PhoneGuard, Inc., a subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: OPMG) (PINKSHEETS: OPMG) and a provider of mobile applications, today announces that Chairman, Keith St. Clair, joined dozens of executives from government agencies, major corporations and non-profit agencies from across the country to participate in the National Organizations for Youth Safety's (NOYS) 2011 National Teen Distracted Driving Summit. The event, which was sponsored by AT&T and the Allstate Insurance Foundation, included presentations from key national leaders from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Mr. St. Clair participated on a panel hosted by Celeste McCray of the Federal Communications Commission. Personal messages to the summit were delivered via video from two-time Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Justin Bieber and from Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, both of whom thanked those in attendance.

"The dangers of distracted driving are an issue for all of us, but particularly for younger drivers," commented Mr. St. Clair. "While 20% of all injury crashes involve reports of distracted driving, the age group with the greatest portion of distracted drivers is the under 20 age group. It is a saddening statistic, but 16% of all fatal crashes involving drivers under 20 years old were reported to be related to distracted driving. One of our major goals of PhoneGuard is to reverse these disturbing statistics through the use of our products. The National Distracted Teen Driving Summit is an important event as it is attended by not only government policymakers, but also by leading executives from the private sector. Working together we can do something about this problem and this message clearly permeated this summit."

The recently announced PhoneGuard product offerings position the Company at the intersection of safety and connectivity by disabling texting, emailing and keyboard functions of a mobile phone while in a vehicle moving faster than 10 miles per hour, empowering drivers to take responsibility for personal security and safe driving, while providing a host of additional safety and connectivity related benefits.

Mr. St. Clair continued, "We welcome the efforts of the National Organizations for Youth Safety and all of the attendees at this summit. This is a very important topic and one we take very seriously at PhoneGuard. We are highly committed to advancing this cause through our continued product development and our ongoing efforts to support the Remember Alex Brown Foundation, organized by the family of teenager Alex Brown who tragically lost her life because of texting and driving."

The new PhoneGuard application targets teens that are looking to stay safe while always ensuring they stay connected to their friends and family. The application includes Text Block, Custom Auto-Reply, Admin Override and Panic Button. PhoneGuard Family enables parents to play an active role in their family's safety by protecting them on and off the road with features such as Text Block, Custom Auto-Reply, Admin Override, Panic Button, Speed Control, Admin Control, Request Permission and Remember Passcode. PhoneGuard Family Pro includes the same features as PhoneGuard Family, plus Web Portal, Geo-Fencing, Custom Timeout and Real-Time Tracking/Locator function, which uses GPS to locate a missing phone in real time.
