MCF CORPORATION AUTHORIZES STOCK BUY-BACK PLAN

San Francisco - February 26, 2008 - MCF Corporation (NASDAQ: MERR) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase plan to buy back up to one million shares within a two-year period. The company will use its working capital to fund the plan.

“Given the strength of our balance sheet and our stock trading at a significant discount to our peer group, we believe that a share repurchase is a good use of our cash,” said Jon Merriman, chief executive officer of MCF Corporation. “The commitment to buy back up to eight percent of our current shares outstanding combined with ongoing insider buying demonstrates our confidence in the long-term growth prospects of the company.”

Over the past six months, Chairman John Thompson, CEO Jon Merriman, and three other insiders have purchased 90,000 shares in the open market.

The Board has authorized the repurchase of stock in the open market in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The repurchase plan’s terms have been structured to comply with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and extent of the repurchase will depend upon market conditions and the plan does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time.
