HBO Divestiture Opportunity

September 14, 2009

-- Confidential -- p. 2

Executive Summary

• SPE is revisiting its global channels portfolio and seeking to rebalance the mix towards channels that are majority controlled and consolidated

• There are two primary channel holdings that SPE anticipates recommending we sell to Time Warner, HBO Central Europe (CE) and HBO Latin America, with discussions active on both

• Launch of HBO CE and HBO Latin America as multi-studio JVs was driven by a shared need for a pay outlet in each market that has now been met; operating benefits to SPE’s broader portfolio are expected to be achievable contractually rather than through minority equity stakes

• Sale of each is expected to occur at attractive valuations for the market, and at prices validated by Disney’s exit of each asset

• Proceeds from the sale of these channels would facilitate further investment in our majority owned and operated channel portfolio

-- Confidential -- p. 3

Executive Summary - continued

• At this time, SPE is submitting for consideration the sale of our 33% stake in HBO CE

• SPE believes Time Warner’s desire to consolidate HBO CE makes this the right time to monetize our investment, receive cash of $78MM, and recognize a gain of approximately $39MM– Presents an opportunity to exit a minority position at a full valuation– Time Warner is believed to have a “handshake” deal to buy Disney’s 33.3% stake in HBO CE; SPE’s options are

to exit, maintain a minority position with less board leverage, or exercise our preemptive right to buy-up and maintain equal ownership with Time Warner

• Transaction would be structured to protect SPE’s ongoing operating relationship with HBO in Central Europe

• Sale of our HBO CE stake requires near-term approval and execution to close within FY10 assuming a 4-6 month regulatory review

• SPE anticipates bringing the HBO Latin America sale to the committee in Q4 FY10

HBO CE Sale: Risks and Mitigations

Risks Mitigations

• Ownership in HBO CE has provided a key platform for growing SPE’s owned and operated channels

• Contracts must be structured to avoid risks to ongoing relationships after the sale of our stake

– HBO CE will continue to distribute SPE channels– SPE will continue to seek licensing revenues

from HBO CE (currently ~$8-9MM annually)

• Deal may not close in FY10 due to time required for regulatory approvals

– Approvals may require up to 6 months and timing is not in SPE’s control

• Distribution and licensing relationships will be protected through long-term contracts– Deal extends our distribution services

agreement (currently through 4/1/10) by up to 8 years at our option

– Deal extends existing license agreements (currently through 12/31/11) by up to 6 years at our option

• SPE seeks to close a deal quickly (in October), to allow the maximum time for regulatory approvals to be completed within the fiscal year

-- Confidential -- p. 9

Preview of HBO Latin America Sale Opportunity

• HBO Latin America negotiations are in earlier stages; agreement on terms is expected to require 60-90 days

• We are weighing selling our entire 29.4% stake or selling down to a 10% stake• Sale could generate $130-$200MM in proceeds and $108-163MM of gain

Relationship

• HBO distributes SPE channels in region

• HBO licenses ~$40MM of content from SPE annually

• SPE provides ad sales for HBO channels in Brazil

Potential Protections

• If SPE retains an ownership interest

– Retain board seat with decreased governance

– Receive a put on remaining stake

• If SPE sells entire stake

– SPE will have a long-term contractual relationship for HBO to distribute our channels

HBO CE: Valuation

Preliminary DCF implies $235MM is an attractive valuation

HBO CE multiples are in-line with multiples on Disney’s sale of its HBO Latin America stake

(1) DCF valuation assumes 8X terminal multiple applied to 2013 adjusted EBITDA of $26.2MM (EBITDA less corporate allocations).(2) At close HBO CE will have cash of roughly $20MM. As this is considered the necessary working capital it is not added back to the valuation.(3) Implied HBO CE multiples based on adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA less corporate allocations).
