13. Additional information:

On 1 June 2010, Zodiak Entertainment S.A.S. ("ZEN") entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with (among others) CF I Invest C.V. and Cyrte Investments B.V. pursuant to which ZEN agreed to purchase 6,720,902 ordinary shares (the "Shares") in Shed Media PLC (the "SPA"). On 28 July 2010, the final condition to the Sale Agreement beyond the control of the parties was satisfied.

 

Other conditions to the Sale Agreement, which were within the control of the parties, remained outstanding after that date and the transfer of the Shares to ZEN was therefore not completed on the 28 July 2010.

 

On 14 September 2010, which was the due date for completion of the transfer of the Shares, CF I Invest C.V. exercised its right under the SPA to terminate the SPA. This right became exercisable due to the closing mid market price of ordinary shares in Shed Media PLC as quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange on the business day prior to completion of the SPA being more than 25% higher than the consideration per Share payable under the SPA.

 

Percentage figures in this notification are based on a total number of voting rights in Shed Media PLC of 86,833,639 as announced by Shed Media PLC on 8 July 2010.
