its demand to force the Company to hold an annual meeting of stockholders, and (iv) to enter into a forward contract with the Company or a third party whereby Bulldog would not vote its shares against a proposed business combination. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed to name one person to be designated by Bulldog to its Board of Directors, who will be independent of both Bulldog and the Company, qualify as an audit committee "financial expert" and otherwise be acceptable to the current members of the Board of Directors of the Company. That director is expected to be named sometime next week. In addition, the Company will reimburse Bulldog for certain expenses it incurred in connection with its consent solicitation and proposed proxy solicitation.

As a result of the settlement agreement with Bulldog, the Board of Directors has determined to postpone the previously announced annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for May 13, 2009, until such time as the Company holds a meeting of stockholders to approve a proposed business combination with an acquisition partner to be identified by the Company. The Company intends to hold an election of directors at such meeting of stockholders.
