GENERAL: VGL: VGL - Movio signs contract with VUE Entertainment

MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
22 February 2016, Vista Group International Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand

MOVIO, a Vista Group International Company, Signs Deal with
Vue Entertainment, the Largest Cinema Exhibition Group in Europe,
for Movio Cinema Platform

Movio, a company of Vista Group International, and Vue Entertainment, part of
Vue International, have entered into a multi-year agreement for Movio's
flagship product Movio Cinema for deployment in 84 theatres throughout the UK
and Ireland.

The signing of the deal is significant for Movio and strategic in terms of
the European market. Vue Entertainment is a leader in the premium
entertainment "big screen" experience. Its parent company, Vue
International, is one of the largest cinema groups outside the United States,
and has led the way in consolidation in the cinema market as one of the
fastest growing cinema groups in Europe. Since 2012, Vue has acquired Apollo
Cinemas (United Kingdom), CinemaxX (Germany), Multikino (Poland), Space
Cinemas (Italy) and JT Bisocopen (Netherlands), spanning ten countries with
209 sites and 1,859 screens.

Movio Cinema makes it faster and more cost-efficient for cinema exhibitors to
analyse their data and execute personalised campaigns to their customers. The
seamless integration with Vista's industry-leading cinema management system -
Vista Cinema, already operational in Vue Entertainment locations, resulted in
the acquisition of the Vista Loyalty module to complement this
implementation.
