Captaris Announces Summary Judgment Dismissal of Telephone Consumer Protection Act Lawsuit

Bellevue, Wash., October 3, 2006 — Captaris, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAPA), a leading provider of software products that automate document-centric business processes, today announced that the Circuit Court in Cook County, Illinois has granted summary judgment in favor of Captaris.

The summary judgment ruling will result in the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by Travel 100 Group, Inc. in July 29, 2003 against Mediterranean Shipping Company alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Captaris and its subsidiary MediaTel were brought into the litigation because MediaTel sent faxes to Travel 100 on behalf of Mediterranean Shipping Company. In granting summary judgment, the Court ruled that Travel 100 had invited the facsimile advertisements and there was no violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The plaintiff will have thirty days after the entry of final judgment to appeal.
