JUMBODISET INTENDS TO ACQUIRE TF1 GAMES AND DUJARDIN

Jumbodiset has entered into exclusive discussions with the TF1 group with a
view to acquiring TF1 Games and Dujardin, the leading toy and game publishers
in France.

For Jumbodiset, the transaction would be a further step in its strategy to
develop its portfolio of products and brands with a strong heritage in the
European market.
For the TF1 group, the sale of TF1 Games is in line with TF1 Entertainment's
development strategy based on its core business: the content and flagship
brands of TF1 Group.
For TF1 Games and Dujardin, this step would further strengthen their position
in the French toy market, which is consolidating.

TF1 Games and Dujardin are publishers of classic games such as "Mille Bornes"
and "Cochon qui Rit", but also of new hits such as "Chronobomb" and "Burger
Quiz". In France, Jumbodiset publishes most of its games under license from the
well-known brand: 'Nathan'.

François Pellissier, CEO of TF1 Entertainment: "For many years, TF1
Entertainment has developed TF1 Games and Dujardin into a solid company. From
now on, we want to refocus our activities on our core business: value-added
content and services for companies. We entered into exclusive discussions with
Jumbodiset who shares our vision of the market to support the growth of TF1
Games and Dujardin."

Joan Ferrer, CEO of Jumbodiset: "Over the last 20 years we have built our
company from scratch into a recognised and highly regarded toy and game
publisher for consumers and retailers. By taking this step, we should
considerably accelerate our vision of the company. The combined strength of the
products and the depth of distribution would create a unique opportunity to
serve the French consumer even better".
