LOS ANGELES-- Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) (the “Company” or “Cinedigm”) today announced that on November 20, 2017, Cinedigm received written notification from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) that it will not take action to prevent, unwind, or require any modifications to, the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2017 by and between the Company and Bison Entertainment Investment Limited (the “Agreement”). CFIUS approval was a condition to closing the transactions under the Agreement, but the condition was waived and the transactions were consummated on November 1, 2017. The review by CFIUS is now concluded.

Bison Capital now beneficially owns a majority of Cinedigm’s outstanding Class A Common Stock and Mr. Peixin Xu and Mr. Peng Jin, both Directors of Bison Capital, have joined the Company’s Board of Directors.

Founded by Mr. Peixin Xu in 2014, Bison Capital has made multiple investments in film and TV production, film distribution and entertainment-related mobile Internet services, including Bona Film, Xunlei and Weiying Technologies.

“We are very pleased to have received CFIUS approval, as we expected,” said Chris McGurk, Cinedigm Chairman and CEO. “The Bison transaction has strengthened our balance sheet and provided a strong partner with which to build our content distribution and OTT channel businesses in China, the world’s fastest growing major entertainment market, while further expanding those businesses in North America, the world’s largest entertainment market.”
