New distribution partner guarantees turnover of approximately 20 million
Deutsche Mark. Current guaranteed size of orders now 27 million Deutsche Mark.
Swing! Entertainment Media AG has made a large-scale contract with BigBen

for next-generation game consoles and will probably be introduced between
November 2001 and April 2002.
The distribution partnerships in Europe and the direct supply of the Australian
market that begun in July 2001 alone already guarantee size of orders of 27
million Deutsche Mark for the current fiscal year.
Company planning for the current fiscal year foresees total turnover of 44
million Deutsche Mark.

Issuer’s information/explanatory remarks concerning this ad-hoc-announcement:
The distribution contract with BigBen covers seven products for the Game Boy
Advance. These are all based on world-wide known licenses from the Warner Bros.,
Universal Studios and Creature Labs companies, as follows: Tiny Toon Adventures
Wacky Stackers, and Buster’s Bad Dream, plus Fievel – An American Tail, The
Flintstones, Creatures, The Land Before Time and Animaniacs. The agreement also
covers Creatures for PSone and the Tiny Toon Adventure Defenders of the
Looniverse for PlayStation 2. A further product involved is Enclave, a 1st-
Person-Shooter. This product was awarded the prize as the best new game in its
genre at the world’s largest computer games exhibition, the E3, by the leading
US online magazine IGN. It is to be introduced on the market a few weeks after
the initial presentation of the Microsoft XBox. All the products involved are to
be offered in three different languages.
Swing! AG plans to introduce a total of twenty-four titles during the current
fiscal year. Five are still under contract with Virgin Interactive. The
remaining nine, the introduction of which on the market is planned for May and
June 2002, will be the subject of later negotiations with potential distribution
partners. License transactions outside Europe for the products now under
contract are expected within weeks.
