IMPORTANT INFORMATION
THIS NOTICE IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
If you are in any doubt about the content of this Brochure (the Brochure) and/or any action you should
take, you are strongly recommended to seek advice immediately from a financial adviser authorised under
the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) who specialises in advising on investment opportunities
of this type. Nothing in this Brochure constitutes investment, tax, legal or other advice by Ingenious Media
(a trading division of Ingenious Capital Management Limited) (the Manager) and your attention is drawn
to the section headed Risk Factors on pages 18-21. An investment in Shelley Media EIS Autumn 2014 (the
Service) will not be suitable for all recipients of this Brochure.
This Brochure constitutes a financial promotion pursuant to Section 21 of the FSMA and is issued by the
Manager, 15 Golden Square, London, W1F 9JG, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority
in the United Kingdom. The Brochure also constitutes marketing for the purposes of the Alternative Investment
Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) and therefore includes information which is required to be provided to potential
Investors under AIFMD.
This Brochure contains information relating to Shelley Media EIS Autumn 2014 which is to comprise a number of
discretionary managed investment portfolios for its Investors which are managed by the Manager in accordance with
Investor Agreements which are all on identical terms. The Service will be looking to make investments in a number
of Qualifying Shares in a number of Investee Companies and the portfolio of each Investor shall comprise a specific
number of such Qualifying Shares in each such Investee Company. For FSMA purposes, this Brochure, therefore,
constitutes an invitation to a prospective investor to establish an Investor Agreement with the Manager. The portfolios
of the Investors collectively are not regarded as constituting promotion of the interests in an unregulated collective
investment scheme. However, for the purposes of AIFMD, it is considered that the collection of portfolios which are
managed on a common basis may constitute a collective investment undertaking and an alternative investment fund
(AIF), and consequently this Brochure is being regarded as constituting marketing of interests in an AIF.
The Manager has taken all reasonable care to ensure that the facts stated in this Brochure are true and accurate in all
material respects and that there are no material facts in respect of which omission would make any statement, fact
or opinion in this Brochure misleading. Delivery of this Brochure shall not give rise to any implication that there has
been no change in the facts set out in this Brochure since the date hereof or that the information contained herein
is correct as of any time subsequent to such date. The Manager accepts responsibility accordingly. This document is
not intended to constitute a recommendation or provide advice of any sort to any prospective investor.
Any references to tax laws or rates in this Brochure are subject to change. Past performance is not a guide to future

PART 2: INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
1. Overview
The Service presents an exciting opportunity for UK tax paying individuals and trusts to invest in EIS qualifying companies
producing original feature films and/or television programmes and, potentially, video games (Entertainment Projects)
for exploitation. It is currently anticipated that the majority of investments will be invested in companies engaged in
the production of feature films and television programmes.
The Service will be managed on behalf of each Investor on the terms of the Investor Agreement, this Brochure and
the Application Form, by Ingenious Media, a trading division of Ingenious Capital Management Limited. Ingenious
Media is part of the Ingenious Group, one of the UKs leading media advisory and investment businesses. In its role
as Manager, Ingenious Media will focus on identifying suitable Investee Companies whose business models for the
production of Entertainment Projects meet the strategy required by investors.
Despite the considerable challenges presented by the current economic climate, the sectors targeted by the Manager
continue to exhibit strong indicators for sustained growth. For example, feature films remain a popular and cheap form
of entertainment in times of reduced disposable income and current levels of theatrical box office receipts support the
industrys historic reputation for performance that is not directly correlated with wider economic trends. Against this
economic backdrop, the development and implementation of new distribution platforms and delivery technologies
provide the producers of high quality entertainment content with broader revenue generating opportunities.
2. Investment Strategy
In this context, the Manager will implement an investment strategy (the Investment Strategy) designed to achieve
the following objectives:
to take advantage of the growth trends in the media and entertainment sector by utilising the Managers
expertise and relationships to identify and secure opportunities to invest in companies producing high quality
Entertainment Projects
to commit only to Investee Companies with a business model aligned to the objectives of the Service
The combination of the implementation of this Investment Strategy and the tax benefits available under the EIS should
maximise Investors prospects of achieving attractive returns from their investment in the Service.
For the avoidance of doubt, it is not envisaged that any leverage will be involved in the Service, simply exposure to
investments in ordinary shares of those companies which are selected to be Investee Companies.
The Ingenious Group has:
global connections in the media industry including producers, broadcasters and distributors
the largest and most experienced team of independent professionals in the UK dedicated to the analysis,
commercial negotiation and monetisation of flm and television investments
15 years experience in all aspects of the development, production, distribution and fnancing of flm and
television content
extensive professional infrastructure, including a large fnance and investor relations team experienced in
accounting and reporting procedures for funds
The Manager has set a Subscription Deadline of 18 December 2014
3
, with a targeted delivery of EIS certificates
within nine to thirteen months of the date of allotment of Qualifying Shares to the Investor
4
.
4 Timing of delivery subject to factors beyond the Managers control, including HMRC response time.

BROCHURE
The Managers objective is to manage the risk for investors and maximise their potential returns by identifying
opportunities to invest in Investee Companies which will engage in the production of commercially viable Entertainment
Projects. In this context, the Manager intends to appoint one or more of its employees to the board of each of the
Investee Companies in which ordinary shares will be held by each of the Investors
5
.
It is anticipated that each Investee Company will engage in the production and exploitation of Entertainment
Projects and, in keeping with industry practice, may work with other production partners and/or production service
providers on each project.
The production process will vary depending upon the nature of the project undertaken, but it is anticipated that
the majority of Entertainment Projects will be completed within nine to fifteen months from the commencement of
production and it is likely, due to the scale of the Investee Companies in the early years, that they will only produce
one or two Entertainment Projects over each twelve month period. Each Investee Company will be required to acquire
all necessary rights to enable it to produce and exploit its Entertainment Projects.
The business model of each Investee Company should be designed to:
produce and deliver high quality Entertainment Projects that will be distributed in the domestic and international
market place with a view to commercial success
diversify risk through the production of a range of Entertainment Projects
maximise the returns on its trading activities by engaging on Entertainment Projects where it is able to secure
attractive fees for producing such projects and to negotiate an entitlement to share in the profts generated from
the exploitation of its Entertainment Projects
manage the risk on the production expenditure it incurs on each Entertainment Project by negotiating an
entitlement to presale receipts, the beneft of applicable flm, television or video games tax incentives and/or
other available revenue streams. In addition, each Investee Company will be required to obtain relevant insurance
policies and Completion Bonds (where appropriate) in order to protect it from exposure to normal industry risks
The Manager will not make an investment in any potential Investee Company without being satisfied that the company
will apply this business model on the Entertainment Projects that it greenlights. After delivery of its first Entertainment
Project, the Manager anticipates that each Investee Company will seek to undertake further projects (with a similar
approach to risk mitigation) from its existing cash-flows.
The Manager may also invest in Investee Companies engaging in the marketing or co-marketing of Entertainment
Projects under comparable business models to that outlined above. References in this Brochure to production
companies and the production of Entertainment Projects should be construed accordingly.
The Managers preference would be for Investors to take a majority stake in each Investee Company but it will also look
at co-investment with other similar services (including other services managed or operated by the Ingenious Group).
This Investment Strategy is formally recorded as the agreed investment strategy in respect of each Investor Agreement,
it is not intended that it will alter during the term of those Investor Agreements; any such alteration would require
agreement of the Manager and each Investor.
5 Shares in Investee Companies will be held by a custodian on behalf of Investors.

