BSM Big Stick Media Corp

Big Stick Media Corporation (TSX VENTURE:BSM) ("BSM" or the "Company") announced
today that ten (10) of its shareholders (the "Buying Group"), holding an
aggregate of 9,980,441 of BSM's common shares, representing approximately 41.60%
of all of BSM's issued and outstanding shares (the "Common Shares"), have
entered into an agreement with BSM to acquire all of the outstanding Common
Shares not held directly, or indirectly, by the Buying Group at a price of $0.10
cash per Common Share. 


The acquisition price of $0.10 per Common Share represents a 54% premium over
the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX
Venture Exchange for the twenty (20) trading days ended on May 19, 2010, the
last trading date prior to the announcement of the proposed going private
transaction. The acquisition price also represents a 47% premium over the
mid-point of the valuation range established by the independent valuator
retained by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of BSM. 


On March 26, 2010, the Board of Directors of BSM established a Special Committee
comprised of its independent directors, namely Messrs. Cam DiGiorgio and
Jonathan Moss, to consider the proposed going-private transaction. On April 12,
2010 the Special Committee formally engaged RSM Richter Inc. (the "Valuator") to
prepare a formal valuation of the Common Shares and to provide a fairness
opinion with respect to the proposed going-private transaction. The Valuator
established a valuation range of $0.060 to $0.076 per Common Share. The Special
Committee and the Board of Directors have received an opinion from the Valuator
that the acquisition price of $0.10 per Common Share is fair, from a financial
point of view, to those BSM shareholders that are not among the Buying Group.
Copies of the formal valuation and the fairness opinion of the Valuator will be
included in the management information circular that will be sent to BSM
shareholders in connection with the annual and special meeting to consider the
proposed going private transaction. 


The Special Committee has unanimously recommended that BSM's Board of Directors
approve the proposed going-private transaction and that the Board recommend that
shareholders vote in favor of the proposed going-private transaction. The Board
of Directors of BSM has unanimously approved, and recommends that shareholders
vote in favor of, the proposed going-private transaction. The transaction is
expected to close in July, 2010. 


The going-private transaction will be effected by way of an amalgamation between
BSM and a newly-created corporation which is wholly-owned by the Buying Group.
For the amalgamation to proceed, the special resolution authorizing the
amalgamation must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by BSM
shareholders at the shareholders' meeting called to consider the proposed
transaction. In addition, the amalgamation must also be approved by a majority
of the votes cast at the shareholders' meeting by those BSM shareholders that
are not among the Buying Group. It is anticipated that the shareholders' meeting
will be held in early July, 2010. Full details of the going-private transaction
will be contained in a management information circular to be mailed to BSM's
shareholders. Completion of the going private transaction is also subject to
regulatory approval. 


Members of the Buying Group (with their respective corresponding controlling
shareholders in parentheses) are BMX Entertainment S.A. (Karen Molnar),
Suplitodo S.A. (Pedro Mesen), CVR Investments Ltd. (Jonathan Salazar), SGR
Investments Ltd. (Rattia Ouares), Townson Holdings Ltd. (Marianelle Zeledon
Segura), Quality Investments S.A. (Karen Molnar), Distribuidora Gravot S.A.
(Andres M. Sanchez), Corporation Guiya S.A. (Ramses Owens), Clarence Gary Austin
