SPE expects to recognize cash of $65.4 Million and a gain of approximately $41 Million in FYE11, partially addressing a budget challenge in the year. The put was secured in March 2010 when SPE sold 21.2% of its 29.4% stake in HBO LAG. The exercise price applies 5% growth to the valuation of the initial 21.2% sold. Four month notice is required before closing. Although the sale of SPE’s remaining 8.2% stake will decrease visibility into HBO LAG’s operations, SPE’s content licensing and channel distribution relationships with HBO LAG will continue under the current agreements. SPE’s content license agreement with HBO LAG will continue through March 2014 with SPE having the option to renew through March 2018. SPE’s distribution agreement with HBO LAG for SPE’s three channels will be extended 5 years from the sale date through March 2016, with a further 5 year renewal at SPE’s option through March 2021. If the put were not exercised, the term of the distribution agreement would expire in Dec 2013. A non-suspensory filing was made with the competition authority in Brazil after the sale of SPE’s 21.2% stake and would cover the exercise of the put. Although approval has not yet been received, chances of not getting such approval are remote. If Ole Communications, the third party holding shares in HBO LAG, closes a sale of its equity in HBO LAG before SPE closes the sale of its 8.2% stake, it is possible that a suspensory competition filing would be required for the SPE sale and delay closing until FYE12. However, SPE believes this is unlikely. SPE has no reason to believe Ole Communications intends to sell its stake in the near future. Further, Ole Communications could not close a sale without also receiving regulatory approval.
