DOUBLECLICK ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC CHANGES TO ITS GLOBAL MEDIA BUSINESS
NEW YORK, March 21, 2001 - DoubleClick Inc. (Nasdaq: DCLK), the industry's
leading digital marketing solutions company, today announced fundamental changes
to the way the company is approaching its media business.
In the United States, DoubleClick Media will now offer two distinct Networks,
one will focus on branded sites, and the other on audience reach and targeting.
DoubleClick will now have one media sales force that will sell both of its
Network offerings.
The "DoubleClick Brand Network" will contain sites that are recognized media
brands that have a significant amount of traffic and marketable inventory. This
change will allow sites to receive personalized account management and allow
DoubleClick to better manage the ad inventory.
The "DoubleClick Audience Network" will offer key content specific vertical
categories combined with an emphasis on reach, targeting and optimization, which
allows advertisers the ability to meet both their direct marketing and branding
objectives.
Outside of the United States, DoubleClick`s media structure will not change.
DoubleClick will continue to offer Networks of local content in each country.
"Given today's market conditions, we have determined that this strategy is the
best way to service our Web publishers as well as advertiser clients," said
Barry Salzman, President of Global Media, DoubleClick. "Our goal in this
realignment is to leverage our media sales force more efficiently as well as
improve client service levels with a dedicated senior level team focused on key
sites and advertisers."
In part, due to this restructuring, DoubleClick will be reducing its global
workforce by 10%. The majority of this reduction in headcount will affect its
global media business.

"We are absolutely committed to offering value-added media products to our
clients," continued Salzman. "This new organizational structure gives each media
sales person a more complete set of tools to help meet the online marketing
objectives of traditional advertisers."
DoubleClick expects to end the second quarter of 2001 with 1,850 employees, and
the Media business is expected to be less than 20% of the company's gross profit
in 2001.

For Immediate Release
APTIMUS, INC. ANNOUNCES TENDER OFFER FOR UP TO 10.75
MILLION SHARES AT $0.48 PER SHARE, AN 85% PREMIUM TO
TODAY'S CLOSING PRICE
SEATTLE, August 27, 2001-- Aptimus, Inc. (Nasdaq: APTM), an online direct
marketing network, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a
cash tender offer to purchase up to 10.75 million shares of the Company's common
stock. The purchase price for the tender offer will be $0.48 per share. The
Company currently has approximately 12.64 million fully diluted shares
outstanding. Commencement of the tender offer is expected to occur in early
September 2001 following completion of the required regulatory arrangements. The
Company will fund the share purchase with its existing cash balances and
short-term investments. Due to the possibility of an over-subscription, the
Company's founder and CEO as well as its Board of Directors will be subject to
cut-back limitations on shares they tender, if any, to insure that all other
shares tendered will be purchased.
The decision to offer shareholders the opportunity to sell their shares to the
Company was made following many months of consideration by its Board of
Directors, management and advisors. The Internet economy upon which the Company
originally relied has changed dramatically and with it so has the market value
of the Company's common stock. Over the past several months, the company has
investigated numerous go-forward strategies ranging from evaluating a number of
merger and acquisition opportunities to liquidation. After considerable
evaluation, it was determined that a tender offer made the most sense for the
Company's shareholders, in effect allowing shareholders to choose their own
preferred route for the future.
During this period of evaluation, the Company concluded that its traditional
direct marketer clients were adopting its Internet-based solution. The Company
also concluded that there may be an opportunity for the Company to strengthen
its direct marketing foundation through category consolidation. At the same
time, the Company recognized that clients were slower in adopting its direct
marketing solutions than anticipated and that, combined with the negative impact
to shareholder liquidity of an expected Nasdaq National Market delisting, led to
the decision to let shareholders choose their own path.
{PAGE}
Given the current position of the Company and the industry as a whole, the
Company felt it was at a point in time in its evolution to offer its
shareholders a choice to either sell all or a portion of their share interest in
the Company at a substantial premium to the recent trading value, or to remain
shareholders and participate in what the Company believes, but cannot guarantee,
will be a successful future.
Tim Choate, Aptimus' Chairman and CEO, stated, "The past year has been extremely
challenging. With the changes in the marketplace and our company, along with the
likely delisting of our stock from Nasdaq, we feel that we are at an inflection
point. We continue to believe in the power and efficiency of the Internet
solution we provide to our direct marketing clients. We also hope to pursue
strategic opportunities we believe make sense in today's evolving marketplace.
Yet, we anticipate that some of our shareholders may feel differently. We thus
believe that the best course of action for our shareholders is to offer them
their own choice for the future. Shareholders can choose to either sell their
shares now at a substantial premium or keep them and share in a future that we
continue to believe will be successful. Aptimus was one of the few Internet
companies to aggressively cut costs early to preserve capital. Those efforts now
benefit shareholders who can make their own decisions about the future of online
direct marketing and Aptimus. I believe," concluded Choate, "that marketers will
in time spend major portions of their direct marketing budgets online, creating
a great opportunity for Aptimus. At the same time, I am pleased to provide our
shareholders the choice reflected in the decision announced today."
This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy
or the solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of Aptimus' common stock. The

