PROXY STATEMENT

General Information

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Private Media Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Private”) for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on December 18, 2006 (the “Annual Meeting”) and any postponements or adjournments thereof. Any shareholder giving a Proxy may revoke it before or at the meeting by providing a proxy bearing a later date or by attending the meeting and expressing a desire to vote in person. All proxies will be voted as directed by the shareholder on the Proxy card; and, if no choice is specified, they will be voted (1) “FOR” the five directors nominated by the Board of Directors, and (2) in the discretion of the persons acting as Proxies, for any other matters.

Your cooperation in promptly returning the enclosed Proxy will reduce the Company’s expenses and enable its management and employees to continue their normal duties for your benefit with minimum interruption for follow-up proxy solicitation.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on November 10, 2006, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting. On that date, the Company had outstanding 53,148,165 shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock vote as a single class. Holders of shares of Common Stock on the record date are entitled to one vote for each share held. The presence at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the shares of Common Stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

A plurality of votes by the holders of the Common Stock is required for the election of directors. In accordance with Nevada law, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e. proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of determining approval of a matter presented at the meeting, abstentions will be deemed present and entitled to vote and will, therefore, have the same legal effect as a vote “against” a matter presented at the meeting. Broker non-votes will be deemed not entitled to vote on the matter as to which the non-vote is indicated and will, therefore, have no legal effect on the vote on such matter.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and form of Proxy are being mailed or delivered to shareholders on or about November 27, 2006.

In the event that sufficient votes in favor of the proposals are not received by the date of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to permit further solicitations of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment or adjournments.

The cost of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing the materials, the Notice and the enclosed form of Proxy, as well as the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Annual Meeting, will be borne by the Company. The Company will request banks, brokers, dealers, and voting trustees or other nominees to

1

forward solicitation materials to their customers who are beneficial owners of shares, and will reimburse them for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such solicitations. The original solicitation of Proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram, personal solicitation or other means by officers and other regular employees or agents of the Company, but no additional compensation will be paid to such individuals on account of such activities.

PLEASE MARK, DATE AND SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY AND RETURN IT AT AN EARLY DATE IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE PREPAID RETURN ENVELOPE SO THAT, IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING, YOUR SHARES MAY BE VOTED.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF FIVE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR

Nominees and Voting

The Bylaws of the Company authorize a Board of Directors of five directors. Consequently, at the Annual Meeting five directors will be elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified. Proxies may not be voted for more than five persons. The Company has nominated for election as directors the five persons named below. Each of these nominees has indicated that they are able and willing to serve as directors.

Under Nevada law and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, shareholders of record on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held when voting for directors.

Unless otherwise instructed, the Company’s Proxy holders intend to vote the shares of Common Stock represented by the Proxies in favor of the election of these nominees. If for any reason any of these nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve, the shares represented by the enclosed Proxy will be voted for the election of the balance of those named and such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may recommend. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any such nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

The Company’s nominees and directors are listed below, together with their ages, offices with the Company and year in which each became a director of the Company.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE FIVE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

Business Experience of Directors and Nominees During the Past Five Years

Berth H. Milton was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company in February 1998 and was the Corporate Secretary from June 1998 until February 1999. In February 1999 Mr. Milton was appointed Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Private, and served as Chief Executive Officer until

3

May 2002. In November 2003 Mr. Milton was reappointed President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Milton has been Administrator of Milcap Media Group from its inception until June 2000 and has been acting as an advisor to the Milcap Group since 1991. Mr. Milton is also active in several international industry and real estate projects and developments.

Bo Rodebrant was appointed as a Director of the Company in August 1998. Mr. Rodebrant has operated his own accountancy and management consulting services, R&S Ekonomiservice, since 1986. Prior thereto he co-founded an ice cream business, Hemglass, which was the largest of its kind in Stockholm, Sweden. The business was sold by Mr. Rodebrant in 1986. Mr. Rodebrant holds a degree in construction engineering which he received in 1974.