3. The Market for Entertainment Projects
Film
Britain has a wide and deep pool of talent in all areas of film-making including writing, acting, producing and directing.
UK films generated US $5.3 billion worldwide at the box office in 2012
6
, accounting for 15.3% of the global box
office revenues. The market share of UK films in the largest market, North America, was 16.2%, representing over
US$1,737 million of box office receipts
7
.
2013 was a strong year for the UK film industry. Projected UK box office receipts hit US$1.88 billion, and UK box
office revenues are expected to grow to US$2.16 billion by 2018
8
. This proves the strength of the UK theatrical
market as annual growth was sustained without reliance on a single title (such as Skyfall in 2012) to drive revenues.
Filmed entertainment (the sector anticipated to provide the majority of Entertainment Project opportunities for the
Investee Companies) is a sector that continues to display significant growth potential. Worldwide revenues from
filmed entertainment through theatrical release, video/DVD and online are anticipated to grow to US$110 billion by
2018 from 2013s level of US $88 billion
9
, representing a compound annual growth forecast of 3.6%. This is in part
driven by the resilience of theatrical revenues (which have historically proven able to withstand and even benefit from
the pressures of economic downturns
10
) and renewed growth in the home video market following several years of
decline. This positive trend is driven by an increasing number of consumers using digital platforms to watch content
such that the electronic home video market is expected to exceed physical disc sales and rental by 2018
11
.
Notable sector performance highlights and developments include:
Projected global box ofce revenues in 2013 were US$36.2 billion, and revenues in 2014 are expected to show a
further annual increase of 5.3%. Global box ofce is forecast to grow to US$45.9 billion by 2018 at a compound
annual growth rate of 4.9%
12

The US market accounts for approximately 35% of the 2013 total global revenues and EMEA (Europe, Middle
East, Africa) a further 29%
13
. The UK is the third largest territory in the world (after the US and Japan) with an
approximate 7% share of the global market
The British Film Industry
The economic and cultural importance of film has often led to government intervention to support national film
industries and to attract overseas investment, principally from the US, in competition with other countries. In the five
years to 2006, following the introduction of further tax incentives in respect of film expenditure in 1997, British films
generated up to 2.4 billion
14
in overseas investment. This incentive has been phased out, but the UK government
continue its support for the British film industry by the introduction of a tax credit for feature films, high-end UK TV
drama and video games. These tax credits have provided a further boost to this important sector which contributes
US$7.1 billion to the UK economy
15
. The British Film Institutes five-year plan for the future of UK film funding is to
invest an expected total of 273 million in Lottery money from 2012-2017

Physical Home Video
In 2013, combined DVD and Blu-ray revenues from rental, sales and digital streaming were worth an estimated
US$36.4 billion. This is expected to decline to US$28.4 billion by 2018
17
. Following the closure of physical rental and
sales outlets, such as Blockbuster and HMV, it is anticipated that this part of the business will migrate to mail order.
Significant and stable growth in the electronic home video will offset much of the decline.
Electronic Home Video
The electronic home video market is expected to continue to grow strongly in the next few years and to surpass the
physical video market by 2018
18
. The available platforms consist of both video-on-demand (VOD) and pay-per-view
through TV subscription providers, and also include over the top/streaming services whose film content is accessed
via a broadband or wireless internet connection and can be viewed on a PC, a TV, a tablet, or any other device.
The former is offered as an enhancement to most TV subscription packages and is, therefore, highly dependent on
the timing of film release windows. Steady, albeit moderate, annual growth in high single digit numbers is forecast for
the years until 2018.
The internet has created another potential distribution medium which the film industry has, to its credit, embraced.
As more and more households take up broadband with its greater bandwidth, the internet is now becoming a viable
distribution window. Numerous legitimate video streaming and download businesses now exist, including services
offered by Apple, Netflix, Tivo, Lovefilm, Amazon and Hulu Plus. Subscription-based services such as Netflix and
Lovefilm in the UK are the driving force behind Over-The-Top (OTT)/streaming revenues.
OTT/streaming spending is forecast to rise sharply at a 28.1% compound annual rate to US$22.7 billion in 2018.
The total electronic home video market will reach US$32.7 billion in 2018 from US$13.2 billion in 2013, a 19.9%
increase compounded annually
19
.
Television
Europe boasts one of the largest television markets in the world and is a very successful exporter of television content,
second only to the US. Total broadcaster revenues in Europe are forecast to exceed US$70 billion in 2014, growth
from 2013 of 2.5%
20
. Original programming is set to remain the largest area of expenditure, but sectors such as
sport are catching up. A significant increase in revenues will come from new platforms such as digital cable, internet
protocol television (IPTV) and mobile television, which will all encourage subscription spending. An over-the-top
market is also emerging through providers such as Netflix that stream television shows either over the internet or to
video games consoles while bypassing a television provider. However, subscription spending remains the principal
component of the global television market.
Consumers are increasingly exploring new audio-visual media. The expanding digital terrestrial platforms, digital cable
and IPTV are expected to stimulate growth in video-on-demand usage and in addition mobile television is also fast
becoming a major platform for accessing content driven in part by the upgrade to mobile networks. While there
is a major challenge in other media sectors persuading consumers to pay for digital content, the TV industry has
successfully established a billing relationship with its consumers.
The increase in the number of new channels and platforms continues to drive demand for television content, creating
a significant commercial opportunity for producers of mass-appeal English language content. In 2014, BskyB is set to
maintain its position as the UKs largest single investor in television programming.

