MARINA DEL REY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Digicorp, Inc. (OTCBB:DGCO) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary Youth Media (HKG) Limited has entered into a 20 plus 10 year Cooperation Agreement for exclusive advertising and media rights with China Youth Net (CYN). This contract uniquely positions Digicorp to market to China’s massive but hard-to-reach student population online, on campus and via mobile. CYN is the Chinese government agency which oversees Internet activity for China’s student population of more than 70 million young people between the ages of 14 and 28. CYN will be primarily responsible for providing the required government licenses and regulated services including campus and technical access as well as content approval services.

The broad ranging contract includes the exclusive use of one of only a handful of China’s highly sought after Online Broadcasting Licenses which Digicorp will use to build and launch a large scale premium content delivery network targeted to students via IPTV. The new network will initially target the campus-based student population, estimated at 45 million young people, who make up China’s most active online community and are a valuable segment within the country’s next generation of consumers. Additionally, the agreement grants Youth Media the rights to extend the campus media and advertising delivery onto mobile handsets in the future. “Our partnership with CYN marks a new and exciting era for Digicorp,” commented Jay Rifkin, Digicorp’s CEO. “This sets the company firmly in China’s youth media marketplace with a strong combination of unique assets to immediately put to work and also build on for the future.”

Enters into Letter of Intent with China Youth Net to Create Media Portal

 

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Digicorp, Inc. (OTCBB:DGCO) announced today that its subsidiary Rebel Crew Films has licensed the DVD distribution rights to its Spanish language film library to Westlake Entertainment, Inc. (“Westlake”), an independent entertainment distribution company in operation for 14 years. The licensing agreement is part of an initiative to focus Digicorp’s efforts on commercialization of its patent pending ViraCast advertising technology and associated business opportunities in the US and internationally.

Effective immediately, Westlake will take over sales, production and all physical distribution of the 157 title library, while Digicorp will continue to manage digital distribution and advertising rights. Westlake will distribute existing inventory for a fee and will distribute new product on a revenue share basis.

“The Rebel Crew library is an ideal match for our capabilities,” commented Luke Stefanko, Westlake’s President. Larry Cohen, Westlake partner, added, “We intend to introduce these titles to a broader range of North America’s top retailers and provide access to a much wider audience.” As a result of this agreement, Rebel Crew Films expects to eliminate most of its distribution overhead within the first quarter of 2008 while maintaining a revenue stream from library sales

Digicorp today also announced execution of a letter of intent (LOI) with China Youth Net (CYN) and China based Internet company WKC to build, launch and operate a large scale advertising supported Internet media portal in China. The LOI provides for the new venture to retain the exclusive rights to serve international content via a peer-to-peer portal to China’s student population of more than 70 million young people, ranging from eighth grade through university. Under the auspices of CYN, the new portal will comply with recent regulations instituted by the Chinese government that restrict online video sites. Under this new policy, websites that provide video programming or allow users to upload video must obtain government permits, and applicants must be either state-owned or state-controlled companies.

The LOI calls for the three parties to have equal ownership of the new venture and for the venture to have its own dedicated management team. The LOI requires that Digicorp contribute the exclusive China rights to its ViraCast technology and that CYN assist fully in the protection of the venture’s intellectual property rights. CYN has also agreed to market the portal to its 70 million members via its 52 websites and student database of email addresses and mobile phone numbers. WKC will primarily be responsible for operations in China.

The LOI contemplates the raising of certain financing for the new venture. At this stage, no funding has been committed and there can be no assurances that funding will be secured. In addition, should the parties fail to execute a definitive agreement within one year, the LOI will terminate unless extended by the parties.

ViraCast, a Digicorp registered trademark, is patent pending, enterprise software capable of sourcing a variety of global ad networks to dynamically insert and track contextual, geo-targeted, interactive advertising in downloadable media.
