PRESS RELEASE

On July 16, 2007, Copernic Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, with regard to the preliminary approval of the proposed settlement of the consolidated securities class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which was previously announced on March 8, 2007, the Court has approved the proposed settlement following a hearing on July 9, 2007. As a result, all claims asserted in the class action against the Company and individual officer defendants have been resolved, with the exception of three shareholders who have indicated they will exclude themselves from the settlement so as to preserve rights to maintain separate actions should they elect to do so. According to the press release, the amount paid into escrow, along with any interest earned, will be distributed as provided under the settlement to pay class members, plaintiffs’ attorney fees, and the costs of claims administration. The Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
