Obligation of the Shareholders. Majority Shareholders shall jointly and severally indemnify
and hold harmless Buyer Entities and their shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers,

| d. | Time
Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall
be entitled to recover for any Losses for non-Fundamental Representations pursuant to Section
9(b)(i) or Section 9(c)(i) (as the case may be) unless written notice of a claim
thereof is delivered to the other parties no later than the Limitation Date. For the purposes
of this Agreement, the term “Limitation Date” shall mean the date
which is 9 months following the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Fundamental
Representations” shall mean the representations and warranties described in
Sections 3(a) (Authority), 3(b) (Organization), 3(c) (Company Shares),

on Indemnification. Majority Shareholders will have no liability with respect to matters
described in Section 9(b)(i) until Buyer Indemnitees have suffered an aggregate loss
in excess of $150,000.00 (the “Threshold”), in which event the
Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification from Majority Shareholders for all
amounts in excess of the Threshold. Majority Shareholders’ obligation under Section
9(b) for any Damages incurred under Section 9(b) shall be capped at the value
of Majority Shareholders’ Parent Shares at the time the claim for indemnification under
Section9(b) is made. |
|
f. |
Procedure for Indemnification. |
| (1) | Third-Party
Claims. If any party receives notice (the “Indemnified Party”)
of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made
or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party
Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the other Party
(the “Indemnifying Party”) is obligated to provide indemnification
under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written
notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve
the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice
by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall
include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated
amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written
notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying
Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, such counsel being
reasonably approved by Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good
faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any
Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid,
dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in
the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right,
at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with
counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense
thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim
or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as
provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party
Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating
to such Third-Party Claim. Shareholders’ Representative and Purchaser shall cooperate
with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party
Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6(c)) records
relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement
of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending
party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party
Claim. |
| (2) | Settlement
of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying
Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written
consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the
creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides,
in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities
and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires
to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that
effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer
within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest
or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying
Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer.
If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense
of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the
terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party
has assumed the defense, it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent
of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). |
| (3) | Direct
Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result
from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by
the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure
to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of
its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party
forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party
shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material
written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable,
of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying
Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct
Claim. During such 30-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party
and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise
to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the
Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation
by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises
and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the
Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying
Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed
to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue
such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the
provisions of this Agreement. |

of Shareholders’ Representative. Shareholders agree that Buyer Entities shall be

representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any
way to the subject matter hereof. |
| b. | Amendment
and Modification; Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall
be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer Entities and Shareholders’

affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. |
| c. | Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
Laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision

and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. |

OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE CONTEMPLATED
TRANSACTIONS, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. |

and the other Transaction Documents were not performed by the other party in accordance with
their specific terms or were otherwise breached by the parties hereto: (i) irreparable damage
would occur to the non-breaching party, (ii) no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages
would be difficult to determine and (iii) that the non-breaching party shall be entitled
to specific performance of the terms hereof and thereof. The parties further agree that no
party hereto or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or
similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred
to in this Section 11(f), and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may
have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. |

not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation,
warranty, or covenant. |

2.1.1 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration Request,” and the registration so requested is referred
to herein as a “Demand Registration” (with respect to any Demand Registration, the Demanding Holders making
such demand for registration being referred to as the “Initiating Holders”). Subject to Section 2.3,
the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to request (and the Company shall be required to effect) an aggregate of one (1) Demand Registration
in any twelve (12)-month period pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 with respect to any or all Registrable Securities; provided,
however, that a Demand Registration shall not be counted for such purposes unless a Registration Statement has become effective;
provided, further, that a Demand Registration shall be counted for such purposes if all of the Registrable Securities requested
by the Demanding Holders to be registered on behalf of the Demanding Holders in such Demand Registration have been so registered. The
Company shall give written notice (the “Demand Exercise Notice”) of such Demand Registration Request to each
of the Holders of record of Registrable Securities as promptly as practicable but no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt
of the Demand Registration Request. The Company, subject to Section 2.3, shall include in a Demand Registration (a) the Registrable
Securities of the Initiating Holders and (b) the Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Registrable Securities which shall have
made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such registration pursuant to Subsection 2.1.1 (which request shall specify

of any such Demand Exercise Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but subject to Section 2.3, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to (i) file or confidentially submit with the Commission (no later than (A) thirty (30) days from the Company’s
receipt of the applicable Demand Registration Request if the Demand Registration is on Form S-1 or similar long-form registration or

Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration), (ii) cause to be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable such registration
statement under the Securities Act that includes the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register, for distribution
in accordance with the intended method of distribution and (iii) if requested by the Initiating Holders, obtain acceleration of the effective
date of the registration statement relating to such registration.

