IMAX & Ster-Kinekor Expand Partnership with Two- Theater Deal in South Africa

MAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX; TSX: IMX) and Ster-Kinekor Theatres, a division of Primedia (Pty) Ltd., today announced an agreement for two further IMAX® theatres. The first Imax theatre will be added to the exhibitor's upcoming multiplex at The Grove Mall in Pretoria East in June 2014, with a second to be added to another new multiplex at the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Johannesburg in the second half of 2015. The deal brings Ster-Kinekor's Imax commitment to three theatres.

"Today's agreement is a direct result of the success of our first Imax theatre in Durban, which has been tremendously popular with our patrons and has strengthened the overall performance of our multiplex," said Fiaz Mahomed, CEO, Ster-Kinekor. "IMAX helps us deliver on our commitment to offer our guests a premium entertainment experience and we are proud to bring more movie-goers in South Africa the biggest event films in the world's most immersive format."

"Given the box office success of the first Imax theater in Durban, we are very pleased to see Ster- Kinekor commit to two additional locations in South Africa just nine months after their first opening," said Andrew Cripps, President of Imax EMEA. "South Africa was one of a number of new countries that we entered in 2013, which also included Germany, Switzerland, and Portugal, and it is clear there is a growing appetite for Imax in the market. We look forward to working with Ster-Kinekor to help build the Imax brand throughout the country."
