CIC Closes Bridge Financing

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification, announced today that it had closed a new round of funding with a number of existing, as well as new, investors to provide working capital.

The financing totaled $1 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of unsecured promissory notes and warrants to purchase five million shares of common stock at a price of $0.05 per share. The transaction closed on April 23, 2012, and is in addition to the $1 million in notes and warrants raised by the Company in September and December 2011. The notes will automatically convert into CIC's next round of equity financing.

"This additional round of financing reflects our investors' ongoing support of CIC and represents a continued vote of confidence in the steady progress shown by the Company since the management transition in late 2010," stated Philip Sassower, CIC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are also pleased to welcome a number of new investors in our effort to expand the Company's shareholder base. In an attempt to prevent excessive dilution and to optimize the timing of our next round of equity funding, we decided to delay a next equity round and plan to issue a new class of preferred in conjunction with the Company's annual shareholder meeting."

"These funds enable CIC to continue on its path of high-leverage technology investments in support of SaaS revenue streams," stated William Keiper, CIC's President and Chief Operating Officer. "We will continue to develop and deliver the high security, enterprise-level electronic signature solutions required by major insurance carriers and financial institutions. We have made solid gains over the past year and anticipate more progress in the remainder of 2012."
