SaveDaily Enters Into Financing and Security Agreement for Up to $3,000,000 of Secured Convertible Debt Financing

SEAL BEACH, Calif., Nov. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jeff Mahony, CEO of SaveDaily, Inc. (OTCBB: SAVY), the leading provider of low cost mutual fund investing platforms used by financial institutions, announced that the company entered into a Financing and Security Agreement with EQ Partners LLC , an Ohio based lender, and that the lender has funded an initial tranche of $750,000, before giving effect to fees and other costs. The company executed a secured, convertible Cognovit promissory note that allows for conversion of the note to common stock at a conversion price of $0.37 per share, and by a subsequent financing round funded by the lender, or otherwise by funds available to the company. The company is negotiating terms for up to an additional $2.25 million as may be needed at the discretion of SaveDaily after April 1, 2012.  No assurance can be given that the lender and the company will agree on such terms or that the company will receive any additional funding under the Financing and Security Agreement. The company also issued to the lender a warrant that allows the holder, for a period of five years, to acquire up to 750,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.37 per share on terms that also permit cashless exercise.

"SaveDaily believes that over the last several months we have proven our model. We have grown our assets under management rapidly and we feel it is time to take this company to the next levels of customer expansion and revenue growth," stated Mr. Mahony. "We are confident that with this funding in place we can continue to pursue our operational and revenue goals for the next year. We are seeing strong adoption of our platform by the financial services community, and we expect to utilize these funds to bring more of these partners online, as well as for general corporate purposes."

In the third quarter of 2011, SaveDaily reported that assets under management increased 56% over the last five months, with $126 million under management at September 30, 2011 as compared to $81 million under management at the end of April 2011. The company has recently reported the opening of new distribution channels including banks, credit unions and broker-dealers.

Credit unions, banks and other financial service providers adopting the SaveDaily platform can offer mutual fund investing to their customers at extremely low cost under their own brand. For one low flat monthly charge, investors in these mutual funds can have unlimited positions, unlimited transactions without transaction fees, and no minimum investment requirements.  Eliminating the need for high initial amounts to open an account or requiring ongoing contributions, this unprecedented model provides greater opportunities for average savers to plan and execute their savings goals by allowing them to invest conceivably as little as a penny when and how they want.

According to Steve Durbin, chief executive officer of the lender, "We are excited about our investment in SaveDaily and believe that our capital will allow the company to achieve the next stage in its growth trajectory.  It's rare to find a company that has the potential to alter the investing landscape as dramatically as SaveDaily can through its mutual fund platform, which for the first time truly opens up this investment category to the mass market."

The descriptions of the Financing and its terms, including costs, descriptions of security, warrants to acquire additional securities, and other funding provisions, are outlines which do not purport to be a complete statement of the funding transaction or of the parties' rights and obligations under the Financing Documents. The announcements in this press release of the Financing are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Financing Documents attached  as exhibits to the company's  Report on Form 8-K that is being filed in connection with the Financing .
