"ARBITRAGE" - INVESTMENT SUMMARY
Arbitrage, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, seeks an investment of $2,700,000 to
capitalize the production of "Arbitrage," a feature-film starring Al Pacino, Drake, Eva Green, and
Susan Sarandon, written and to be directed by Nicholas Jarecki, beginning principal photography
March 21, 2011 in New York City.
The term of the investment will be approximately 18 months beginning on January 10, 2011. The
investor recoups their principal amount, as well as a 25% preferred payment. The investor will
then receive 30% of ongoing net revenues from the picture's exploitation over its commercial life.
The investment will be secured by the picture negative, which will be produced for a total cash
cost of $9,642,846. The picture will be bonded by Film Finances, Inc., the world's largest
motion-picture guarantor (backed by the Lloyd's of London.) This guarantees delivery of the
picture on budget and schedule.
REVENUE SOURCES:
FOREIGN SALES
Our foreign sales agent Lisa Wilson at Parlay / GK Films has already made substantial foreign
sales, exceeding her initial pre-sale projections by 10%.
Currentforeign sales are $4,387,000.
Further sales for remaining territories are estimated between $3,465,000 and $4,422,000. The
estimates for these sales were computed using the same method as those that were used for the
initial sales. These further sales will be made at markets (Cannes, Berlin) after the picture has
begun production and generated viewable footage, as well as at distributor screenings upon
completion of the picture.
Totalforeign sales areprojected between $7,852,500 and $8,809,500
TAX CREDITS
New York State and New York City provide a combined tax incentive of 35% on non-talent
("Above the Line") expenditures to film producers.
Based on ourfilm's cash budget ($9,644,000) we expect a rebate of $1,995,000.
US SALES
Upon completion, the picture will be shown to film distributors in the United States. Our sales
strategy will consist of a premiere at a major film festival like Cannes, Toronto, or Sundance- or
private distributor screenings.
We project between $2,500,000 to $4,500,000 in income from a US distributor.
"Arbitrage" has significant domestic value even in non-theatrical markets like VOD, DVD, and
Television. Non-theatrical revenues alone will likely total $2MM in worst-case.

THE DEAL:
In brief, the picture will be financed by a combination of debt, distributor deposits, and equity.
The debt and deposits will net $6,142,826 to the production. $3,500,000 remains required after
those sources.
Arbitrage, LLC has secured a product placement agreement from for $300,000 for
inclusion of their marketing materials (box) in the film, reducing the equity need to $3,200,000.
Nicholas Jarecki will contribute $500,000 to the equity pool, participating on the same terms as
the other equity investors. He will also defer his writing and directing fee, and provide several
key locations (including the Sonnenberg mansion) at no charge.

The debt will recoup first. Next the equity pool will recoup its principal amount of $3,200,000
plus a 25% preference of $800,000 for a total of $4,000,000.
Thereafter, payments will be made to any deferred participants (GK Films will be due 7.5% of all
foreign sales at this point).
