ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.

On September 7, 2000, GlobalMedia.com (the "Company") and StandardRadio, Inc.
(the "Investor") entered into a Private Placement Subscription Agreement
("Subscription Agreement") which provides for the sale and issuance in two
separate closings of shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock"). In
the first closing pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, which occurred on
September 7, 2000, the Company issued and sold to the Investor, for an aggregate
purchase price of $2,500,100, 1,388,888 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$1.80 per share (the "Offering Price") and a five-year warrant to purchase
277,778 shares of Common Stock (the "Common Stock Warrant") (collectively, the
"First Closing"). The exercise price for the Common Stock Warrant equals the
lesser of (a) $2.25 per share or (b) 125% of the price per share at which
Yorkton Securities Inc. effects a private placement of securities with proceeds
to the Company of at least $7,500,000, if such private placement occurs on or
before December 31, 2000 (the "Yorkton Financing"). The Common Stock and Common
Stock Warrant were sold in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

If the Yorkton Financing occurs and the price per share (the "Yorkton Price") is
less than the Offering Price, then the Offering Price will be adjusted so that
the Investor receives a total number of shares under the Subscription Agreement
equal to the number of shares the Investor would have received if the Offering
Price had equaled the Yorkton Price. In addition, the exercise price of the
Common Stock Warrant will be adjusted as described above.

If the Yorkton Financing occurs, the Subscription Agreement provides for an
additional $2,500,000 investment by the Investor in exchange for the Company's
issuance and sale to the Investor of a number of shares of Common Stock based on
a price per share equal to the lesser of the Offering Price or the Yorkton Price
(the "Second Closing").

As additional consideration for the Investor entering into the Subscription
Agreement, the Company waived all fees and expenses otherwise payable to the
Company by the Investor pursuant to an existing co-marketing agreement between
the parties with respect to the Investor's radio stations for a period of three
years. The waiver of fees is also subject to extension for such period as the
Investor continues to hold 2% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of
the Company.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Common Stock is subject to piggyback
registration rights which allow the Investor to participate in a future
registration statement as a selling shareholder, subject to approval by the
Company's underwriter, if any. The piggyback registration rights do not apply to
registrations relating solely to employee benefit plans or to registrations on
any form that does not permit secondary sales.

In connection with the Subscription Agreement, Michael Metcalfe and the Investor
entered into a Share Purchase Agreement whereby Mr. Metcalfe agreed to sell to
the Investor an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of
$0.02 per share. As of the date of the First Closing, Mr. Metcalfe sold
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the Investor for an aggregate purchase price
of $20,000. If the Second Closing occurs, then Mr. Metcalfe will sell to the

Investor an additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock on terms satisfactory to
both parties.
