<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On August 11, 2005,
Tucows Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), entered into an
underwriting agreement (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;) among the Company,
certain selling shareholders named therein (the &#147;Selling Shareholders&#148;), and
Desjardins Securities Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and

Commissions in each of the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions have been issued
