About Spackman Entertainment Group Limited
Spackman Entertainment Group Limited ("SEGL") is a leading entertainment
production company that is primarily engaged in the independent development,
production, and financing of theatrical motion pictures in Korea.
Its two wholly-owned motion picture production subsidiaries, namely, Zip Cinema
Co., Ltd. ("Zip") and Opus Pictures Limited Liability Company ("Opus"), are two
of the most recognized film production labels in Korea, and have originated and
produced some of Korea's most commercially successful theatrical films for the
past seven years. Films produced by Zip and Opus are theatrically distributed
and released in Korea and overseas markets, as well as for subsequent
post-theatrical worldwide release in other forms of media, including cable
television, broadcast television, IPTV, video-on-demand, and home video/DVD,
etc. Zip and Opus' motion pictures are released into wide-theatrical exhibition
initially in Korea, and then in overseas and ancillary markets.
Collectively, Zip and Opus produced and released a total of 15 theatrical motion
pictures since 2007, the majority of which were profitable and some of which
were among the top grossing films in Korea in recent years. Recent theatrical
releases of our motion pictures include some of Korea's highest grossing and
award-winning films such as SNOWPIERCER (2013), COLD EYES (2013), and ALL ABOUT
MY WIFE (2012).

the Singapore Exchange. Through this proposed listing, SEGL plans to raise
capital to expand Zip's and Opus' future slate of productions, make further
acquisitions of production businesses and brands, and for general working
capital. The listing is tentatively targeted for July 22, 2014.
