SportsLine acquired Golf Club Trader, Inc. in exchange for $7 million of SportsLine USA common stock (approximately 200,000 shares). The acquisition will be accounted for under the "pooling-of-interests" method. Golf Club Trader will be integrated into SportsLine's wholly-owned subsidiary, International Golf Outlet (IGO), creating a comprehensive online golf marketplace where users can buy, sell or trade new and used golf equipment.

Golf consumers visiting SportsLine's e-commerce areas at IGO and The Sports Store (www.thesportsstore.com) will now be able to purchase new high-end, name brand golf clubs and receive a 30-day buy-back guarantee, in the form of a store credit for approximately 80-90% of the original transaction value of returned golf equipment. Additionally, consumers can receive credit for certain used club trade-ins toward the purchase of new golf clubs in IGO and The Sports Store, or Golf Club Trader will purchase certain used clubs for cash. Golf Club Trader enables SportsLine to offer used and returned clubs for purchase, sale or trade to a secondary golf club market. Golf Club Trader also acquires, at market prices it establishes, used clubs for resale from leading golf retailers and more than 1,500 golf pro shops around the country.

Since SportsLine acquired IGO a year ago, SportsLine's golf revenues have increased more than 400% due in large part to the promotional and distribution synergies between IGO and SportsLine's golf content area, GolfWeb. Later this month, SportsLine will begin co-producing PGATOUR.COM creating additional opportunities for cross-promotion to golf enthusiasts, and new e-commerce initiatives through the PGA TOUR shop.

"The addition of Golf Club Trader to the SportsLine family provides our e-commerce business with a compelling differentiation over other online golf retailers by allowing us to offer a buy-back guarantee on select name brand golf clubs," said Michael Levy, president and CEO of SportsLine USA. "With the content, commerce and community we offer through pgatour.com, GolfWeb, IGO and now Golf Club Trader, SportsLine is clearly the online leader in golf."

Chihoe Hahn, the founder and CEO of Golf Club Trader will be responsible for developing IGO's secondary club market strategy, under David Schofman, Director of Golf Merchandising. Golf Club Trader will move from Santa Clara, California to Austin, Texas, to co-locate its operations with IGO.
