LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) (the "Company" or "Cinedigm") today announced the settlement in full of the shares it purchased pursuant to the previously announced forward stock purchase transaction (the "Forward Stock Purchase Transaction") in April 2015. Pursuant to the Forward Stock Purchase Transaction, the Company purchased 1,179,138 (adjusted for the Company's reverse stock split in May 2016) shares of its Class A common stock from Société Générale (the "Forward Counterparty") in order to facilitate privately negotiated derivative transactions between the Forward Counterparty and holders of the Company's 5.5% Convertible Notes due 2035, all of which were recently cancelled, as previously announced. In light of such cancellations, the Forward Counterparty has settled all of such shares earlier than the contractual settlement date of April 2020 by delivering the shares to the Company. The shares have been placed in treasury and are no longer outstanding.

"We are pleased that the forward purchase facility served its purpose and is now concluded, resulting in fewer shares outstanding and a slight increase in existing shareholders' ownership percentage," said Chris McGurk, Cinedigm Chairman and CEO.