Video Games
The global video games market will be worth US$89.0 billion by 2018, rising by an average of 6.2% a year from
US$65.7 billion in 2013
21
. Consumer spending accounts for the vast majority of the market.
The video games market is in a state of flux, with the online and mobile sectors growing strongly and taking larger
shares of consumer spend. In 2009, 53% of consumer spending on video games was on console games. By 2018,
the figure will have fallen to 35%. It is anticipated that sales of online games will continue to increase at a modest
rate, but will not keep pace with the growth of the market overall. Online accounted for 24% of consumer spending
in 2009 but by 2018 will reach 34%
22
. Mobile games will experience the highest compound annual growth rate at 10%
and a significant increase in its market share to 17% by 2018
23
.
The next generation of consoles, such as PS4 and Xbox One, was successfully launched globally in late 2013 which
enhanced global console spending. The US will remain the largest market followed by the UK, which overtakes
Japan this year as the second largest market with a projected CAGR of 4.3% between 2013 and 2018 and
US$3.2 billion in 2018
24
.
PC games spending will decline over the forecasted period. In particular, physical sales of PC games will experience a
negative CAGR of 14.5%. Digital PC games will increase at a CGR of 4.4% to reach US$5.95 billion by 2018
25
.
Mobile gaming has many of the benefits of the online platform and will also grow substantially over the forecast
period. Rather than broadband penetration, mobile, and particularly smartphone penetration will be a major
driver for this sector.
The value of the mobile gaming sector is estimated to increase to US$14.97 billion in 2018, up from US$9.47 billion
in 2013
26
. Growth in the short term will be higher than in the longer term, and growth in emerging markets, namely
China, will be faster than in the more mature North America and Western Europe regions and driven primarily
by mobile penetration.
The mobile market has severely damaged the handheld-gaming-console market at the same time as significantly
increasing the consumer base. The availability of low-cost, free or freemium games on a device that is almost
always with the user is a considerably better value proposition than purchasing much more expensive games for
a separate device.
Summary and Current Developments
Advances in technology are having a significant impact on the global film industry, both enhancing the consumer
experience of filmed entertainment in traditional areas such as cinema, video and television as well as offering new
viewing platforms to consumers such as the internet, mobile phones and tablets.
These technological advances can be seen in the growing importance of the electronic home video market, which is
expected to exceed the physical home video market by 2018. The trend is a welcome positive change after several
years of decline in one of the key revenue streams for the film content business.
Technological advances have affected theatrical distribution, which remains the key driver behind a films success in
subsequent release windows. The growth in the number of digital cinemas, 3D and multiplexes is forecast to further
boost box office sales as well as cutting distribution costs.

Alongside the success of Apples iPod and iPad, many manufacturers have launched and developed multi-media
portable devices capable of displaying video as well as music. The mobile telephone handset manufacturers
(including Apple with its iPhone) have also incorporated video capability into their 3G and 4G handsets as the major
network providers continue to roll out 4G networks. As well as offering consumers the opportunity to view pre-recorded
films on the move, these changes are expected to benefit the film industry as downloading and streaming film
or film clips is possible. In addition the mobile handset has become another tool in marketing forthcoming films
directly to targeted audiences.
Digital distribution growth and developments in technology are seen as important in combating piracy, introducing
copy-protection technology into digital distribution in cinemas, Blu-ray and on-demand services and more sophisticated
policing of infringements over the web and peer-to-peer networks.
The film industry, together with government bodies worldwide, is increasingly focused on tackling the threat of piracy.
In June 2010, the Digital Economy Act came into force in the UK to combat music and film piracy, and contains
many of the suggestions made in the Digital Britain Report of 2009. Film industry associations have also launched
consumer awareness programmes in order to prevent piracy at source and to promote the benefits of legitimate
downloading and streaming. These anti-piracy measures are all directed at minimising the impact of piracy on the
future growth of film revenues.

PART 3: FINANCIAL ILLUSTRATION
1. Assumptions
27
The Investment Strategy is to invest into companies that intend to follow a business model offering both risk management
and significant potential for growth based on the production and exploitation of commercial Entertainment Projects.
It is intended that each Investee Company commits its funding to development and production with all projected
revenues from those productions recycled upon recoupment.

