<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;line-height:200%;'><font size=2>On September 30, 2009, Judge John Tunheim of the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota ruled on the Cross Summary Judgment Motions by Insignia Systems, Inc. and News America Marketing In-Store (NAM).  The Court denied NAM&#146;s motions to dismiss Insignia&#146;s allegations of monopolization, conspiracy and false advertising against NAM.  In the same Order, the Court granted the motions of Insignia and CEO Scott Drill to dismiss allegations that Insignia had interfered with NAM&#146;s contracts and that Drill and Insignia had disparaged NAM.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;line-height:200%;'><font size=2>By denying NAM&#146;s Motion, the Court has set the stage for a trial on Insignia&#146;s antitrust and unfair-competition claims, which include violations of the Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Acts, the Lanham Act, and those statutes&#146; counterparts in Minnesota state law.  Insignia claims that NAM monopolized markets for in-store advertising, that NAM&#146;s exclusive contracts unreasonably restrained trade, that NAM conspired with others to restrain trade, and that NAM misled consumer goods manufacturers about the quality of Insignia&#146;s services.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;line-height:200%;'><font size=2>In other parts of the order, the Court also granted Insignia&#146;s motion to compel production of material used by NAM&#146;s experts in the separate Valassis litigation against NAM, denied NAM&#146;s request to exclude the testimony of witnesses from the case, and granted NAM&#146;s Motion for Summary Judgment on the issue of whether it possessed market power over retailers.</font></p>
