August 21, 2003

Bridges.com Inc. (“Bridges” or the “Corporation”) announces that The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted notice filed by the Corporation of its intention to make a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Corporation may, during the 12-month period beginning August 27, 2003 and ending August 26, 2004, purchase on The Toronto Stock Exchange up to a maximum of 630,840 common shares in total, being 5% of the current 12,616,803 common shares issued and outstanding as of July 31, 2003. The actual number of common shares which may be purchased and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Corporation. The Corporation intends to cancel any common shares acquired under the bid.

The Corporation believes that the price of its common shares has declined to a level less than their value relative to the Corporation's assets and future business prospects. As a result, depending on product pricing, future share trading prices and other factors, the Corporation believes that the acquisition of some of its outstanding common shares via the normal course issuer bid represents a desirable use of a portion of the Corporation's discretionary capital.