2. Monitoring of Investee Companies
The Manager will monitor the activities of Investee Companies, particularly with respect to each Investee Companys
adherence to its business strategy. In this context, the Manager intends to appoint one or more of its employees to
the board of each of the Investee Companies.
Any decisions or action required in relation to each investors rights and interests in the Investee Companies will be
taken by the Manager, acting in its sole discretion.
3. Tax Benefits
Investments made by the Manager are expected to enable Investors to benefit from the tax advantages offered by the
EIS. Investors should obtain income tax relief (by way of tax credit) in respect of their shares in each Investee Company
made at 30% against either their 2014/15 income tax liability, or their 2013/14 income tax liability (if a carry back claim
is made). This means that if an investor has a tax liability of 30,000 in each of 2014/15 and 2013/14, an investment
of 100,000 would enable the investor to reclaim income tax of 30,000 against either their 2014/15 income tax
liability, or their 2013/14 income tax liability. The investor may also make a partial carry back claim to spread the
relief over both years. The claim may be made in respect of each investment made once the Manager has obtained
EIS3 certificates from HMRC and sent them to the investor. This relief is limited to investments of up to 1,000,000 in
total in EIS qualifying companies when applied against a 2014/15 income tax liability (although investments of up to a
further 1,000,000 may be carried back to 2013/14, to the extent the Investor did not fully utilise available EIS reliefs
in that earlier year). Gains realised on disposal of such investments after the Relevant Period are exempt from CGT.
27 Illustrative only, based on the Investment Strategy, Shelley Media EISs historical performance and a number of assumptions, including a
single investment of 100,000, income tax relief applied against an investors 2014/15 income tax liability, currently announced tax rates
and a realisation of the investments in each Investee Company after three and a half full years of trade. The illustrative returns may not be
a reliable indicator of actual performance. The value of an investment may go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the full
amount invested.
28 Average Gross Equivalent Annual Return is the return an additional rate income tax paying investor would need to achieve from an equivalent
investment in order to achieve the same return that provided through the Service.
11
BROCHURE
In addition, capital gains realised by Investors on the disposal of other assets within three years before or up
to 12 months after investments are made in the Investee Companies, may be deferred provided the investments made
on behalf of the Investor at least equal the amount of the capital gains to be deferred. This may enable Investors to
defer gains subject to CGT, which will then crystallise on disposal of the Qualifying Shares. The ability of an Investor to
defer such gains arises from his/her share in each separate investment made through the Service, and consequently
a deferral based on the full amount of the Investors investment can only be claimed for gains arising within three
years before the date on which the final investment in an Investee Company is made on behalf of an Investor, or
those which arise within 12 months after the date on which the first such investment is made on behalf of an Investor.
Capital losses arising on the investments can be offset against income in the year in which the loss is crystallised
(and/or the preceding year), after taking account of the initial tax relief claimed (at the applicable rate).
EIS reliefs are available to Investors by reference to the date each investment is made in an Investee Company.
The section above provides only a very brief summary of the EIS Reliefs. A fuller explanation of the tax benefts and
requirements of the EIS is set out on pages 22-24 of this Brochure. The value of the tax reliefs will depend on personal
circumstances and may be subject to changes in those circumstances or to the tax legislation. The Manager does not
provide tax advice and prospective investors are recommended to obtain independent tax advice.
4. Liquidity
As each Investors portfolio will be invested in shares in a number of unquoted companies, there will be no active
market in the Qualifying Shares. Consequently, the most likely mechanism for realising an investment in an Investee
Company is through a realisation process implemented by the Manager. The Manager will consider options for making
realisations and returning funds to Investors after the Relevant Period.
Investors should consequently be aware that there are no general redemption rights in normal or exceptional
circumstances, other than the possibility of early termination of their Investor Agreement which would lead to the
transfer of the shares held in their portfolio into their own name, and that if they should choose to do so, those Shares
may not be readily realisable.
5. Who is this Service Likely to be Suitable for?
This Service is likely to be suitable for UK tax paying investors looking for a medium term investment whose personal
circumstances allow them to take advantage of the EIS Reliefs, such that they are able to benefit from the income tax
relief and/or defer capital gains, for example:
an investor who has sufcient income tax liability to claim income tax relief under the EIS
an investor wishing to defer a taxable capital gain
an investor wishing to defer a capital gain, but who also has sufcient income tax liability to claim income tax
relief under the EIS
The minimum individual investment in order to set up an Investor Agreement is 10,000
29
. Investors should note
that the portfolio which will be created under their Investor Agreement will comprise shares in small unquoted
companies (often with high risk) and that they may not have access to their capital for at least 3-3.5 years from
the date of subscription.

PART 5: SERVICE STRUCTURE, OFFER DETAILS AND COSTS
1. Structure
Each prospective investor will enter into a discretionary managed portfolio investment management arrangement
with the Manager by means of an Investor Agreement (attached to this Brochure). The separate Investor Agreements
entered into with each Investor shall together comprise the Service.
The Manager will be responsible, pursuant to the terms of each Investor Agreement, for discretionary decisions in
relation to the selection of, and the exercise of rights in relation to, investments in Investee Companies, but the
Investor will retain beneficial ownership of the Qualifying Shares purchased by the Manager. The intention is that each
investment in an Investee Company and each disinvestment from an Investee Company will be made on a common
basis for each of the Investors, there being aggregation of deals for transactions in the Investee Company. An Investor
cannot require the Manager to dispose of his or her interest in an Investee Company prior to disposal of the Services
overall investment in that Investee Company. The Manager may, at its absolute discretion, however, have regard
to any requests made to it by an Investor to realise any individual shareholdings in Investee Companies (but such
termination may result in a loss of EIS Reliefs and crystallisation of any deferred capital gain).
2. Investment Amounts
The minimum individual investment in order to set up an Investor Agreement is 10,000 (subject to the Managers
discretion to accept a lower amount). There is no restriction on the maximum investment by an individual, subject to
control restrictions preventing individuals owning more than 30% of an individual Investee Company. However, the
maximum amount on which an Investor can obtain EIS income tax relief in any tax year is limited to 1,000,000. Each
spouse has his or her own limit of 1,000,000. In addition, investments of up to a further 1,000,000 may be carried
back to the previous tax year, to the extent that the Investor did not fully utilise EIS income tax relief in that year
30
.
This annual limit applies to the aggregate of EIS investments made by an Investor within a given tax year. There is no
limit to the capital gains which may be deferred by means of an investment in Investee Companies, or in the value of
assets acquired which qualify for relief from inheritance tax.
3. Withdrawals
An Investor is not permitted to make a partial withdrawal from his portfolio. An Investor may be permitted to make an
early withdrawal, provided that he does so in full. Early withdrawal will result in termination of the Investor Agreement,
in which case the relevant Investors investments (whether Qualifying Shares and/or cash), will be transferred into
that Investors name. In such circumstances, the Manager will be under no obligation to sell or otherwise realise the
cash value of any Qualifying Shares to which the Investor is entitled. If a disposal of Qualifying Shares occurred before
the end of the Relevant Period, that Investor would have to repay the initial income tax relief (if it had been claimed)
and any deferred gains would crystallise.
The Manager will be entitled to retain or dispose of some or all of the assets being withdrawn by an Investor and apply
the proceeds in discharging an Investors liability to the Manager in respect of damages or accrued but unpaid fees
or reimbursable costs or expenses. The balance of any sale proceeds and control of any remaining investments will
then be passed to the Investor.
4. Investment Horizon
In order to retain the EIS Reliefs, Investors must hold the Qualifying Shares acquired by the Manager for the Relevant
Period, and no partial withdrawals are permitted within this time. It is intended that the Manager will consider options
for realising the Qualifying Shares in the interests of the Investors after the expiry of the Relevant Period. Having regard
to the Relevant Period and the feasibility of obtaining a realisation thereafter, the investment horizon is approximately
30 See Income Tax Relief section on page 22 for more details.
16
three to three and a half years, but there can be no guarantee that all of the Qualifying Shares will be realised within
this period. The Manager will have regard to the maximisation of value in considering the strategy for, and timing of,
the realisation of the Qualifying Shares.
It would be prudent to view an investment in the Service as medium term. A prospective Investor should only apply
to set up an Investor Agreement in order to participate in the Service on the basis that his Subscription will remain
invested for at least three to three and a half years.
Following realisation of the Qualifying Shares in each Investee Company, the realisation proceeds will be paid to
Investors. Consequently, it is possible that Investors will receive distributions over a period of time.

