MOSAID Declares Quarterly Dividend of $0.25 Per Share and Announces Intention to Make Normal Course Issuer Bid

OTTAWA, Ontario, Canada – June 22, 2006 - MOSAID Technologies Incorporated (TSX: MSD) today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share. The dividend is payable on July 20, 2006 to shareholders of record as of July 4, 2006.

MOSAID also announced its intention to make a normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange, subject to regulatory approval. Under the normal course issuer bid, MOSAID would be entitled to purchase up to 450,000 common shares, representing approximately 4% of the 11,324,468 common shares issued and outstanding. The issuer bid as scheduled would commence on June 28, 2006 and would not extend beyond June 27, 2007. In no event would MOSAID, in any given 30 day period, purchase more than 2% of the common shares issued and outstanding at the commencement of this issuer bid.

Any MOSAID share purchases associated with the issuer bid will be made on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the purchased shares will be cancelled. Since all purchases of common shares associated with the issuer bid will be made in the open market, MOSAID is not in a position to know the identity of those from whom it may purchase common shares. To MOSAID's knowledge and to the knowledge of MOSAID's directors and officers, after reasonable inquiry, none of MOSAID's directors or senior officers or any associate of such persons nor any person acting jointly or in concert with MOSAID nor any person holding 10% or more of the common shares currently intends to sell common shares to MOSAID during the course of the issuer bid.

MOSAID believes that any purchase of its outstanding common shares is an investment opportunity and an appropriate use of the funds.

MOSAID purchased 402,100 common shares under a normal course issuer bid between June 28, 2005 and June 22, 2006 for an average price of $24.86 per common share.
