February 1, 2006 — MGM Consumer Products announced today the extension of its relationship with Thomas Pink, renowned globally for their stylish collections of shirts and accessories for men, women and boys. The relationship blends the fun and nostalgia of the Pink Panther with the sophistication and style of Thomas Pink.

"MGM wanted to elevate the Pink Panther brand to a more adult audience for the 40th anniversary in 2004," said Travis Rutherford, Executive Vice President, MGM Consumer Products and Location Based Entertainment. "After looking at the Thomas Pink brand and philosophy, it was evident that the two brands were a perfect fit, as each could be equated to cool, sophisticated and stylish. With the rates of sales being so outstanding for our original co-branded product line, we went back to Thomas Pink for a second partnership that will no doubt be even more successful, especially with the release of the new Pink Panther movie generating extra interest in the brand this season." To mark the release in February 2006 of the new live-action movie The Pink Panther" starring Steve Martin, Kevin Kline and Beyonce Knowles, Thomas Pink launches an exclusive collection of iconic shirts and ties with a quirky Pink Panther feel.

Says Alison Loehnis, Sales & Marketing Director for Thomas Pink, "The partnership between Thomas Pink and MGM is the perfect example of bringing together great brand equity. The extension of the Pink Panther collection in 2006 was a natural progression as our customers loved the stylish, quirky collections we launched originally to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Pink Panther." The exclusive Pink Panther collection includes iconic shirts and ties which combine the wit and humor of the Pink Panther with Thomas Pink's shirt making heritage:

- Women can choose from three limited edition shirts including a tailored pink and black striped shirt with double cuffs and covered placket effect and a Pink Panther double faced sateen shirt with double cuffs and Pink Swarovski crystal buttons in black or pale pink.

- Men can choose from two limited edition Slim Fit shirts - a jacquard textured shirt with a pink diamond design or a black silky cotton shirt with contrasting pink diamond lining.

- The Pink Panther has always been loved by children so, with this in mind, Pink have followed the success of their boys collection with a white pinpoint shirt with pink diamond pattern detail on the cuff and yoke lining.

- Accessories include sterling silver mini Pink Panther cufflinks, Swarovski pink crystal cufflinks for her and a cheeky Pink Panther pink and black tie.

The Pink Panther collection will be available at Thomas Pink stores beginning this week. To celebrate the new collection and film release, Pink Stores worldwide will feature Pink Panther window displays.
