Galleon Holdings plc (AIM: GON), the AIM listed entertainment media company
developing and producing multi-platform properties with a focus on emerging
markets, is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract with IMG
Entertainment, the premiere global sport and entertainment company, to exploit
Galleon's wholly owned property Super Soccer Star in Eastern Europe and
Scandinavia.
Under the terms of the agreement IMG Entertainment has the rights to the Super
Soccer Star format in Russia, CIS (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan,

Eastern Europe (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia,

Produced in association with Chelsea Football Club, Super Soccer Star is a

territories are ongoing.
Commenting on the agreement, Stephen Green, CEO of Galleon Holdings, said:
"IMG is a leading global media operator and we are delighted to be working with
them in rolling out Super Soccer Star to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. This
deal along with our recent territory deals in Vietnam, India and the Middle East
demonstrates the global appeal of our multiplatform approach."
Mark Young, SVP of IMG Entertainment, added:
"We are excited about working on Super Soccer Star with Galleon and our
infrastructure, ability and know how will enable us to successfully exploit this
proven multi-channel property across these territories."

The great GON news met with massive indifference

hmmmmmmm
Great news that is what the mighty investor has been waiting for
sadly the MMs didn't even think it was worth a speculative raise of the bid at the open
but
it was worth some minor selling
