Notice of Results

 

Zinc Media Group plc (AIM: ZIN), the television and content production group,
is pleased to announce that it has been recommissioned by the BBC for a second
series of The Celebrity Inner Circle for BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

 

The recommission sees the series extended to 8 x 45' episodes, up from 6
episodes in the first series, reflecting the show's strong performance and the
BBC's confidence in the format.

 

The Celebrity Inner Circle is a returnable quiz format hosted by Amanda
Holden, combining celebrity talent with members of the public in a high-stakes
quiz environment. The recommission marks continued progress in Zinc's strategy
to grow its entertainment output as a core pillar of the Group, alongside
factual and branded content.

 

The series is produced by Tern, Zinc Media Group's label in Scotland, with
Zinc retaining rights in the programme and underlying format.  The series
will be sold internationally by BBC Studios, creating a clear pathway to
additional long-term value through global distribution and format sales
alongside primary UK commissions.

 

This recommission further strengthens Zinc's portfolio of returning IP,
supporting greater revenue visibility and underpinning the Group's strategy to
build scalable formats with international potential.

 

Mark Browning, CEO of Zinc Media Group, said:

 

"This recommission demonstrates our ability to originate and scale returning
entertainment formats, supporting our strategy of building a portfolio of
high-quality, repeatable IP.

 

Alongside UK commissions, the involvement of BBC Studios as global distributor
provides a clear pathway to international IP revenues, reinforcing the
long-term value potential of our content and the increasing visibility of
earnings across the Group."
