Pacific Internet Appoints Financial Adviser to Explore Options to Maximize Shareholder Value

SINGAPORE, March 16, 2006 — Pacific Internet Limited (“PacNet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PCNTF), the largest telco-independent Internet communications service provider in the Asia-Pacific by geographic reach, announces its intent to explore all options to maximize shareholder value. The Board of Directors of PacNet (the “Board”) believes that in addition to evaluating the pre-conditional voluntary general offer by MediaRing Ltd (“MediaRing”), it is in the best interests of all shareholders for the Company to also explore other options to maximize shareholder value.

In this regard, PacNet wishes to announce that the Company has appointed BNP Paribas Peregrine (Singapore) Ltd (“BNP Paribas”) to assist the Board in identifying and evaluating options for maximizing shareholder value. Such options may include seeking suitable strategic or merger partners for the Company, facilitating or soliciting alternative offers, as well as considering any proposals put forth by potential interested parties.

The Company expects to make further announcements after evaluating the recommendations of BNP Paribas, by 31 May 2006.

At this time, PacNet wishes to advise its shareholders to exercise caution in dealing with their shares in the Company or otherwise taking any action in relation to their shares in the Company, which may be prejudicial to their interests.
