One Media iP Group plc

(“One Media” or the “Group”)

Director Appointments

Further to the announcement of 18 December 2017, One Media iP Group plc (AIM:
OMIP), a digital media content provider that exploits intellectual property
rights around music, video and copyright technology, is pleased to announce
the appointment of Lord Michael Grade as Non-Executive Director and Ivan
Dunleavy as Non-Executive Chairman of the Group.

The appointments are part of the Group’s stated ambition to capitalise on
the growth of the music sector and to pursue further acquisitions in keeping
with its original buy and build strategy.

As stated previously, the music industry is being led by growth in the
streaming services provided by sites such as Apple Music, Spotify and Amazon,
and the advent of devices like the Amazon Echo (Alexa) or Google Home has led
to consumers continuing to change their music buying habits and embrace
streaming services. The Group believes that this technology-led evolution will
ensure that the industry will reap the benefits and enjoy sustained long-term
growth. 

Michael Infante, CEO of One Media, commented: “I am delighted to welcome
Lord Grade and Ivan Dunleavy to the Board of One Media. They bring a wealth of
experience and an exceptional track record in the media industry. I look
forward to progressing to the next stage in our development to enhance our
position in the growing digital music market.”
