LOS ANGELES, CA and PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC -- 11/04/09 -- KIT digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITD), a leading global provider of Internet Protocol (IP) based video management technologies, has agreed to a minimum two-year agreement with IMG, the world's premier and most diversified sports, entertainment and media company.

Nunet AG, which KIT digital acquired from IMG earlier this month, has provided IMG with platform support for various IMG events for the past three years. It is intended these services be continued and that the companies will work closely to find new areas of entrepreneurial activity and collaboration.

"IMG is one of the world's leading entertainment brands, and has shown tremendous foresight in using online and mobile video to grow its brands," said KIT digital's president, Gavin Campion. "This agreement reflects our commitment to continuing to provide world-best platform technology to Nunet customers, and we are confident that IMG will look to benefit from the broader range of products and services now available as part of the KIT digital offering."

Under the agreement, KIT digital will support certain key IMG properties, such as Fashion Week.

"IMG is focused on its core competencies in representation for sports, fashion and rights," said Carmi Zlotnik, head of IMG media operations. "We look to partner with the best and brightest in other areas such as digital technology, and believe KIT digital has distinguished itself as a leader in the relevant categories. Instead of viewing the sale of Nunet as an ending, we view the purchase of Nunet by KIT as the beginning of a collaborative relationship that will hopefully benefit both of our businesses."

The agreement with IMG complements KIT digital's leadership in the sport arena, in which the company has worked with leading brands, including ESPN, Eurosport, MLB, La Liga, The AFL (Australia), and Tabcorp Racing to provide rich IP video experiences to end-users.

Barak Bar-Cohen, KIT digital's executive vice president of business development, added: "We believe that sports content is perfectly suited to a 'three-screen' approach. Our technology allows content owners and telcos to serve fans sporting matches and highlights anywhere and anytime, on a mobile phone, a computer screen, or an IP-enabled TV."