Mr. Torralba holds a Degree in Information Technology from Escola D’informàtica d’Andorra.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors currently has three committees: (i) an Audit Committee, (ii) a Compensation Committee, and (iii) an Executive Committee. The Board of Directors does not have a formal nominating committee, and all decisions regarding director nominations are addressed by the entire Board of Directors.

Under applicable Nasdaq listing rules the Company is a “controlled company” as Berth Milton beneficially owns more than 50% of the Company’s Common Stock. Therefore, the Company is exempt from Nasdaq Marketplace Rules which require that (i) compensation of executive officers be determined by either a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors, and (ii) nomination of directors be made by either a majority of independent directors or a committee comprised solely of independent directors.

The Company’s Board of Directors met five times during 2005 (including actions by unanimous written consent). No director attended less than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors and all Committees on which he served during the 2005 fiscal year.

All of the members of the Board of Directors are “independent” as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200 other than Berth Milton, who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Lluis Torralba, Johan Carlberg and Daniel Sánchez. All of the members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as defined in applicable Nasdaq listing requirements and SEC regulations, and each of them is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. The Board has determined that Daniel Sánchez is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined

4

under applicable SEC regulations. The Audit Committee reviews and recommends to the Board, as it deems necessary, the internal accounting and financial controls for the Company and the accounting principles and auditing practices and procedures to be employed in preparation and review of financial statements of the Company. The Audit Committee makes recommendations to the Board concerning the engagement of independent public accountants and the scope of the audit to be undertaken by such accountants. The Audit Committee has adopted a written Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee met four times during 2005.

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Berth Milton and Javier Sánchez. The Compensation Committee reviews and, as it deems appropriate, recommends to the Board policies, practices and procedures relating to the compensation of the officers and other managerial employees and the establishment and administration of employee benefit plans. It exercises all authority under any employee stock option plans of the Company as the Committee therein specified, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors, and advises and consults with the officers of the Company as may be requested regarding managerial personnel policies. The Compensation Committee also has such additional powers as may be conferred upon it from time to time by the Board. The Compensation Committee met twice during 2005.

The Executive Committee is comprised of Messrs. Milton, Kull and Javier Sánchez. The Executive Committee is authorized, subject to certain limitations, to exercise all of the powers of the Board of Directors during periods between Board meetings. The Executive Committee met five times during 2005.

The Board has not established a formal nominating committee, nor has the Board adopted a nominating committee charter. Therefore, decisions relating to the nomination of directors are addressed by the entire Board of Directors. The Board has not established any specific minimum qualifications that must be met for recommendation for a position on the Board. Instead, in considering candidates for director, the Board will generally consider all relevant factors, including among others the candidate’s applicable expertise and demonstrated excellence in his or her field, the usefulness of such expertise to the Company, the availability of the candidate to devote sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Company, the candidate’s reputation for personal integrity and ethics and the candidate’s ability to exercise sound business judgment. Other relevant factors, including diversity, age and skills, will also be considered. Candidates for director are reviewed in the context of the existing membership of the Board (including the qualities and skills of the existing directors), the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of its shareholders. The Board uses its network of contacts when compiling a list of potential director candidates and may also engage outside consultants (such as professional search firms). At this time, the Board does not consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. The Board believes that it is in the best position to identify, review, evaluate and select qualified candidates for Board membership. All of the Company’s nominees for director at the 2006 Annual Meeting were approved by the entire Board of Directors.

Compensation of Directors

Our Board of Directors may, at its discretion, compensate directors for attending Board and Committee meetings and reimburse the directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending such meetings.

