NeoMedia Sells Mobot and Retains Minority Stake

FORT MYERS, FLA., Dec. 7, 2006 - Moving to fulfill its planned consolidation of its mobile marketing strategy, NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), today announced the sale of its Lexington, Massachusetts-based Mobot subsidiary to its founders, while retaining a minority ownership in the company.

NeoMedia President and CEO Charles T. Jensen said, “This step moves NeoMedia closer to fulfilling its goal of being able to target all corporate resources on the continued enhancement and ongoing marketing and launch of our patented qode suite of products in Europe, North America and China. As with the planned sale of our micro paint repair business unit, and the sale of a U.K. subsidiary last month, we have, as promised to our shareholders, continued to focus on qode while cutting back our burn rate and reversing substantial dilution.”

Under the terms of the agreement, NeoMedia returned 82% of its ownership interest in Mobot, which was acquired in February of this year, while retaining 18% ownership in the company. In addition, all obligations under the original merger agreement, including the purchase price guarantee obligation, were terminated. Based on NeoMedia’s current share price, this obligation would have been in excess of $5 million. At closing, NeoMedia contributed $67,000 in cash to Mobot, and also entered into a promissory note for an additional $200,000 payable to Mobot by December 31, 2006 or earlier on the completion of the sale of NeoMedia’s Micro Paint Repair business.

NeoMedia received 16,931 “preference shares” in Mobot, which can be redeemed to reclaim the 16,931,493 original consideration shares issued by NeoMedia in its acquisition of Mobot. Each preference share can be redeemed for 1,000 shares of the NeoMedia common stock within 15 months of the closing of this transaction. After 15 months, the preference shares can be redeemed upon a liquidation event of Mobot for either 1,000 shares of NeoMedia common stock each, or for the then-current cash equivalent of the shares.

NeoMedia also received a limited exclusive license to access Mobot services for integration with barcode-related applications.

“As a nearly one-fifth owner -- and as a licensee of Mobot services as they relate to barcode applications -- NeoMedia believes in Mobot’s technology and management team,” Mr. Jensen said.

“Moving forward, NeoMedia will continue to concentrate on developing and marketing its expertise on next-generation mobile applications and opportunities, especially for our qode direct-to-mobile-web cell phone technology,” Mr. Jensen said.

NeoMedia’s patented qode (www.qode.com) suite is an easy-to-use set of applications -- qode®reader and qode®window -- which provide One Click to Content™ connectivity for products, print, packaging and other physical objects to link directly to specific desired content on the Mobile Internet. qode®reader works with camera phones, letting users “click” on two-dimensional “smart codes” to access the Mobile Web site to which the code is linked, while qode®window lets users reach the same destination by entering a key word, slogan, or product barcode number.