7. Right of Cancellation
An Investor may exercise a right to cancel his/her subscription and terminate the Investor Agreement by notification
to the Manager within 14 days of the Manager accepting the Investors Application Form. This should be done by
sending a cancellation notice to the Managers registered office as set out in this document. For convenience, a
cancellation notice form is provided at the end of this Brochure.
On exercise of the Investors right to cancel, the Manager will refund any monies paid to the Service by the Investor,
less any charges the Manager has already incurred for any services undertaken in accordance with the Investor
Agreement and less any sums paid to advisers and introducers.
The Custodian is obliged to hold investment monies until satisfactory completion of checks by the Manager under the
Money Laundering Regulations 2007 (as amended).
The Investor will not be entitled to interest on monies refunded following cancellation.
The right to cancel under the FCA rules applies to the setting up of the Investor Agreement. It does not give the
Investor the right to cancel or terminate or reverse any particular investment transaction executed for the account of
the Investor before cancellation takes effect.
The Manager reserves the right to treat as valid and binding any application not complying fully with the terms and
conditions set out in this Brochure. In particular, but without limitation, the Manager may accept applications made
otherwise than by completion of an Application Form where the prospective Investor has agreed in some other
manner acceptable to the Manager to apply in accordance with this Brochure and the Investor Agreement.

of all Arrangement Fees and Initial Monitoring Fees charged to Investee
Companies shall not exceed 6.5% of that Investors Subscription
(or 3.5% in the case of Advised Retail Clients)
The Manager will also charge each Investee Company an annual
Monitoring Fee equal to 1.5% of the total capital invested in that company
Custodian Fees 2,000 upfront fee charged pro-rata across the Investee Companies

rata to each Investee Company
Depositary Fee Pursuant to AIFMD requirements, a depositary will be required and a
depositary fee will need to be charged. The fee has yet to be determined,
but we have applied a working assumption of 0.15% p.a. of the net asset
value of the Service
Performance Fee 20% of any proceeds of the realisation of Qualifying Shares that
exceed 103% of Aggregate Subscriptions
The Manager and/or an Associate of the Manager may provide or procure certain administration, management and
other services, including custodian, nominee and/or depositary services, to or on behalf of the Manager and/or an
Associate of the Manager and/or some or all of the Investee Companies, including for example, legal, accounting,
company secretarial, taxation, audit, administration and transactional services, and assistance in the sourcing of
opportunities, due diligence, monitoring and day-to-day trading operations, in consideration of which such companies
shall be entitled to charge or recover (as the case may be) their reasonable costs and/or fees from Subscriptions or
the Investee Companies (as appropriate). Such expenses and costs may include (but not be limited to), transactional
fees of 40,000 for legal services on each Entertainment Project and an annual administrative services charge
of 15,000 per Investee Company, linked to the higher of the Retail Price Index or Consumer Price Index, for the
provision of corporate administrative services.
All fees, costs and expenses are exclusive of VAT, which will be charged where applicable.
The fact that an Investor makes an early withdrawal from the Service does not affect his or her or any other partys
liability to pay all of the fees set out above, or the right of any party entitled to the reimbursement of costs or expenses
under the Investor Agreement, the Custodian Agreement or otherwise to do so, in either case whether accruing
before or after such withdrawal, notwithstanding the termination of the Investor Agreement in those circumstances.
The Manager maintains, and regularly reviews, conflict of interest management policies which are designed to ensure
that the fee payment arrangements should not create any potential conflict of interest in respect of its obligations
to investors in providing discretionary investment management services and arranging related custody services
for their Portfolios.

