Haven't managed to catch the Skunk Fu shows on BBC1 yet (15:50) will have to wait until Saturday where they are being shown on CBBC at 17:00.
Trust GON to put out an EGM at this time!!!!!!!
If the EGM turns out positive then the SP should fly as I think the EGM has cast a shadow over errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......................everything-lol.
If the EGM results in bad news then obviously down we go!

Galleon Holdings PLC
12 July 2007
Galleon Holdings plc (the 'Company' or 'Galleon')
Placing of Shares, Announcement of Discussions with Chinese Broadcasters & Total
Voting Rights
12 July 2007
Galleon today announces that it has raised funds for the Company of 2,000,000
(before expenses) via a placing ('the Placing') of 15,384,617 new Ordinary
Shares of 1p each (the 'Placing Shares') at a price of 13p per share. The
Placing Shares have been placed with institutional and other investors.
Part of the proceeds of the Placing will be used to invest further in Galleon's
Product IP division, Croco, which is enjoying a significant growth in orders and
requires additional funding in order to meet the anticipated new levels of
demand. In addition, the proceeds of the Placing will be used to fund the
further development of the Company's Entertainment Division's properties, in
particular Apollo's Pad (the music-meets-comedy property targeted at 16-24 year
olds produced in conjunction with Sony BMG).
The Company also announces that it is in discussions with two major Chinese
broadcasters, Hunan ETV and Guangdong TV, whose combined audiences are
understood to total c. 150 million viewers, for two new live entertainment
properties created and owned by Galleon. The Company will provide a further
update on the progress of these discussions when appropriate. Galleon is further
pleased to note that Skunk fu!, one of its animated entertainment properties, is
being aired earlier than expected on the BBC. It commenced broadcast on 9th July
and is currently scheduled to be shown on weekdays at 3.50pm on BBC1 and
Saturdays and Sundays on CBBC at 5.00pm.
The Placing is being made on a non-pre-emptive basis as the time and costs
associated with a pre-emptive offer are considered by the board of Galleon to be
excessive and not in the interests of the Company at this time.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to
be admitted to trading on AIM. The Placing Shares are expected to be admitted to
AIM and to commence trading at 08.00 a.m. on 17 July 2007.
Total Voting Rights
Following the Placing the Company's issued share capital consists of 64,823,959
ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p per share, with voting rights (one
vote per ordinary share). The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in
Treasury.
Therefore, the total number of ordinary shares in the Company with voting rights
is 64,823,959. The figure of 64,823,959 ordinary shares may be used by
shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will
determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their
interest in, the Company under the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules.
Interests of Directors following the Placing
The Directors' interests in the Company following the Placing are as follows:
Director Number of Shares Percentage of Enlarged Share Capital
Stephen Green 550,000 0.85%
Leonard Dunne 550,000 0.85%
Pritesh Desai 60,000 0.09%
David Wong is a director of Imagination Holdings Limited which holds 14,542,409
shares in the Company representing approximately 22.43 per cent. of the
Company's enlarged share capital.

('Galleon' or the 'Company')
Galleon Enters into Retail Agreement for 'Blasterz' Product
Galleon Holdings plc announces that it has licensed to Topps, a leading global
creator and marketer of sports and related cards, entertainment products and
distinctive confectionery, the rights to market and distribute Galleon's wholly
owned 'Blasterz' IP in the UK, France, Germany and Italy through retail
channels.
'Blasterz' is a unique patented collectible, created by Galleon and proven to be
a success in multiple markets. Galleon continues to supply fast moving consumer
goods companies, such as Pepsico, with 'Blasterz' for use as a promotional
premium. It has proved so successful that, to date, 175 million 'Blasterz' have

This is the first retail deal for 'Blasterz' and the Directors believe that
there is sufficient evidence to suggest that it has tremendous potential in the
retail market.

'Retail is another new sales channel for our product IP Division. It is very
exciting to have entered into this marketplace with one of the world's leading
distributors of 'pocket-money' entertainment products. Naturally, the value of
the deals will depend upon the popularity of the product but, in Topps, we
undoubtedly have the right customer to maximise its potential.'
