IMAX Corporation ("IMAX"), founded in 1967 and headquartered jointly in New York City and Toronto, Canada, is one of the world's leading entertainment technology companies, with particular emphasis on film and digital imaging technologies including 3D, post-production and digital projection. IMAX is a fully-integrated, out-of-home entertainment enterprise with activities ranging from the design, leasing, marketing, maintenance, and operation of IMAX® theatre systems to film development, production, post-production and distribution of large-format films. IMAX also designs and manufactures cameras, projectors and consistently commits significant funding to ongoing research and development. IMAX is developing a digital IMAX system that will provide consumers with the premium IMAX experience they have come to know, value and expect. It is scheduled to be launched in June 2008.

The IMAX® brand is world famous and stands for the highest-quality, most immersive motion picture entertainment. As the IMAX theatre network grows, so does the visibility of the IMAX brand — a name that is unique in the entertainment business.

The IMAX theatre network currently consists of more than 295 IMAX theatres in 40 countries. Approximately 60 percent of the theatres are located in North America, while the remaining 40 percent are spread internationally. Roughly half of the theatres are part of commercial theatre complexes. The rest are located in institutional venues, such as museums and science centers. More than half of the IMAX theatre network is equipped with IMAX 3D technology.

To date, almost a billion people have enjoyed The IMAX Experience® at specially designed theatres around the world.

IMAX Corporation is a publicly traded company listed on both the Toronto and Nasdaq stock exchanges.
