• Non-scripted television represents a compelling growth opportunity for SPE

• Success requires global coordination and further investment to reach scale

• We need to manage our investments as a unified global business, including:

Embassy Row will serve as the cornerstone of domestic development;

complemented by investments in third-party EP and production company deals

2waytraffic and our equity stakes in smaller production companies will provide

international development capabilities

– Global acquisitions team, including executives from Embassy Row and 2waytraffic

– Dedicated staff to manage global ad integration
