         DIC Entertainment, Inc. ("DIC Entertainment" or the "Company")

DIC Entertainment announces that following a unanimous recommendation from the
Board's Remuneration Committee, and after consulting external advisors,
including outside legal counsel and compensation consultants, the Board has
adopted a new compensation plan for senior management.  In light of the current
Company share price performance, the Board believes the proposed plan is
necessary to retain and incentivize key management as the Company continues to
execute on its strategic plan.

The compensation plan has two elements:

(a) As previously announced, an increase of 2,000,000 shares to the option pool
has been presented to shareholders for a vote at the upcoming AGM on 19th
October 2007.  Assuming shareholders' approval, it is anticipated that the Board
will grant such stock option shares to members of management and the Board with
an exercise price at the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date
of grant.  Details of any specific grants to Directors shall be reported by the
Company when they occur.

(b) The Board has also adopted a Retention and Transaction Incentive Plan (the "
Plan") that provides for certain bonus payments upon certain changes in the
majority ownership of the Company which result in liquidity for the
shareholders, including a merger or sale of existing shares in either case
resulting in a change of control of the Company.  The plan provides for an
aggregate payment of 5.15% of the aggregate consideration from any such
transaction to select members of management.  Bonuses will be triggered only if
such a transaction occurs prior to 31st December 2009.

All payments under the Plan shall be reduced by the value of any stock options
held by such individuals.  Therefore, no individual shall be entitled to benefit
from both stock options and participation in the Plan.

Specifically, Jeffrey Edell, the Company's President and Chief Operating
Officer, will be entitled to receive a bonus under the Plan equal to 3.5% of the
aggregate consideration from any such transaction.  The balance of the bonus
pool (equal to 1.65% of the aggregate consideration from any such transaction)
has been allocated to other employees.

Chairman and Chief Executive Andy Heyward (who is not participating in the Plan)
said, "The Board believes that this compensation plan is necessary to introduce
a robust compensation and incentivisation framework for the business designed to
reward achievement, retain the service of key executives and ensure continuity
of operations."
