customers. As owners of Nice, we remain committed to cultivating the Playroom
concept as part of a larger organisation, " says Jens Nesse of Playroom.

"The acquisition of Playroom supports the strategic objectives of Nice as it
emphasizes the group´s position as a leading Nordic content production group. As
majority owners we will continue to further develop the Nice group of companies
in order to achieve valuable synergies, " says Olli Liitola, Senior Partner in

Nice was founded by merging Finnish Moskito Group, Norwegian Monster Group and
Swedish Baluba Group. In 2009, Nice acquired Danish Gong, thereby expanding its
presence across the Nordic countries. In 2011, Nice further strengthened its
position in the largest market for Nordic television production by acquiring
Titan, a leading production company in Sweden.

CapMan Buyout VIII fund, in which the CapMan Group is a substantial investor,
holds a majority share in Nice, while the group´s management and key employees
are minority shareholders. Following the acquisition, the founders of Playroom
will also become shareholders of Nice.

Completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions being fulfilled
and is expected to occur during June 2012.
