PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT RETAINS
RJ FALKNER & COMPANY AS INVESTOR RELATIONS COUNSEL
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (December 13, 1999) -- Peace Arch Entertainment
Group Inc. (AMEX: "PAE"; TSE: "PAE.A", "PAE.B"), which develops, produces and
distributes proprietary television programming for worldwide markets, today
announced that it has retained RJ Falkner & Company to develop and implement
an investor relations program for the Company.
RJ Falkner & Company, Inc., is an investment research and financial
communications firm which seeks out undervalued small-cap companies that have
the potential to outperform the overall market on an intermediate- and
long-term basis. Its research analysts work with the management of such
companies to broaden their exposure within the investment community and to
expand the level of interest among brokers, money managers and high-net-worth
individual investors. RJ Falkner & Company, Inc., is headquartered in
Crested Butte, Colorado and has offices in New York City; Austin, Texas; and
Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. Its website address is www.rjfalkner.com.
"We selected RJ Falkner & Company as our investor relations firm because of
the relationships which its research analysts have developed within the
investment community over the past thirty years," stated Cameron White, Chief
Executive Officer of Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. "Its analysts have
developed a thorough appreciation for the dynamics and potential of our
entertainment-related businesses, and we are confident of their ability to
communicate the fundamental strengths of our Company to a broad range of
investor audiences."
"We are excited to be selected to provide a full range of investor relations
services to Peace Arch Entertainment Group," commented R. Jerry Falkner, CFA,
President of RJ Falkner & Company, Inc. "We believe the Peace Arch
management team can significantly enhance shareholder values by leveraging
the Company's programming and distribution capabilities within the
entertainment industry. Peace Arch common stock is trading at a very low
multiple of estimated current-year earnings, relative to the overall market,
and our research suggests that the Company deserves a significantly higher
valuation."
Peace Arch Entertainment Group, Inc. (formerly Vidatron Entertainment Group,
Inc.) develops, produces and distributes proprietary television programming
for worldwide markets. The Company is headquartered in Vancouver, British
Columbia and its stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol
"PAE" and on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbols "PAE.A" and "PAE.B".
