("One Media” or the "Company")

Acquisition of 21 Vision catalogue royalties

One Media iP Group Plc (AIM: OMIP), the digital music rights acquirer,
publisher and distributor, is pleased to announce that it has acquired the
licensor’s share of the royalties to the 21 Vision catalogue of rights
(‘the Catalogue’), which contains over 2,000 recordings from some of the
all-time music greats from over the last seven decades.

Since 2009, the 21 Vision catalogue has been licensed to One Media on a
royalty-sharing basis. As part of the deal, One Media has acquired the
licensor's royalty share of the catalogue on an in perpetuity basis, which
allows the Company to continue to exploit the catalogue via all of its digital
mediums and collect all revenues associated with the licence. 

The Catalogue includes rare music concerts and live recordings performed
by over 70 artists who, since the digital era began, have a renewed
popularity as they are rediscovered by growing global audiences. Such
performers include Glenn Millar, The Andrews Sisters, The Ink Spots, Vera
Lynn, Count Basie, Flanagan & Allen and Cole Porter, music reminiscent of the
Dads Army generation (over 60+) whose age group now form 29% of digital
streaming consumers according to Statista.

The acquisition, which was in the normal course of business, was completed
through One Media's Harmony IP asset release programme.  Harmony IP allows
music rights holders advanced access to the future earnings of their
intellectual property by purchasing a portion of their rights
upfront. www.harmonyip.com

Michael Infante, CEO of One Media iP, commented: "We have worked with 21
Vision for 12 years, marketing their music catalogue on a royalty sharing
basis. By buying out the licensor’s royalty share, One Media secures the
rights to the catalogue on an in-perpetuity basis, whilst also increasing its
margin by taking a bigger share of the royalty.

 The Harmony IP initiative is open to all of our existing licensors, and
allows One Media to increase its profitability using its cash resource to
acquire our partners’ royalty streams. We look forward to keeping the
market updated on our progress.”
