Canton, MA, March 3, 2008

Computershare Ltd. (ASX:CPU) announced today its continued international expansion of IML, a Computershare company, with the acquisition of Machine Dreams Inc's business. Under terms of the deal, Computershare will acquire the majority of the assets of Machine Dreams, an audience response specialist and IML distributor. IML is a leading global supplier of audience response systems, which brings sophisticated interactive communications and data capture to live events and meetings.

Machine Dreams - based in Minneapolis and New York - specializes in cutting-edge audience response systems, audio-visual and event-related multimedia technology. The Machine Dreams business is the most recent expansion for IML, following the acquisitions over the last three months of two other leading providers of audience response services - Ezicomms in Australia and Four Points in Belgium.

"In addition to its team of product experts on the ground in the US, Machine Dreams has impressive research and development resources that will enhance the audience response solution's offering for IML's clients worldwide", said Richard Taylor, CEO, IML. "This acquisition expands IML's client base and the market opportunity for our award-winning Communicator keypad and audience response technology."

IML's audience response system is an easy to use, wireless keypad system that ensures audiences remain involved and actively participating throughout conferences and events.

Proven 100% secure, accurate and reliable, IML's audience response system instantly polls audience responses, delivering rapid results that can be displayed live to an audience immediately. Additionally, the Communicator keypad enables an audience to send text messages and vote during interactive PowerPoint® presentations. The interactive keypads even include a built-in microphone for more convenient Q&A sessions.
