Investor Guide

Thank you for your interest in NOLLYWOOD ACADEMY LONDON. It is with pleasure that we are able to present details relating to the Project Development Fund investment package for your consideration. The total production budget for the current Nollywood Academy portfolio is in the tune of US$100 million. With such a diverse range of projects through varying countries it is understandable therefore that individual investment packages and funding schemes will vary considerably from project to project. Notes below are therefore provided to indicate a general guideline only and may vary according to specific projects.

Areas Covered

1. PROJECT PRODUCTION FUNDING
Total Production Funding as stated above to consist of corporate and/or personal equity investments and other funding and co-production deals and finalization
of key sponsors for all projects.

2. DEVELOPMENT FUND
The Development Fund is the sum total required to develop the various scripts and concepts into a structure suitable for presentation to those investors willing to finance the overall production costs. The Development Fund is integral to the successful procurement of Financing, but with the higher level of associated risk, it is also structured to provide the investors with higher than normal returns. As with any investment we do advise any potential investor to consult their accountants/solicitors before any agreements are entered into. Development Fund investments are made without any obvious collateral and should be undertaken with the knowledge that recoupments are based entirely on the project’s performance in the market. Your accountant/solicitor will be able to advise you should you wish to write off any loss against TAX as a backdrop position. Individual investors will enter into a contractual agreement with Nollywood Academy International Film & TV Productions Ltd (and/or where applicable any other company 'vehicle' set up to support the individual projects ) where the principal investment is repaid to the investor as soon as recoupment allows. Recoupment will be forwarded once sales have completed in participating territories and after financiers have recouped their positions within the project financing. The Development Fund will provide working capital for Nollywood Academy International to complete the following:

• Script rights purchases - Step deals (usual)
• Script development - Script Editor fees
• Producer’s travel expenses re sales/distribution markets/ Pre-sales financing
• Appointment of Director and other key personnel
