Company extends dominance in celebrity gaming

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:GLUU), a leading global developer and publisher
of free-to-play games for smartphone and tablet devices, today announced

previously announced partnerships with Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian West,
Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, and Jason
Statham, Glu will now be developing games featuring celebrities whose
combined social media audience exceeds 1 billion followers.*

Glu anticipates titles featuring these celebrities supported by more

announced on Glu’s analyst day earlier this year. Official announcements
and additional information regarding Glu’s newest celebrity partners
will be released at a later date.

“It is with great excitement that I’m able to confirm Glu has now signed
exclusive, long-term partnerships with celebrities whose total social
media audience exceeds one billion followers,” said Niccolo de Masi, Glu
Chairman and CEO. “We have the pleasure of working with the most iconic
figures in entertainment whose brand recognition and social reach make
them powerful partners for mobile gaming. We’ll announce our new
partnerships in the fullness of time, two of which are male non-musician
celebrities which add new depth to Glu’s celebrity gaming portfolio.”

*Based on the combined Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vevo, and Vine
audiences of Katy Perry, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian West,
Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, Jason Statham and the yet-to-be announced
