Entertainment Distribution Company Announces Appointment of

Robert L. Chapman to its Board of Directors

NEW YORK—November 6, 2007— Entertainment Distribution Company (Nasdaq: EDCI), (the “Company”) a global and independent provider of supply chain services to the home entertainment market, today announced that Robert Chapman, Jr. has joined the Board of Directors as an independent director.  Mr. Chapman is Managing Member of Los Angeles, CA-based Chapman Capital L.L.C., an investment advisor focusing on activist and turnaround investing.  Prior to founding Chapman Capital in 1996, Mr. Chapman co-managed the Value Group within Scudder Stevens & Clark, which followed employment with NatWest Securities USA and Goldman, Sachs & Co.

“We are pleased to welcome Bob to the Board,” commented Mr. Bailey, Chairman of the Company. “Despite a year and a half of vigorous debate between the Company and Chapman Capital, we have both concluded that we were pursuing the same goal of enhancing shareholder value, and we are now aligned in executing on that goal. Bob brings a number of complementary strengths to the Board that will be valuable as we continue to evaluate all strategic alternatives, not only for EDC but also for the parent company's cash and tax losses.”

Mr. Chapman commented, “Significant independent owner representation on public company boards of directors is the strongest form of corporate governance. EDC’s entire Board of Directors should be commended for proactively taking open-minded, diligent steps to distinguish between how Chapman Capital’s deportment would differ with its managing member working as EDC co-director vs. activist outside shareholder. Particularly given EDC’s current market valuation, this new partnership should help transition the Company into its next corporate form.”
