SNOT SPOT GOES INTERNATIONAL Vail, Colorado – December 18, 2006 – Vail-based When I Grow Up, Inc., the company that introduced the Snot Spot® to U.S. retailers and consumers nationwide in 2005, is pleased to announce a comprehensive international distribution agreement with Hamble River Associates, a division of Hamble River Holdings of Southampton, Hampshire, UK. The agreement grants exclusive product representation to Hamble River for the United Kingdom and non-exclusive but primary representation on mainland Europe. “We discovered Snot Spot at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in August of this year,” said David Sully, partner at Hamble River Associates. “It’s a great product that fills an open niche in the market overseas, just like it does in the U.S. We believe we have the opportunity to see great success not just in the general outdoor enthusiast market where Snot Spot has focused in the United States but also by targeting European football (U.S. soccer) players as well.” “We are extremely pleased to work with Hamble River to help us move into markets we could not otherwise reach at this time,” added Monica Martin, Snot Spot president and CEO of When I Grow Up, Inc. “As a small company, it would be difficult for us to establish overseas operations, not to mention deal with all of the logistics of U.S. export and multi-national import in Europe. By working with Hamble River, we can continue to focus on domestic sales and operations and let them start to build the overseas market on our behalf.” The distribution agreement, which covers all current and future styles of Snot Spot, is effective immediately, and Hamble River has already begun introducing the product to its customers in the U.K. All design, material sourcing, and manufacturing will continue to be done in the U.S. About When I Grow Up, Inc.
