June 30, 2016Press Release
Vienna (Austria) and Li ge (Belgium), 30 June 2016/ CinemaNext (Ymagis Group - ISIN: FR0011471291 TICKER: MAGIS), the specialist in exhibitor services for the motion picture industry, today announced an agreement with Austrian cinema chain Cineplexx, a subsidiary of Constantin Film Holding GmbH., to deploy the company's proprietary Melody Theatre Management System (TMS) and Symphony circuit management software across its entire network. This represents a total of 228 screens and 31 different sites. The roll-out is expected to begin this summer at all Cineplexx cinemas located in Austria, Italy, Croatia, Albania, Montenegro and Serbia.
The deal was concluded during last week's CineEurope, the European convention for major, regional and independent cinema exhibitors, in Barcelona (Spain).
Selecting both Melody TMS and Symphony is a tremendous vote of confidence for our technologies from Cineplexx, which is known for being at the forefront of technological innovations in Europe, explains Christof Federle, CinemaNext Regional Manager for Austria and Eastern Europe. Currently operating on 1,300 screens, Melody is a fully-featured TMS at the cutting edge of technology. We are constantly working to adapt this solution to exhibitors' evolving needs such as the upcoming mobile app, which allows users to transform the auditorium into a conference room by controlling every feature (projection, sound, light). Our brand new software solution for cinema chains, Symphony, helps connect, visualize and oversee a widespread group of cinema complexes from one central site resulting in significant time savings by allowing users to remotely schedule all shows for their cinema network .
We are thrilled to strengthen our collaboration with CinemaNext by deploying their innovative proprietary Symphony and Melody TMS solutions in our cinemas, said Christian Langhammer, Managing Director of Constantin Film Group in Austria. The fact that these new reliable solutions have been designed and produced from an exhibitor perspective to be as intuitive as possible as well as allow the automation of many time-consuming and error-prone processes is essential to delivering trouble-free and superior cinematic experiences to moviegoers.
The Melody TMS is compatible with any third-party software (e.g., digital signage, points of sale), making it fully automated and therefore requiring less human intervention. It is also interoperable with all existing server technologies. Symphony provides a real-time monitoring interface that allows exhibitors to ensure cinemas are running smoothly and help detect any potential errors. Later this year, local cinema exhibitors will no longer need to spend time programming every week as they will have the ability to use centralized playlists and schedules created by central booking department across all cinemas.

ABOUT CONSTANTIN FILM HOLDING GMBH
The film distributor Constantin Film Holding GmbH was founded in Austria in 1951. A second mainstay was created at the end of the 1960s in the segment of cine operations. In this segment, 25 traditional cinemas and cinema centres were operated until the beginning of the 1990s and, following a structural change, the Cineplexx Cine Operations GmbH, a subsidiary company of the Constantin Film Holding GmbH, was founded in 1993. The business developed during a time when many traditional cinemas in Austria were disappearing and multiplex movie theatres were conquering the market. Constantin Film reacted to this trend by establishing a group of 19 cinemas and 153 screens in Austria. Additionally, traditional movie theatres with up to 18 halls existed. In 2009, Cineplexx INTERNATIONAL GmbH started expanding to Austrias neighbouring countries and the first cinema outside Austria was opened in Bolzano, South Tyrol. Cineplexx also took over a cinema in Zagrebs city centre, thus laying the foundation for expansion into Croatia. Further Cineplexx cinemas followed in 2011 and 2012 in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia. In 2013 Cineplexx established five multiplex movie theatres in Slovenia and the first seven-hall cinema in Albania. The
