About Zero-Knowledge
http://www.zeroknowledge.com

The Company:
Founded in 1997, Zero-Knowledge® Systems, Inc. provides the technologies
that enable communication and commerce to thrive in a privacy-conscious
climate. Combining industry-leading technologies, expert policy analysis,
and informed business strategy, Zero-Knowledge delivers robust
privacy-enabling services and technologies for both consumers and business.

The company has become the privacy leader, and built the most respected
privacy brand in the world, by taking a holistic approach to the privacy
problem in the digital age. Its privacy policy, technology and business
expertise is unmatched and the company's enterprise and consumer products
set the industry standard.

For enterprise customers, Zero-Knowledge builds systems that ensure business
objectives are met while handling personal information in a responsible and
secure manner. Its Privacy Rights Management (PRM) Platform is a
customizable technology for all companies - from the Fortune 500 who are
dealing with complex business issues to smaller start-up companies with less
complex demands.  Zero-Knowledge's enterprise privacy platform can
accommodate varying levels of privacy needs (from legal compliance to
consumer demand to a corporate trust initiative) and provide complete
privacy for data acquisition, data storage and consumer-driven data control
across all industry verticals.

The emerging legislative climate and consumer privacy concerns have made
privacy an essential element to any business. Based on these drivers the
need for the company's solutions is immediate. The enterprise privacy
marketplace is estimated at $40 billion and Zero-Knowledge is focusing its
efforts on key verticals where new privacy legislation is taking effect and
consumer concerns are greatest. Theses include financial services, health
care and online marketing. Currently, the company has a relationship with
PricewaterhouseCoopers and other leading system integrators and channel
partners for both its enterprise and consumer offerings.

For individuals, Zero-Knowledge provides a suite of technologies that
control the disclosure of personal data at its source. The award-winning
Freedom® Internet Privacy Suite protects and secures the privacy and
personal information of Internet users. Unlike other software products that
only address specific online privacy concerns, Freedom® gives users all the
tools needed to simplify and secure their entire Internet experience - from
a set of free standard features, through to a full range of privacy-enhanced
premium services. Freedom reroutes user data through the global Freedom
Network of servers operated by partnering ISPs around the world to provide a
completely private Internet experience.

With research reporting that "92% of consumers are concerned about the
misuse of their personal information online" (Harris Survey, September 2000)
and that "two-thirds of online shoppers feel insecure about exchanging
personal information over the Internet" (Forrester Research, September
2000), Freedom offers consumers a practical solution to their online privacy
concerns. The company is working with channel partners such as OEMs and ISPs
to deliver robust privacy tools and services to individuals and is also
leveraging the Freedom Network to deliver privacy products for both
consumers and business.

Zero-Knowledge continues to develop new products and services for emerging
markets. The company's suite of patents pertaining to privacy-enhanced PKI,
electronic cash and identity credentials are in the process of being
licensed and productized. The company's intellectual property positions it
to design and market the first viable private ecash system allowing for
security/fraud protection against double-spending and money laundering, and
off-line portability via Smart Cards (or other tamper proof devices). The
company is also active in emerging technology areas such as wireless, where
it is working with customers and trade groups to build privacy-enhancing
technologies and services.

Zero-Knowledge's technology, privacy and industry leadership has been
recognized in leading media including The Wall Street Journal, The New York
Times, Red Herring and The San Jose Mercury News as well as on network news
programs like 60 Minutes. Company Co-Founder, Executive Vice President and
Chief Strategy Officer Austin Hill is a widely respected privacy expert and
recently attended the World Economic Forum as a Technology Pioneer.

Launched in Montreal, Zero-Knowledge will relocate its headquarters to the
Silicon Valley area while maintaining its technology center in Canada. The
company currently employs approximately 200 people and recently closed a $22
million third round of financing led by the Reuters Greenhouse Fund. Tamas
Hevizi, formerly a partner and national director at Ernst & Young where,
