Amcomri Entertainment Inc. Completes Major Asset Sales and Mulls Delisting, Ceases Active Operations

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 30, 2024) – Amcomri Entertainment Inc. (Cboe CA: AMEN) (FSE: 25Y0) (OTC Pink: AMNNF) (“Amcomri” or the “Company”) is thrilled to announce the successful completion of two significant transactions:

Firstly, following up on its June 26, 2024 announcement, Amcomri, along with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Trinity Pictures Distribution Limited (“Trinity”) and Amcomri Productions Limited (“APL”), has finalized the sale of specific assets used for the distribution of television productions via TV, streaming, and other platforms (the “Television Sale Transaction”). Secondly, in line with its July 29, 2024 announcement, Trinity has also completed the sale of Amcomri’s film production and distribution business (the “Film Sale Transaction”). Together, these are referred to as the “Sale Transactions”. Shareholders approved both transactions at the annual general and special meeting on August 28, 2024.

Regarding the Television Sale Transaction, Amcomri received a total of C$18.3 million in cash. Additionally, certain production loans held by Abacus and APL were assumed, totaling approximately £1.67 million and US$3.21 million. From the cash proceeds, Amcomri allocated funds to fully repay long-term debts of Abacus and APL amounting to around C$4.26 million (converted from British pounds at an exchange rate of 1.7773), repay a film loan worth C$2.09 million (converted from US dollars at an exchange rate of 1.3471), and cover the Vendors’ share of representation and warranty insurance costs associated with the Television Sale Transaction, which amounted to roughly C$0.124 million. After these payments, Amcomri netted approximately C$11.83 million.

For the Film Sale Transaction, Amcomri received US$900,000 in cash. Furthermore, obligations and liabilities of 101 Films International Limited, APL, and Positivor Limited were assumed, totaling approximately C$4.03 million (based on a US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate of 1.3471).

Following the completion of these transactions, significant changes were made to Amcomri’s board of directors. Paul McGowan, Robert Price, Michael Walker, Martin Andy Lyon, and Janet Grove resigned from their positions. The current board now includes Michèle Maheux, Alexander Stojanovic, and Laurence Howard.

As a result of these transactions, Amcomri has ceased its active business operations and does not anticipate generating further financial returns beyond distributing the sale proceeds to shareholders after settling transaction costs and winding-up expenses. The exact amount and timing of any distributions to shareholders remain uncertain due to various unpredictable factors and known items that are difficult to quantify. The company commits to providing updates to shareholders based on the best available information at any given time. There is a risk that any unforeseen significant liabilities or costs during the windup process could materially reduce the distributions.

Additionally, Amcomri is evaluating the possibility of delisting its common shares from Cboe Canada Inc., either voluntarily or by Cboe Canada itself.

Further information regarding the timing and amount of any shareholder distributions and considerations about potential delisting can be found in the company’s management information circular dated July 28, 2024, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.
