SRM And Suretone Entertainment's Suretone Pictures Are In Negotiations To Form An Alliance Capitalizing On Suretone Pictures' Film Productions, TV Content Creation, Existing Library And Distribution Strength Alongside SRM's Ongoing Merchandise, Manufacturing And Distribution Businesses As Engaged In Providing Its Services To The Major Film Studios
SRM Entertainment, Inc., (NASDAQ:SRM) (the "Company" or "SRM") SRM and Suretone Entertainment's Suretone Pictures are in negotiations to form an alliance capitalizing on Suretone Pictures' film productions, tv content creation, existing library and distribution strength alongside SRM's ongoing merchandise, manufacturing and distribution businesses as engaged in providing its services to the major film studios. The initial transaction was closed on September 3, 2024 with the transfer of the first of several valuable film assets transferred by Suretone Pictures to SRM. SRM and Suretone Entertainment's Suretone Pictures are engaged in far-reaching discussions to jointly create a new media company using certain assets of Suretone Pictures as the two companies intend to come together to build a multi-film asset and IP based library with an innovative plan towards distribution, merchandising and production.
The companies have set an agenda with a goal to merge Suretone Pictures' assets into SRM in early to mid 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Jordan Schur, Suretone Pictures' President, will initially join SRM as an advisor bringing several decades of movie and media experience to lead the endeavor as he looks to manage jointly controlled movie assets and content creation to drive the strategic media combination forward. Schur will guide the venture as he oversees various film-making endeavors, as well as spearhead movie acquisition and related merchandising efforts for the companies with Suretone Pictures' film and tv industries partners.
SRM and Suretone Entertainment recently completed their first media deal with SRM acquiring certain Suretone Pictures film assets. Under the agreement, these initial assets will become part of SRM's media library, allowing SRM to own and exploit the initial film assets' merchandising, licensing fees and revenue. SRM and Suretone view this transaction as the first stage in an overall larger transaction to join forces toward creating a valuable media franchise business. Further announcements on subsequent stages are expected shortly.
