Anthony Matchett, CEO of EVR Holdings, said: "We're pleased to announce an agreement with ARESA GmbH, which represent BMG Rights Management in Europe ("BMG"). BMG, is one of the world's most prominent music rights holders and represents a vast repertoire of works from some of the music industry's most recognisable names. Over the last three years, MelodyVR has worked with 539 well-known artists to create the world's largest library of original VR content. Today's agreement with ARESA further enhances our opportunities for the distribution and monetisation of our vast library of content and further extends our market-leading position as the world's only licensed VR music platform.

With technology companies such as Facebook, Google, HTC, Samsung, Sony PlayStation and Microsoft all marketing competing VR hardware, we expect to see consumer adoption of VR devices grow significantly in the run-up to Christmas 2017 and beyond. As more devices reach consumers and demand for virtual reality entertainment increases, we remain extremely confident in the global appeal of our content as well in the success of our virtual reality music platform.

With the launch of the MelodyVR platform approaching, we continue to work with our partners such as Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, to create even more ground-breaking VR experiences with their leading rosters of chart-topping artists."
