FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Announcing the Availability of SmartPlan Enterprise, the World’s First
Interactive Video 401(k) Engagement Engine

Generating Proven Results with Major 401(k) Sponsor and Plan Provider

July 7, 2008 – Aliso Viejo CA – vWise Inc. today announced the general availability of SmartPlan 401, a unique new interactive video-based engagement system that prompts greater participation in company-sponsored investment plans, such as 401(k)s.

"Most employees don’t know how—or why—to invest in a 401(k). And they don’t read the materials designed to explain it. Now companies can provide the critical 401(k) investment information employees need, in a format they will actually use, with SmartPlan 401," commented vWise President Tony Mingo.

"We are very excited at the results so far. New hires informed of the availability of SmartPlan are flocking to it, and our analytics show they are really engaging with it. They are watching short video presentations about their plan, taking a risk profile questionnaire, and even choosing their plan investments and contributions," remarked Dona Helle, Manager, Retirement Plan Administration, Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc.
