Metrodome Group plc

('Metrodome' or the 'Company')

Acquisition of Target

Metrodome, (AIM: MRM), the independent all-rights distributor, is pleased to announce that it has purchased the entire issued share capital of Target Entertainment Limited ('Target') a wholly owned subsidiary of TEGL Limited ('TEGL').

Founded in 1998, Target is a TV distribution rights management business. It has a broad international network and a substantial catalogue of rights across a broad range of genres, including drama, documentary, comedy and kids' entertainment.

Target's turnover for the year ended 31 December 2009 was £13.8m. Target made a Loss Before Tax of £727,000, after exceptional items of £438,000. Gross Assets for the same period were £2.8 million. The majority of the loss in 2009 was attributable to reorganisation costs and interest on borrowings, with EBITDA for the same period showing a loss of approximately £70,000.

The total consideration for Target is £800,000 of which £400,000 is provided from the Company's resources with the remaining £400,000 being provided by the issue of 4%  Loan Notes, convertible by the holder at 2 pence  which equates to a premium of 45% to the mid market price on 13 August 2010. A further £700,000 of Loan Notes have been issued on identical terms to provide working capital for the Enlarged Group. All of these Loan Notes have been subscribed by Mark Webster, Executive Chairman of the Company.

As Mark Webster is both a Director and significant shareholder of the Company, the Acquisition and the issue of the Notes are considered to be related party transactions for the purposes of AIM Rule 13. The Independent Directors, having consulted with Charles Stanley, the Company's nominated adviser, consider the terms of the Acquisition to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

Mark Webster, Chief Executive of Metrodome, commented:

"I am delighted to have completed this acquisition of Target, which was ranked by Broadcast Magazine as one of the top five most used distributors by independent producers. Target will provide the Company with penetration into a well established TV distribution library with circa 6,000 hours of content. As such I am confident that the strong global network of relationships will form the basis of Metrodome's future strategy of becoming a diversified media business, and furthermore will strengthen and enhance future earnings for the Company."
