Galleon Holdings PLC 
Launch of Super Fashion Stars with IMG 
 
 
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 International Management 
Group ("IMG") as the talent and distribution partner for  the Company's new 
property, Super Fashion Stars. 
 
 
The Super Fashion Stars is a multiplatform entertainment property which 
includes a reality TV show that aims to find the top young fashion designers, 
stylists and models. Successful contestants will gain international exposure at 
the prestigious annual Fashion Fringe event in Covent Garden, London, held every 
September during London Fashion Week. The show will be complemented by online, 
mobile and live events, and is planned to be rolled out to international markets 
during 2010, beginning with China. 
 
 
Under the terms of the agreement Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden, IMG's project 
to discover and promote young fashion talent, will be exclusively attached on a 
global basis to Super Fashion Stars. In addition, IMG Media and Galleon 
Entertainment will be collectively responsible in distributing the format 
globally. 
 
 
IMG is a major driving force behind the global fashion industry. It is the 
world's largest producer of fashion events and one of the top modelling agencies 
representing supermodels including Kate Moss, Heidi Klum and Gisele B?ndchen. 
 
 
 
 
Commenting on the agreement, Stephen Green, CEO of Galleon Holdings, said: 
"This show offers such an exclusive opportunity to aspiring young fashion talent 
and will appeal to such a wide audience that it has the potential to generate 
even greater success than the Super Soccer Star format." 
 
 
 
 
Colin McDowell, Founder and Chairman of Fashion Fringe, added: 
"Fashion Fringe has enjoyed huge success in discovering amazing young fashion 
talent since its inception in 2004.  I am delighted that working alongside 
Galleon and IMG Media we will now be able to attract the best young talent from 
emerging markets to become part of this highly innovative property."

ABOUT GALLEON HOLDINGS 
Galleon Holdings plc creates and distributes multi-platform branded 
entertainment properties focused on the emerging markets, in particular China 
and South East Asia. The entertainment properties are designed to establish a 
direct, interactive relationship with the viewer. 
 
 
Television in China reaches approximately 98% of the population of 1.3 billion. 
Mobile phone penetration is also high, with over 500 million subscribers and 
with over 300 million people online, China is now the largest online market in 
the world.  Huge TV audiences and growing interactive platform access presents a 
substantial opportunity for Galleon to benefit from the popularity and demand 
for interactive entertainment and game shows. China is forecast to become the 
world's fifth largest advertising market. 
 
 
In October 2007 Galleon acquired Phoenix, a Hong Kong based media solutions 
company, which specialises in the provision of interactive broadcast television 
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, 
strengthening the Company's ability to provide Chinese broadcasters with a 
complete media solution for multi-platform entertainment.  Galleon now has total 
control over the interactive content, its delivery to the consumer, data capture 
and the billing process. 
 
 
Galleon develops entertainment formats for children, families and young adults. 
These include: 
  *  Super Soccer Star - an interactive family targeted football talent show, 
  produced in association with Chelsea Football Club. The show has aired 
  successfully in China and Malaysia. Format rights have been sold for Eastern 
  Europe, Scandinavia, Turkey, India, Middle East and Vietnam to partners 
  including IMG and Media Star Global. 
  *  Super Fashion Stars - a multiplatform entertainment property that includes a 
  reality TV show aimed at 16-45 year olds with 60 contestants working together as 
  a designer, stylist and model. Each team is slowly eliminated over the series 
  for the prize of competing at Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden which is a premier 
  event during London Fashion Week. 
  *  Skunk Fu! - a comedy action animated TV show for kids aged 6-11 which airs in 
  100+ territories including Cartoon Network(US), the BBC(UK), Disney Latin 
  America, Cartoon Network Asia and Super RTL(Germany).

  and includes a content rich online offering.

  that combines tactical thinking with fantasy/sci-fi gameplay. 
 
 
 
ABOUT FASHION FRINGE AT COVENT GARDEN 
In 2004, IMG Entertainment and Colin McDowell MBE formed Fashion Fringe, the 
world's premier organisation for the discovery and nurturing of young cutting 
edge fashion talent. Colin, a fashion historian and senior fashion writer for 
the Sunday Times Style Magazine, felt that in order to help British fashion 
regain its place as a powerhouse of cutting edge originality, young talent 
needed to be targeted to make a dynamic fringe event to coincide with London 
Fashion Week. The Fashion Fringe at Covent Garden event has achieved great 
support and acclaim, and creates an exclusive opportunity for aspiring designers 
to make an impression on the global stage.
