 PANAVISION INC. COMPLETES REFINANCING

Woodland Hills, Calif. - January 20, 2004 - Panavision Inc. (PVIS.OB) announced 
today that on January 16, 2004 it completed a refinancing of its senior secured 
credit facility through the execution of an amended and restated senior secured 
credit facility and the receipt of $100 million from the private placement of   
Senior Secured Notes due 2009 secured by a second lien on certain of the        
Company's assets. The transaction permitted the Company to extend principal     
payments of approximately $215 million otherwise due in 2004 under its existing 
credit agreement and included a new equity infusion by an affiliate of          
MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc., the Company's majority shareholder, of $23   
million in cash and conversion of approximately $19 million of indebtedness into
preferred stock, among other provisions.                                        

The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, together with     
borrowings under the amended senior secured credit facility, to repay amounts   
outstanding under the old senior secured credit facility.                       

Panavision's President and CEO, Bob Beitcher, said "this is an important step in
Panavision's future. With this refinancing accomplished, we look forward to new 
initiatives to build and improve Panavision's operations, both in existing and  
new markets."
