22 January 2013 Papa Entertainment plc ("Papa Entertainment" or the "Company") Contract secured with Las Vegas Hotel for 'Raiding the Rock Vault' Papa Entertainment Plc (ISDX:PAPP), a specialist UK group focused on the music and media industries, is pleased to announce that, following the success of the first 'Raiding the Rock Vault' concert, which was announced on 12 November 2012, the Company has secured a one year contract with the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino ("LVH") (formerly the Hilton), operated by the Navegante Group, to perform the Raiding the Rock Vault concerts in the hotel's Showroom. The first classic rock concert of the Rock Vault project, 'Raiding the Rock Vault', debuted on 29 November 2012 at The Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles and was co-promoted by leading classic rock radio station 95.5 KLOS FM. The one and a half hour long concert narrates the story of classic rock and features songs by The Who, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Free, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Bryan Adams, Van Halen, Deep Purple, Queen, Kiss and The Rolling Stones. Under the terms of the contract, the Raiding the Rock Vault concerts will be performed in the Showroom at the LVH, where for five years Barry Manilow performed his "Ultimate Manilow: the Hits" show. The Showroom seats approximately 1,500 and the hotel has 2,956 rooms and 305 suites in total. The Board is pleased to have secured the original band from the Los Angeles concert to perform in Las Vegas. The contract with LVH is structured so that the Company receives 100% of the net gate fee for the Raiding the Rock Vault concerts. Papa Entertainment will need to pay for the promotion of the concerts and the concerts' running costs. The contract has a 60 day termination clause for either party. At this stage, the Directors intend for the concert's average ticket price to be approximately US$60 (including local taxes and booking fees), which is planned to be increased as the concert becomes more popular. The Directors intend for the band to put on a minimum of five concerts per week. In addition to the considerable capacity of the venue and the anticipated ticket sales, the Board believes that there are significant merchandising and corporate sponsorship opportunities to be explored for the concert at the new venue. In addition, the Company has assembled a rock band named the 'Raiding the Rock Vault' and has recorded 30 cover versions of classic rock tracks from the 1960s to 1980s, some of which will be on sale at the concert in Las Vegas; the Company also intends to record the concert itself for sale at a future date. As previously announced, there is additional potential to run a global touring band which would perform a further 100 concerts over the coming year, in addition to the resident Raiding the Rock Vault concerts in Las Vegas. The Directors intend to confirm the exact date of the first Raiding the Rock Vault concert at the LVH, which is anticipated to be in March of 2013. The Company has established two U.S. incorporated subsidiaries in relation to the Rock Vault Project in the U.S. "Rock Vault Tours LLC" is Papa Entertainment's subsidiary which has entered into the agreement with the LVH. "Rock Vault LLC" is Papa Entertainment's subsidiary established for holding the intellectual property associated with the Rock Vault Project. Rock Vault LLC is also to be the company through which Papa Entertainment intends to conduct its Rock Vault merchandising opportunities. Both Rock Vault Tours LLC and Rock Vault LLC are 100% owned by Papa Entertainment. Further to the announcement made on 4 January 2013, in order for the Company to take advantage of the opportunities associated with the Rock Vault project, additional financing is likely to be required for the operating costs of the Raiding the Rock Vault concerts at the LVH, which may take place through the placing of ordinary shares. Further announcements will be made in relation to this as and when appropriate. Harry Cowell, Chief Executive of Papa Entertainment, commented: "The Board is delighted with the success of the initial Rock Vault concert in Los Angeles, and looks forward to capitalising on the significant potential to take the concert to the LVH where Elvis Presley performed for eight years. The Company is excited about running the concerts at such a renowned music venue, and the Board sees considerable future opportunities for Raiding the Rock Vault."
