Motive Television Signs Licensing Agreement with TELE System Electronic S.r.l.

Additional Set-Top Box Licensing for Mediaset Premium Play

London 6 November 2013: Motive Television PLC (AIM: MTV.LN) ("Motive"), the London-based provider of technology-based solutions that create new income for the television industry, announces that its Spanish subsidiary, Motive Television S.L. ("Motive S.L.") has signed a software licensing agreement with TELE System Electronic S.r.l. ("TSE").

Under this agreement Motive S.L. will provide TSE with a limited, non-transferable and non-exclusive licence to use Motive's technology in the set-top boxes (STB's) sold by TSE to Mediaset in exchange for a licence royalty per unit. TSE will report quarterly on these sales and pay royalties based on this information.

The new agreement covers licences for approximately 50,000 units that have been distributed to Mediaset for new customers of its Premium Play on-demand broadcast service which is enabled by Motive's Television's Anytime Anywhere (TVAA) technology. Since launching in late 2009, Mediaset has used Motive's TVAA to provide popular films in standard definition, high definition, and 3D on an on-demand basis to hundreds of thousands of subscribers in Italy.

The agreement between Motive S.L. and TSE will continue to cover additional deliveries of STB's to Mediaset until 31 December 2014. 

On 7 October 2013 Motive announced a renewal of its annual support and maintenance agreement with Mediaset for the TVAA technology.

Leonard M Fertig, Chief Executive Officer of Motive, commented, "Over the past four years, the growth, reliability, and success of the Mediaset Premium Play on-demand platform has been one of the largest and most successful deployments of its kind. We look forward to a lasting relationship with TSE and the continued success of Mediaset Premium Play on-demand."
