Kapersky Lab May Not Renew Sponsorship of NRL Club

Australia’s National Rugby League (NRL) Manly-Warringah club’s main sponsor, Kaspersky Lab- an Antivirus software company- may decide not to agree (au)$2.8M contract extension unless club board member Peter Peters resigns.

Kaspersky Lab Managing Dir Harry Cheung said they”will walk away” from the deal when its contract lapses at the end of the year if Peters remains a director.

Kaspersky executives are reportedly concerned about the negative publicity Peters has brought to the Manly brand and, consequently, their own company.{jcomments on}
