Call Genie Inc. Announces Completion of Private Placement

June 22, 2005

Call Genie Inc. (TSX-V: GNE) announced today that it has completed its previously announced private placement, for gross proceeds of $2.5 million. The Corporation accepted subscriptions for an aggregate of 5 million common shares, at a sale price of $0.50 per share. The private placement closed in two tranches (June 16 and June 22, 2005) and all shares issued in connection with the private placement are subject to resale restrictions under Canadian securities legislation for a period of four months from the date of issuance. In total, insiders of the Corporation (and associates of insiders) subscribed for and purchased approximately 27% of the total number of shares issued in connection with the private placement (33.4% including the Corporation's new Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Michael Durance).

Proceeds from the private placement will be added to the working capital of the Corporation and used to fund the continued rollout of the Corporation's EVD Service, which has been launched on a commercial basis in the Greater Toronto Area. In addition, proceeds of the private placement are expected to be utilized to pursue other business opportunities, including the ongoing effort to expand the EVD Service to urban areas outside of the Greater Toronto Area.
