Trading update

TLA Worldwide plc (AIM: TLA) ("TLA" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on business activities.

Since the IPO, the Company has added to both its client and agent roster and expects to continue to do so through hires, acquisitions and other combinations.

In the fourth quarter and current year-to-date, the firm has negotiated over $100 million of additional off-season playing contracts for its baseball clients. Such recent activity brings the total of the Company's guaranteed baseball client contracts under management to more than $520MM.

The Company has also recently signed a number of new baseball, coaching and talent marketing clients and negotiated new broadcasting deals for its existing clients. TLA has further negotiated a number of new commercial agreements for its clients, including those with brands such as Proctor & Gamble, BP, Barbasol, Red Bull, 5 Hour Energy and Subway. During last month's Super Bowl, TLA secured over 60 talent appearances, including commercial opportunities for 15 of its clients, further exhibiting its exceptional ability to deliver for their client base. In addition, the Company continues to secure talent endorsements in connection with this summer's Olympic Games.

Since Admission to AIM on 8 December 2011, the Company has also successfully merged the two firms, Legacy Sports Group, a leading baseball representation business, and The Agency Sports Management, a leading sports marketing and management company. The combined entity operates in the United States as The Legacy Agency or TLA.

Together they combine to create an integrated, full service offering with an on-field focus on professional baseball. TLA's goal is to build out the baseball representation practice and to further grow and solidify its position as a best in class sports marketing group with leading talent marketing, golf, broadcasting and coaching divisions.

The merger is now complete, with a new brand identity, a combined IT platform and integrated financial systems. The businesses are working closely together to generate synergies for the group. Clients are already seeing the benefits of full service, turnkey representation for all facets of their careers.

TLA is expected to announce its results to 31 December 2011, which will cover the 23 day period from Admisison to AIM, together with pro-forma results for 2011 early in the second quarter. Based on trading to date, the Company continues to expect 2012 results to be in line with market forecasts.

TLA CEO Mike Principe commented, "We are starting to see the early benefits of the IPO. Since Admission at the end of last year, we have completed the merger of the two businesses and established a solid platform for growth. The complementary nature of TLA's combined Group is allowing us to provide a broader array of services and opportunities to our clients. Now that the business is integrated and hitting its stride, we are already seeing the benefit through more visible and tangible deals for both our clients and the Company as a whole."
