Catalist-listed Korean entertainment production group Spackman Entertainment Group, revealed today that it has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with an independent third party for the proposed acquisition of 51% or more of the issued and outstanding share capital of Novus Mediacorp.

Novus is an investor, presenter, and ancillary distributor for Korean theatrical films. Since 2009, Novus was the investor, presenter, and/or ancillary distributor for a total of 35 Korean and 19 foreign films.