The Company has agreed to pay Daniel Sánchez and Lluis Torralba a fee of EUR 2,000, and Johan Carlberg a fee of EUR 1,000, for each Board and Committee meeting attended. Our directors are also eligible to receive stock option grants under its Stock Option Plan. In 2004 Messrs. Sánchez and Carlberg were each granted options to acquire 10,000 and 3,000 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.53 per share, which options vested in October 2005 and expire in October 2008; and in 2005 Messrs. Sánchez and Carlberg were each granted options to acquire 10,000 and 3,000 shares,

5

respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.17 per share, which options vested in October 2006 and expire in October 2009 In 2005 Mr. Torralba was granted options to acquire 8,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.74 per share, which options vested in May 2006 and expire in May 2009.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors

A shareholder may contact one or more of the members of the Board of Directors in writing by sending such communication to the Secretary at the Company’s address. The Secretary will forward shareholder communications to the appropriate director or directors for review. Anyone who has a concern about the conduct of the Company or the Company’s accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, may communicate that concern to the Secretary, the Chairman of the Board or any member of the Board of Directors at the Company’s address. The Company encourages individual directors to attend the Annual Meeting. At the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting one of the Company’s directors, Berth Milton, was in attendance. We believe the Company’s responsiveness to shareholder communications to the Board has been adequate.

Compensation Committee Report

The Company maintains a Compensation Committee, which currently consists of one Director, Berth Milton, and Javier Sánchez. The Compensation Committee approves salary practices for the Chief Executive Officer, and sets performance objectives and establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, subject to the review and approval of the Board of Directors’ outside independent directors. The compensation of other executive officers is reviewed and set by the Chief Executive Officer, after review and consultation with the other members of the Compensation Committee.

The Company’s policy in compensating executive officers is to establish methods and levels of compensation that will provide strong incentives to promote its profitability and growth and reward superior performance. Compensation of executive officers includes salary as well as stock-based compensation in the form of stock options under the Company’s Employee Stock Option Plan. During 2005, salary accounted for all the executive officers’ direct cash compensation. No new option grants were made to executive officers during 2005. The Company believes that the existing compensation of its executive officers should be sufficient to attract and retain highly qualified personnel and also provide meaningful incentives for measurably superior performance.

To date the Company has relied upon cash flow from operations as its principal source of working capital. As a result, the Company has placed special emphasis on equity-based compensation, in the form of options, to preserve its cash for operations. This approach also serves to match the interests of the Company’s executive officers with the interest of its shareholders. The Company seeks to reward achievement by its executive officers of long and short-term performance goals, which are measured by factors including improvements in revenue and profitability, and successfully developing new products and markets.

Included in the factors considered by the Compensation Committee in setting the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer during 2005 were progress made towards improving operating efficiency and refocusing the Company’s business on its core markets. During 2005, under the leadership of Berth Milton, the Company continued to make significant progress in connection with its efforts to reduce costs, eliminate operational inefficiencies and reposition the Company’s business activities to focus on its core markets.

Berth Milton Javier Sánchez

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs.

Audit Committee Report

The Company maintains an Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”), consisting entirely of outside Directors who are not employees or former employees of the Company and are independent under applicable Nasdaq and SEC regulations. The Audit Committee has, in the course of its duties, reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements, and has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. The Audit Committee has also received the appropriate auditors disclosures regarding the auditors’ independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed with them its independence. Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Commission for Fiscal 2005.

Certain Relationships

No Director or executive officer of Private Media Group is related to any other Director or executive officer. None of our officers or Directors holds any directorships in any other public entity. There are currently four outside directors on our Board of Directors.

Related Transactions

Following is a description of transactions involving more than $60,000 since January 1, 2005, between us and our directors, nominees, executive officers, or members of their immediate family.

