SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 18, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GOFH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- GoFish Corporation (OTCBB:GOFH)(www.gofishcorp.com), a leading digital media company, announced that it has closed its previously announced equity financing raising $22.5 million. The company completed the financing through the sale of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock in a private placement with three institutional investors led by Panorama Capital, Rustic Canyon Partners and Rembrandt Venture Partners. Existing holders of approximately $5.4 million of the company's debt also converted debt into convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock. Rembrandt Venture Partners has the option to invest an additional $2.5 million within 60 days of the closing.

The company used a portion of the proceeds to repurchase all of its remaining, unconverted debt. In addition, all of the warrants previously issued in connection with the company's existing debt were either repurchased or converted into common stock at the closing. The company will use the remainder of the proceeds to further accelerate the growth of its immersive media solutions and continue expansion of its sales and marketing team.

Full details of the financing will be reported today when the company files its Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
