08 July 2008: For immediate release
RE: Employment arrangements of Andy Heyward in connection with the Merger
In connection with the proposed merger of DIC (as announced and described therein on 20 June 2008) (the "Merger"), Andy Heyward,
chairman of DIC, and DIC have agreed to enter into a termination agreement with respect to his current employment agreement with DIC (the
"DIC Employment Agreement" and "Termination") dated 7 July 2008.
The Termination shall not constitute a termination of Mr. Heyward's employment with DIC and Mr. Heyward shall otherwise remain an
employee "at will" and shall maintain all of his current positions as an officer of DIC and its subsidiaries. Not less than two weeks
following the Termination, Mr. Heyward is expected to enter into a new employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with DIC
Entertainment Corporation, a subsidiary of DIC. The entry, by Mr. Heyward, into the Employment Agreement is a condition to closing of the
Merger.
The effectiveness of the Employment Agreement is conditional upon successful closing of the Merger and should closing of the Merger not
occur, it is expected that Mr. Heyward will sign a new contract of employment on the same terms contained in the DIC Employment Agreement.
Further details of the Merger and the Termination are set out in DIC's proxy statement issued to its common stockholders and dated 30
June 2008 ("Proxy Statement"). A copy of the Proxy Statement can be found on DIC's website (www.dicentertainment.com).
