OFFER UPDATE

Recommended cash offer

by Deloitte Corporate Finance

on behalf of Boom Pictures Limited ("Boom Pictures")

for Boomerang Plus plc ("Boomerang")

Offer declared unconditional as to acceptances

Introduction

On 4 July 2012, the Independent Directors and board of directors of Boom Pictures announced that they had reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer to be made by Deloitte Corporate Finance on behalf of Boom Pictures for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Boomerang, excluding the Roll-over Shares. The full terms and conditions of the Offer and the procedures for acceptance are set out in the offer document issued on 4 July 2012 (the "Offer Document").

Terms defined in the Offer Document have the same meaning in this announcement unless the context requires otherwise.

Boom Pictures is pleased to announce that the Acceptance Condition has been satisfied and that the Offer is hereby declared unconditional as to acceptances.

Level of acceptances

As at 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 25 July 2012, Boom Pictures had received valid acceptances of the Offer in respect of 6,202,834 Offer Shares, representing approximately 93.8 per cent. of the total Offer Shares, which Boom Pictures may count towards the satisfaction of the Acceptance Condition of the Offer.

Of this total, Boom Pictures has received acceptances pursuant to irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer in respect of a total of 5,276,354 Boomerang Shares, representing approximately 79.7 per cent. of the Offer Shares. Of this total, valid acceptances have been received from persons acting or deemed to be acting in concert with Boom Pictures in respect of a total of 2,112,581 Boomerang Shares, representing approximately 31.9 per cent. of the Offer Shares. A total of 75,123 Boomerang Shares, representing 1.1 per cent. of the Offer Shares, remain outstanding under these irrevocable commitments.

Save as disclosed in this announcement and in paragraph 5 of Appendix IV of the Offer Document, as at 25 July 2012, the last practicable Business Day prior to this announcement, neither Boom Pictures nor, so far as Boom Pictures is aware, any person acting in concert with Boom Pictures, had an interest in or right to subscribe for relevant securities of Boomerang or had any short position in relation to relevant securities of Boomerang (whether conditional or absolute and whether in the money or otherwise), including any short position under a derivative, any agreement to sell or any delivery obligation or right to require another person to purchase or take delivery of any relevant securities of Boomerang nor has any such person borrowed or lent therein.

Save for the irrevocable undertakings described above and pursuant to the Share Exchange Deed and the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement, neither Boom Pictures nor any person acting in concert with Boom Pictures has any arrangement in relation to Boomerang Shares, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into Boomerang Shares or options (including traded options) in respect of, or derivatives referenced to, Boomerang Shares. For these purposes, "arrangement" includes any indemnity or option arrangement, any agreement or understanding, formal or informal, of whatever nature, relating to relevant securities which is, or may be, an inducement to deal or refrain from dealing in such securities.

Extension of the Offer

The Offer, which remains subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Offer Document, will remain open for acceptances until further notice. At least 14 days' notice will be given prior to the closing of the Offer to those Boomerang Shareholders who have not at the date of that notice accepted the Offer.

Shareholders of Boomerang who have not yet accepted the Offer are, therefore, encouraged to do so without delay. Acceptances of the Offer should be received in accordance with the instructions contained in the Offer Document. In the case of Boomerang Shares held in certificated form, the Form of Acceptance should be completed and returned. If you are a holder of Boomerang Shares in uncertificated form (that is in CREST), you should ensure that your TTE Instruction is settled.

If you are in any doubt about the Offer or as to the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own independent financial advice from a stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. If you are outside the UK, you should immediately consult an appropriately authorised independent financial adviser.