For Immediate Release
APTIMUS, INC. ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF TENDER OFFER FOR ITS
COMMON STOCK
SEATTLE, WA October 10, 2001-- Aptimus, Inc. (Nasdaq: APTM), today announced
that it has commenced its previously announced tender offer to purchase up to
10,750,000 shares, or approximately 81.5%, of its outstanding common stock. The
Company intends to finance the repurchase from existing cash balances and
short-term investments. Due to the possibility of an over-subscription, the
Company's founder and CEO as well as one member of its Board of Directors who is
also a significant shareholder will be subject to limitations on shares they
tender, if any, to insure that all other shares tendered will be purchased.
"Given the changes in the marketplace and our company, and the limited trading
volume of our stock, we are making this offer to enable those shareholders who
desire liquidity to sell some or all of their shares without the usual
transaction costs associated with open market sales," said Tim Choate, Aptimus'
Chairman and CEO. "The tender offer provides shareholders with a choice of
whether to sell all or a portion of their shares at an 85% premium to the
closing market price for the shares on August 27, 2001, the day the proposed
offer was first announced, subject to the terms and conditions of this offer.
The shareholders who chose not to sell will remain subject to the risks of our
business, of course, but they will also share a proportionately greater stake in
any success we achieve." Concluded Choate, "After the offer is completed, we
expect to have sufficient cash and short-term investments to fund our working
capital and other needs related to current operations for the foreseeable
future. We also expect to continue as a public company and to remain listed on
Nasdaq at least until such time as the market makes a final decision with
respect to its listing requirements."
The Company plans to repurchase up to 10,750,000 shares of its common stock at a
price of $0.48 per share. The closing price of the Company's common stock on
August 27, 2001, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the
proposed tender offer, was $0.26 per share. Shareholders whose shares are
purchased in the offer will be paid the purchase price net in cash, without
interest, after expiration of the offer period.
The Board of Directors of Aptimus, Inc., acting upon the recommendation of an
independent committee of the Board of Directors, has approved the offer.
However, neither the Company nor its Board of Directors is making any
recommendation to shareholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering
their shares. Shareholders must make their own decision as to whether to tender
their shares and, if so, how many shares to tender.
{PAGE}
The tender offer will expire on Monday, November 12, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern
time, unless the Company elects to extend the offer. The offer is subject to
various conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy
or the solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of Aptimus' common stock. The
solicitation of offers to buy Aptimus' common stock will only be made pursuant
to the Offer to Purchase and related materials that the Company will be sending

