Bridges.com Inc. Announces Share Purchase Incentive Program

June 11, 2001

Bridges.com Inc. (TSE:BIT), North America's leading provider of career and educational planning solutions announces that its Board of Directors has approved a Share Purchase Incentive Program ("Incentive Program") for senior officers.

Under the terms of this Incentive Program the Corporation would loan a maximum aggregate amount of $750,000 (Can) to certain senior officers who do not currently have a significant equity stake in the Corporation and who are considered key to achieving the Corporation's longer-term objectives, to enable them to acquire common shares of the Corporation.

The loans would have maximum term of five (5) years and would bear interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum payable annually on December 31. Security for the loan would consist of a pledge of the common shares acquired under the loan plus a promissory note in an amount equal to 50% of the value of the pledged common shares at the time the loan is called.

Bridges is a publicly traded company on The Toronto Stock Exchange and as such this Incentive Program is subject to regulatory approval. Upon approval of this Incentive Program by the Toronto Stock Exchange, Canaccord Capital Corporation, Vancouver, will be assigned to broker the share purchase transaction.
