Mittleman Brothers Releases Presentation Noting Concerns about Proposed BGH Capital-led Management Buy-Out of Village Roadshow Ltd.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Mittleman Investment Management, LLC ("Mittleman Brothers" or "we"), an 
SEC-registered investment advisor, through its managed accounts, and its parent 
company, Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM), combined represent the 2nd largest shareholding 
of Village Roadshow Ltd. ("VRL" or "the Company") (ASX: VRL) with a 15.1% stake 
as of November 25, 2020.

Mittleman Brothers today posted a presentation on its website which describes 
the concerns we have regarding the currently proposed takeover of Village 
Roadshow by BGH Capital in partnership with Village Roadshow's controlling 
shareholders.  We believe these concerns should be addressed by the Company so 
that a fully informed shareholder vote can occur at the virtual meeting to be 
held on December 7, 2020.

The current A$2.95 to A$3.00 range of best outcomes provided still appears 
unfairly low versus our estimate of indicative fair value which is currently 
A$5.24 per share and described in more detail in the presentation.

We are currently evaluating the new offer and awaiting further information 
before we determine how we intend to vote our shares.
