Sponsorship agreement

Gfinity plc (AIM: GFIN), a leading eSports business, announces that it has signed a sponsorship agreement with HP Inc. ("HP") for an upcoming eSports tournament, featuring the Counter Strike: Global Offensive ("CS:GO") game, taking place within EGX 2016, the UK's largest video games event, being held at the NEC in Birmingham between 22-25 September 2016.

The tournament will be branded as being presented by OMEN, HP's next generation high-performance gaming laptop, desktop and accessory range launched in May 2016. The tournament will see four of the world's best teams compete against each other in this multiplayer first-person shooter video game, for a prize pot of $100,000 (approximately £76,000).

The first day of the CS:GO tournament will feature exhibition matches and the opportunity for show visitors to play in a competitive environment alongside leading Counter Strike professional players and showcase their commentary skills during live action. The final three days will feature the live pro tournament itself and will culminate in the Grand Final on Sunday 25 September 2016.

Neville Upton, Chief Executive Officer, Gfinity Plc, said:

"We are delighted that our expertise in hosting major eSports events continues to attract sponsors of the calibre as HP. HP is keen to promote its new OMEN brand as the hardware of choice for serious gamers and this agreement demonstrates our ability to provide a highly effective platform for advertisers to reach a wide range of eSports enthusiasts.

"This agreement follows quickly on from our agreement with Gillette to create a football based eSports competition around Pro-Evolution Soccer 2016 and shows the growing attraction of eSports as a portal for major brands to engage with their target audiences."
