Press ReleaseClairMail Wins Red Herring 100 Global AwardNOVATO, CALIF., December 11, 2007 — ClairMail, Inc., the leader in 2–way mobile phone–based customer interaction, announced today that it has been selected as a winner of the Red Herring 100 Global Award. Red Herring 100 winners and finalists from North America, Europe and Asia from the last three years were eligible for this award. The Red Herring editorial team used a very competitive process to whittle down this pool of 1800 eligible promising companies to the 100 winners of this first–time award. Evaluations were made on both quantitative and qualitative criteria such as financial performance, innovation, management, global strategy and ecosystem integration. "Being selected as a Red Herring 100 Global company is a testament to ClairMail's innovative approach to mobile banking, global industry leadership and customer success," said Joseph Salesky, CEO of ClairMail. "As the mobile banking industry experiences rapid growth, ClairMail continues to lead the charge for massive adoption from financial institutions."

The ClairMail System utilizes the software already built into virtually every mobile phone and provides financial institutions with a broad offering of mobile banking and payment services on one platform with a single implementation. The winning companies were announced and celebrated at the Red Herring Global event in Seattle, WA, on December 3–5.