PART 6: RISK FACTORS
Prior to making an investment decision, prospective investors should carefully consider all of the information set
out in this Brochure and should consider whether they wish to set up an Investor Agreement and so participate in
the Service and whether consequently investing in Qualifying Shares will constitute a suitable investment in light of
their personal circumstances, tax position and the financial resources available to them. Such investment involves a
high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Potential investors should, therefore, seek advice from
a stockbroker, accountant, fund manager or other financial adviser before making any decision to invest. Potential
investors are also recommended to consult a professional adviser regarding their personal tax position.
This section contains the material risk factors that the Manager believes to be associated with such investment. If
any of the following events or circumstances arise, the financial position and/or results of an investment could be
materially and adversely affected; as could the availability of tax reliefs to Investors. In such circumstances, Investors
may lose all or part of their investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known, or that are deemed to
be immaterial, may also have an adverse effect and the risks described below do not necessarily include all the risks
associated with investment pursuant to an Investor Agreement in respect of the Service.
1. Risks Relating to Returns
The value of the Qualifying Shares may go up or down. An Investor may not get back the full amount invested and
may, therefore, lose some or all of their investment. Therefore, assumptions, projections, intentions, illustrations
or targets included within this Brochure cannot and do not constitute a defnitive forecast of how the investments
will perform but have been prepared upon assumptions which the Manager considers reasonable
After holding the Qualifying Shares in Investee Companies for the Relevant Period, it may be difcult to realise
the Qualifying Shares or to obtain reliable information as to their value, as it is anticipated that there may not be
a ready market for them
The performance of investments made through the Service is, in part, dependent on the Manager being able
to identify appropriate Investee Companies which carry on, and continue to carry on, a Qualifying Trade
for the Relevant Period
The Investee Companies do not have an established track record and will be operating in a competitive industry
where the commercial risks are high. The past performance of the Manager is not a guide to future performance
The Manager intends to invest in Investee Companies producing between them a range of Entertainment Projects
in accordance with the business model envisaged by this Brochure. This approach is intended to help mitigate
the performance risk exposure for an individual Investee Company and to increase the chances of generating
attractive returns for Investors across the portfolio of Investee Companies and their respective Entertainment
Projects. If the availability of suitable Entertainment Projects for production by Investee Companies is limited, the
opportunities for diversifcation may be reduced
The lower the amount of subscriptions raised through the Service is, the smaller the opportunity will be to diversify
investments in diferent Investee Companies, which may adversely impair returns
Each Investor should note that it is possible that other taxes or costs may arise for the Investor in connection with
its investment in the Service that are not paid via, or imposed by, the Manager
The level of return to Investors will be a function of the quantum and economic performance of the Entertainment
Projects produced by each Investee Company, the value of the sales generated by the Entertainment Projects and
the receipt of the beneft of anticipated applicable flm, television or video games tax incentives
Each Investee Company will be exposed to credit risk in relation to that proportion of revenues for
which Investee Companies will be accounting, including the anticipated monetisation of the Investee
Companies future revenue rights
19
BROCHURE
2. Risks Relating to Taxation
This Brochure is prepared in accordance with the Managers interpretation of current legislation, rules and
practice. Such interpretation may not be correct and it is always possible that legislation, rules and practice may
change. Any such changes, and in particular any changes to the bases of taxation, tax reliefs, rates of tax or the
Investors tax position, may afect the return Investors receive from the Service
Tax law is complex and prospective investors should seek independent tax advice to determine and understand
the suitability of investing in the Service and any efect this may have on their own position generally
The tax benefts described and their value to an Investor are dependent on the Investors personal
circumstances. Therefore, these tax benefts may not be available to all Investors and/or may be lost by Investors
in certain circumstances
Tax relief may be withdrawn in certain circumstances and neither the Manager, nor the Custodian accepts
any liability for any loss or damage sufered by any Investor or other person in consequence of such relief
being withdrawn or reduced
If the amount of an Investors subscription is such that his pro-rata benefcial interest in an Investee Company
amounts to more than 30% of the capital or voting rights, he will be connected with that company and will
therefore not be entitled to income tax relief in respect of that investment. In determining whether an Investor is
connected with the company, the interests of his associates are also considered (associates broadly meaning
relatives and business partners of the Investor)
3. Risks Relating to the EIS
It is possible that an Investor could cease to be entitled to certain of the tax benefts available under the EIS which
are set out in this Brochure. For example, deferral relief may be lost if an Investor ceases to be a tax resident in
the UK during the Relevant Period, and all EIS Reliefs may be lost if an Investor receives value from an Investee
Company (other than a normal dividend), in the period from one year before the issue of Qualifying Shares to the
Nominee to the end of the Relevant Period
Delays to the investment timetable could cause certain Investors to lose the opportunity to defer capital gains
which arose more than three years prior to their respective investment in an Investee Company
The ability of the Manager to identify suitable Investee Companies within expected timescales may afect the
availability and timing of tax reliefs and the return Investors receive from their investment
The Manager will only invest in companies which have received advance assurance from HMRC that they will be
qualifying companies under the EIS. However, it cannot be guaranteed that the EIS Reliefs will be available or will
continue to be available, in respect of each investment made by the Manager
If an Investee Company ceases to carry on a Qualifying Trade during the Relevant Period, its EIS qualifying status
may be adversely afected. While the Manager will require various safeguards to be provided against this risk, the
Manager does not guarantee that all Investee Companies will retain their qualifying status
Investee Companies are required to employ all of the EIS funding they receive in their trade within two years of
issuing the relevant Qualifying Shares or commencing their trade, whichever is later. Failure to employ funds
within this time limit would be a breach of the EIS rules and result in a withdrawal of tax relief on that investment
If an Investee Company fails to meet the EIS qualifying requirements: (i) Investors may, as a result, be required
to repay the income tax relief received (at the applicable rate) on a particular investment (along with any related
interest); (ii) a liability to CGT may arise on the subsequent disposal of the relevant Qualifying Shares; and (iii) any
deferred capital gains may crystallise
Any sale of Qualifying Shares prior to the end of the Relevant Period will create a liability to repay the income tax
relief claimed (at the applicable rate) as a result of the investment in those Qualifying Shares and any gain will be
subject to capital gains tax
20
4. Risks Relating to Entertainment Production
The production cost of an Entertainment Project may exceed its budget. In order to mitigate the risk, Investee
Companies will be expected to budget for an element of contingency to allow for any potential cost overruns.
In addition, where appropriate, Investee Companies will be expected to arrange for customary production
related insurances to be put in place for all productions prior to commencing any production funding on
an Entertainment Project
If an Investee Company does not produce an Entertainment Project in accordance with the requirements set
out in a commissioning agreement, or an Entertainment Project is not completed, this could adversely afect the
revenue derived from it, particularly where a distributor refuses to accept delivery of the Entertainment Project.
In order to mitigate this risk, the Manager will monitor the Investee Companys production of each Entertainment
Project on an ongoing basis. In addition, where appropriate, the Investee Company will be expected to put a
Completion Bond or other suitable arrangement in place
If a claim is brought by a third party that an Entertainment Project is defamatory, libellous or obscene or infringes
the rights of a third party, this could adversely afect the revenues the Investee Company derives from it. In order
to mitigate the risk, the Manager may require that Investee Companies acquire appropriate errors and omissions
insurance for Entertainment Projects efective from the start of principal photography
Due to the nature of the industry, content production is inherently risky (as it is not generally possible to accurately
predict the level of sales income that can be achieved). However, as described herein, each Investee Company will
be expected to reduce these risks by negotiating suitable recoupment positions providing an Investee Company
with a spread of revenues from various positions in the exploitation chain, all of which will be negotiated prior to
committing to production or co-production
The receipt by an Investee Company of any amount in respect of an agreed proft share of revenues generated
from the exploitation of an Entertainment Project is dependent on the Entertainment Project generating sufcient
levels of revenue to trigger any such entitlement
To the extent that revenues received by an Investee Company with respect to its Entertainment Projects are re applied
in production activity on similar terms, the same risks apply to the returns from such further production activity
5. Risks Relating to Foreign Exchange
Each Investee Company may be exposed to currency risk as a portion of revenues will arise in foreign currency, the
value of which will be affected by movements in exchange rates. In order to mitigate any exchange rate risk associated
with an Investee Companys revenue entitlements with respect to the contracted minimum revenue entitlements it
has negotiated in relation to its Entertainment Projects, it is anticipated that each Investee Company will ensure that
such receipts will either be paid in sterling or that suitable hedging arrangements will be put in place.
6. Financial Services Compensation Scheme
The Manager and the Custodian are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. An Investor may
be entitled to compensation from the scheme if the Manager or the Custodian cannot meet their obligations, as
described in greater detail in the Investor Agreement.
7. Risks Relating to Cash
Funds will be placed on deposit by the Custodian at the Investors own risk and neither the Manager, nor any person
engaged by either of them to hold such funds as receiving agent or otherwise (Deposit Holder), nor any director
or officer of any of them, will be liable to any Investor or prospective investor in the event of an insolvency of any
bank with which such funds are deposited, nor in the event of any restriction on the ability of any Deposit Holder to
withdraw funds from such bank for reasons beyond the reasonable control of any of them.

