* Territory deal for Super Soccer Star in Vietnam
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 three year contract to
grant Cty TNHH Tiep Thi Quoc Te the territory rights to Galleon's property Super
Soccer Star in Vietnam.
Under the terms of the agreement, Galleon will receive a non refundable but
recoupable advance for the new territory with a revenue share of net income.
Super Soccer Star is a multi-platform entertainment property which includes a
prime time reality show to find the best football players between 13 and 16
years old. The show is co-produced in association with Chelsea Football Club
through its digital media arm Chelsea Digital Media.
Cty TNHH Tiep Thi Quoc Te is an entertainment, sports management, and sports
marketing company based in Vietnam. As with previous successful series of Super
Soccer Star in China and Malaysia, online recruitment and TV promotion will be
undertaken in the build up to the show and additional brand sponsors are
expected to be announced in due course. The show generates revenues from mobile
or landline and online voting, sponsorship, advertising and branded merchandise.
Commenting on the agreement, Stephen Green, CEO of Galleon Holdings, said:
"This is yet another milestone for the Group in the roll out of the Super Soccer
Star brand globally. The previous successes of Super Soccer Star have made is
easier to expand into new territories. India and Middle Eastern regions were
signed up last month with Vietnam being the latest in a strong pipeline of new
territory deals."
Nguyen M. Xuan, CEO of Cty TNHH Tiep Thi Quoc Te, added:
"We are very happy to have the opportunity of working with Galleon and Chelsea
FC on this unique multi platform property. We are confident we can replicate in
Vietnam the success that this property has so far achieved in China and
Malaysia."

Mobile phone penetration is also high, with over 450 million subscribers and

services that enable broadcasters in China and South East Asia to provide
interactive entertainment for audiences to access through TV, online and mobile.
In February 2008 Galleon acquired Yunbo, a mobile service provider in China,

complete media solution for multiplatform entertainment. Galleon now has total
control over the interactive content, its delivery to the consumer, data capture
