ITEM 5. Other Events
Interactive Entertainment Limited (the "Company") has entered into a
Securities Agreement with B/E Aerospace, Inc. a Delaware corporation ("B/EA"),
dated June 25, 1998, whereby the Company has agreed to redeem the outstanding
shares of convertible redeemable class A preferred shares, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company (the "Preferred Stock") held by B/EA.
The Securities Agreement provides that the Company will redeem the
Preferred Stock held by B/EA at a redemption price of $1,000 per share of
Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Under the terms of
the Securities Agreement, the Company is to redeem B/EA's Preferred Stock as
follows: one hundred (100) shares of Preferred Stock on June 30, 1998, two
hundred (200) shares of Preferred Stock on each of July 31, August 31, and
September 30, 1998 and one hundred (100) shares of Preferred Stock (or such
lesser amount as may then be outstanding) on the last business day of each month
thereafter commencing October 1998. The Company, at its option, can redeem all
the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock at any time following the sixtieth
(60th) day after receipt of notice to B/EA by the Company of its election to do
so at the same $1,000 per share redemption price.
Under the terms of the Securities Agreement, if the Company is in
compliance with the foregoing redemption obligations, B/EA will not convert any
of its Preferred Stock and has agreed to give the Company a right of first offer
with respect to any future transfers by B/EA of the Preferred Stock. In the
event the Company is not in compliance with its redemption obligations, B/EA has
agreed to provide the Company with not less than ten (10) days' notice of any
election to convert the Preferred Stock into common shares, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock") and will permit the Company to redeem
all shares of Preferred Stock which B/EA had otherwise elected to convert at any
time prior to or on the date for their conversion upon two (2) business days'
notice by the Company.
If B/EA were to convert the Preferred Stock and the aggregate value of (i)
the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock
multiplied by the then prevailing market price of the Common Stock plus (ii) all
additional amounts received by B/EA pursuant to the redemption of the Preferred
Stock by the Company plus (iii) all amounts received by B/EA as proceeds from
the sale of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock
is less than $2,737,443, then the Company would be obligated to either (x) issue
such additional number of shares of Common Stock to B/EA such that at the then
prevailing market price of the Common Stock, the aggregate value of B/EA's
Common Stock, Preferred Stock and redemption proceeds would equal $2,737,443 or
(y) purchase all Common Stock, Preferred Stock and redemption proceeds for an
amount equal to $2,737,443 less B/EA's redemption proceeds. The terms of the
Preferred Stock allow for the conversion of such shares at any time into a
number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing $1,000 per share of
Preferred Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon by a conversion
price equal to the current market price less a 30% discount. The discount
increases to 35% on March 1, 1999 and to 40% on August 31, 1999.
In the event that B/EA's shares of Preferred Stock are converted into
Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock which were issued to
affiliates of Harrah's Entertainment Inc. ("Harrah's") pursuant to a Plan and
Agreement of Merger and Amalgamation (the "Amalgamation Agreement") would be
increased without additional consideration to the Company to adjust for any
dilution from such conversion of Preferred Stock. Harrah's affiliates would also
have preemptive rights pursuant to a Registration and Preemptive Rights
Agreement which was entered into in connection with the Amalgamation Agreement.
The Company's redemption of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the
Securities Agreement would prevent any conversion of the Preferred
<PAGE>
Stock and the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock to the affiliates of
Harrah's. B/EA has, subject to certain conditions, one demand registration right
with respect to not less than $2 million of the shares of Common Stock received
pursuant to a conversion of the Preferred Stock and the right to include its
shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in
registered offerings by the Company.
Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative as of February 28, 1997 and
payable quarterly at an annual dividend rate of 9% per $1,000. Upon a
liquidation of the Company, holders of the Preferred Stock would be entitled to
repayment of an amount equal to $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, prior to any distributions to holders of Common Stock. The Preferred
Stock does not have any voting rights. B/EA owns all of the Company's 2,737.443
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
The Securities Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and is
incorporated herein by reference.

2. Redemption. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in
this Agreement, BEA agrees to sell, transfer and convey the Preferred Stock to
the Company free of all Encumbrances, and the Company agrees to purchase the
Preferred Stock, in each case for one thousand dollar ($1,000) per share of
Preferred Stock, in accordance with the following schedule:
(a) one hundred (100) shares of Preferred Stock on June 30, 1998 (the

(d) all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on the sixtieth
(60th) day after receipt of notice to BEA by the Company of its election to
redeem all, and not less than all, of the outstanding Preferred Stock.
3. Forbearance.
(a) BEA hereby agrees that it will not elect, directly or indirectly, to
convert any or all of the Preferred Stock into common shares, par value $.01 per
share, of the Company for so long as the Company is in compliance with its
obligations pursuant to the redemption schedule set forth in paragraphs (a),

<PAGE>
otherwise elected to convert at any time prior to or on the date for their

4. Right of First Offer. If BEA desires to transfer, sell, assign,
pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of (a "Transfer") any shares of Preferred
Stock, BEA shall deliver a written notice (the "Notice of Intended Transfer") to
the Company. The Notice of Intended Transfer shall indicate the proposed number
of shares of Preferred Stock contemplated to be transferred (the "Offered
Shares"), and the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer. The Company
shall have the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered
Shares subject to a particular Notice of Intended Transfer at the proposed price
in cash and on the other proposed terms of Transfer. In order to exercise such
purchase rights, within ten (10) days after receiving the Notice of Intended
Transfer, the Company shall deliver to BEA a written election (the "Election
Notice") to purchase all of the Offered Shares. If the Company does not exercise
its purchase rights with respect to all (and not less than all) of the Offered
Shares within such ten (10) day period or fails to deliver the Election Notice
within such time period, BEA shall be free for a period of ninety (90) days
thereafter to complete a Transfer of the Offered Shares at a price and on other
terms no less favorable to BEA than those specified in the applicable Notice of
Intended Transfer. If such a Transfer is not consummated within such ninety (90)
day period by BEA, the Offered Shares shall again be subject to a right of first
offer by the Company under the provisions of this Section 4. In the event the
Company exercises its right to purchase such Offered Shares pursuant to this
Section 4, the Company and BEA shall, no later than thirty (30) days after
proper exercise of such right and as a condition of their respective obligations
hereunder, enter into such agreements and deliver such documents to one another
as shall be necessary for the Transfer of the Offered Shares to the Company as
contemplated hereby. In the event that the Company is not in compliance with its
obligations pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, the provisions of this
Section 4 shall not apply to any proposed transfer by BEA during such time that
the Company is not in compliance with such provisions.

amount equal to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) multiplied by the number
of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed at such Closing; and
(2) in the event any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding
after such redemption, a certificate representing the number of shares of

MEMPHIS, Tenn.-June 26, 1998-Interactive Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: IELSF)

common shareholders from dilution upon conversion of the Class A Preference
Shares," said David Lamm, Chief Financial Officer of IEL. "IEL's redemption of
the Class A Preference Shares, in accordance with its agreement with B/E, would
prevent any conversion of the Class A Preference Shares and the issuance of
additional shares of Common Stock to the affiliates of Harrah's," he continued,
in explaining the agreement.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Such statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary
materially from those anticipated. These include the Company's dependence on
