(NASDAQ: PLBY) (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cPlayboy\u201d), a global pleasure and leisure company, today announced the initial closing of its previously announced transaction to ultimately sell 50% of its China business to UTG Brands Management Group (\u201cUTG\u201d), an experienced consumer brands operator in China. UTG will now manage all operational aspects of Playboy\u2019s business activities in China, Hong Kong and Macau.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">At the initial closing, which occurred on March 20, 2026, UTG acquired a 16.67% equity interest in a joint venture entity that manages and licenses Playboy\u2019s intellectual property in China, Hong Kong and Macau (the \u201cJV\u201d) in exchange for $15 million, all of which Playboy used to pay down its senior secured debt. The Company will use nearly $37 million of the forthcoming transaction proceeds for further debt reduction. Including anticipated reductions in interest expense, the Company expects the transaction to be immediately accretive to earnings.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">At the initial closing, Playboy also received a $4 million brand support payment, and Playboy began receiving guaranteed minimum JV distributions. Playboy expects to receive the remaining $30 million of purchase price proceeds for UTG\u2019s acquisition of an additional 33.33% equity interest in the JV and a further $6 million of brand support payments by January 2028. A further minimum of $62 million in total JV distributions will be paid to Playboy through 2033. In addition to the annual guaranteed minimum distribution payments to Playboy, which will equal or exceed its current net cash flows from China, Playboy expects to receive incremental annual distributions from the JV as a result of Playboy\u2019s continued ownership interest in the JV as UTG grows the business.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Ben Kohn, Chief Executive Officer of Playboy, commented: \u201cThe closing of this transaction marks a pivotal step in Playboy\u2019s transformation. By securing $122 million in contracted cash payments and immediately deploying proceeds to reduce our debt, we are strengthening our balance sheet while advancing our asset-light strategy. This is exactly the kind of value-creating transaction we set out to execute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWith UTG now managing day-to-day operations in China, we retain significant economic upside through our ownership in the joint venture while eliminating the complexity and cost of running those operations directly. We believe UTG\u2019s deep expertise in scaling international brands across China will unlock growth that benefits both partners for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About United Trademark Group<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">United Trademark Group (UTG), parent of UTG Brands Management Group Ltd., is a global leader in consumer brands, headquartered in Hong Kong, with offices in Toronto and Paris.
