EPSIUM Signs MOU With Era Future To Explore Strategic Merger And Entertainment Collaboration In Macau

EPSIUM Enterprise Limited (NASDAQ:EPSM) ("EPSIUM" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed holding company, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Era Future (Macau) Performance Art Limited ("Era Future"), a Macau SAR-based company specializing in variety show planning, event operations, film and television production support, and integrated marketing.

The MOU outlines the parties' intention to engage in good faith discussions towards a potential strategic collaboration. Under the preliminary framework, the two companies will explore opportunities, including a potential stock swap merger and cooperation on film and television projects. The collaboration will leverage Era Future's strong regional network and reputation as a leading event organizer in Macau, providing EPSIUM with comprehensive opportunities to enhance visibility and reach new potential customers. The agreement marks the beginning of an exclusivity period, during which both parties have agreed not to pursue similar opportunities with competitors.

EPSIUM is a leading premium alcoholic beverage distributor in Macau, primarily supplying to the city's major integrated resort operators. Era Future, by contrast, focuses on producing and managing large-scale entertainment events. The two companies share an overlapping client base, and their collaboration is expected to create strong synergies: entertainment events such as concerts and variety shows drive significant foot traffic, which can in turn boost beverage sales at the venues, including premium alcoholic products supplied by EPSIUM. For integrated resorts and casinos, this combined offering of event hosting and beverage services can help attract and retain more visitors, creating value for both the venue operators and the partnership. At the same time, the initiative contributes to broader goals by fostering cross-industry synergies and enhancing Macau's cultural profile—further supporting its ambition to be a "City of Performing Arts" and a world-class international metropolis.
