EIGER TO DIVEST NEWLOOK SUBSIDIARY

Toronto - February 21, 2007 - Eiger Technology, Inc. ("Eiger") (TSX: AXA OTCBB: ETIFF) would like to advise shareholders that it has agreed to divest itself of its ownership in Newlook Industries Corp. to a group of independent business people. Eiger will also be looking towards this strategy with its ownership in Racino Royale.
 
This divestiture will enable Eiger to focus solely on its acquisition strategy as well as to ensure meeting its capital requirements. It is projected that the Newlook divestiture will enhance Eiger’s treasury by an estimated $2 million.

With the announcement of Mr. Gerald Merovitz as its new Chief Executive Officer, Newlook will be moving forward with its acquisition strategy to create shareholder value.

Eiger believes that the abovementioned strategies will enhance shareholder value for all companies involved. These transactions are subject to all regulatory body approvals.
