INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
The Company is offering investors a hybrid investment structure of equity ownership in the Picture, as a limited partner and passive
investor, alongside 100% of the principal investment plus a preferred return of 20% of the investment compounded annually.
For their investment, equity investors (“Investment Partners”) investment recoupment will be scheduled as such; a 90%-10% split
between the investors and the producers of all net profits until investor has received 120% of their investment. The 10% to the producers
is to insure that we can continue to pay for the lawyers, accountants, and other related expenses in recouping all revenue generated my the
film.
• Once the Investors have recouped 120% for their investment then all subsequent net receipts will be divided 50/50, split between
investors and producers.
• All "Back-end" points and deferments will be deducted from the Producer's Profit.
EXIT / PAYBACK STRATEGY
The Company will implement strategic production partnerships and business relationships for the Picture, utilizing tax credits and
subsidies, branded content and product placement/corporate sponsorship; and domestic/international pre-sales in order to expedite
recoupment and insure the investment in the project. As soft monies return into the fold, via pre-sales, additional subsidies or assorted
contracts recouped early in the production process of the Picture, will serve to streamline all avenues to returning investment. With
20-30% of the true cost of the film already covered by discounted/deferred-fee production partnerships, favorable exchange rates, and tax
credits/subsidies, the remaining 70-80% equity exposed will be in first position against remaining revenue streams via distribution.
The Company itself will most likely max out its returns by the end of year seven, with most returns accumulated by end of year three into
year four. After the Company reaches the seven year mark it could either relicense the film to the same or another distributor, or sell the
distribution rights in perpetuity to a third party.
The Company anticipates 100%+20% payback within 24-32 months of first date of release. It believes it can achieve this because:
• The Picture is a cost-effective, commercial-intellectual property;
• The cross pollination between sponsorships, the online marketing world with the award season and the Picture will result in
massive exposure;
• Our entertainment contacts will align the Picture with the most salable foreign distribution outlets, entities, sales agents,
production partners, publicists and allies to effectively launch the Picture worldwide.
