For immediate release

14 April 2014

Ingenious Media Active Capital Ltd

("IMAC" or the "Company")

Sale of Resource Team Limited ("Resource Team")

The Board of IMAC announces that its investee company, Review Centre Ltd ("Review Centre"), has today sold its 100% owned operating subsidiary, Resource Team, to Glen Collins ("Purchaser"), a director of Review Centre ("Disposal").

The consideration comprises GBP100,000 in cash ("Consideration") payable to Review Centre on completion.

IMAC has a 71.5 per cent. interest in Review Centre's issued share capital ("Shares") and also holds 93.46% of Review Centre's outstanding loan stock ("Loan Stock"). Review Centre is a consumer-generated review site which was acquired in June 2008 by IMAC in a management buy-in (MBI).

Following completion, Review Centre will then be subsequently wound-up. The Board of IMAC anticipates that on completion of the winding-up, IMAC will receive approximately GBP600,000 in repayment for its 93.46% interest in Review Centre's Loan Stock.

The net book value of IMAC's investment in Review Centre (comprising the Shares and the Loan Stock) amounted to GBP1 million as at 30 September 2013, the date of IMAC's last published balance sheet.

For the 11 months ended 28 February 2014, Review Centre's unaudited consolidated EBITDA was GBP57,019. Review Centre's consolidated net current assets as at the same date amounted to GBP606,841.

IMAC is a closed-ended, Guernsey-registered investment company which invests predominantly in unquoted media and entertainment companies. IMAC is managed by Ingenious Ventures, the private equity division of investment and advisory group, Ingenious. IMAC's investing policy is to focus on realising its existing portfolio of investments and return where possible the proceeds of any disposals to shareholders.

The Board anticipates distributing the proceeds of the Disposal to Shareholders in due course.

IMAC retains its portfolio investments in Whizz Kid Entertainment Limited, and brandRapport Group.

The Disposal is a Related Party Transaction under the AIM Rules as the Purchaser, Glen Collins, is a director of Review Centre, a 71.5% owned subsidiary of IMAC. The Board of IMAC believe, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable insofar as all shareholders are concerned.

The Board also announces that it has extended the term of Ingenious Ventures' current investment management agreement by six months to 11 October 2014 on the same terms and conditions.
