 INTEREST IN MARILYN MONROE AT ALL TIME HIGH

NEW YORK, February 3rd, 2012 – Authentic Brands Group and the Estate of Marilyn Monroe continue to consolidate the Marilyn Monroe brand, and actively seek high-end licensing agreements with some of the world's top-tier brands.

"For the first time in nearly fifty years, the Marilyn Monroe brand has been consolidated under one roof here at ABG," said Jamie Salter, CEO of Authentic Brands Group. "We are working tirelessly to reflect her A-list status by signing best-in-class partners all over the world."

Those partners currently include world famous design houses like Dolce & Gabbana, Dior and GERARD DAREL. "Marilyn Monroe's timeless elegance is ingrained in our culture, and we are actively pursuing partners that exude Monroe's sophistication and grace," said Nick Woodhouse, CMO of Authentic Brands Group.

Authentic Brands Group acquired the name and likeness of Marilyn Monroe in 2010 in partnership with NECA, which includes long-term deals that allow ABG to license the archives of legendary photographers Bruno Bernard, Milton Greene and Tom Kelley. The landmark deal marks the first time in almost 50 years that both her estate assets and photo assets have been consolidated to one "halo" organization.

While 2011 saw a rejuvenation of the Marilyn Monroe brand, including a CGI appearance by Monroe in Dior's perfume campaign, 2012 may prove to be even bigger. On the immediate horizon, the NBC show Smash, which premieres February 6 at 10 p.m. ET, follows an all-star cast as they attempt to create a musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. The show is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Theresa Rebeck, David Marshall Grant, Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, Craig Zadan, Neil Meron, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman and stars Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston, Katharine McPhee, Jack Davenport, Christian Borle, Megan Hilty, Raza Jaffrey, Brian d'Arcy James and Jaime Cepero.

 CHAD OCHOCINCO OF THE CINCINATTI BENGALS TEAMS UP WITH TAPOUT MOUTHGUARDS AND PERFORMANCE BANDS

FAMOUS WIDE RECEIVER ENDORSES TAPOUT AND ROUNDS OUT TAPOUT PRO TEAM WITH OTHER PROS LIKE PATRICK KANE, DEXTER MCCLUSTER, TARYNE MOWATT AND JAKE ELLENBERGER

NEW YORK, June 13th, 2011 – Known for his golden smile, athletic prowess and in-your-face attitude, Chad Ochocinco, wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals, is taking to the field in style with TapouT Mouthguards and TapouT RealG Performance Bands. "Ochocinco is the perfect athlete to represent the TapouT brand and its energy and intensity," said Chris Circo, CEO of Battle Sports Science. "Fans absolutely adore Chad's rule-breaking enthusiasm and passionate devotion to sports. This is evident in the relationship he maintains with his over 2 million Twitter followers."

Professional athletes across all team sports have embraced mixed martial arts training for both physical and mental conditioning. MMA has replaced the more traditional training methods like running and weight lifting with many pros due to the intense level of cardio and the core strength advantages. Others feel the gained confidence, adrenaline rush and its technical aspects are unmatched by any other form of training.

Chad Ochocinco joins Chicago Blackhawks hockey great Patrick Kane, Kansas City Chiefs superstar running back Dexter McCluster, Super Bowl winning running back Pierre Thomas from the New Orleans Saints, two time national champion and ESPY award winner Taryne Mowatt and MMA fighters like Jake Ellenberger, Travis Browne and many others in representing TapouT Performance Products.

Produced by Battle Sports Science, in partnership with Authentic Brands Group, the TapouT Mouthguard is an innovative mouth protection system so advanced that it rivals the safety and performance of custom-molded mouthguards that cost hundreds of dollars - yet the TapouT Mouthguard is available for a fraction of the cost. The design of the TapouT Mouthguard has integrated channels that remain open so athletes can more easily breathe - oxygenating muscles and maintaining ease of speech. In addition, in independent testing of athletes performing basic performance tests, there were increases in performance across the board when wearing the TapouT Mouthguard.

Athletes who wear TapouT Mouthguards benefit from maximum impact protection and perfect-fit technology leading to improved performance on the field. Not only will Ochocinco be protecting his mouth in style with the mouthguard, he'll also be sporting the new TapouT RealG Bands and the TapouT RealG Sweatbands. The bands provide unmatched durability and style with real magnetic technology embedded in a dual layer medical grade silicone.