then be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior
to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.1.2.
2.2
Piggyback Registration.
2.2.1
Piggyback Rights. If, at any time on or after

securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account
or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including, without limitation,
pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (a) filed in connection with any employee stock option or
other benefit plan, (b) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing stockholders, (c) for
an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (d) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company
shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less
than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement, which notice shall (i) describe the amount and
type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter
or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (ii) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to register
the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written
notice (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable
Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter
or Underwriters of a proposed offering that is underwritten (an “Underwritten Offering”) to permit the Registrable
Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this subsection 2.2.1 to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms
and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such Registration and to permit the sale or other disposition of
such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All such Holders proposing to distribute
their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this subsection 2.2.1 shall enter into an underwriting agreement
in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Company; provided, that no Holder shall be required

the Common Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration

account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (i) the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires
to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities
has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their
Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 hereof pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that
such Holder has requested be included in such Registration (“Pro Rata”), which can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back
registration rights of other stockholders of the Company entered into after the date hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding
the Maximum Number of Securities;
(b)
If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons
or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (i) the Common
Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities,
which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not
been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable
Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1, Pro Rata based on the number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested
be included in such Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in
such Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Common Shares or other equity securities that the Company
desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iv) to the extent that the Maximum Number
of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Common Shares or other equity securities for
the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements
entered into after the date hereof with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
2.2.3
Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder
of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written
notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback
Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration.
The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate
written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration
at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal
under this subsection 2.2.3.
2.2.4
Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights.

to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer.

use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of
any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, or (b) require the inclusion in such Registration
Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company may,
upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such

upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale
or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which
it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4, and, upon the expiration of any such period, the Holders shall be entitled to
resume the use of any such Prospectus in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.
3.5
Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder
shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to
file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by
the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants
that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such
Holder to sell the Common Shares subject to this Agreement and held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within
the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter
by the Commission), including providing any customary legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such
Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

INDEMNIFICATION
AND CONTRIBUTION
4.1
Indemnification.
4.1.1
The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless,
to the greatest extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, the partners, members, managers, officers, directors
and stockholders of each such Holder and each other person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation any legal or other fees and expenses incurred thereby
in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, and pay promptly as any such expenses
are incurred) (collectively, “Damages”), whether joint or several, caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading (except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such
Holder expressly for use therein), and any violation or alleged violation by the Company (or any of its agents or affiliates) of the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, or any state securities law.
4.1.2
In connection with any Registration Statement in
which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits
as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted
by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and stockholders and each person who controls
the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act), and any other Holder selling securities in such Registration Statement, and any
controlling person of any such other Holder, against any Damages resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission
or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but
only to the extent that such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished
in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several,
not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities
shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to
such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each
person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with
respect to indemnification of the Company.
4.1.3
Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall
(a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the
failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not
materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the
defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party
shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be
obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying
party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between
such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the
consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects
by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement
does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from
all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
4.1.4
The indemnification provided for under this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director
or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable
Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for
contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.
4.1.5
If the indemnification provided under Section
4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Damages
referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying
party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information
supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the
liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder
in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3
above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined
by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

Strong
Global Entertainment, Inc. Acquires Premiere Video Production Services Agency, Unbounded Media Corporation, to Further Strengthen and
Diversify Its Production Services Portfolio
Marks
First Acquisition in Broader Strategy to Acquire Portfolio of Multi-Disciplined Content and Services Companies
Addition
of Short Form Content Services Adds Predictive Revenues and Another Platform to Accelerate Expansion
Charlotte,
N.C., September 13, 2023: Strong Global Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE American: SGE) (“SGE” or the “Company”)
today announced the acquisition of Unbounded Media Corporation (“UMC”), an independent media and creative production
company. Founded by Peter Odiorne, Larry Swets and Hassan Baqar, UMC develops, creates and produces film, advertising, and branded content
for a broad range of clients. UMC will operate under SGE’s original content production and distribution arm Strong Studios,
Inc. (“Strong Studios”) (Safehaven, Flagrant, Inside the Black Box).
In
an all-stock transaction, the deal with UMC marks the first acquisition in a broader strategy to acquire a portfolio of multi-disciplined
content and services companies. Larry Swets will spearhead the acquisition strategy as Chairman of the studio and production division.
Peter Odiorne will serve as Chief Content Officer, and Matt Harton as Managing Director.
UMC,
in partnership with Strong Studios, will also further develop its original IP portfolio, under its Fieldhouse Entertainment division,
which currently includes feature films, Into the Storm, Atomic Tourists and Footsteps of a Giant, employing Strong
Studios’ long form production expertise and industry network. Additionally, the alliance offers Strong Studios the potential to
utilize UMC’s brand relationships to create sponsorship opportunities to develop film and television projects.
Mark
Roberson, CEO of SGE stated: “Through this strategic acquisition, Strong Studios, along with UMC, will be in a position to
expand UMC’s short form content services business adding predictable revenue streams and creating a platform to accelerate expansion
of our production services capabilities.”
“UMC
distinguishes itself by producing video content directly for brands, offering efficient and cost-effective solutions. This approach eliminates
the inefficiencies present in the traditional, segmented model of advertising agency creative, production and post-production,”
said Odiorne. “With this acquisition, the first in our corporate strategy, UMC further strengthens its position through
collaborative integration with the SGE family. Together, we will consistently deliver effective video content for brands and their consumers.”
David
Ozer, President of Strong Studios commented: “Acquiring UMC allows Strong Studios to leverage the skills and network of the
existing businesses as well as to cross pollinate. There is significant cross-over of creative skills in the short form production business
with long form film and television projects that could significantly enhance our overall profit potential. As we continue to build SGE
and Strong Studios’ position in the global entertainment marketplace, we look forward to expanding our production capabilities
and our original IP pipeline.”
