("LVCG", the "Company" or the "Group")
Agreement with AWC to provide BRICKLIVE shows in Germany
Live Company Group Plc (AIM: LVCG) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement with AWC AG ("AWC"), one of Germany's leading exhibition promoters, to provide three BRICKLIVE shows in Germany during the next 12 months (the "Agreement").
AWC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Explorado Group, which offers comprehensive services for visitor attractions and family entertainment in the 360° model, focusing on international blockbuster exhibitions which have included amongst others, the Harry PotterTM and Game of ThronesTM exhibitions in Germany.
Under the Agreement, AWC will organise the following BRICKLIVE shows in Germany during the next 12 months:
· a BRICKLIVE interactive show, to take place at Odysseum in Cologne for a period of approximately four months;
· a BRICKLIVE - Force touring show, to take place at Explorado in Duisburg for a period of approximately five months; and
· a BRICKLIVE - Brickosaurs touring show, to take place at Odysseum in Cologne for a period of approximately three months.
AWC will become the Group's exclusive partner in Germany, subject to organising at least three BRICKLIVE shows per annum. In Europe, AWC will become a non-exclusive partner of the Group in respect of its other BRICKLIVE events and corporate builds, excluding the UK and Republic of Ireland. AWC will also work with the Group regarding its BRICKLIVE Zoo programme in Germany.
The Company and AWC will also collaborate to create and develop concepts for future BRICKLIVE shows including a BRICKLIVE Christmas Show exclusively in Germany and potentially elsewhere in Europe.
AWC shall also provide the Group with logistical support, including the provision of warehousing for the Group's models, thereby providing the Group with greater access to central Europe.
The Agreement is for a four year term, with a break clause after the first year. Under the Agreement, AWC will pay a licence fee to the Group for each BRICKLIVE show that it organises, with AWC receiving a commission from the Group for each BRICKLIVE Zoo show delivered in Germany together with further payments for any additional services it provides to the Group.
David Ciclitira, Executive Chairman of Live Company Group, said: "I am delighted to have AWC, a leading player in the exhibition sector, as our partner to deliver BRICKLIVE shows in Germany and potentially across Europe. We very much look forward to developing the partnership and to develop new show concepts as we seek to continue to expand the BRICKLIVE brand."

We look forward to working with LVCG to deliver BRICKLIVE shows in Germany and potentially throughout Europe."
