Press release from: YuuZoo Networks Group Corporation

Bangkok,19th June 2019: Singapore-listed investment holding company
YuuZoo Corporation Limited (“YuuZoo” or “the Company”) (SGX: AFC) today
announced that during the time the shares of the Company have been
suspended, it has received a 3 MUSD (4.1 million SGD) investment from a
large foreign investor. The investor has received a 2.91% ownership in
YuuFlix, corresponding to a valuation of 100 MUSD (SGD 137 million) for the
subsidiary. The investment has been fully paid.
YuuFlix has for its streaming video service signed agreements with more than 60 content partners
in multiple countries who supply YuuFlix with content in the areas of entertainment, fashion,
beauty, lifestyle, documentaries and gaming.
As part of its video and content strategy, YuuZoo had earlier acquired France’s leading DVD
distributor Cinram France. Cinram France held distribution agreements with several leading global
movie studios such as Universal, Fox, Warner etc. The plan was to expand these relationships to
also include YuuFlix.
As a result of the share trading suspension imposed on YuuZoo by SGX, the Company however
lost its French investment.
YuuFlix therefore decided to focus on local independent content. Unlike many other video and
movie platforms, such as Netflix, iFlix, HBO Go and IndieFlix, YuuFlix provides an interactive
platform where consumers can buy and view content under various usage models including
subscription, (SVOD), advertising-supported (AVOD) and transactional single content downloads
(TVOD). YuuFlix is in discussions with value-adding local marketing partners in several markets
in Asia, Africa and Europe.