This Brochure includes statements that are (or may be deemed to be) forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements can be identifed by the use of forward-looking terminology including the terms

should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. Subject to any
requirement under applicable laws and regulations, the Manager does not undertake to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise
Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date

PART 7: TAXATION BENEFITS FOR INVESTORS
This summary is based upon current UK tax law and practice and is intended as a guide only. It is not intended
to constitute legal or tax advice and prospective investors are recommended to consult their own professional
advisers concerning the possible tax consequences of purchasing, holding, selling or otherwise disposing of
Qualifying Shares. The value of any tax reliefs will depend on the individual circumstances of investors and
may be subject to change in the future. The examples in this section are set out for illustrative purposes
only. They are not, and should not be construed as, forecasts or projections of the likely performance of an
investment in the Service.
It is intended that Investors who invest in the Service through an Investor Agreement will be able to claim EIS Reliefs
and IHT relief on the amount of their subscription, as described below.
To obtain the tax reliefs described below it is necessary to subscribe for Qualifying Shares and claim the relief.
The summary below gives only a brief outline of the tax reliefs and assumes that the Investor is an additional rate
taxpayer in 2013/14 and 2014/15. It does not set out all the rules which must be met during the Relevant Period by
the Investee Company and the Investor. The tax reliefs will only be relevant to Investors who have a UK income tax
liability and/or wish to defer a capital gain.
1. EIS Relief
(a) The Three Elements of EIS Relief
Income Tax Relief
Individuals can obtain income tax relief on the amount subscribed for Qualifying Shares provided they
(or their associates) are not connected with the issuing company. Income tax relief is limited to EIS qualifying
investments of up to 1,000,000 in aggregate in each tax year and husbands, wives, and civil partners,
can each obtain income tax relief on investments up to this amount. This relief will total 30% of the amount
subscribed. In addition, investments of up to a further 1,000,000 may be carried back to the preceding tax
year (i.e. 2013/14) to the extent the investor did not fully utilise his/her entitlement to EIS income tax relief
in that year. In these circumstances, relief may also be claimed at the rate of 30% for the 2013/14 tax year.
In each case, the total relief cannot exceed an amount which reduces the Investors income tax liability to nil.

CGT Deferral Relief
To the extent to which a UK tax paying individual (including certain trustees) subscribes for Qualifying Shares,
he or she can claim to defer paying tax on all or part of a chargeable gain. The gain may have arisen on the
disposal of any asset, or a previously deferred gain may have been brought back into charge. There is no limit
on the amount of chargeable gains which may be deferred in this way.
The gains which may be deferred are those which have arisen in the three years before Qualifying Shares are
issued, and those which arise up to one year after that date. Such gains are deferred until there is a chargeable
event such as a disposal of Qualifying Shares or an earlier breach of the EIS rules. It is important to note that
the ability to defer gains relates to each separate investment made in an Investee Company and consequently
a deferral based on the full amount of the investment can only be claimed for gains arising within three years
before the date on which the final investment in an Investee Company is made on behalf of an Investor, or
those which arise within 12 months after the date on which the first such investment is made in an Investee
Company on behalf of an Investor.
(b) EIS Requirements
The following is a non-exhaustive list of some of the requirements for qualification under the EIS:
Investee Companies
Investee Companies must be unlisted (i.e. they must not be listed on a recognised stock exchange) and there
must be no arrangements in place for such companies to become listed. In addition, throughout the Relevant
Period, such a company must not be a subsidiary of, or be controlled by, another company; and the company
must either exist to carry on a Qualifying Trade or must be the parent company of a trading group. There must
be no arrangements in existence for the Investee Company to come under the control of another company.
Qualifying Trade
Each Investee Company must either carry on a Qualifying Trade or must be the parent company of a trading
group and employ the money raised by the issue of Qualifying Shares in such a Qualifying Trade.
Money Raised
An Investee Company must not raise more than 5 million from EIS or other state-aided sources in any period
of 12 months. In addition, all of the money raised from the issue of Qualifying Shares to the Investors must be
employed for the purposes of the Qualifying Trade within two years of the issue of the Qualifying Shares or the
commencement of trade (if later) by the Investee Company.
Gross Assets
The gross assets of each Investee Company must not exceed 15 million immediately before the issue of
Qualifying Shares and 16 million immediately afterwards.
(c) Timing of EIS Claim
Investors will obtain income tax relief in the tax year in which investments in qualifying EIS companies are
made. The Manager anticipates that all of the capital raised will be deployed into qualifying EIS companies
before the end of the current tax year (2014/15), although this cannot be guaranteed. Investors are also
entitled to carry back EIS income tax relief to the tax year preceding that in which investments are made, to
the extent that they have not already used their EIS capacity in that year.
Once each Investee Company has been trading for four months, the Manager will apply to HMRC for EIS3
certificates. Once the applications have been processed HMRC will send the EIS 3 certificates to the Manager
and the Manager will then send them to each Investor. The EIS3 certificates will confirm the amount of EIS
qualifying investments the Investor has made and are required by Investors in order to claim EIS Relief. The
24
Manager anticipates that the Investee Companies will begin trading soon after investment, and estimates
that EIS3 certificates will be available within 9-13 months of this date. However, this timescale is subject to
a number of factors outside of the Managers control, including response times of HMRC. EIS Reliefs must
be claimed no later than five years after 31 January following the tax year in which the shares are issued in
each Investee Company.
2. Loss Relief Against Income or Gains
In addition to the three elements of EIS Relief set out above, tax relief is available for any loss realised on the disposal
of Qualifying Shares on which EIS income tax relief (see 1(a) above) has been obtained. The amount of the loss
(after taking account of any income tax relief initially obtained) may be set against the individuals taxable income
arising in the tax year in which the disposal occurs, or the previous tax year, or both (if sufficient relief is available).
Alternatively, the loss may be offset against capital gains in the tax year of disposal. Any excess losses may be carried
forward for relief against future capital gains. In the case where no proceeds are received on disposal of the Qualifying
Shares, the net loss after tax on an investment of 100,000 would be as follows for a higher rate tax payer:
Loss Relief
Realised Value of Qualifying Shares nil
Amount Invested in Qualifying Shares (100,000)
Income Tax Relief at 30% 30,000
Loss net of Income Tax Relief (at applicable rate) (70,000)
Loss Relief at 45% 31,500
Net Loss after Tax (38,500)
3. IHT Business Property Relief
The Qualifying Shares should constitute Relevant Business Property (as defined in IHTA). Accordingly, once such
Qualifying Shares have been held for a period of two years, they should qualify for 100% business property relief,
which would reduce the IHT liability on a transfer of the Qualifying Shares to nil.

