PINEWOOD SHEPPERTON PLC

PINEWOOD IN NEGOTIATIONS TO ADVISE ON £25 MILLION MEDIA DEVELOPMENT FUND

Further to the announcement on 30 May 2012 in which the Board announced that it is considering a proposal to manage a third party film fund, Pinewood Shepperton plc ("the Company"), a leading provider of services to the global film and television industry announces today that it is negotiating a binding agreement with the Government of the Isle of Man ("IOM") for the Company to source and advise on film investment opportunities for its £25 million Media Development Fund ("MDF") for an initial term of 5 years. If the Company enters into an agreement to advise the MDF, it is proposed that a core team from CinemaNX (the current adviser to the MDF) will join the Company to provide continuity.

The Company notes the 4 June 2012 resolution tabled by the Minister for the Treasury, IOM, that the "Treasury be authorised but not required to expend from the reserve fund an amount of up to £24 million to purchase up to 19.9% of the ordinary shares of Pinewood Shepperton plc from its shareholders, if satisfactory terms can be agreed in connection with this proposal." The resolution requires the consent of the Tynwald (Isle of Man Parliament).

A further announcement will be made in due course.
