  Amazon’s LOVEFiLM Signs Twentieth Century Fox Content Deal

Business Wire

LONDON -- June 25, 2012

LOVEFiLM, an Amazon Company, and Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution
have today announced a major multi-year content deal giving LOVEFiLM members
streaming access to recent and forthcoming movies and TV series.

LOVEFiLM members will have instant, exclusive on-demand access to what is
known as the second pay television window of Twentieth Century Fox film
content.

The film deal commences with titles theatrically released in the UK in 2011,
which will be made available to subscribers to the LOVEFiLM service as early
as March 2013.

The deal with Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution will also give
LOVEFiLM members access to movies and TV series from the studio’s library of
much-loved titles, and will add to LOVEFiLM’s already extensive TV catalogue.
TV titles from Twentieth Century Fox’s television library, available from July
2012, will include early seasons of motorcycle drama Sons of Anarchy and all
seasons of 24, Prison Break, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel.

LOVEFiLM members will be able to enjoy these, and a huge range of other
titles, on-demand as part of their subscription via the LOVEFiLM Instant
service – available on the PC, Mac or via Sony Playstation®3, Microsoft Xbox
360, Apple iPad® and a growing number of Internet-connected TV sets and
Blu-ray players.

This is the latest in a long line of content deals announced by LOVEFiLM in
the past 12 months, including agreements with Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, NBC
Universal, Entertainment One, STUDIOCANAL, Disney, ABC, BBC and ITV.

Amazon’s LOVEFiLM will continue to rent Twentieth Century Fox titles on DVD,
Blu-ray and Blu-Ray 3D via its LOVEFiLM By Post service.

Jim Buckle, MD of LOVEFiLM, said: “It feels great to announce another major
studio deal for LOVEFiLM. Twentieth Century Fox is one of the world’s leading
studios, known across the globe for creating fantastic, iconic content. This
partnership will give LOVEFiLM members access to the studio’s huge range of
recent movies and the opportunity to revisit some of the best American TV
series produced in recent years.”

Gina Brogi, EVP of Worldwide Pay Television and Subscription Video on Demand
for Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution added: “We are delighted to
be partnered with LOVEFiLM on this new window for Fox films in the UK. This
film and series agreement enables us to give UK fans yet another avenue to
enjoy the great stories and characters they have come to know and love from
our studio.”