BROCHURE
PART 8: OPERATION OF THE SERVICE
1. Client Accounts
Prior to investment in Investee Companies, and following the realisation of investments in Investee Companies but
prior to the distribution of proceeds, Investors funds will be held by the Custodian in cash in a designated client
money account with trust status. Funds may be held on overnight deposit or, where realisation for investment is not
required immediately, in a term deposit not exceeding the lesser of the expected realisation date and three calendar
months. All client money will be held in UK bank approved by the Prudential Regulatory Authority, typically RBS or
another institution with equivalent standing and credit rating.
Qualifying Shares will be registered in the name of the Nominee. Qualifying Shares which form the portfolio
investments for each Investor under his Investor Agreement will be beneficially owned by the Investor at all times, but
the Custodians Nominee will be the legal owner of the portfolio investments. Any dividends received by the Nominee
from Investee Companies in respect of an Investors shareholding will be paid to the Investor. However, the Manager
does not anticipate that any dividends will be paid by the Investee Companies during the Relevant Period.
2. Allocations
The number of Qualifying Shares allocated to a particular Investor will be calculated by reference to the proportion
which the Investors Subscription, net of his or her share of the upfront fees charged to Investee Companies (as set
out in Part 5 section 8 above), bears to the total Aggregate Subscriptions net of all such fees of all Investors. It is
intended that monies received from each Investor will be invested on a pro-rata basis to his or her Subscription,
as investment opportunities arise. Variations to this standard procedure will only occur to avoid issuing fractions
of shares, or if an Investor is subject to professional rules preventing him or her from making an investment in a
particular Investee Company.
Should an Investor die before his or her subscription is fully invested, all uninvested sums subscribed by him or her
will be repaid by the Manager upon receipt of notice from the Investors personal representatives. Consideration will
be given to liquidating the deceased Investors Qualifying Shares, subject to the Managers absolute discretion.
3. Documentation and Communication
The Manager will provide each Investor with half-yearly (interim and annual) reports pursuant to their Investor
Agreement in each year, containing details of all investments made by the Manager into Investee Companies, together
with a commentary on the progress of each of these investments.
For each complete year ending on 5 April, the Manager shall provide the annual report and an auditors report shall
be reproduced in full in this report. It should be noted that, as the Service is not formally a fund entity but an informal
collection of individual portfolio management arrangements, which together comprise a collective investment
undertaking and an alternative investment fund for AIFMD purposes, formal audit provisions which apply to most
alternative investment funds are not applicable. The Manager, however, intends to make arrangements with the
Auditor to audit the terms of the annual report to verify the information it contains regarding the valuation in respect
of each Investors portfolio.
The Manager will provide Investors with EIS3 certificates which are required to claim EIS Reliefs, subject to each
Investors own circumstances. Assuming a Subscription Deadline of 18 December 2014, it is anticipated that these
will be issued within 9-13 months of the allotment of Qualifying Shares to the Investor, however this timescale is
subject to a number of factors outside of the Managers control, including response times of HMRC.

any tortious act or omission.
If the Depositary is liable under the Depositary Agreement for any loss caused to the Investors in the Service or
the Manager by a third party (including a Custodian) then, subject to the Depositary having paid in full the loss, the

the Manager against such third party.

28
5. Conflicts Policy
The Manager may make an investment in an Investee Company involved in an Entertainment Project in which members
of the Ingenious Group have a commercial interest. The Manager shall take steps necessary to ensure that, in either
case, such decisions are taken fairly and without reference to that commercial interest.
The Manager and other members of the Ingenious Group act, and will continue to act, as the administrator, investment
manager, operator, agent and/or investment adviser to various other new and existing clients which are involved in
the production of Entertainment Projects. Projects may therefore arise that are suitable for the Investee Companies,
or one or more other clients of the Ingenious Group (both current and future). The Manager and/or its affiliates will
seek in their absolute discretion to ensure that any suitable projects are allocated fairly between such other clients of
the Ingenious Group in accordance with the conflicts policies of the Ingenious Group from time to time and without
prejudice to the Managers obligations to Investors. A summary of the Managers policy for managing conflicts of
interest can be found in the Investor Agreement.
Companies within the Ingenious Group are, and will continue to be, active investors in, and advisers to, entities
and individuals in the media and entertainment sector. There may be circumstances in the future, therefore, where
the Ingenious Group, its subsidiaries and/or managed services might enter (or propose to enter) into contracts,
transactions, arrangements or investments in connection with the Service and/or an Investee Company or may
otherwise be directly or indirectly interested in contracts, transactions, arrangements with, or investments by,
the same. Such circumstances (if they occur) will be managed in accordance with any requirements under
applicable laws and regulations.

acts honestly, with due skill, care and diligence and fairly in conducting its activities;
acts in the best interests of the Investors;
has and employs efectively the resources and procedures that are necessary for the proper performance
of its activities;
takes all reasonable steps to avoid conficts of interest (and, when they cannot be avoided, to identify, manage
and monitor, and where applicable, disclose, those conficts of interest in order to prevent them from adversely
afecting the interests of Investors);
ensures that there is fair treatment;
complies with all regulatory requirements applicable to the conduct of its business activities so as to promote the
best interests of the Investors and the integrity of the market;
seeks to treat all Investors fairly and any preferential treatment which might be accorded by the Manager to one
