Press speculation regarding film release "Kaminey" 
"Kaminey" releasing tomorrow in theatres worldwide 
 
 
 
Further to the announcement made by UTV Software Communications Ltd. the parent 
Company of UMP Plc (AIM: UMP) (the "Company" or "UMP") to the Stock Exchange, 
Mumbai, today,  regarding press speculations about UMP's film release Kaminey 
(the "Film"), the Board of the Company would like to clarify that the Film will 
be released as scheduled worldwide this week. 
 
 
Further to the decision of the Maharashtra state government to close cinemas for 
three days in  Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai (the "Mumbai Region") in response 
to rising swine flu deaths, the Directors expect that the release of the Film in 
the Mumbai Region will be delayed by 2-3 days, dependent on the decision made by 
the state government authorities. However, the movie will be released world wide 
tomorrow, except in the Mumbai Region. 
 
 
The Mumbai Region constitutes approximately 10-15 percent of the total 
theatrical revenue share. Based on the current decision of the state government 
authorities, the Directors believe that UMP will be able to release the Film 
next week in theatres across the Mumbai Region and the pay per view and video on 
demand for the Film will be available to all five DTH operators in India as 
planned. The music and home video rights for the Film have already been pre-sold 
to T-Series and Moser Baer. 
 
 
In order to reduce any possible negative impact from the Company not being able 
to screen the Film in theatres across the Mumbai Region over the opening weekend 
of the Film, the Company has arranged for paid previews at a premium ticket 
price of the Film tonight in 200 theatres across  India, other than the Mumbai 
Region. 
 
 
An extensive media campaign for the Film has generated significant curiosity 
both in the domestic and international markets and the Directors anticipate a 
good response from the audiences worldwide. 
 
 
Additionally, the Board would like to announce that the Company has already 
pre-sold the rights of its first release for the quarter "Agyaat" and has two 
more movies "Aagey Se Right"  and "What's your Raashee?" lined up for release 
this quarter. 
 
 
In light of all the factors stated above, the Directors believe that the 
quarterly performance of the Company will not be impacted by the short closure 
of theatres across the Mumbai Region and look forward to releasing the Film and 
other scheduled releases in the this region as soon as cinemas in are given 
permission to re-open.
