    Bergen, Norway, April 12, 2012, Vizrt Ltd. (Oslo Main List: VIZ)

    Vizrt Ltd., a leading provider of content production tools for the digital media
    industry,  announced today that the Company has signed two deals, worth in excess
    of USD 2.28 million, to be recognized over four quarters, starting Q2 2012. The
    deals are for the rental of Broadcast Graphics software and the provision of
    services to Thailand-based broadcaster MCOT-CH9.

    The first deal includes the one-year rental of studio presentation software for
    news, sports and entertainment programs. A customer since 2007, CH9 has been
    using Vizrt´s graphics systems for Viz Video Wall ER and Viz Virtual Studio -
    Vizrt´s virtual studio module for scalable, real time 3D virtual studio
    productions. This deal increases the size of their current video wall with
    additional Barco screens and adds cameras to the customer´s existing virtual
    set.  Viz Trio is included as a character generator (CG) for both the video wall
    and virtual set.

    The second deal consists of services for installation of the rental products and
    creative services for the design and implementation of the video wall, virtual
    set and immersive graphic presentations.

    "Over the course of my long career in the broadcasting industry, I have come to
    see technology as a meanof communication." Stated Mr. Chakraphan Yomchinda, Vice
    Chairman of the Board of Directors and Acting President, MCOT. "MCOT decided to
    use Viz Video Wall ER since it is an excellent tool for storytelling. Aiming to
    fulfill our role as a public broadcaster, MCOT wants the Thai audience to have
    access to the most up to date broadcasting technology, and to experience our
    educational and entertainment programs via this new innovational display"

    Martin Burkhalter, CEO of Vizrt, stated, "The combination of creative services
    with updated software and hardware will give the station a robust presentation
    and enhanced story telling abilities. The fact that we will be providing
    creative and operational services is a testament to our philosophy to develop
    products that are based on the end product our customers strive to present to
    their audiences. Our origins are in the production rooms of broadcast stations,
    a link we have never abandoned, only strengthened. As a result we are close to
    heart of broadcast operations, which allows us to develop and implement
    technology that is the most relevant to our customers."

    Mr Burkhalter continued, "Furthermore, our ability to close and implement deals
    like these is the direct effect of our efforts to strengthen local operations
    through our regionalization program."

    MCOT (Mass Communication of Thailand) has owned the public broadcast license to
    both TV and more than a thousand radio channels throughout Thailand. CH9 is one
    of the top 3 networks in Thailand with programming ranging from news to sports
    to entertainment.
