6 Job creation based on spending on film/TV
productions

6 Virtually every dollar of the big studios annual film

budget goes into film making; we are not building
sets or studios that would require us to apply a
different multiplier

6 We don't know of any other industry where the

multipliers work so directly and easily and this is an
important reason why U.S. immigration attorneys
love our film deals

 
6 Sony Pictures Entertainment, one of the ³Big Six´ motion
picture companies, typically spends per year:
 $50 MM on an average film
 $100 MM on a few big films
 $7-10 MM on Sony Classics and Screen Gems
 $30-50 MM for a TV series
6 Approximate annual production of films:
 Columbia 10-15
 Sony Classics 8-10
 Screen Gems 10-12
6 Approximate annual production of TV Series:

6 Standard and Poor¶s credit index lists Sony Corporation and Sony
Global Treasury Services as A- companies, meaning it¶s a low risk
investment

6 So even though it is an unsecured loan, it is less risk to loan to a such

a large multi-billion dollar company like Sony Corporation with an
A- rating, than a smaller company with a lower rating and a secured
loan because such a large company has the means to repay the loan

6 Sony Pictures Entertainment will be the Borrower in the loan

agreement, Sony Global Treasury Services will be the guarantor
backed by US $36 billion in assets of Sony Corporation
