Sequoia Media Group Announces Merger Agreement With Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation

Draper, UT (Vocus) December 19, 2007

Sequoia Media Group, LC (“Sequoia”) and Secure Alliance Holdings Corporation (OTC: SAHC.PK) (“Secure”) announced on December 6, 2007 that they entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger”). The Merger has been approved by the Board of Managers and the required number of Sequoia members. The Merger closing expressly requires the circulation of a Proxy Statement to Secure’s stockholders and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Secure. If approved, the subsidiary of Secure would merge into Sequoia which would continue as the surviving entity, and the business operations of Sequoia would become the operations of Secure.

Under the Merger each issued and outstanding Sequoia equity interest will automatically be converted into the right to receive approximately 0.581 shares of Secure common stock, calculated after a 1 for 3 reverse stock split of Secure’s common stock contemplated to be effected prior to the Merger. Following the Merger, Sequoia’s members will own approximately 80% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Secure. Secure currently trades on the Pink Sheets under the symbol “SAHC”. Upon the successful completion of the Merger, Secure will file an application to be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and will continue trading under the symbol “SAHC” until a name change and symbol change are finalized.

Subject to receipt of regulatory approval and prior to the closing of the Merger, Secure intends to form a wholly owned subsidiary and contribute to such subsidiary approximately $ 2.2 million in cash and certain other non-cash assets for the benefit of Secure stockholders as of a date prior to the Merger. It is expected that approximately $ 9.8 million in cash will remain in Secure following the Merger to allow Sequoia to pursue its business objectives.

“A merger with Secure provides us with the cash necessary to pursue our business plans through 2008 and beyond, and with the prospect for public marketplace participation as we forge ahead. We have a great group of owners who have supported us as we developed our aVinci technology and took it to the marketplace, and now others will have the opportunity to participate,” acknowledged Chett B. Paulsen, President of Sequoia.

The President of Secure, Stephen P. Griggs stated, “during the year since the sale of the ATM business, we have carefully considered various opportunities available to Secure to build shareholder value, and we believe Sequoia with its innovative technology and contractual relationships has laid the groundwork to impact the digital media industry. By entering into the merger agreement with Sequoia, Secure’s stockholders will have the chance to join with Sequoia as it works to change the way consumers use images.”

More information regarding the Merger may be found in Secure’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 6th, 2007.

Wyndstorm Corporation Presents Secure Social Networking at National Religious Broadcasters Convention: Premier Digital Media Provider, Wyndstorm Corporation (Booth 629) Introduces Secure Interactive Social Media for Family Value Programming

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) March 10, 2008

    With exponential growth in social networks in all consumer interest groups (over 230 million users as of 2007, Forrester Research), faith-based organizations are actively looking for cost-effective ways to expand their channels to reach, recruit, and retain their congregations and communities. The days of traditional marketing methods are over. To compete and grow strong communities, it is essential to create an online experience where members can share information, connect, and have access to content.

At this conference, Wyndstorm will demonstrate how technology and online marketing dramatically improve results for organizations wanting to build lasting relationships between community members; create strong support communities; and engaged constituents in the market. The Wyndstorm turn-key solution provides community and faith-based organizations with pre-built, proven applications, including social networking, podcasts, profiles, interactive games, 3-D virtual environments, and audio-visual chat. Over 50 user-friendly, fun, and safe features are available for Web-based outreach in religious sectors.

“Having built both start-up and large-scale social platforms, Wyndstorm understands the special needs of the religious and faith-based community. Our end-to-end solution combines the robust power needed to grow a high-traffic site with the ease of use features needed to attract diverse users, whether they be teenagers or senior citizens,” said Marian Sabety, President and CEO of Wyndstorm. “Wyndstorm’s social media environment is tailor-made, affordable, easy-to-manage, and safe. Site security is a priority. Wyndstorm uses effective techniques for keeping members of social networks safe, including ‘fencing’ to keep out site-crashers, and ‘positive identification’ to ensure predators are unable to pose as someone they are not. We can even track keywords in order to moderate the tone of site communications,” said Sabety.

“Today, communication, connectivity, and rich content are vital online considerations for all religious and faith-based organizations,” Sabety continued. “We are thrilled to be a part of this important niche segment event to share ways to enhance a religious community’s strength and presence in their market. We are pleased to present our services and expertise at NRB 2008, a group that respects and supports family value programming.”

Wyndstorm Corporation Rolls Out Virtual 3-D Party Scene for Beta Tests: 3-D Worlds, Avatars Become Backdrop for Kisses, Flirts, Audio-Visual Chats in New Lifestyle Entertainment Platform from Social Media Marketing Company Wyndstorm Corporation

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) March 17, 2008

    “RipLounge illustrates the value of Wyndstorm’s end-to-end solution,” said Marian Sabety, President and CEO of Wyndstorm. “When Stable Media approached us in September 2007 to build an entertainment platform, we offered them program design development, hosting and content management, as well as our online marketing expertise in order to build out their cool online destination where friends can hang-out and have fun together. RipLounge represents a new breed of networks, taking social media solutions to a new level,” Sabety continued.

Unlike other 3-D virtual worlds, RipLounge doesn’t require users to download any software. It provides a target market of 25- to 40-year-old social media users much more than a static profile. Instead, users get a sleek, interactive online experience of free virtual worlds, such as a swanky nightclub, beaches, and yachts, where they can meet, dance, flirt, kiss, hold-hands, and audio-visual chat. Via personalized 3-D animated avatars, users can invite friends to join the interactive social environment. RipLounge will showcase independent music artists, some of whose tracks will be available for download and play back. Advertisers will benefit from the targeted in-scene advertising, as well as the flexible profile-based data, available throughout RipLounge. Over the upcoming months, RipLounge will be expanded with new scenes and additional features for enriched member experiences.

“We are pleased to see the RipLounge project move to production,” said Andrew Stern, co-founder of Stable Media. “This has been a strong collaborative effort. Wyndstorm provided disciplined project development and deep technical expertise to drive this program to success, and we applaud the Wyndstorm team in reaching this key launch moment,” said Stern.

“RipLounge was designed to take social networking to the next level,” said David Abelson, co-founder of Stable Media. “Advertisers can choose how they want to be seen within the community. We’re trying to break away from the typical ad placements that users are not engaging in. We want to follow the lead of television and film in their ability to effectively advertise through product placement and content integration which enhances brand exposure while maintaining the integrity of the user experience,” Abelson added.

RipLounge is scheduled to open its doors April 1 and will debut to digital world at the Ad:Tech San Francisco trade show April 15 to 17.