carefully as they will contain important information including the various terms

APTIMUS ANNOUNCES RESTRUCTURING AND REPOSITIONING AS DIRECT
MARKETING INFRASTRUCTURE PROVIDER
Company delays fourth quarter earnings announcement to March 2 in order to
include revised financial projections for 2001
SEATTLE, Feb. 20, 2001 -- Aptimus today announced that it is repositioning
as a direct marketing infrastructure provider, focusing all its resources on
building its direct marketing network, The Aptimus Network. With this change,
Aptimus will discontinue all activities related to its consumer-direct Web
sites, including FreeShop.com, Desteo.com, and CatalogSite.com, and expects to
transition out of these businesses over the course of the next several months.
Aptimus' belief that the network model is of far greater value to its clients
and has greater growth and profitability potential than its Web site strategy in
today's rapidly evolving Internet advertising marketplace was a principal factor
in the company's decision. "Our network strategy has shown significant promise
since its initial launch last August. During this same period, site-based
advertising products such as banners, boxes and newsletters have suffered. For
Aptimus, this industry- wide problem has made a strategy that includes our site
business difficult to support. We have thus made the decision to phase out our
site business and focus 100 percent of our time, energy and resources on growing
the cost-per-action network products desired by our direct marketing clients,"
said Tim Choate, president and CEO of Aptimus.
The Aptimus Network places marketers' context-based offers in front of
consumers on high-volume Web sites throughout the Internet, enabling marketers
to reach their targeted audiences at the moment of greatest interest. The
network originally launched in August 2000 and quickly grew to over 100,000
orders per day by October. Due to technology challenges related to this rapid
growth, Aptimus pulled the network back and proceeded to identify and acquire a
dynamic offer-serving technology solution with its $2.5 million cash and stock
acquisition of XMarkstheSpot Inc., which was completed in late November.

Aptimus
2-2-2
The acquired technology has now been fully integrated and Aptimus has begun
to rebuild its network momentum. Major online and traditional direct marketers
have expressed great interest in Aptimus' network strategy and technology
solution. The company has signed several large network contracts to date and
anticipates others will follow with the changes being announced today. The
following changes are a part of the repositioning of Aptimus as a direct
marketing infrastructure provider:
- Aptimus has dramatically reduced its staff to approximately 60
employees from 210 at the beginning of the year.
- Aptimus has also significantly reduced other expenses related to its
Web site business, including online advertising expenses. The Company
anticipates that these reductions, combined with the staffing changes,
will lead Aptimus to have total post-transition core operating costs,
excluding fees to network partners related to network revenues, of
under $3 million per quarter.
- Aptimus has changed its sales strategy from a centralized approach
based in Seattle to a decentralized approach focused on large-scale
clients with strong sales leaders in major markets, including staff
now in place in New York, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Seattle. Aptimus
has recently attracted very strong sales and direct marketing
professionals in these markets, including industry veteran Dave Wilson
in New York, as Vice President, Strategic Solutions, with over 15
years of direct marketing industry experience at American Express,
Citibank, and most recently as President of Traction Interactive, the
interactive division of PIS Worldwide.
This change in strategy will lead to revised financial projections for the
company, including lower revenue and expense expectations. In order to provide
appropriate financial guidance for 2001 related to these changes, Aptimus is
delaying its fourth quarter earnings release call to next Friday, March 2 at
2:00PM. During the earnings call, the Company will share additional information
about its strategy going forward. The Company continues to expect to achieve
profitability this year, helped by this change in strategy that focuses all
resources around a more profitable and scalable approach to growing its
business. The Company also believes that it continues to have enough capital to
achieve its goals. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had $25 million in cash
and cash equivalents, with fourth quarter cash uses including its acquisition of
XMarkstheSpot, continuation of its share buyback program, and operating
expenses.

Exhibit 99.1
Invitrogen Announces $400 Million Offering Of Convertible Subordinated Notes
SAN DIEGO, CA, December 5, 2001Invitrogen Corporation (NASDAQ: IVGN), a leading supplier of molecular biology tools and cell culture products, today announced its intention, subject to market and other conditions, to offer approximately $400,000,000 in Convertible Subordinated Notes ($500 million if an option for an additional $100 million is exercised in full). Invitrogen intends to use the proceeds from the Convertible Note offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including research and development, and potential acquisitions.
Invitrogen has granted the initial purchasers of the convertible notes an option to purchase up to an additional $100 million principal amount of notes to cover over-allotments, if any, within 30 days of the initial offering.
The offering is being made only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. The notes, due in 2006, will be convertible into shares of Invitrogen's common stock. The convertible notes will accrue interest that will be payable semiannually. Both the interest rate on the convertible notes and the conversion price will be determined at pricing of the offering, which is expected at the close of business today.
Neither the convertible notes nor the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, many not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws. This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities.
