Gay Games® Chicago Signs $3.2 Million
Broadcast Rights Deal with Q Television
$1.7 Million Cash and $1.5 Million Barter Secure TV, Radio
and Internet Broadcast Rights for New LGBT TV Network
2004-12-03
CHICAGO, IL – Chicago organizers of Gay Games VII today announced the signing of a contract with the California-based Q Television Network (Pink Sheets:QBID) granting the new gay network television, radio and Internet broadcast rights in a deal valued at more than $3.2 million. Gay Games VII Sports and Cultural Festival will take place in Chicago, IL, USA, 15-22 July 2006.
The Q Television/Gay Games VII deal is for $1.7 million in cash plus more than $1.5 million in advertising and programming benefits, making the partnership worth more than $3.2 million, the largest-ever sponsorship of an event for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. The contract, signed Dec. 3, 2004, grants Q Television Internet, radio and television broadcast rights and provides for joint development of Gay Games-related programming, broadcast advertising of the Gay Games from now through 2006, and live and taped coverage of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago. (All sums are in US dollars.)
As part of the deal, Q Television, a paid cable network, will unscramble its signal during the week of the Gay Games, ensuring broad-based access to the pageantry of the ceremonies, exciting sporting competitions, inspiring cultural and arts offerings, and the warmth and beauty of Chicago. Q Television will also serve as the agent for the worldwide redistribution of television, radio and Internet broadcast rights, allowing for access beyond Q Television’s cable footprint, especially in international markets. The media rights sold do not prohibit standard news coverage.
"The Q Television Network is proud to now be the broadcast home of the Gay Games,” said Frank Olsen, President and CEO of Q Television Network. “This is a major contract for Q Television. Lesbian and gay sports are a crucial part of the LGBT community and the Gay Games are the worldwide expression of the best in amateur sport. The Gay Games in Chicago will be a monumental event for the worldwide gay and lesbian community and we are thrilled to be the only television network to have an exclusive contract. We look forward to telling the stories of these amazing athletes and artists to our viewers."
“Our partnership with Q Television will ensure international visibility for the Gay Games movement throughout the next two years,” said Tracy Baim, Chicago Games, Inc. (CGI) Co-Vice Chair. “With integrated programming scheduled to take place throughout the months leading up to Gay Games VII in Chicago, Q Television Network will earn the title ‘Network of the Gay Games’.” CGI’s negotiation team included Baim, attorney Gary Medler of Hinshaw & Culbertson, and CGI Co-Chairs Sam Coady and Suzanne Arnold. The broadcast relationship was initiated by Plan B, Chicago’s primary corporate sponsorship development firm with offices in Los Angeles, Montreal and London.
Kathleen Webster, co-president of the international Federation of Gay Games, expressed excitement about the deal and the Chicago team. “This is the largest corporate partner ever to sponsor the Gay Games, and we are very excited at how quickly Chicago has secured major sponsorship for Gay Games VII. Having already surpassed corporate sponsorship totals for all of Gay Games VI in Sydney in 2002, CGI is on track to meet or exceed all financial projections,” said Webster. Earlier this year, Chicago announced that PlanetOut, Inc. (Nasdaq: LGBT) had become a Premium sponsor of the 2006 Gay Games for $1.06 million, which, until the Q Television announcement, was the largest corporate support for an LGBT sporting event ever.
Q Television can be found on the cable network RCN (channel 255) in New York, Boston and San Francisco with distribution following in additional cities across the USA. It is currently the home for such original programming as “Q on the Move,” a travelogue of gay-friendly places, people and events; “WOW! Women on Women,” a lesbian talk show, and “Q the Music,” a variety program of current music videos geared toward the gay and lesbian community. For further information on programming and subscriptions, please visit www.qtelevision.com.

VPGI-Merged into RFID Tech Company
On November 10, 2004 we executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with Venture Pacific Group, Inc. ("VPG"). Pursuant to the Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company created for the sole purpose of facilitating the transaction merged into VPG, resulting in VPG being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was completed on November 16, 2004.
Our Chief Executive Officer also serves as the Chief Executive Officer and as a director of VPG and is the beneficial owner of approximately 39% of VPG. Trident Growth Fund, L.P. ("Trident"), reported as a beneficial owner of 7.6% of VPGI Corp. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2004, is also a beneficial owner of approximately 35% of VPG.
Consideration paid by the Company for the acquisition of VPG consists of the following: (1) one share of par value $.001 common stock of the Company ("Common Stock") being exchanged for each ten shares of par value $.001 common stock of VPG held by VPG shareholders; the Company will issue a total of approximately 770,000 new shares of its common stock to VPG shareholders in the transaction, which, based on the Company's stock price as of November 10, 2004, is valued at approximately $60,000; and (2) the issuance of a new series of preferred stock of the Company, valued at approximately $1.75 million, to retire an outstanding series of preferred stock of VPG.
The principle followed in determining the amount of such consideration was an estimation of the approximate value of VPG, considering its current and potential business prospects.
