Private Media Group Signs Exclusive Content Distribution Deal for Europe

Barcelona, Spain (ots/PRNewswire)

- Title Output on DVD to Increase by 100%
Private Media Group Inc. (Nasdaq: PRVT) a worldwide leader in
premium-quality adult entertainment products, services and Internet
content, today announced the signature of an exclusive three year
Agreement with US-based Pure Play Media, Inc. for content
distribution in Europe.
Under the agreement, Private will distribute around ten newly
produced movie titles per month in Europe, Private's main market for
DVDs. In keeping with Private's record of outstanding product
quality, the content controlled by Pure Play Media features top US
producers and directors such as Michael Ninn, Seymore Butts, and
Cousin Stevie. Private is expecting to start distribution already
this year and be in full operation by January 2005.
Through the agreement, the Company is increasing the output of
DVDs, via its well-established 32 countrywide European distribution
network, from approximately ten titles per month to twenty. The deal
is based on a split and does not require any up-front or future
investment in content by Private.
Richard Arnold, CEO of Pure Play Media, Inc. said, "We are
delighted to be associated through this agreement with an industry
leading name in adult entertainment which will take our products to
an unrivalled base of European customers through its powerful
distribution network".
Berth Milton, President and CEO of Private Media Group, Inc. said,
"Thanks to the group-wide review of the Company's operations and the
subsequent rationalization of our business, we have freed up
additional capacity in the Company and our distribution network. This
agreement, with a complementary publisher of US-produced content, is
only the first step towards capitalizing on the full potential of our
additional capacity and uniquely positioned network.
"Through the cooperation with Pure Play Media, we also expect to
get additional content rights for broadcasting activities which will
enable us to further expand in this area.
"We expect that working together with Pure Play Media will provide
great value to both Private and its shareholders since it clearly
demonstrates a classic example of economies of scale by generating
additional gross profit, with little impact on selling, general and
administrative expenses," Mr. Milton concluded.
