Placing of New Ordinary Shares

The Board of Directors of the Company is pleased to announce that, at a general meeting of the Company held on 28 February 2011, the Shareholders of the Company unanimously passed a Resolution approving the issuance of 45,271,186 new ordinary shares of 1 penny each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 2.95 pence per share ("the Placing"), thereby raising £1,335,500 of new equity capital before expenses.  The Ordinary Shares that are the subject of the Placing will be admitted to trading on AIM with effect from 4 March 2011.

The net proceeds raised through the Placing will be used to provide additional working capital for the Company to fund the continued development and launch of SocialGO^(TM) version 2, which in the Directors' opinion will significantly move the business forward.

Issue of Ordinary Share to First Columbus LLC

The company issued 598,802 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 3.34p to First Columbus LLC in settlement of annual broker fees.  Application has been made for the 598,802 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on 4 March 2011.

Issue of Ordinary Shares to the vendors of GOWIT

As was announced by the Company on 24 December 2009 the vendors of GOWIT, including two SocialGO plc Directors, are entitled to awards of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the acquisition of GOWIT by the Company. In each case the issue of the shares which are the subject of the award is conditional upon the Directors continuing in the employment of the Company for a pre-determined period of time. The period of time of continuing employment in respect of which some of the Ordinary Shares were to be granted has now elapsed and consequently a total of 5,883,333 Ordinary Shares have now vested in favour of the vendors of Gowit, 5,219,298 of which have now vested in favour of SocialGO Directors under these awards as follows:

Following this award, Mr Halliday now holds 19,755,590 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 4.44% of the enlarged issued share capital.

Following this award, Mr Hardman now holds 18,257,342 Ordinary Shares in the Company, representing 4.10% of the issued share capital.

As a result of the award application has been made for the admission of 5,883,333 Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. Trading is expected to occur on 4 March 2012.
