(?FFD?), pursuant to the letter of intent (?LOI?) previously announced on November 4, 2013.
The partnership between Gener8?s stereoscopic 3D conversion division and FFD is expected to provide capital, talent and economies of scale to service the Company?s growing clientele in Hollywood.

After closing the transaction, Vancouver-based Gener8 will continue to provide Hollywood studios with top talent, pricing, quality, security and service.

?In a short amount of time, Gener8 has proven that best-in-class technology and production standards can co-exist with sustainable business practices, ? says Liu Yong, FFD Chairman. ?FFD is excited to be joining Rory and his team in setting the precedent for successful partnerships between North American and Chinese studios and further augmenting an already successful Gener8. For all of Gener8?s clients, it will be business as usual, just bigger and better."
Under the terms of the agreement Gener8 will transfer its existing 3D business to a new company which will continue to be managed from Vancouver following closing by Gener8?s leadership, creative and production teams, and the parties will enter into a shareholders agreement which will require unanimous consent for most operating and investment decisions on a going forward basis. FFD will pay Gener8 $15 million for 60% of the Vancouver-based 3D conversion partnership. The Company?s board of directors, consisting of representatives from FFD and Gener8, will ensure the right project team, security and location is used for each client?s needs.
