Tottenham Hotspur PLC 15 May 2006 15 May 2006 Tottenham Hotspur plc ('Tottenham Hotspur') Tottenham Hotspur and Mansion Agree Record Breaking 4 Year Agreement Tottenham Hotspur announces that it has agreed a club record shirt sponsorship and partnership with MANSION, the international gaming and entertainment group. Tottenham Hotspur's agreement with MANSION becomes effective on 1 July 2006 and is worth a minimum of £34.0 million over the 4 seasons from 2006/7 to 2009/10 making it one of the ten largest club shirt sponsorship agreements in the world. MANSION will partner Tottenham Hotspur across a wide range of commercial activities including the extension and expansion of the Club's brand into key territories across Asia and other important international markets, the development of an international supporters' club to support the brand, significant support for the Club's work with adults in the community in the UK and overseas, a co-branded internet gaming site with shared revenues, and other special commercial projects that may be of mutual interest and benefit to both Tottenham Hotspur and MANSION. At the launch of Tottenham Hotspur's new Puma playing kit, scheduled for July 2006, MANSION will become only the fourth brand ever to appear on the Spurs shirt in the 25 years since sponsors were first permitted. Daniel Levy, Chairman, Tottenham Hotspur plc, said: 'Tottenham Hotspur has made progress both on and off the pitch in recent years which has put the Club in a good position to improve its commercial partnerships and the new agreement marks a significant uplift. We also share similar ambitions with MANSION to grow and extend our respective brands in many of the world's key and developing economies and we have already discussed ideas on how we might achieve this by working together. We are excited about working with MANSION and keen to accelerate the international development of our Club.' David Kinsman, Chief Operating Officer, MANSION, said: 'We are investing considerably in the development of our brand and we have been looking to secure a major Premier League deal for some time. Tottenham Hotspur has a long and successful history, great traditions and a wonderful brand, both in the UK and internationally. Spurs have enjoyed an excellent season with European football to look forward to next year. We see this deal as an excellent opportunity to play a major part in the ongoing international development of both the MANSION and Tottenham Hotspur brands over the course of at least the next 4 years.' Notes to Editors MANSION launched its business in September 2004. It has rapidly established a significant global online and land-based entertainment business, including a Sports Exchange, a Sportsbook and Poker, Casino and hotel operations. Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed its best ever FA Premiership finish in 2005/6 and in the 2006/07 season it will be playing in a European competition for the first time since 1999.
