Spackman pushes for listing of two Korean subsidiaries

The company is merging Novus Mediacorp and Frame Pictures into a combined entity.

Spackman Entertainment Group is seeking the Catalist listing of two Korean subsidiaries on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.

The company has approved the spin-off of its 51%-owned subsidiary Novus Mediacorp which it seeks to merge with Frame Pictures into a combined entity in a move that seeks to capture the growing post-theatrical and camera equipment leasing markets.

Novus Mediacorp is a post-theatrical distributor of Korean films whilst Frame Pictures is a Korean movie/drama equipment leasing player. The two companies were acquired by Spackman following its IPO.

"Despite our turnaround to profitability and accretive acquisitions, our valuation remains significantly lower than our industry peers. Therefore, we seek to restructure our Group through this Proposed Listing to unlock the value of our non-core subsidiaries, Novus Mediacorp and Frame Pictures,” said interim CEO Richard Lee.

Spackman has tapped RHT Capital as the financial adviser for the proposed spin-off and listing.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
