announce that we have just acquired vWorker! </span></font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;">Headquartered in
Tampa , Florida ,
vWorker has over 2.5 million enterprise and professional users from
around the world, who have been paid over US$139 million through the
site from 1.3 million projects. </span></font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;">Founded by Ian Ippolito in
2001 originally as RentACoder.com, the marketplace was one of the
earliest companies of its kind in the world. It rapidly developed an
exceptional reputation for attracting quality programmers and grew at
an astonishing pace. From 2007 to 2010 RentACoder.com was named by Inc.
magazine as one of the 5000 fastest growing private companies in the
USA . In
2010, Entrepreneur Magazine called RentACoder “one of the
hundred smartest, most innovative, hands-down brilliant companies on
our radar". </span></font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;">Originally focusing on
programming and IT-based work, in 2010 the site expanded to include a
wide selection of work categories including graphic design, writing and
more. To reflect this expansion, the company changed its name to
vWorker - short for “virtual workerâ€. </span></font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;">Over the next few days, we
will be migrating vWorker users onto Freelancer.com. This is great news
for our existing users as it makes the world’s largest
marketplace even stronger with over 6.6 million professionals! This
means more employers, more freelancers, and more opportunities. Current
employers will see greater variety and competition among freelancers in
the marketplace, while current freelancers will see a marked increase
in the amount of work available on the site. </span></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="1"><span style="font-size:8.5pt;font-family:Arial;"><br>
