Pulse Data announces record Q3, 2007 cash data library sales and increases annual dividend by 33% to $0.20 per common share CALGARY, Sep. 21, 2007 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) -- TSX: PSD Pulse Data Inc. ("Pulse" or the "Company") announces record Q3, 2007 cash data library sales and strong Q3, 2007 total seismic revenues. As at September 21, 2007, Pulse has posted Q3 cash data library sales of $8.7 million, surpassing the Q3 record of $8.6 million set in 2005. The Company will set record cash data library sales for 3 consecutive quarters. Pulse also expects Q3, 2007 total seismic revenues of at least $10.5 million, which includes an expected partial delivery by September 30, 2007 of a 3D seismic participation survey in the Deep Basin area of west-central Alberta that commenced on July 11, 2007. The financial information contained in this news release is based upon management's estimates only and has not been approved by the Audit Committee or Board of Directors, or reviewed by the Company's auditors. As a result of the increased level of sustainable free cash flow, the Board of Directors of Pulse has approved a 33% increase in the annual dividend rate from $0.15 to $0.20 per common share. Based on Pulse's closing share price on September 21, 2007, this annual dividend provides an effective yield of 6.5%. This is the 3rd increase in the dividend since Pulse commenced paying a dividend in 2003. Pulse expects to declare the next regular quarterly dividend, the eighteenth consecutive, in conjunction with the release of its Q3, 2007 results on November 8, 2007. Douglas Cutts, President & CEO commented, "We are extremely pleased with our sales efforts at a time when oil and gas service companies are under extreme pressure as a result of depressed natural gas prices. Going forward, the board and management are committed to our strategic business plan as a pure seismic data library business. The 33% increase in our dividend is an indication of the confidence we have in this plan." On September 5, 2007 Pulse announced that it had signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell the assets of its Terrapoint business unit to a management-led group of Terrapoint. The letter of intent provided an exclusive period for negotiations until September 17, 2007. Although the exclusive period for negotiations has expired, Pulse continues to work with the purchaser, and the Company continues to work towards a binding transaction by the end of September, 2007. The Company emphasizes that any shareholders that tender their shares to the extended Seitel Inc. ("Seitel") offer of $3.0625 per share (after deducting the regular quarterly dividend of $0.0375 per share paid on September 20, 2007) will not receive the benefit of the record Q3, 2007 cash data library sales, the increase in the annual dividend rate, or the continued commitment of Pulse to focus its strategic business plan on the seismic data library business. Pulse recommends that shareholders reject the extended Seitel offer, and that any shareholders that have tendered their shares to the extended Seitel offer withdraw them.