In December 2001 Private borrowed $4.0 million from Commerzbank AG pursuant to a Note originally due December 20, 2002 in order to expand the Company’s product portfolio. Subsequently the maturity of the Note was extended to March 2003. The Note bears interest at an annual rate of 7%, payable quarterly, with the entire principal amount and accrued interest due on maturity. The Note is prepayable in full upon the sale of equity by the Company. Upon the Note becoming prepayable, the Company is required to repay the entire principal amount of the Note together with the greater of (1) accrued interest payable on the Note or (2) a prepayment premium equal to $200,000. The Note is secured by a guaranty from Slingsby Enterprises and a pledge by Slingsby Enterprises of 4,950,000 shares of Common Stock. The lender and Slingsby Enterprises have also agreed that if the Note remains unpaid at maturity, Commerzbank may elect to exchange the Note for Common Stock owned by Slingsby Enterprises with a value of $5.0 million. In April 2003 the Note was acquired by Consipio Holding b.v. from Commerzbank AG, and Consipio and Private reached an agreement-in-principle with Consipio to extend the maturity of the Note for five years, with interest on the Note being increased to 9.9% per annum. However, Consipio and Private have been unable to reach final agreement on other terms and conditions relating to the restructured Note. Accordingly, in December 2003 Consipio notified Private and Slingsby Enterprises that Private was in default under the Note, and demanded immediate payment of the outstanding principal under the Note. The Company continues to make all regularly scheduled interest payments on the Note and believes that it has valid defenses to the demand for

14

immediate repayment of the Note, should Consipio seek to enforce immediate repayment. The Company continues to engage in discussions with Consipio with a view towards reaching final agreement on a restructured Note. As of December 31, 2005 the outstanding principal under the Note was $2.9 million (or EUR 2.5 million). In any event, the Company does not believe that the acceleration of the Note by Consipio, if not rescinded, will have a material adverse effect on the Company, as the Note is fully collateralized by 4,950,000 shares of Private Media Group, Inc. Common Stock pursuant to the guaranty agreement from Slingsby. Slingsby Enterprises is beneficially owned by Berth H. Milton, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Effective December 31, 2002, the Company completed the purchase of all of the outstanding stock of Barbuda B.V., from companies indirectly beneficially owned by Berth Milton. The principal asset of Barbuda B.V. was an approximately 6,300 square meter office facility and additional parking under construction, located in Barcelona, Spain. Construction was completed in September 2004. The purpose of this transaction was to acquire this property as the Company’s European headquarters. Since the acquisition, the Company reevaluated its need for additional space and as of February 2005 no longer owned the property.

The consideration paid by Private’s subsidiary to the seller for the Barbuda B.V. stock was EUR 9,956,950. The fair market value of the principal asset of Barbuda B.V., the real estate, was based upon independent appraisals. The consideration payable to the seller consisted of EUR 3,387,581 cash, paid in December 2002, and a note payable in the amount of EUR 6,569,369 (the “Barbuda Note”). The Barbuda Note bears interest at a rate of EURIBOR+1% payable annually and was originally due and payable on December 31, 2004. The amount payable on the Barbuda Note at December 31, 2004 was EUR 0.7 million. In January 2005, the Company and the seller agreed to a EUR 2.2 million reduction of the purchase price of the Barbuda B.V. stock based upon an adjustment to the fair market value of the real estate following completion of construction. Of this EUR 2.2 million adjustment, EUR 0.7 million was applied as an offset to retire the Barbuda Note and the remaining EUR 1.5 million was reflected as an increase in the related party receivable, described below.

The Company has short-term loans to an entity controlled by Mr. Milton in the amount of EUR 4.2 million and 5.9 million at December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The loans bear interest at the rate of EURIBOR+1% per annum and have no maturity date. During 2004 and 2005 the highest amounts outstanding were EUR 4.2 million and EUR 5.9 million, respectively. Advances and repayments since June 30, 2002 are related to the acquisition of the Barbuda B.V. stock from an entity controlled by Mr. Milton, discussed above. In January 2005 the amount of the receivable was increased by EUR 1.5 million to reflect an adjustment in the purchase price of the Barbuda B.V. stock, as described above. As of September 30, 2006, EUR 6.0 million remained outstanding on these loans, including interest.

In May 2003 EUR 1.65 million of a related party note payable was re-financed by an institutional lender at the same interest rate as on the Note Payable, EURIBOR + 1%. The loan is repayable in equal monthly installments over a four year period starting June 29, 2004. The loan is guaranteed by the Company’s principal shareholder and affiliates of the Company’s principal shareholder.

The foregoing transactions were approved by a majority of our disinterested directors and are believed to be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties on an arms-length basis.
