New Admiral Team License

Embargoed: 0700 Friday 27th October 2006 INTERNATIONAL BRAND LICENSING PLC ANNOUNCES NEW ADMIRAL TEAM LICENSEE FOR UK AND REPUBLIC OF IRELAND International Brand Licensing Plc ("IBL") announces that it has signed a license agreement with Tenzero Ltd for the UK and Ireland for the categories of Team Sports Clothing and Equipment. The six year agreement has minimum guaranteed royalties of £189,000 during the term of the contract. IBL Chief Executive, Tony Hutchinson, comments: "We are very pleased to have signed an agreement with Tenzero, a newly formed division of Sondico UK. The Tenzero principals have a wealth of experience in the performance categories and first class relationships in the sports retail sector of both the UK and Ireland. Launching in spring 2007 we look forward to seeing Admiral football and cricket kits once again gracing the parks and playing fields around the country. This announcement underlines the strategic transition of Admiral's distribution in the UK. Combined with recent agreements announced with ASDA and Rajan Group Plc, the Tenzero agreement realigns Admiral into a multi category/sector brand as opposed to operating a traditional single distribution model. As a consequence of the strategic transition, we are receiving minimum guarantees, demonstrating a growing confidence in the Admiral brand in the UK market. Discussions with other potential partners for additional categories should result in the further strengthening of Admiral in the future." Admiral is the exclusive kit supplier to the England & Wales Cricket Boards as well as Leeds United Football Club.
